Go explain that to your own people.

-You nknow Snakelegs... i'm asking myself the same question...why would anybody waste their time searching for mistakes in someone else's holy book????
why would anybody waste their time searching for mistakes in someone else's holy book????
May to tell (proof) them that they are wrong and should stop because if they do not they will go to hell. That's a short anwers to a short question
If you want more of an anwer to why we are wasting our time then PM![]()
why is there any desire to prove that others are wrong? why not worry about ourselves and leave the others to god to judge and worry about?
i can't imagine going through other people's holy books to find errors...
Hmm, jus for the purpose of trying to see both sides I will TRY lol to put something forward, now this has jus come to mind so if there are mistakes tell me:
For example,
Say you found out that your friend lived in a house, and the building company who built his house was known for making mistakes with the gas, and many people had died from living in houses made by them because of gas leaks, and you had this knowledge, I am hoping you would tell your friend, 'yo, whats the dillio :giggling: bro check your house I think you mighth ave a gas leak since I know others who have had them when their houses were made by this company' but your friend doesnt believe you so you go to your friend's house and say, 'let me look around to find the fault' and you go to the boiler and find the fault and show him, and then he believes you and leaves.
Now similarly, if you know that someone's religion has a fault in it, then wouldnt you tell him? Or would you jus let him be, which could mean he would die or find out himself.
If you would take the risk of him dying then I guess thats upto you.
But personally, I would tell him, and if he didnt believe him I would show him.
Peace
what im saying is:
In the similar sense that one has knowledge of a fault in the gas system, a muslim may feel he knows his friends religion has a fault.
So for example if the muslim says your religion has a fault in its scripture, but the person doesnt believe the muslim then the muslim can say look and shows him a contradiction thats all.
similar with a person having knowledge of a gas leak and showin his friend of the gas leak.
"your analogy doesn't work because the gas leak is clearly observable and measurable. the afterlife is a belief."
I dont know where I was comparing anything to the afterlife, the gas leak which is observable, is 'the fault' which in religion would be the contradiction, which is observable.
because you had said "If you would take the risk of him dying then I guess thats upto you."
"how could i know that someone's religion has a fault in it, since it is a matter of faith? i don't have to agree with someone's beliefs, all i have to do is respect them."
Ok, if someone says that something is written by someone who is perfect, then you wouldnt expect mistakes in it. If you find one then you know it has a fault right?
how would i know it has a fault? to people who follow a religion, that is their truth and i see nothing wrong with that.
(and I know most christians here dont think the bible is G-ds word)
Noone said you have to agree, and yes respect the belief, but respecting isnt just accepting, you should speak and act in a respectable manner but still be truthful. If you find what you believe to be a fault in someones belief system then it would be the noble thing to do for you to approach them and ask about it, so together you can both find truth.
May to tell (proof) them that they are wrong and should stop because if they do not they will go to hell. That's a short anwers to a short question
i understand what you're saying, and that this is the muslim (christian, too i think) position.
i have to admit that i have a problem with proselytizing religions (here it's always christians).
in any case, i am glad that i don't have to read other people's holy books to search for mistakes!
thanks for your explanations.
Im glad you kinda understood me, lol i was begging to think I was jus confusing everyone.
I dont get the proselytizing thing, I dont have a clue on that word.
I dont think many people jus go reading other peoples books to find mistakes, they jus hear lectures or something.
