“At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Ps. 16: 11) Growing Dominion, Part 125 “An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked is sin” (Prov. 21:4). God evaluates all our business with the intent we have for that business in mind. In other words, He does not isolate …
The Order of Revelation Matters
“According to this idea, the violent verses of the ninth sura, including the Verse of the Sword (9:5), abrogate the peaceful verses, because they were revealed later in Muhammad’s prophetic career: In fact, most Muslim authorities agree that the ninth sura was the very last section of the Qur’an to be revealed” (Robert Spencer, The …
Rap as Ultimate European Whiteness
