IGIT, here is what I said...
"I really don't think it is right to think that verses that come after each other necessarily have to be related to each other... for example, in one of the Surahs, you find verses that address disparate issues... and actually, let me explain something... a collection of verses is called Surah and a single verse is called Ayeh in Arabic..."
and here is what you wrote...
"If the verses are not in order, and earlier verses come after later verses, as you outline, IMHO it becomes impossible for the Qu'ran (Muslim's word of God) to stand on its own. And I know that it does not, as you need the Hadith as well, to understand some aspects of the Qu'ran."
and "I appreciate you letting me know the verses can be out of order though! But also adding contradiction into it, as your writer points out, and non-sequential thought, we have a tall task in reading the Qu'ran and making sense of it!"
now, English may not be my mother tongue IGIT, but what I said DOES NOT mean what you imply to have understood it as.
and a fair warning IGIT, I will block you if you continue writing in a condescending way towards Qur'an or ridiculing it in ANY way. SO, be warned so you do not have to ask later.
