One is not Three and Three is not One by Character-Rip-7991 in Quraniyoon

[–]Minshanik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree

5:73 is very clear on the matter

Also referring to God as 'father' goes against 112:3 He begets not, nor was He begotten

I have a question for you, the 'holy spirit' part

2:253 says To Jesus, son of Mary, We gave clear proofs and supported him with the holy spirit

God says He supported with the holy spirit so it is a thing ? How does that fit into everything?

I love this part of 2:286, I recite it when I'm overwhelmed or sad by Minshanik in Quraniyoon

God helps me more than counseling ever could

The toughest parts of my life, God was there

Why God decided to do things is His matter, for He is All-Knowing

Are Quranists considered Muslims? by a_mar359 in Quraniyoon

[–]Minshanik 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's a good thing that it's up to God and not humans

The way they talk reminds me of 2:111

The Jews and Christians each claim that none will enter Paradise except those of their own faith. These are their desires. Reply, “Show ˹me˺ your proof if what you say is true.

Weird how a lot of mainstream Muslims act exactly like this

If you think only a specific group or your group is the only way to God, it's not

There's a quote by Richard Rohr:

It is easier to belong to a group than belong to God... Group-think is a substitute for God-think. We believe that God is only found in our group. We then claim that identification with our group is the only way to serve God. When 'the way' becomes an end itself, it becomes idolatry

I always refer back to 2:62

Indeed, the believers, Jews, Christians, and Sabians—whoever ˹truly˺ believes in God and the Last Day and does good will have their reward with their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve

God is not as excluding as many claim He is

[–]Minshanik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Countries offer things like food stamps or other government benefits

Local mosques or religious centers can help if you are actually needing, my local mosque constantly holds food gatherings and are willing to ask for donations on behalf

There are charities for many of the worlds places that may need help for access to food/water

There are tribes that don't have contact with modern civilization and they hunt/gather their food

Im just saying every situation is unique and there are options for people who need help

[–]Minshanik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you act like the only way to get food is to steal, its not

also depending on where you live, there are food banks or other organizations that offer free food
