Our first article focused primarily on political matters of the Muslim faith. It was designed to be a wakeup call for America to seek the people we are fighting against. This is a matter of Theological concern. Within many Muslim websites in regard to the 12th Imam, it is claimed that the Torah, the Psalms of David and the Gospel accounts contain contradictions and are problematic. There is in fact believed to be a corruption of the texts over time. However, a thorough study as I have done within this area, demonstrates there has been absolutely NOT A BIT of tampering with the text of the Bible. There are some matters within some of the interpetrations of the Bible. I especially draw some issue with the KJV, NIV and NLT, amongst others. All of this aside, this has to do with Theological motivations more than it does the actual Greek and Hebrew variants of scripture that we have today.
That our first problem. But if the 12th Imam is supposed to fix contradictions, he runs into a major problem. The Quran itself contains contradictions in and of itself. So by fixing the contradictions in the Torah and the Gospel and Psalms of David, there is a significant problem we run into. By fixing the problems as is perceived, he creates more contradictions. Thus it is becomes a contradiction for one to consistently uphold this belief system (given that the Quran is pure and holy according to the Muslim). Don't take my word for it. Lets test the Quran. Surah 2:256 "Let there be no compulsion in religion; truth stands out clear from error."
We shall proceed by listing out a few of these contradictions.
1. Who was the First Muslim? The Quran has many different answers to this.
In Surah 6:14 and 6:163, it is Muhammad. In Surah 7:143, it is Moses. In Surah 26:51, it is some Egyptians. In Surah 2:127-133, it is Abraham. These people are from all different time periods. This is an irreconcilable contradiction.
2. Can Allah be seen, and could Muhammad see him? Again, both answers are given. Yes in Surah 53:1-18, 81:15-29. No in Sura 6:102-103 and Sura 42:51.
3. Were Warners sent out to the nations by Allah? In Surahs 10:47, 16:35-36 and 35:24 Warners were went out at the beginning of time by Allah to every nation. How can this be if Muhammad was sent to warn a nation who had never heard before? Suras 28:46, 32:3, 34:44, 36:2-6
4. What food will people eat in hell?
Depends on which Sura you ask. Sura 88:6 says it will be only dhari. Sura 69:36 says it will be only pus from the washing of wounds. Then 37:66 says that they will be able to eat from the tree of Zaqqum.
5. Can Muslims marry Christians?
Interesting what the Quran has to say. According to Sura 2:221, Muslims are not to marry idolatrous women. Sura 9:28-33 proceeds in calling Christians idolatrous people. But in Sura 5:5, Muslims may marry Christian women.
6. Will unbelievers be rewarded by Allah for their deeds?
Again, depends on which Sura we look at. Sura 9:17 and 9:69 the answer is no. However, when we look at Sura 2:62, Christians will be rewarded for their good deeds. We've also seen that Christians are defined as idolaters. And in Sura 9:17 it is declared that idolaters will have no reward.
Another clear contradiction.
Our 7th and final contradiction we will look at is found here.
7. How did God create man?
From a blood clot - Sura 96:1-2, water - 21:30, 24:45, 25:54, dust - 3:59, 30:20, 35:11, and nothing - 19:67.
From these alone it appears more rational that the 12th Imam might want to focus first on the Quran before starting on the Torah and Gospel accounts.
