| 14:26.36 | jsmith | Greetings, all... |
| 14:28.20 | klys | hi |
| 14:32.34 | resplin | Greetings |
| 14:42.23 | klys | what's new |
| 15:00.51 | resplin | I had a meeting this morning with my business associates in Brussels. What a crazy time for them. <sad> |
| 15:09.20 | klys | someone should perhaps go through the qur'an and make a text of all the truths contained therein |
| 15:14.35 | resplin | Lots of good stuff in that book. I don't think the people that caused the problem today understood it very well. |
| 15:16.50 | klys | so much is made of understanding this partially true book. it needs an intense amount of rewording and abridgement. shame no one wants to take it up. |
| 15:18.17 | resplin | I don't know if "rewording and abridgement" are what it needs. I found this discussion to be really useful: |
| 15:18.22 | resplin | http://mi.byu.edu/mip-33-quran/ |
| 15:19.11 | klys | I bet a high percentage of lds people have enough of the spirit to put forward a reasonably accurate version of most suras. |
| 15:22.44 | klys | really I don't subscribe to the theory that the qur'an is accurate or worth study as an original text, though. |
| 15:23.38 | klys | one time, I had a lot of time on my hands and someone lent me a library qur'an. I made a translation of sura 1. was easy. |
| 15:23.58 | klys | shame though, all of my notes were trashed. |
| 15:27.46 | klys | news: rob ford of canadian fame died of an abdominal tumor. |
| 16:32.00 | romanovic | I think it's brillian that printed copies of the Quran generally have the original Arabic along with translations. Some day I do want to study it in full (I've taken World Religions classes, with only a portion devoted to Islam) |
| 16:35.59 | romanovic | Could you imagine if original Greek and Aramaic sources had been preserved with every copy of the Bible? |
| 16:36.47 | klys | you can get an aramaic peshitta online |
| 16:43.50 | klys | the restored version of the qur'an has yet to be written. |
| 17:00.21 | resplin | It is pretty easy to buy a bible that shows an english version side-by-side with the best available original texts. |
| 17:00.58 | resplin | Strong's dictionary is also really useful. |
