Now Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and he put him to death. 4 His daughter-in-law Tamar also bore him Perez and Zerah. Judah had five sons in all.

>9 The sons of Hezron, who were born to him: Jerahmeel, Ram, and Chelubai. 10 Ram became the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, prince of the sons of Judah. 11 Nahshon became the father of Salma, Salma of Boaz, 12 Boaz of Obed, Obed of Jesse. 13 Jesse became the father of Eliab his firstborn, Abinadab the second, Shimea the third, 14 Nethanel the fourth, Raddai the fifth, 15 Ozem the sixth, David the seventh; 16 and their sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail. The sons of Zeruiah: Abishai, Joab, and Asahel, three. 17 Abigail bore Amasa, and the father of Amasa was Jether the Ishmaelite.
>18 Caleb son of Hezron had children by his wife Azubah, and by Jerioth; these were her sons: Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon. 19 When Azubah died, Caleb married Ephrath, who bore him Hur. 20 Hur became the father of Uri, and Uri became the father of Bezalel.
>21 Afterwards Hezron went in to the daughter of Machir father of Gilead, whom he married when he was sixty years old; and she bore him Segub; 22 and Segub became the father of Jair, who had twenty-three towns in the land of Gilead. 23 But Geshur and Aram took from them Havvoth-jair, Kenath and its villages, sixty towns. All these were descendants of Machir, father of Gilead. 24 After the death of Hezron, in Caleb-ephrathah, Abijah wife of Hezron bore him Ashhur, father of Tekoa.

I suggest to everyone to read the Quran. Open it to pretty much any random point and go 10 pages back and 10 pages forward. Anyone who so much as utters 'religion of peace' without attributing it to Christ's teachings should be REQUIRED to sit down for even just 10 minutes and READ some of the Quran. By western standards, it's truly reprehensible, and its horrors should be maintained just as the horrors of Mein Kampf should be maintained, for both had wrought great suffering to great numbers of innocent people.

In all honesty, it's not. It's incredibly repetitive and poorly structured, and it seems to be mostly preaching to the choir. Most of it is just dull and God being a dick. It's not as bad as the worst parts of the OT, but not nearly as good as its best parts, either.

My studies of religion continues, and though I'm trying my best to find some good that goes with the evil in the Quran it is thus far an almost entirely one-sided situation. Even the section I quite like in regards to 'being just' no matter the opposition, we must look into 'what is just' in Islam. If a wife does not obey her husband, then she must be instructed on how she's wrong, then she must be forsaken from bed if she continues, and finally she must be struck if she continues. What is just in regards to Jews and Christians? Well first and foremost, as is said SEVERAL times in the Quran, don't take them as allies. It goes into particular detail about not trusting Jews. I'm certain Hitler would have very much enjoyed the Quran if he had read it. Well, what is just if a Muslim questions their faith and considers converting to a different faith? Death, that is what is just, so justice in itself based on western standards and western values might not be just at all, in fact it might scream of injustice to be just by Islamic standards.

If you think I'm not studying Islam correctly, if you think I'm exaggerating, then by all means, read the Quran and draw your own interpretation. Well, there is in and of itself a problem; the Quran is the word of God and must be taken as literally as possible. The Bible is open to interpretation after all Jesus Christ had even questioned or openly went against aspects of the Old Testament, and in Christianity the New Testament does indeed supersede the Old Testament not just in chronology but also in importance. If the New and Old conflict, go with the New, and scholars of Islam agree with that sentiment in the Quran. If an older verse conflicts with a newer verse, go with the new. It's rather unfortunate that most of the 'peaceful' aspects of Islam is in the earlier sections of the book while much of the more violent and warmongering sections are later in the book towards the end of Prophet Muhammad's life.

