Good. A cornerstone of shia belief has no basis in the Quran.
What i mean was that i cannot provide references as i do not remember them. There are several references in the Quran that refer to the succession of Imams, About the true successor after Rasulallah (SAW) being Maula Ali (AS) etc. Will try to provide the same as soon as can be with relevant arguments, but cannot commit on time.
So your answer is that you have never received any answers to unanswerable questions from these people but it is only your belief that you will. And you are comparing your faith in these people with my faith in Allah right? Are you suggesting that having faith in these people is the same as having faith in Allah? Are you saying that these people are the same as Allah?
My argument was just an example and not be taken literally. I am sure you understand that.
I have posted this earlier also and repeat it here:
My belief is that i will not get answers to all questions that anybody can come up with from a Dai.
I believe so through logical reasoning (as per my earlier post) and do not feel the need to waste my time, effort, money in testing it.
When you have faith in a Dai, you believe that he conveys the message of Allah in the way it was supposed to, nothing more. Remember, A Dai (as per my reasons given earlier) is not a Masoom and may make a mistake so you should at times cross check his teachings / instruction with books & hadis from the earlier Dais and Imams & The Quran. These should not have changed from the time of Rasulallah (SAW). If they do, then there has been an addition to the religion which is completely unacceptable.
I hope i have clarified myself.
