Dear Pete
I saw the following post in MT underneath your essay "So, teach me the 'jalan yang betul' then!" (inserted by Rev. Thomas on Oct 07, 2011 during 06:23:42):
"Correction: True Jews as well as Christians do not hold Allah is God. He is God of the Muslims. To the Jews as well as Christians He is YAHWEH ELOHIM or the English interpretation LORD GOD."
I looked hard to see what usually Rev. Thomas was correcting, though you found nothing. you can usually pretence he contingency have been referring to the essence of the deleted post.
Nonetheless, this elementary sufficient two-liner, joined with the essence of your essay as well as the alternative comments thereto, usually kept bugging me all day long, to the indicate where you usually had to put my thoughts in to writing.
Rev. T starts off his correction by saying which "True Jews as well as Christians do not hold Allah is God", as well as so you found myself wondering usually what which meant. After all, the Christian concept of God as the Trinity, where the single of the 3 is Jesus Christ the Son of God (God in the flesh), is not during all what the Jews believe. The commonality in the God of the Jews as well as the Christians precedes the concept of the Trinity as well as lies in the God of Abraham. Now, as it happens (and which you, Pete, know full well), the God of the Muslims is the same as the God of Abraham.
Thus, if the Jews can call which same God "Yahweh Elohim" while the Christian! s make use of th e tenure "Lord God", afterwards the Muslims using the name "Allah" does not alter the actuality which it is the same God which all 3 religions have been referring to. Any "thinking" Jew or Christian (in my book, the single who has an open as well as enquiring mind) would have to agree which Allah, Yahweh as well as the Lord God ! have bee n the single as well as the same entity. So why does Rev. T contend which the opposite is true.
Well, Rev. T did not impute to "thinking" Jews as well as Christians; instead, he used the tenure "true" to report them. If the Rev. T means "true" in the sense which "true" Jews as well as Christians have been 100% devoted to their respective religions, afterwards what has which got to do with not straightforwardly accepting which the God of Abraham, called Allah by the Muslims, is not the same entity as the God of the Jews or the Christians? Sadly, you can usually interpretation which Rev. T's comment is the acknowledgement of the bigot, which means which he himself cannot thus be the loyal Christian.
The next thing you wish to indicate out is which Rev. T, along with most others, happily ascribes the masculine gender to God. Why is that? After all, to be masculine means bei! ng the lif e form of the passionate course which cannot have babies. If it is an entity which can imitate inside of itself, afterwards it is hermaphrodite. If God could reproduce, even inside of God's own entity as well as but outward assistance, afterwards God would presumably emanate the God replica, thus destroying the "one as well as usually God" concept. This thus leads to the conclusion which God is substantially sexless. That being the case, who decided which God should be included with masculine qualities as well as addressed as the man (i.e. Lord God, instead of Lady God)?
Yes, you were right, Pete. We, personkind (women as well as group collectively), really do not know the first thing about God, do we?
Warmest Regards,
Wally
