Re: A question

@The Old Man

Thanks for the explanation. I don’t mind reading original thought.

About the above two quotes:

The Bible teach that one can sin without knowing one is sinning. Moses clearly taught that one can unknowingly sin. Theft is sin whether it is a cultural thing in a group of people or not. Same for murder, etc. If I mislead someone to steal (while s/he does not know theft is wrong), I helped that person to sin.

Surely one can’t continue sinning knowingly and expect forgiveness each time one ask God for it? If this is the case, one can live sinning all the time as long as you (a) immediately thereafter ask forgiveness, and (b) ask forgiveness just before dieing?

Any person who does bad deeds deliberately with the intention that every time he will ask for forgiveness he/she will be forgiven is wrong. What is required is sincerely trying to stop the bad deed and expect to be forgiven.

Its just to show how merciful God Almighty is and is awaiting for someone to sincerely repent.

A social crime like theft is considered sin just as lying, cheating etc. etc.
Besides obviously wrong deeds, and those which are told in religeous books or by prophets etc. there are no major sins which can be commited “unknowingly” .

The “unknowingly” only works for thos who are
1-mentally retarded or similar.
2- person before puberty.

Yes Quran is perfect in its message. Sorry I was not clear enough in my statement about Quran and Hadees combination.

OK let me try… Quraan itself is perfect in its message and does not require its combination with hadees to be perfect. We keep mixing perfect and completeness with being accurate.

A hadees on the other hand is not always accurate. IF we have a hadees and we say that Quraan also says same thing then what we have is perfect scenario.
But its not the other way around Quran does not require Hadees to be accurate or perfect.

If we some hadees quoted which is in direct contradiction with Quraan (I have no example of it in my knowledge) then Quraan will be considered authentic.
Hope I was somewhat more clear this time.

I have great respects for ALL prophets and saints etc. and cannot comment on if or what sin they did or did not commit. I think the way I look it, I have to answer God myself and others will do same without my knowledge of their deeds.

I still think human being has both abilities and its personal struggle with help of God almighty only that a person gets to higher level. No one in between required.
Once the message has been delivered then the job of prophet is done.

Thanks for answering my question on newborn babies. With all due respect, it is very hard to accept. I will keep trying to ponder and search on it though.

I have given my thoughts and I still could be wrong since God knows the best.
