There is No Shame in Telling the Truth

It is written in the Hebrew Holy Bible to be clear on this point: "judge not lest thou be judged."

In this case we, can see how true this can be, for the 'shame' supposedly heaped on the Pastor comes from one who clearly does not have grasp of the Truth found in the Tanach and the Brit Hadassah. Now, if we are to debate the various ways a non-English word is transliterated into the King's language, we have seen various versions of Muslim (Moslim/Moslem) in more academically developed discussions than this, and to make a point, the response to the Pastor's post is as full of English errors (as even may be found in this writer's posting) as any that have been seen. Does this present cause for discriminating against the opinion? This opinion says not.

But more the point of the dissenting opinion against the Pastor's observation is the wrong attitude of the dissenting opinion, that of the supposed perception there is commonality of the alleged monotheistic application to the deities of Judaism and Islam, versus the stated understanding of the Gospels, that there are the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the combined personality of Elohim, Almighty God. This comprehensive understanding of Almighty God comes from the Jewish Holy Scriptures, and Christianity is the fulfilled extension of that Judaic fact.

It is Islam that took the corrupted idea of a single entity deity from the religious misperceptions of the 7th century and had them incorporated into the dictated tome of the Quran. We must remember that the Islamic Prophet made known his disbelief of the Jewish Messiah from the beginning of his dissertations, replacing Him (Yeshua) with his own version of who he thought Yeshua (Issa) was. He was wrong then, and people who hold to the same idea need to reconsider who Yeshua HaMashiach really is before it is too late.

Remember the sh'ma, that the LORD is One, that the Holy One of Israel is One with the Father and His Spirit, and we have King David's word (as quoted by Yeshua HaMashiach) on that, as well as in other places in the Hebrew Holy Scripture.
