Peace everyone,
I wanted to revisit this thread and see if there are more people who have read the natural republic and what's your opinion?
Thanks
I just read it fast. At glance it's good. The intention is good.
However it's just like any other "Quranist movement", who exclusively worship the Quran only.
I completely disagree with those Quranists who believe that the Quran is the only road to salvation. They condemned prior books, such as the Taurat and the Injil, as perverted, corrupted and no longer fit for use.
They name themselves the Monotheist Group, but they are essentially just Quran worshippers. Because it contains no other monotheist creed.
The Quran only applies to those whoever it reaches, whether through the family line or other means.
6:19 Say: "Which is the greatest testimony <shahādatan>?" Say: "God is witness between me and you, and He has inspired to me this Qur'an that I may warn you with it and whoever it reaches, that you are bearing witness that with God are other gods!" Say: "I do not bear witness!" Say: "He is only One god, and I am innocent of what you have set up!"Are you feeling lucky? Are you God's chosen one to receive the only authentic book and the only road to salvation? Were other humans created by God apart from you and your group, only to end up in hell because they were given a tainted book? Is it really their fault?
The exclusive Quranist merely repeats the errors of the people of the books, who were exclusive and fanatical in their views.
2:111 And they said: "None shall enter Paradise except those who are Jews or Nazarenes;" this is what they wish! Say: "Bring forth your proof if you are truthful."Look at the Quranists now, they say and behave like the Jews and Christians... none will enter the paradise except the Quranists.. but they have no proof.
If a Quranist manage to enter paradise, it does not mean that those who do not follow Quran will not be able to. Heaven is not an exclusive place for their people.
To find the truth, one must strive inside his/her beliefs regardless the book that reaches him/her. Sunni/Shia become open-minded Quranist, Christian become true monotheistic Injil follower Jews become true monotheistic Taurat follower..and so on
15:9 Indeed it is We who have sent down the reminder, and indeed it is We who will preserve it.Because Allah preserve His reminder. Taurat and Injil are also God's reminders. Taurat, Injil and Quran may have several versions. but God's messages that can save people from the fires of hell are preserved in it.
That's justice.
