Jewish Scholars Say Amazing Things About Islam - COMPILATION
The NT very clearly speaks of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They can't be three "gods" because there aren't "gods," there is only one (see Isaiah 43-45). They can't be one God and two lesser beings (cf Jehovah's Witnesses), both because they are spoken of as being equals, and also because Hebrews has the Father commanding his angels to worship the Son.
The only way it makes sense is to understand that the One God is one Divine essence but also exists eternally as a perfect society of Divine Persons.
If, as the Christian scripture teaches, "God is love," and (as reason teaches) God is utterly perfect in Himself without reference to His creation, then God is necessarily a communion of Persons, since love always requires both a "lover" and a "beloved".
Written Arabic followed and did not precede Mohamad. By the time of Mo, there were various predecessor scripts, usually derived from other written languages and none essentially Arabic. Formal, written Arabic was developed as a tool of conquest and rule, especially in order to spread the lies by and about Mohamad, as it was most convenient to adopt and twist Judaic and Christian cultures and religious beliefs to their purposes.
Here's a related concept as described in the Tree of Souls:
Some say that the soul of the Messiah has been exiled to a place of desert and desolation where no one walks. A storm wind rose up and created such confusion that the Messiah lost all the signs that were given to him, with which he was to identify himself before the people of Israel. As a result, it became impossible to recognize him, for he had no way of revealing himself.Furthermore, some of the lost signs and marvels of the Messiah were found by false prophets who began to appear, calling themselves by the name Messiah. But once their lies and wantonness were exposed, their false teachings were revealed for all the world to see.
Others say that the soul of the Messiah has been chained and is being held captive by the forces of evil. Not until the chains of the Messiah are broken will the captive soul of the Messiah be set free.
In any case, the smart money's on those who recognized the problem and got straight to work on it.
Keep in mind that the messiahs of the past and the messiah of the redemption of Israel are not God.
That and the other teachings of the rabbis will be accepted by the world accordingly while they walk away from all other religions (including Christianity) and ideologies of the world. The Jews will have the last laugh in this epic struggle between ideas of life and death.
Zechariah 8:23
So said the Lord of Hosts: In those days, when ten men of all the languages of the nations shall take hold of the skirt of a Jewish man, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”
That’s inherent in the logic, that if the Messiah believed the doctrine [that the Messiah is God], he would never be able to recognize himself, not in a million years.
Perhaps most would think that’s an absurd statement, because why would he believe something like that in the first place? Well, I simply don’t pretend to know where he’s been placed for safe-keeping. Abraham’s God is way more ingenious than people give Him credit for. Truth will have the last laugh.
I’m not saying ‘skirt’ is the wrong word, just that the verse says so much more with kanaf in its common meaning of ‘wing’. (Dove — symbolic of the People of Israel)
Being the anti-establishment, bound-to-offend-someone just by existing type, I’d be the first to laugh if in the process of the big reveal, he’s pulled out of a Cabela’s. Through the receiving door. 😉
Or perhaps some other receiving door.
I suppose he needs to be smoked out first. Son of David... lineage produced from some place nobody expects...
Many trails of thought are belittled because the already-decideds have already decided what is dumb and should be ignored outright.
