Abraham did not refuse and was about to do it. God stopped him. Indeed, God, the Almighty has power over all things. It's a bit different in Islam, but Abraham was ready to do it. Not only was Abraham(pbuh) ready to do the sacrifice but also his then only son Ishmael(pbuh) was ready to be sacrifice...

مَا كَانَ إِبْرَٰهِيمُ يَهُودِيًّۭا وَلَا نَصْرَانِيًّۭا وَلَـٰكِن كَانَ حَنِيفًۭا مُّسْلِمًۭا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allāh]. And he was not of the polytheists.[Quran 3:67] But he mess...

A typical dictionary meaning; Jew: a member of the people and cultural community whose traditional religion is Judaism and who trace their origins through the ancient Hebrew people of Israel to Abraham. Right? Wrong? Partly right. Etymologically, Judaism comes from the name Judah who was one of the...

Yes.

Thank you for taking the time to confirm. We have thus establish that you are in disagreement with Kant in that significant respect? Is that fair to say?

Yes.

It was a very nice conversation.

Note I stated "yes, according to Kant" not "according to me personally." Alright. Thank you for the clarification. Our choice of going slow on the subject is paying finally as we are able to clarify and understand each other better. So let us continue going slow if you don't min...

To be more precise and to avoid further confusion; I personally disagree with Kant when he said that the Design argument demonstrate the existence of an Author of the world limited by the capabilities of the material with which He works, but find it is insufficient to prove the existence of an All-...

If I had added it later, there would be a remark 'edited x times' at the bottom of the post. https://forum.philosophynow.org/viewtopic.php?p=638100#p638100 It is likely you did not read my post while you were replying. I did not modify your post when I quoted it. You must have added that statement ...

I believe you missed my post above which happened to cross. "I do not agree with Kant [he had his reasons] where he used the term "God" e.g. the Author/Fashioner of the world." That statement was not there when I quoted your post. Did you add it later? Alright, so you don't use ...

It is not merely "the step" but rather that is a BIG fallacious leap of equivocation. The whole of Kant's CPR support his argument; in addition, Kant alluded the big leap is due to psychological factors. I agree with Kant's argument that we cannot take the big leap from the conditioned ma...

Yes, according to Kant. Thank you for confirming. So for me personally, I think you are simply denying the attributes of God as being the All-Sufficient Creator and Maintainer of all things, but you do not deny His very existence as you and Kant acknowledges His existence merely as the Author/Fashi...

I agree Kant's points as quoted above, but it needs detailed expositions. I duly noted your detailed exposition. But still let us go slowly on this. So, you agree with Kant that the Design argument demonstrate the existence of an Author of the world limited by the capabilities of the material with ...

OK, noted. I was thinking too far ahead with my point re taking the leap from the Conditioned to the Unconditioned. That happens, but let us go slowly on this one if you don't mind to prevent this from happening again. Firstly let me ask you, do you agree with Kant on the passage quoted? Kant is cl...

I didn't miss your point at all but I think since we were talking about so many things at once, you missed the passage of the Critique where Kant explicitly stated that. As I know this is important to you (as you started the thread), from now on I propose that we concentrate on one point at a time ...
