He was the best of people.

The crusades was wrong and that was not an�order God or Christ. In the eyes of God,Jesus and real christian�and in me�point of view it is totally wrong for a christian to go war, our war is not against "flesh blood" and the�church ministers gave the wrong education to thier members christian must take part�in any form of war or even think of murder, war is murder and Jesus said�we must not even hate your brother and love those who hate you, war is absolutely taboo for Christians.

The First Principles of the Two Religions:(Haykal) Muslims rejoicing at the victory of Heraclius and his Christian armies was great.Despite the many controversies that had taken place between the followers of Muhammad and those who believed in Jesus,their friendly and fraternal relationships continued to be strong throughout the life of the Prophet.

Greetings:

I will attempt to deal with all 60 questions. However not all at the same time.

I will begin with the first 14 dealing with the nature of God according to the christian view.

Now first remember that Christianity is seen as an extension of Judaism by true Christians.

Now ancient Israel believed that there was only ONE God. Take a look at Deuteronomy 4:35; 6:4, Isaiah 45:5, Zech 14:9.

The new testament makes the same claims. (please take a look at  mark 12:29-32, 1 cor 8:4-6, Eph 4:4-6; 1 Tim 2:5)

However the emphasis on one God does not contradict the Christian concept of the triune God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).

The texts simply affirms that there is no pantheon of various gods or deities.

So then how do Christians arrive to the conclusion that the ONE God is Father Son and Spirit?

Well lets begin in the Torah( Old testament):

Well the Old Testement even though it does not explicitly tech that God is triune, it alludes to a plurality within the Godhead.

Gen 1:26 - Then God said, �Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.�

Gen 3:22 - Then the LORD God said, �Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever�

Gen 11:7 - Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another�s speech.�

So clearly the Prophet Moses is alluding to the plurality of God. Why someone talk to himself and refer to himself as US, OUR, WE.

Now many people would say that this type of language was pretty standard for royalty. For example, Queen victoria or maybe elizabeth 1 (i cant remember right now) was well known for referring to herself in the plural. Famous remarks like -"We are not pleased"..... and the like.

There is a problem with this though. There is not any evidence whatsoever of any ancient figure refering to themselves as such, in the the ancient world; furthermore in the middle east, north africa or the mediterranean.

Such use of language is fairly recent not more that 500 years old and originating in northern europe.

So when someone says WE, US, OUR in ancient hebrew texts.... It means exactly that. That this is a conversation between 2 or more individuals.

Other Text to Look at:

Now Various references distinguish the Spirit of God from God.

Gen 1:1-3 -  ¹ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was[a] on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
³ Then God said, �Let there be light�; and there was light.

It would seem here that God and the Spirit of God are two separate entities.

Some references not only refer to the Spirit, but include a Third Person in God's work. look at the texts below.

Isa 48:16 (read it yourself) This chapter has prophetic significance regarding the coming Messiah (who Christians believe was Jesus)

The truth is that i hate to give these small reference text. When reading the hebrew scriptures, CONTEXT is important. I would prefer that anyone reading this read the entire books of Genesis and Exedous. Things start to fit together and you see more clearly the allusion to a plural God.

Wow..... that was long !!

Okay so I will stop here for now. My next post will attempt to answer in detail the first 14 questions.

This post will form part of the premises used.

Notice these references are from the Law(Torah) and the Prophets (old testament)

Now these are just a handful of references alluding to the plurality of God. There are many more.

Well see you next time then.
