Who do you refer too? I have been discussing these verses with you, and showed you basis why your explanation and interpretations are flawed. Here are examples:siliconinvestor.com siliconinvestor.com In this exchange, and all the posts previous to them (which for time sake I did not reference in this post) I showed you clearly why the explanation of this verse you gave was illogical, and clearly not right. You came back and thanked me to agree to disagree. Is this an example of someone baselessly rejecting explanations? If anyone is baselessly rejecting explanation, aren't you rejecting my explanation? And I must say for no good reason, when my explanation makes perfect sense to everyone, except maybe you. Next example:siliconinvestor.com We were in the middle of exploring a verse, and you never replied to it. Where is a baseless rejection of an explanation, when you never finished explaining the verse so a interpretation can be rejected or accepted? You haven't proven anything about the killing of pagans in the verse we were discussing. Next example:Message 16998206 You make the statement the Quran is unaltered for 1400 years ago. I show you documented evidence to show you are not correct. Who baselessly rejected evidence here? And next:Message 16993793 I tell you I could show you information, without ever reading any book, of the Satanic verses in the Quran. You state, "if I haven't studied the Quran because I really don't have the time to, I surely don't have the time to study the satanic verses." Well you should make the time if you truly want to defend the Quran, shouldn't you? You are baselessly accepting the Quran and commentaries about the Satanic verses (and all Islamic scripture for that matter) without fully studying them, but then claiming people are baselessly rejecting explanations who are willing, and do study them, like myself. You see my point? Please stay open minded as I continually remind myself to. You admit you have not studied the Quran completely, but have fully accepted it. Is that not baselessly accepting something? God Bless, IGIT
