“Christianity of the West...
... going to try to summarize in general how it is that Western Civilization is...
The evangelists and especially St. Paul “did not understand” who Jesus was and what he taught...”
“

Where to begin...
Paul didn't understand Jesus?
What?
You typed that with a straight face?
Most of the NT is Pauline and you typed that?
Now who was that heretic who cut out all of Paul's writings?
Let me think....

Further, as Joel makes quite clear, the Bible, both OT and NT is Israel-centric, not Western-centric.

Because of our Western cultural views some try and put Western ideas into prophecy by jumping through allegorical leaps of symbolism.

The Bible is more clear than all the allegorical symbolism.

pardon me, but your arguments are weak, substantiated by more extra-bibilicl literature than Biblical, you use too much allegory to try and put the US into the Bible where the Bible does not mentions the US. You would make a good muslim.

He's conveying the Muslim worldview, not his own.