I believe if Islam is to truly be compatible with the west, then they are in desperate need of their own New Testament with a hippie-like Muslim-version of Jesus that calls out against violence. The problem is that the Quran is the word of God, of Allah, it is not up for interpretation or alteration, it is fixed, it is as it is and it must not change. It CANNOT change, meanwhile Christianity is far more flexible and can change with the times thanks to Christ's teachings. I mean, the Bible tells slaves to obey their masters, says it in both the Old and New Testaments, but you'd be hard pressed to find Christians who want slaves to return. I don't even know if those of the Westborough Baptist church, which is probably the Christians most hated by the overall Christian society, essentially the most extremist of Christians, would want slavery back. If they do, they are a VERY, VERY small minority. Meanwhile in many Muslim nations they still have slavery to this very day.

On the contrary.

I think the entire philosophy of accepting the Quran is indicative of forward-thinking momentum. Think of it this way: you have the most close-minded religion: Judaism. These people believe that the Jews are chosen. Still do. They are deluded. Islam addresses this issue. Moving on. Christianity. These people believe that Jesus Christ came and absolved us of our sins (good), and that he was the last prophet to come. There is no need for anything else.

With the Quran, the Quran states that it is yet ANOTHER sign from God. Showing that there will be more prophets after Jesus. And even though there are Muslims who say that Muhammad is the last prophet, there are many instances of the Quran predicting the future. I firmly believe there will be more prophets to come. My point about this is simple: God is real and the prophets don't stop. The space between them grows larger over time. Like prime numbers.

It's a basic concept. Nothing too far-reaching. You just have to understand that the idea that religion should be about a being (God) who isn't an interactive concurrent force with humanity is flawed. This is why I enjoy transcendentalism so much as well. Great philosophy, it is.

Islam is just compatible with progress in theology. It seems to me Judaism and Christianity are both too stagnant. But if God did send down a holy book (which I believe he did) then we have evidence that he will do various, unique signs. The fact that people are saying it reminds them of the Old Testament is because that's how God is. Believe it or not, while God can show himself in very psychological and divine ways, he has killed people before. What you have to understand is that fundamentally, God may not always enjoy the direction society is headed. That's why he intervenes. But if he intervenes with the way that society is headed, it's typically to smite an entire city or civilization. It's just how he is. People whine. People complain. That's exactly what they did in The Old Testament until he directly intervened. Let the infidels whine. Their hearts are hardened by God.

Hope this helps. The Quran teaches you to be patient with infidels. The Shias, Sunnis, Sufis, Kurds, w/e, they all have it wrong. We are in some dire need of Quranism these days.

I don't hate islam, apologist. And don't come with the "no meme anwsers" card.
Islam right now has a massive problem, that is, the followers are acting like they are in the medieval times, when even then people didn't followed the book by everyline. This has more to do with the fact that today, the mainstream muslim is a ultraconservative who hates liberal tradition when suits his wills. He will cry against the liberal tradition when such thing allow people to critic his religion or his beliefes, but will be very quiet when this tradition allows him to preach that such tradition is evil and how opressed it makes him. Also, he will be very quiet when he wants casual sex or when he votes for more religion in public life.
Islam itself has no value, It's the followers who make the value, and so far it goes, the followers are making islam have a bad value for anyone who grown up in a free society, where we judge people by action, and not belief or what they are. Unlike muslim majority country where some of these are illegal

No, they aren't. I put my opnion plain and simple: I don't have a problem with Islam, I have a problem with a big number of muslims, who have a backward and intolerant vision. This dosen't mean that islam in itself can't coexist with a free society, because religion should be a private question, not a public one like in muslim majority countrys. Also, even if some people say that you shouden't take what Mohammed say early in his life in comparisson with his late life, the quran isen't completely worthless. It's a medieval holy book, with many of the cultural traits of a time long past,that is, if there wasen't a movement to give rebirth to this backwards way of life (wahabbis for example).

Stopped reading right there. You definitely don't know shit about Islam.

Islam was never meant to be a ''private question''. It's why whenever ideologies like Liberalism, or secularism get crushed when they pop up in Islamic countries. They are inherently anti-Islam and no Muslim who actually follows his religion will never allow them to reduce the influence of Islam in his country.

