No, I am hoping for the truth to be made clear.

Are you suggesting that Muhammad would permit the perpetrators of all these atrocities to escape punishment if they convert? 

Regardless, the Tafsir did not specify these atrocities.... it only outlined the consequences for each group if they refuse to accept Islam.

You cannot lose to your wife .that would prove Muhammad wrong regarding the deficiency of a woman's mind

If Allah says there should be no compulsion in faith, and some Muslims contradict that command, is that a contradiction in the Quran?

Again some verses of the Quran need the interpretation of a tafsir or a Hadith..I cannot anyhow misinterprete them or you will call me a liar Big Grin

Asserting that there is no contradiction is an invitation for others to present evidence that challenges or refutes that claim Big Grin

There will be no contradiction if they are allowed to leave freely....that is the meaning of no compulsion in faith...

So is the tafsir and Hadith allowed to build my arguments?

Who didn't allow them to leave freely? And why?

I don know. I'm not a moslem
While the Quran emphasizes freedom of belief ("There is no compulsion in religion"), the concept of apostasy (leaving Islam) and its potential punishment is a debated topic. ...

If it needs to go to a debate..then the Quran isn't clear

Again, the challenge is for you to find a contradiction within the Quran. Whether the Quran isn't clear to you is not the subject we're discussing.

You think you've found two or three.

I've already shown you an apparent contradiction in the Bible, where one verse says no man has seen God but another verse says somebody have seen God face to face.

Now, I will show you what is known as inner contradiction in the Bible.

Christians say Jesus is the prince of peace and they will quote Isaiah. But Jesus himself said he didn't come to bring peace but a sword. That's called inner contradiction.

You're showing bias, Habibi.. When Sim mentioned the muddy spring as a contradiction to science, you didn't establish any criteria or boundaries for your argument.. you could even give him your arguments

Allah speaks about a man who saw or perceived the sun setting in the muddy spring. You call that a contradiction?

Are you that desperate? I've shown you a sample of what a contradiction is in the Bible, twice already. So there, you have something to work on. The challenge is still open to you.

No one has seen God in his full glory, his true form...have or not? Not even Moses, Abrahim and Jacob only saw God in human form..

Jesus brings about a lasting peace for all lah...the "sword" will divide the world into those who believe in Him and those who do not....you have to read everything in context...

Pls explain clearly..should we interpret it literally or metaphorically?

I already dismiss your argument...it is not even a contradiction...pls read the whole bible

Oh.. that is another contradiction. The Bible says God is not a man but then God is in the form of a man. Another verse says the world cannot contain God but another verse says God was once contained in a human body.

Such contradictions require you to spin a reply that doesn't come from the Bible itself.

Allah tells us of a man who perceived the sun setting in a muddy pool. We humans have that perception. Even today, after knowing the sun doesn't set, we still say the sun sets.

I don know which verse you are talking lah...if you want an exchange..at least give me some quotes to work on lah..I don want to do your dirty work...

God is not limited by physical space or human creation...but in John 1:14, God can also be present in the world in a human form...

It can be understood as expressing different aspects of God's nature and relationship with the world...why is it so difficult to understand

So, researching the Bible is dirty work. Okay noted.

Anyhow, in 1 Kings 8:27, it says the entire universe cannot contain God but in John 1, God was contained in a human body. You then explained it by saying God changed his nature, from infinite to finite. Now, that presents another contradiction because in Malachi 3:6 and James 1, they say God cannot change.

Thank you for the quotes. This solved alot of guess work..what do you understand from these 2 quotes...

God's character and plans cannot change according to this 2 verses...

Malachi 3:6 is "God's Unchanging Faithfulness"

A fitting header for James 1:17 would be "The Source of Every Good Gift"
