He figured hed get a rise by saying that.
True I did hope for a rise, but that is simply because most Christians are simply unaware or willfully ignorant of their common heritage.
I learned the Tanakh at the knees of a Rabbi, so I may have a little different view point than you Christians who don't seem to understand its origins.
“True I did hope for a rise, but that is simply because most Christians are simply unaware or willfully ignorant of their common heritage.”
Their common heritage, yes. But the difference between the god the Muslims serve and the God of Abraham is vast. Knowing the sons of Abraham? I think you’d be hard pressed to do anything more than annoy GGG or myself with that one. Most Christians know the story of the sons of Abraham and that there is a common ancestry. We do therefore know the God we worship.
By the by... Your Rabbi must be very proud.
