The CAUCASIAN Race will be excluded from Paradise

Greetings Abu Loren,

The message that Muhammad brings, by 'allah' in the qur'an, is an extremely confused message.

5:42 Listeners for the sake of falsehood! Greedy for illicit gain! If then they have recourse unto thee (Muhammad) judge between them or disclaim jurisdiction. If thou disclaimest jurisdiction, then they cannot harm thee at all. But if thou judgest, judge between them with equity. Lo! Allah loveth the equitable.

So Muhammad was 'advised, by allah', that to disclaim jurisdiction would be in the interest of his safety... but that if he were going to judge then judge fairly.
Also, in the interest of his own safety... use their own scriptures to settle their disputes... this way also he could not be accused of any unfairness.
and yet he (Muhammad/allah) goes on to say

5:43 How come they unto thee for judgment when they have the Torah, wherein Allah hath delivered judgment (for them) ? Yet even after that they turn away. Such (folk) are not believers.

So apparently allah feels that there is nothing wrong with their own scriptures, just the unwillingness of the people to follow them.

5:44 Lo! We did reveal the Torah, wherein is guidance and a light, by which the prophets who surrendered (unto Allah) judged the Jews, and the rabbis and the priests (judged) by such of Allah's Scripture as they were bidden to observe, and thereunto were they witnesses. So fear not mankind, but fear Me. And My revelations for a little gain. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are disbelievers.

5:45 And We prescribed for them therein: The life for the life, and the eye for the eye, and the nose for the nose, and the ear for the ear, and the tooth for the tooth, and for wounds retaliation. But whoso forgoeth it (in the way of charity) it shall be expiation for him. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are wrong-doers.

So while earlier saying... 'obey what is written in the scriptures' or else you are disbelievers...  he then says... but it is more to the good of the one who foregoes the enforcement of such punishments.

and yet calls those who do not enact the judgement of the scriptures, wrong-doers... So which is it?

For me... Yshwe taught, 'faith, hope, and Charity, and that the greatest of these is Charity'... i.e., the forgiveness of trespasses... 'and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us'.

5:46 And We caused Jesus, son of Mary, to follow in their footsteps, confirming that which was (revealed) before him in the Torah, and We bestowed on him the Gospel wherein is guidance and a light, confirming that which was (revealed) before it in the Torah - a guidance and an admonition unto those who ward off (evil).

5:47 Let the People of the Gospel judge by that which Allah hath revealed therein. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are evil-livers.

The people of the Gospel (i.e., Christians) are to judge by the Gospel.

5:48 And unto thee have We revealed the Scripture with the truth, confirming whatever Scripture was before it, and a watcher over it. So judge between them by that which Allah hath revealed, and follow not their desires away from the truth which hath come unto thee. For each We have appointed a divine law and a traced-out way. Had Allah willed He could have made you one community. But that He may try you by that which He hath given you (He hath made you as ye are). So vie one with another in good works. Unto Allah ye will all return, and He will then inform you of that wherein ye differ.

The former scriptures have been confirmed and confirmed that they have been protected.
Those that follow Yshwe, have the way of Yshwe, the Gospels.
All is happening just as the Creator designed it to happen.
and He will reveal to you at your meeting with Him, the Truth of all matters

One has to have understanding, and I am interested to know what your understanding is. Shukran and salaam, Caringheart note:  Remember you were the one who accused me...       "Do you know the meaning of the verse 5:48? I very much doubt it." and I have shown you my understanding. Now please show me yours.  Peace.

As far as my understanding of the verse is concerned, it simply says that it was God who sent down the Qur'an to Prophet Muhammad (SalAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) confirming that it was indeed the same God who sent down the previous revelations such as the Torah. Then God tells Prophet Muhammad that if the Jews and the Christians were to come to him for judgement for crimes such as adultery, stealing etc the he can judge them using the Qur'an. Then God tells Prophet Muhammad (SalAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) to not to listen to nor deviate from the Law that he was given if the Jews and Christians tells him that his judgment is wrong.
Then God tells us that if He Willed then He would have made mankind one nation or one religion and that it He Who made the Jews and the Christians astray to test them (to see if they would follow Prophet Muhammad (SalAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) and what he was given in the Qur'an.
When we all die then we will all be resurrected and we will all return to Him then He will show us where we have erred.

Greetings Abu Loren, It seems to me that you overlook a great deal. What about this; 5:44 Lo! We did reveal the Torah, wherein is guidance and a light, by which the prophets who surrendered (unto Allah) judged the Jews, and the rabbis and the priests Then God tells Prophet Muhammad that if the Jews and the Christians were to come to him for judgement for crimes such as adultery, stealing etc the he can judge them using the Qur'an. I don't know how you reach this conclusion when the surah's clearly state what I've shown above as regards the Jews, and this below, as regards the Christians. 5:47 Let the People of the Gospel judge by that which Allah hath revealed therein. by what has been revealed therein... in the Gospel.. not the qur'an. and for the Jews, the Torah... which is precisely what Muhammad did... He judged them according to their own scriptures.  Are you not aware of this? I believe he did this for his own protection as much as anything... If he used their own scriptures he could hardly be accused of anything.  Then God tells Prophet Muhammad (SalAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) to not to listen to nor deviate from the Law that he was given if the Jews and Christians tells him that his judgment is wrong. Then God tells us that if He Willed then He would have made mankind one nation or one religion and that it He Who made the Jews and the Christians astray to test them (to see if they would follow Prophet Muhammad (SalAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) and what he was given in the Qur'an. 5:48 ... For each We have appointed a divine law and a traced-out way. Had Allah willed He could have made you one community. But that He may try you by that which He hath given you Clearly the surah states that each has been given his own way and that they will be tried according to what they have been given. When we all die then we will all be resurrected and we will all return to Him then He will show us where we have erred. I am pleased that we agree on at least one statement.    This last of yours.  asalaam, Caringheart

[/QUOTE] This is because you don't understand the Qur'an. What you read is not what the meaning of it is because the verses may be referring to something else.
