You are misinformed again.
With what?
Read again please, and show me.
As to the first part of your comment, there is no major religion which has only one branch.
It doesn't matter. I was not talking abut sects, but about Islam. Islam = Mohammed.
Catholics don't believe the same things as Protestants, even, as can be seen, with regard to consanguineous marriages. Mainline Presbyterians and Episcopalians have different tenets with regard to matters both theological and verging on the social, such as doctrine regarding homosexuality than do evangelical denominations such as the Baptists, much less groups like Church of the Nazarene and the Church of Christ.
That only means, that some of them, or maybe all, are wrong.
One is certain - they all cannot be right simultaniosly. If some
church is teaching that homosexuality is ok, it is not christian
church who is teaching according to the scripture. He could
be call nominally "christian", but if you look into scriptures,
you'll see what is the right doctrine.
You may not be aware of it, but there are reform movements within Islam, just as a Reform Judaism developed, and before that the Conservative Movement in Judaism, both of which are different from Orthodox Judaism.
And what that means? That they changing Islam? No.
They are creating some silly imitation of this religion,
which became a new schisma or sect - uncoranic.
If you have a dollar, and you will try to change him,
becasue maybe you do not like Washington in front
on the blanquet, and you print dollar whith Mahatma
Gandhi - it will be still dollar, but not the original one.
This is a difference between sect and original religion.
The problem is that Wahabism seems to be gaining ground.
And salafism. Most of muslims are agree with that kind of "interpretation" - if you like this word.
And they will grow, becasue they are close to true Islam. Reform moovments will be destroyed
as an apostates, becasue you can't reform something what is perfect, eternal and godly. How
can you reform something like that? HOW? Yu must be someone who is more powerfull than
Ałłah, or someone who knows better than Mohammed. Are you?
Ed. I am not a world authority on Islam, but you know absolutely nothing about it.
Nothing at all. But it is normall, that atheists know evrything better. But after that, they are shocked...
The Old Testament says that women taken in adultery should be stoned to death.
Yes. It said this. You can obey or not. If you are not obeying,
then -
according to that source,
not me - you are an apostate.
Even the most ultra-Orthodox Jews don't do or advocate that.
I doubt such boldly conclusion.
But they never ever say, that this is wrong.
Their ancestors were stoning according to that verses.
Religions. evolve and so therefore do interpretations of scripture. There are indeed Muslim Imans who preach that this particular stricture should not be interpreted literally. It's just that they seem to be losing ground.
Did I say, that such imams do not exist?
I would suggest you do some reading.
Everything can be reading as a alegory and at the end, the book
become worthless, becasue everyone will read what he like to.
Do you read in such manner books, acts, or penalty codex?
When you break the law, and judge will jugde you, then say to
him, that you was reading in evolving interpretation and you was
not interpreted this stuff literally.. It will be certainly seem, that
judge will be loosing his ground... or you?