Religion being a private affair is just you projecting your views on how things should be.

>These people believe that Jesus Christ came and absolved us of our sins (good), and that he was the last prophet to come

Paul? John the Revelator? The finality of Christianity is in the fact that Christ's death and resurrection was the final blood sacrifice necessary to atone for sin, the blood of a mortal lamb will cover sins for a time, but the blood of immortal God willingly shed will cover sins forever.

>You just have to understand that the idea that religion should be about a being (God) who isn't an interactive concurrent force with humanity is flawed

Yeah it is flawed, which is why it isn't part of Christian belief, what Christians claim that God doesn't interact with the world? Maybe the claim is that there are no more prophets today - which is reasonable since there is no need for any more prophets as the whole revelation of God is contained within the Bible. That's not the same as claiming that God doesn't interact with the world.

Regarding the wrathful nature of God in the OT, just because the NT doesn't focus primarily on God's wrath doesn't mean it has disappeared or that Christians don't believe in a wrathful God. Read Revelation if you want to see what God's apocalyptic wrath will look like. The NT focuses on the loving, forgiving nature of God more specifically because that is what it's about - the redeeming, forgiving work of God through Christ's sacrifice. Nothing in there contradicts or undermines the OT. The OT has plenty of content describing the loving and forgiving nature of God, read the Psalms. OT has more historical content regarding the building and tearing down of nations over centuries, which is one reason why there is more violence. Whereas NT focuses on individuals in one place at one time. There are still instances of God's wrath in the early church, see Ananias and Sapphia. God is both loving and wrathful, the creator of all existence and the originator of 'love' and 'wrath' obviously perfectly understands both emotions (and more).

On a side note, I think there will be another chapter in the Abrahamic religion in the future, rather it may just be a more psychological one.

Yes, you always pull that face when someone brings up this point but hear me out.
The teachings are DESCRIPTIVE.
So read what God has to say. Then observe.
Does anyone obey? Well, maybe two or three in a million people. Might be even someone who hasn't even heard of islam.
Look at how God himself defines His religion (The Romans:30).
Allah says that the natural, untouched state of man is religion.
That means the natural state of man is that he doesn't steal, doesn't lie, doesn't talk behind someone elses back etc.

I don't like it because it's literally a stupid religion. Aside from a few small and precious sects they reject the notion that the universe a rational and knowable thing. Scientific or philosophical discovery is at the least borderline heresy because we're not supposed to question God in who he is or his capabilities.

>implying people who are muslims need to follow every fucking bullshit the Quran says or that their actions alone are proof that the problem is in islam itself

There are and were people who follow islam and can live okay with anyone else. They can even criticize their own fucking religion, althought this is absurdly rare.
People and often do give up a bunch of their religious dogmas in order to pursue something more secular. This bullshit happened with christianity (although say that islam and christianity would follow the same path to secularization is a big mistake), I don't see why can't happen in islam.
Even if the religion itself is no more than a bunch of pseudo-christian arabic way of life, millions of people follow and truly believe it, and althought majority of them now have backward vision of the world and are bigoted to the extreme, I don't see why they couden't change, like, idk, christianity or any other religion.
I wonder what is people suggestion then? Should we kill all muslims? Ban islam? Ban any muslim from living in other countrys other than theirs? There was a time when islam was on their way be a more tolerant and cosmopolitan religion, than they have fallen and cant get up now. And this is getting worst because of saudi funnding of wahabbi dogma.
Even Martin Luther said to let the Quran be published, even if he said in orther to refute it. I don't see why, in a near future, muslims couden't get in the same route and embrace a more free and liberal society. Because of their religion? Ffk, people break their religion all the time.

