manipulation of language - in the religious context

Reader comment on item: "Arab Spring" - Misnomer
in response to reader comment: manipulation of language

Submitted by M. Tovey (United States), Jun 13, 2011 at 16:59

1: As I have already alluded here and in other places, I am NOT a student of the Quran, thus the questions as to why the Quran does not recognize Yeshua HaMashiach's own words as to Who He is, and why is there no witness from the Islamic Prophet as to his own relationship with Yeshua HaMashiach? Remember, science in the occidental philosophical mindset is the reasoning of humanity against the religious philosophical mindset. The Holy Bible is not a book of science, but does contain those verses that authenticate the understanding that all nature and all elements of the universe are part of the creation by the Eternal Author. 2: As I have been told by a variety of Muslims, the Quran is the religion of logic, therefore it is not hard for this reader to conclude that human reasoning can be used to discuss the Quranic verses by which Islam can be embraced by those who so desire; but there is no amount of human reason that can divulge the true revelation of the Almighty Sovereign of the Universe except that He teaches it by His Spirit. 3: The Quran has not corrected the history of Christianity, for if it had, the modern man would never have heard of the original manuscripts (Qumran, etc.); for if the Quran were true, all original information of the Holy Bible would have been destroyed. 4: I have no pre-directed influences of the sufficiency of Sufism to those to whom it speaks.

As for it being a sect, since it does not speak to confirm the truth of the Hebrew Holy Bible, whether it is a sect or not is irrelevant to the issue at hand, the truth of the words spoken by Yeshua HaMashiach. 5: Non responsive. 6: Thus there is no specific reference other than the 'farthest,' of which there is no certainty in religious human terms, only by an oblique connection still not verified. Abraham, on the other hand, knows exactly where it is. 7: Before the Quran, Yeshua said believe in the true Anointed One and calling for trust in faith in the Holy One of Israel; it is not my religion that I trust in, but the Person of Yeshua HaMashiach; and He said there would never be another one through His Spirit.

The Quran has no true answer for that, does it? Now, this might be perceived to be confrontational by many; but it was/is not the intent. If there is the presumption that Yeshua HaMashiach is indeed the 'Prophet' before the existence of the Quran, and if there is the presumption that an Almighty Eternal Sovereign does indeed control the universe that He created, then how is one to understand that once He spoke His Word of Revelation through Yeshua HaMashiach to the chosen, that mere humanity could interfere enough to contradict His written WORD. Is that not the context of the mindset of the followers of the Quranic Prophet?
