Does God change or does not change His mind? According to Ibn Hazm, Exodus 32:10-14 and 33:3-14 ascribes al-bada' (changing of mind) to God and hence this presents a problem to the nature of God and His characters with regard to His All-Knowing attribute. 上帝是否改變或不改變主意？據伊本哈茲目，出埃及記32:10-14和33:3-14賦予鋁巴達'（改變心態），以神，因此這個問題提出了上帝的性質，字關於他的全知屬性。 When one compares the above passages side by side, the internal contradictions between especially Exodus 32:10, 32:14 and 33:2-3 on the one hand and Exodus 33:14 on the other, clearly raises many problems of theological and moral concern from the Biblical context.當一個以上的段落比較並排，內部矛盾，特別是出埃及記 32:10，32:14和33:2-3一方面和出埃及記 33:14，另一方面，明確提出了許多問題，神學和道德關注從聖經的上下文。 In this case that was quoted above, in spite of God's determination to punish the Israelites for their idolatrous conduct, He did not execute punishment due to the intercession of Moses who had “reminded” God of His promise made with Abraham and the patriachs for their descendents.在這種情況下，這是上面引述，儘管上帝的決心懲罰以色列人為他們的偶像崇拜的行為，他不執行處罰，由於對說情的摩西誰曾“提醒”上帝他的諾言，與亞伯拉罕和patriachs他們後代。 This Biblical passage seems to implicitly suggest that this “reminder” had made God realise his “wrong” decision and have Him repenting for it.這似乎暗示聖經通過表明，這一“提醒”已經上帝實現他的“錯誤”的決定，讓他後悔它。 Such an obvious “error” or even to imply such a thing is hardly befitting any person of integrity, let alone God, the Almighty….這種明顯的“錯誤”，甚至暗示這樣的事情是任何人難以相稱的完整性，更遑論上帝，全能的...。 Read More閱讀更多
3 / 12 / 07 - The issue raised by this monograph thus can only exist, as a historical issue, if there is a marked difference between the Qur'an and what the author parenthetically calls "Muslim traditional literature." 3 / 12 / 07 -提出的問題本專著，因而只能存在，作為一個歷史問題，如果有顯著差異古蘭經和插入語是作者所說的“穆斯林傳統的文學。” This is precisely the author's position, and he posits that a historical gap existed between the formation of the Qur'an and the appearance of this Muslim traditional literature (pp. 17-18).這正是作者的立場，他斷定，一個歷史的形成之間存在差距的古蘭經和外觀，這個穆斯林傳統文學（頁 17-18）。 The Qur'an, according to the author, predates all the other literature.古蘭經，根據作者，早於所有其他文獻。 Moreover, the knowledge hitherto accepted as historical that we have about the rise of early Islam is not, according to the author, a product of the Qur'an but of this literature (which he defines as comprising everything but the Qur'an).此外，迄今接受的知識作為歷史，我們對早期伊斯蘭教的興起不是，根據作者，一個產品的古蘭經，但這種文學（他界定為一切，但古蘭經）。 The whole of the monograph is dedicated to proving that the Qur'an is not arguing against "real" pagans when it argues with the group it calls mushrikun , those who practice shirk or associationism, that is, worshiping other deities in addition to Allah.整個的專著致力於證明古蘭經不是在反對“真正的”異教徒時，與本集團認為它調用mushrikun，這些誰逃避或聯想主義的做法，也就是說，除了其他神明崇拜真主。 Rather, the author claims, the Qur'an is adopting a rhetorical stratagem that is very common to monotheistic traditions.相反，作者聲稱，古蘭經是採用一種修辭戰略，這是非常常見的一神論傳統。 To call someone a "pagan" or "idolater" was to label them as less Christian or less Jewish than the accusing faction.某人打電話的“異教徒”或“拜偶像”標籤，它們是那麼少猶太基督教或派比指責。 The same should be held true for the arguments in the Qur'an....同樣要舉行真正的論點古蘭經 ....