If the murderers of ISIS had never heard of Mohammed, if the guys who shot up the Bataclan weren't professing Muslims, would they still have done the things they did? Even if they have misinterpreted the Koran in your estimation, they were still inspired by it to commit acts of terrorism in the name of Islam. Your theory is nice but reality tells a different story. People who claim to be Muslims but commit violence are not 'real' Muslims - I can understand that viewpoint - but in practical terms this won't affect anybody's decision to accept or reject Islam.

This is bullshit. There's a lot to refute and I don't have the time, but one of his first claims is that the Quran had different versions. Yes, but not in terms of writing. It had different versions of pronounciation.

This other arguments are copy pasted from the typical anti Muslim sites written by Evangelical apologists. The Quran also doesn't state the Trinity is made of up of Mary.

And IslamQA is a salfist site. It's not the standard. He also excuses persecution as a result of preaching. "Annoying" people is totally a reason to kill and maim others, especially when the preaching wasn't done constantly. Meccans made money of their pagan practices and so they didn't want another religion. And they also made the same argument Pagans made towards Christians: "not converting outside of the religion of my forefathers". The expulsion of Muslims from Medina is the fist act of violence, not the subsequent stopping of Meccan caravans. And the Jews in Medina were not all killed. It was one specific tribe among many who faced punishment as a result of breaking a treaty.

He also claims Muslims won because of superior numbers but that's idiotic considering Arabians come from a desert. They couldn't possibly outnumber the Romans and Sassanians. Deserts can't hold big populations, that's impossible.

The posts are full of twisting of some facts, exaggerations and adding lies. That guy also doesn't admit that the Roman's ally (the Ghassanids) executed a messenger which started the conflict between the Muslim Arabs and the allies of the Roman which tend accumulated into a bigger conflict. He also doesn't realize that Sassanian Persia had territory in the Arabian peninsula. It's absolutely retarded to suggest that empires like the Romans were somehow innocents who didnt du nuffin to deserve getting conquered.

Ah it seemed more targeted to the question of slavery. That said the issue here is not so much the name, but the traits of God. The passages quoted are instructions from Allah regarding why the Christian teachings are false - namely in that they ascribe "partners".

The issue is that the Koran is stated to be a perfect and uncorruptible text - Muslim's hold it to be a miracle and a proof of the teachings within - yet it makes exactly the kind of mistake you would expect a regular person to make - misunderstanding the trinity and thinking that Mary was a component instead of the Holy Spirit.

To assume that this is just a cultural misunderstanding is to start with the assumption the Koran as Muslims understand it is false.

>To assume that this is just a cultural misunderstanding is to start with the assumption the Koran as Muslims understand it is false.

I think you think much less of Muslims than you do of your fellow white brethren. I'm not accusing you of racism, because this is the least racist board on 4chan, but I am almost certain that people who retain their Muslim faith maintain that God is a loving being who is worldwide- and would adapt his message for any culture to which he came to.

In fact, maybe he does just that. Maybe the prophets will not end, and will be in different countries entirely. Who knows? In the end, all that is important is that we pray to God as he requires us to do, and that we give him our faith and spirit in its entirety for the faith of a better tomorrow.

No one is saying that Mary was part of the trinity. I think the point of these passages is just to clear up things. Worshiping Jesus as your God, for instance, is the same as worshiping Mary. It makes no sense. Jesus was immaculately conceived, true, that was a sign of God and God alone. Then he was born and professed that you worship God.

Then other writers like Paul and the various people who wrote the Gospels distorted what was said. But even in the Gospels he speaks for you to worship God and not himself. Clearly there is much truth to the Koran.

