ABRAHAM - Father of Three Faiths

ABRAHAM - Father of TWO not THREE Faiths

[Phil V.]

A brotherly BUMP!

[spycatcher]

Nice to see National Geographic getting into the "Islam is peace" propaganda

[Phil V.]

When you throw a sideline pass do you throw "at you receiver" or do your throw "ahead of your receiver?"

Leadership comes in many forms . . .

[spycatcher]

You mean how the press takes different angles to "define and defend Islam" for the masses?

[Phil V.]

No.

There will never be a better future if we insist on remaining stuck of the reality of "now".

Lead nations to a better future rather than back to the present.

Islam is an elder brother of Marxism, but not even a bastard brother of Judaism and Christianity.

The former connection is obvious: "Marxism is undoubtedly a religion, in the lowest sense of the word. Like every inferior form of religious life (bold text is mine - N) it has been continually used, to borrow the apt phrase of Marx himself, as an opiate for the people."

And excuse me, Phil, today I have no time or mood to digest your rants on Musli peacefulness or Islam virtues. Peaceful and virtuous Palies had blown up scores of warmongers in Jerusalem pedestrian mall once again, have you heard? May be you'll be eager to propagate Islam on a thread on this topic, would you?

Abraham...the Father of One faith[the rest are facsimiles].

[Phil V.]

CORRECTION: The last paragraph . . .

"My God will save me." In these five site simple 
words is the essence of Abraham and his astonishing 
endeavors. They spell out his fundamental belief that 
there is one God. That belief changed the world forever.

Abraham was the father of Ishmael, then to Isaac, then to, I think, thirteen more boys and I have no idea how many girls. He was a party to one, count them, ONE, covenant with the Lord God Of Hosts. Abraham is not the father to three religions. The only religion that could lay claim to Abraham being the father of it would be Judaism, since that is the only 'religion' he practiced once he covenanted with YHWH, the legalisms/sacrificial strictures of Judaism that is.

He shouldn’t have thrown Hagar and Ishmael out into the desert. That is still causing us trouble to this day.

[Phil V.]

And excuse me, Phil, today I have no time or mood to digest your rants . . .

Oh my! (very brief "rant") LOL!

[Phil V.]

He shouldn’t have thrown Hagar and Ishmael out into the desert.

Yah, I suppose you're right. But that Sarah! WOW! She waited 99 years to have a kid. She let Abraham bed that floozie, Hagar. Then BINGO! HER very own child!!! Hagar is OFF THE ISLAND!

We see the same in families today, I hear.

[Phil V.]

Abraham...the Father of One faith[the rest are facsimiles].

3.2 billion believers are awaiting your direction. Christians and Muslims alike need your help . . . Got Faith?

[Fred25]

We see the same in families today, I hear.

Yep.

[VaBthang4]

They do not need my help.

Every man has been given the measure of faith.

Alot more than 3.2 billion have gone the wrong way throughout the six thousand year history of mankind...that is between them and God.

You know..this whole Islam is peace crap makes me sick. First of all, it isn't true, but even if it were, it's a moot point. The leadership of all the countries that mandate that their citizens practice Islam are all dictatorships or monarchies. In almost all of these countries, other relgions are forbidden to be practiced...
