[quote]Dear Salman,

1) Thank you fo agreeing that it can err. As I said lets find common terms, although it remains debatable whether new initiative would "certainly" carry more errors or not.

No one is err free after prophet(pbuh).I give you an example here.If you going to see yours friend to his house and you are not certain of the way.You reach to a junction where 10 people are standing and there are three ways proceeding through this junction.You decided to take help from them since you are not aware which way to proceed.You asked them which way should you follow after telling them the address.Eight of them tell you go to the right, one person says go straight and the last one says go to yours left.Assuming that all are sincere in telling you the address of yours friend’s house,I ask you here which way you are going to follow?

2)Telescope/Madhab or scholar) will show the object (i.e. stars/Quran&Sunnah) as it is in actuality. a) is against Quranic assertion that it is a clear book and b) is drawing a similarity between telescope and scholar, as I explained both are very different.

a)-Brother surely It is a clear book but this never means that people having different level of Intellect can understand it equally.No brother like in the wordily affairs we are bound to follow the expert opinions so do in the matters of religion we need the expert’s advises and opinions as well.b)There is a similarity with the teacher’s help to understand the thing which you need to understand and with telescope to see the things better which you can not see with naked eyes.Both are taking you to closer to reality.

3) Even when Quran is calling for constant "pondering", and the Prophet (sws) is asking not to make your scholars your Lords (rubb)?

That what you are not doing, the things I am presenting before you my brother.Yes we must not follow any one blindly even any Madhab too.
 
4) if he does not decide on his own, then who decides for him? what if the scholar is unconvincing? will his judgement still be followed unconditionally?

It is not the matter that on every issue there will be disagreement.Some time this can happened as well.My personnel experience is that I used to have often some disagreements on the issues with the scholars and I really some times used to debate with them.Usually very seldom it can witness.But I tell you honestly,the time has proven that I used to wrong and they used to be correct.
