Subject: One God, many faiths? |
Bible Note: Hi Curt, I read your points; they look great and very few to add. I was studying this subject for some time and it could help to know that the Trinity of the Christians, in the inspired book of Islam, is not the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. According to Q'uram or Koran, we believe in the Father, the Son (Jesus) and Mary. I think we should try to understand that if they believe that's our Trinity, then we have to be wrong; the point is how did they get this "revelation" that does not correspond to Christian believe? On the other hand, the Arab tribes they had many gods, each one with his on stone color. Mohammed knew his god, the one of the black stone, and got his revelation from him. It is interesting to notice that while he was getting this revelation he fall to the ground in convulsions, spitting foam out of the mouth; this is very suggesting of some other power, but the power of God. It could be as it was suggested that this was B'aal, the deceiver, and we know him for long The expressions about women are also very interesting, especially if they are suppose to come from God. It is obvious that we are not dealing with a new view of the same god, but with another god, which is not, by any means God, but a false god; could it be the angel of light? Oscar |
