Are divine laws to last for eternity?

The Koran and the Bible and other Holy books were written many many years ago. Are all the laws written therein relevant for all time or certain parts only meant for the people during that dispensation period? In my opinion any person can have the right to speak about anything regarding religion even though without a formal education as long as he or she has a desire to know God. The prophet Isa is a good example. He never had a formal education but he can answer every questions posed by all the religious scholars and when He asked questions, nobody seem able to answer. In fact He said the Scribes and the religious leaders misinterpreted the Scriptures and in so doing killed many prophets sent by God to warn them of their error.



The chopping off of hands for theft and stoning to death for women caught in the act of adultery may be valid during their time but is it valid now? Now they are trying to reduce the impact by declaring that four independent witnesses must be present. What will happen if today a person who stole was caught by four or more indepent witnesses? Will the law chop off his hand? Primitive laws are for primitive people. Even during the times of Roman empire, a woman caught in the act of adultery was brought to the prophet Isa. He said 'According to the law of Moses this lady must be stone to death but let the one who has no sin cast the first stone' No one dare to cast any stone at her. He told the lady to go but sin no more. From that day onwards no woman caught in the act of adultery can be stone anymore. We have made progress. But sad to say, it is this one act of amending a law of Moses that caused Him to to be put to death.



Today, many of us are confused. Some interpreted the Holy Books to condone terrorism while others said their religion is a peaceful type and never condone violence in whatever form. Who then is correct? The very fact that people are confused is enough to confirm that God will not stop sending prophets in modern time to warn those in error. Who are these prophets? Are they the leaders who got their Ph Ds in religious studies with high positions in the Mosque or church?

Prophets never have high positions nor do they aspire to have any. Most of them of just ordinary folks but with great desire to do things pleasing unto God. That is all that is required of them. John the Baptist is a good example. Many people thought he was a madman living in the desert on locusts and honey. When he was beheaded, many started to believe he was a prophet of God but nobody know for sure until the prophet Isa confirmed him to be a true prophet.

We must understand a prophet's job is very onerous and dangerous. He must tell Kings or the religious leaders that they are wrong and no kings or leaders like to be told that they are wrong, even if they are wrong. It is for this reason that many are imprisoned and some even killed by these recalcitrant kings and religious leaders.



Prophet Isa has already confirmed that nobody should stone anybody to death unless he or she has no sin. Why are the people not listening to him? Is he a lesser prophet or what? He said clearly that those who love God shall know what is the right doctrine. If one interpreted the doctrine in a wrong manner it goes to show that his heart if far far away from God. Liquor is haram to Muslims but the prophet Isa not only drink with sinners, he also turned seven barrels

of water into wine during a wedding at Cana. He said it is not what we put inside our mouth that defile us. It is what comes out from our hearts that defile us, hatred, jealousy, murder, etc.



The issues about canning for drinking and the selling of liquor are actually not issues at all.

Are they going to cane the Ministers if they are found drinking? What about the sons of rulers

who drank at pubs. Are the authorities going to cane them. Let us wake up to the modern era.

We not not as primitive as before. Before, my father used to cane me. I have stopped doing that to my sons. Are we progressing or are we degenerating and going backwards.



Finally, I would like to end with 'Let God be true and man false'
