Re: The concept of being Stoned to Death
When hadith contradict each other and the Quran, what other choice is there? When God promised the unchanged, final word revealed in the Quran, why would he put his followers through the maze of deciphering what is legitimate hadith and what isn't? It kind of makes the fact that the Quran is complete, 100% truth irrelevant if people are following hadith as though it is 100% truth as well. Then Islam is just like the Muslims view of Christianity - some of it is God's word, some of it is man-made.
Semi, no one here is comparing with Christianity so why the comment. And your generalizing. Whatever may be Gods word or man-made among muslims is and has been kept separate. You don't see ahadith mixed up in the compiled form of a Quran as we say is the case with the Bible.