Worshiping a material being like Jesus Christ is fundamentally flawed. Although, for certain, God is man-like, perfect, and infallible, I can not picture him. I know he is the embodiment of perfect virtue, but I cannot say what he looks like. It is this very idea which resembles the Platonic good: it is impossible to conceive or even rationalize pure virtue. Even thinking about the concept of morals, virtues, etc. as flowing out from a perfect will is rather difficult. But those who pray to God as one being, instead of focusing on the materialistic aspects of reality and flesh by praying to Jesus Christ, fully benefit from God that much more than anyone else. They are able to contemplate the divine questions that you see posed on this site and elsewhere with much better accuracy and feeling than anyone else. Their lives, their essences, their personalities are composed wholly in a divine being which will punish others for being evil and will punish them for being evil. They have a reason, mentally, to be good. They believe in God because they should. It is this force which compels then in their day to day life. It is this idea, this notion, that unites them all. Clearly it is not such a bad idea to conceive of Islam, because as opposed to focusing on The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, you focus on no son, no holy spirit, not even a father. You focus on everything, and the perfection it springs from: God and the Earths and Heavens he has created.

Do you think they view other religions as legitimate pathways to heaven now that the final revelation via Mohamed has announced?

>Maybe the prophets will not end, and will be in different countries entirely. Who knows?
In order to hold that view you literally have to reject what is written in the Koran and essentially say that Allah was lying to Mohamed.


>No one is saying that Mary was part of the trinity. I think the point of these passages is just to clear up things. Worshiping Jesus as your God, for instance, is the same as worshiping Mary. It makes no sense. Jesus was immaculately conceived, true, that was a sign of God and God alone. Then he was born and professed that you worship God.
So why do you think Allah would leave out the Holy Spirit during a discussion of the Christian Trinity and bring up Mary who is unrelated to that?

Look through them again

- Allah states that that those who associate others with Allah are barred from heaven.
-Allah then states his one-ness and then outline the Christian "third of three" - which discusses Jesus and then Mary and how this is a breach of this oneness.

>Then other writers like Paul and the various people who wrote the Gospels distorted what was said.
What makes you say this unless you accept the Koran as an axiom and reject Christianity by default.

>But even in the Gospels he speaks for you to worship God and not himself.
Not at all, infact he is worshiped in many instances and does rebuke the people doing so - likewise he makes claims of traits that only God could have, which is why the Pharisees had him killed.

>Clearly there is much truth to the Koran
Your truth is premised on rejecting the legitimacy of the Gospel accounts - which demonstrate a very human ignorance in it. Remember as a divine text one mistaken idea refutes its divinity - likewise a document having some truth in it does not make it divine.

>Worshiping a material being like Jesus Christ is fundamentally flawed...

Much of what you're saying is of questionable philosophical/theological validity. This is important to address. First of all, I understand that I am going against the Quran a bit when I say that Muhammad is not the final prophet. Perhaps there is another prophet the Quran speaks of? Perhaps the Quran is speaking of the future even? These sorts of ideas are what spark my curiosity about this text in particular. I know it's heretical, but the reason I like this aspect of Quranism is because it moves beyond the basic notions of what the text was thought to be.

I do think, fundamentally, that they do accept that people will go to heaven if they believe in God and accept that God exists. There are many religions which make the individual be a good person. All of these religions will send the individual to heaven if they are indeed righteous. That's what I believe. The Qu'ran intermittenly states that the different religions will be punished for their different beliefs on the day of judgment, but it doesn't really state how much. I believe God to be the best judge so I leave that for him. For you not to see the beauty in the Quran is because your heart is cloudy, your vision blocked, you cannot see how incredible the message is.

This probably was indeed a misunderstand of the trinity. Until this day, you can come up to any muslim and ask about the it and the crushing majority will misunderstand it. Majority think that God literaly came down and screwed Mary, when It's nothing like that.
Then, this mixed with the influence of greek philosophers, literaly made the guys think that anything that isen't saying "god is one, nothing less" is a form of heathenry.

This isen't what happen. There has been much theological debate over the flesh of Christ and many people take it as a mede methaphor. This stuff about materialismo was one of the reasons the reformation was even happening btw, some people taught that using images or even the cross was a form of idolatry, what is clearly untrue. There is no materialistic pray in Christ, when you pray to God, you pray directly at him.

> Worshiping Jesus as your God, for instance, is the same as worshiping Mary.

