RE: Won't Change Anything

Comment comment by Anonymous on 12 April 2008

Maybe won't change anything soon, but sooner or later- probably later by a good degree- this will get out. But of course the same can be said for all texts about anything historical or otherwise, and peopel's views do change given time. If only we had a stable, bounded, absolute truth we knew has never and will never change. But we live on Earth, right?

RE: Won't Change Anything by scottb :: NR7

If only we had a stable, bounded, absolute truth we knew has never and will never change. But we live on Earth, right?

But this is exactly the problem. Many Muslims believe that they do have a "stable, bounded, absolute truth [that] has never and will never change". Many Christians believe the same nonsense about their scriptures. The belief is much less prevalent among Christians, though, perhaps because it's been long recognized that they've been changed quite a bit already. Muslims have had little exposure to the idea that their scriptures aren't "stable, bounded, absolute ... and will never change". This can help.