>misunderstanding Trinity

Exactly like I said: until this day, people don't get the trinity, specialy muslims. I wont make jokes of it because I too took time to just tip what trinity is.
When you pray to god, you don't focus in the three persons, you only focus in one, because neither of those persons are one another, but all are God. Even if someone prays to Jesus, they are praying to God.
There is a group of christians who don't follow trinitarianism (non-trinitarians), this was always a topic of major theological debate.

I will only say what I have been saying since the beggining: no matter the religion, people can and often do give up their dogmas for more earthly achievs, so is foolish to think that a person cant be a muslim and live in a free society. This dosen't take away the need for these same people to stop being a bunch of babies and stare at their religion with a critical eye, ready to give up dogmas that aren't usefull and ready to call the bullshit they will find in their holy book, like a lot of christians did. And this is what islam truly needs: people who aren't afraid to be critical of their religion.

Just looking over your posts though it seems like your brand of perennialism is rather distinct from Islam. In particular one of the big issues Islam has when it comes to the kind of changes you talk about is simply that it creates a high and dogmatic standard for itself beyond what you see in other religions. Because other religions are divinely inspired there is that human element that can explain and allow for the bullshit, however the Koran does not have that and to say that even one sentence is bullshit means to reject its central claim of divine authorship. Its what makes Islam so much less flexible.

This is something that realy pisses me the fuck off. Why would you question being heretical? Just because you are going against a dogma?It's not heretical to question because if God existes, he gave you the hability to make reason, so he surely will expect you to use it. Using reason on a holy book will please God, because you are searching for Truth, no matter what, and using his gift that he bestow unto you. So fucking do it. Don't be afraid of what others think, you need to question and use reason, always, because if God gave to you, he expects you to use it, always.
>For you not to see the beauty in the Quran is because your heart is cloudy, your vision blocked, you cannot see how incredible the message is.

Joseph was a carpenter and the Jews were just is much into slave ownership as anyone else back then. If Joseph was even remotely competent, he should have owned a slave or two to help with the shit works and a house slave to help Mary with cooking and shit.

If he actually had a successful carpentry business it would probably be a 5-10 slave work crew and 2-3 house slaves. This likely would have been glossed over as insignificant as fuck considering slave ownership was as casual as modern day car ownership.

If the whole, three wise men with gifts thing actually happened then I can almost guarantee that some of the gold would have gone to pimping out Joseph's workshop with a fresh slave or two plus a nanny/wet nurse for Jesus.

The brits propped up far-right islamo-fascist sunni wahabism by propping up the Saudi extremists and helping them take the cultural center of islam
The united states has agitated the middle east and helped the saudis further by giving them weapons and helping them commit genocide against more moderate quote "liberal" factions of muslims, especially those who embraced economic leftism or nationalism. like the Libyans.

The united states and the UK ultimately have helped spread islamofascism on purpose to create the narrative that the entire muslim world is a bunch of backwards savages. This is to have a pretense to invade for "human rights violations" and take natural resources. STEM Pseuds stepping outside of their fields of study like sam harris and richard dawkins expound upon this narrative by bringing islam under secular scrutiny.

It is not that islam isn't a dangerous ideology, it's that muslims and arabs deserve self-determination within their own regions and western imperialists fail to respect this time and time again in favor of creating their own enemies to squash.

This has gone on long enough.

None of you will respond in kind because you benefit economically from this deliberate mobilization of islamo-fascism as envisioned by the sunni wahabist monarchs.

At least the money and guns are moving the saudis a bit to the left. They are the controlled opposition after all. They're letting women drive now. The west is supposed to be tickled by this while slavery has returned to libya, genocide is happening in yemen, and turkey bombs the leftist nationalist kurdish allies who helped defeat isis with the blessing of the USA.

Islam says you have to accept a pedophile prophet or else you go to hell. It also says you have to accept fan-fiction as sacred scripture (hadith).
Thus, it partners a man (muhammad) with God and it partners the works of men (hadith) with "holy scripture", it's idolatry of the worst kind, and it shows from its practices/teachings. Even the shahada puts muhammad in the same sentence as God, it's not sufficient to just believe in Allah but you have to believe in the "way of the prophet" aka pedophilia.

So your answer is no you have no basis to say Jesus owned slaves. The closest you have is the that his father as a carpenter in ancient times "probably" some on the assumption that all carpenters were successful business owners and never worked for others.

Ah yes, this I understand. Much of this is the reason why I like Quranism so much, even if I do disagree with the finality of the religion itself. Now it seems we are getting somewhere. I think we would all agree that Sharia law is quite silly. That the overall idea that the Hadiths are generally ill informed.

Now this last opinion can actually be derived from justification from the fact that the Quran directly speaks against what many of the Gospels and writers interpreted Christ's message to be. But Christ himself, many would say, never asserted certain things others said. An intelligent point, huh?

It seems the forces of evil work closer than you would think with God. Almost every single time God tries to show himself, evil hems the prophet in on every side with various interpretations.

From this we can assert the Quran is not wholly good, because the finality of the prophet is not true. From this idea springs a new religion. Now we understand why the finalities of the prophets are in every religion: prophets will always exist, no matter the technology, and these prophets are always proof of a God that is beneficial for society. Now you see.

Jesus was in no more position to own slaves than a child a house, had he gone on to live the standard issue jewish life of a successful tradesman then he certainly would have. He also almost certainly grew up in a slave owning house hold and surrounded by other slave owning families.

Muhammad lived like 60 years where Jesus only hit somewhere around his mid 20s and he spent the later part of that fucking around like a hippie instead of working.

>A guarantee based on a pop culture understanding of history

Dudes gave Joseph and Mary bling, they had to fuck off and hide from Herod to avoid the baby purge. They went to Egypt for a bit then went home after Herod died after a relatively short time in hiding.

Consequently, travel sucked and baby jesus needed a steady supply of milk to not die. Carrying all the shit and looking after a newborn baby is fucking hard while also playing refugee.

If they were in any way responsible, that money would have gone to buying a slave girl wet nurse plus one or two general helpers/guards.

Then they went back and had to establish themselves, assuming Joseph was the decent dude the bible claims that would mean investing money into the family business to ensure a respectable profit he can provide for his family with.

That means buying slaves to do the shit work in his construction business.

>Not really, compared to other ancient peoples.

The comparison was meant more towards the assets of a 20 year old vs a 60 year old of whom both are religious figures.

[Qu'ran 55: 33]O company of Jinn and man, escape the diameters (Aktar in Arabic اقطار) of the Heavens and the Earth if you can, You won't escape without authority.

This is the best one I can think of. Many people thought the earth was round. People all over did, dating way back to when Archimedes conceived his idea of the geocentric universe.

But it was not the accepted model until AFTER the Koran was given as a missive.

[25:53] He is the one who has set free the two kinds of water, one sweet and palatable, and the other salty and bitter. And He has made between them a barrier and a forbidding partition.

This is the section on fresh and saltwater. The most notable thing, is this is not said when speaking of waters in general. Although God says there are two different kinds of waters elsewhere in the Qu'ran, he does not mention anything about a partition when talking about the sea. Pic related obviously.

Again what evidence do you have for Joseph being a buisness owner and not a carpenter who works for others? What are your sources for him having to own slaves because he lived in a society that practiced slavery?

How many slaver societies mandated the automatic releasing of native slaves after a set period, and not only that but require you to furnish them? (Deuteronomy 15:12-15)

Secondly you just dont see the kind of numbers of slaves by percentage that indicate a mass slave economy like you do in the Roman Empire or Greek states. You write like Jesus was born in Rome.

These people believe that Jesus Christ came and absolved us of our sins (good), and that he was the last prophet to come. There is no need for anything else.

Why aren't the Jews chosen? It's not like Judaism is a religion that is completely closed off, anybody can join it. What makes muslims more chosen than Jews, Christians, or any other religion?
