In what ways are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam alike?<\/p>\n
=============================================================
\n————————————————————-<\/p>\n
1 They lead away from GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob<\/p>\n
————————————————————-
\nThe New Testament teaches against G-D\u2019s laws given to Moses.<\/p>\n
An example:(Acts 21:21) And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest<\/p>\n
all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that<\/p>\n
they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the<\/p>\n
customs.<\/p>\n
Other issues and examples would be that G-D called only once to Abraham in<\/p>\n
Genesis 22:<\/p>\n
2) And He said: \u2018Take now thy son, thine only son, whom thou lovest,\u00a0even Isaac, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a\u00a0burnt-offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.\u2019<\/p>\n
–This offering\u00a0was not allowed by GOD even once. This was a test \u00a0specifically for Abraham, to\u00a0shown that he would perform whatever the LORD GOD would ask of him(Abraham)\u00a0and test of trust by GOD.<\/p>\n
(see http:\/\/truthintorah.blogspot.com\/2011\/02\/this-is-test-will-you-pass.html for additional reading)
\nA sin sacrifice of any human has never been asked for or condoned by GOD. Sacrifice by the sinner I acceptable by GOD since Exodus to repent for sins, so it not possible that human being could be sacrificed 1985 years ago for anyone and would be a abhorrent act to the GOD of Abraham, the GOD of Isaac and the GOD of Jacob.<\/p>\n
Even more,<\/p>\n
Exodus 32:<\/p>\n
33) And the LORD said unto Moses: \u2018Whosoever hath sinned against Me, him will I blot out of My book.
\nIn Ezekiel 18:<\/p>\n
4) Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also
\nthe soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.<\/p>\n
Ezekiel 18:<\/p>\n
20) The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked\u00a0shall be upon him.<\/p>\n
21)But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.<\/p>\n
22) All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.<\/p>\n
There is no place I have ever found in the Torah\/Tanakh, aka Old<\/p>\n
Testament, where GOD accepts another\u2019s sacrifice for the removal of sin from anyone else\u2019s soul, if you have evidence otherwise \u2013where is it?<\/p>\n
As a result, no one may stand before GOD and say I am responsible for anyone else\u2019s sin. Each is punished only for what they chose to perform.<\/p>\n
See the Garden of Eden story —<\/p>\n
Genesis 3:<\/p>\n
17) And unto Adam He said: \u2018Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying: Thou shalt not eat of it; cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.<\/p>\n
Adam and Eve attempted to get out of punishment by blaming another. Yet, the result is only that GOD issues punishments based on what each one actually did, not what they were told or convinced to do. Each of us is responsible for what we do.
\nOnly the GOD of Abraham can forgive you, but you must repent to HIM.<\/p>\n
————————————————————-<\/p>\n
2 Maintained by mankind<\/p>\n
————————————————————-<\/p>\n
2.1 Accept what you are told, keep the FAITH<\/p>\n
2.2 Primary aim is personal power and glory for the leader<\/p>\n
2.2.1 My way is the only way! –I know what is best for you…<\/p>\n
2.2.2 Do what you are told, We know what is best for you!<\/p>\n
2.3 Requires you to be submissive to the leader<\/p>\n
2.4 Create New Rules based on previous rules(Writings of Moses), however these new rules (check your religion, –if not Laws written by Moses, then who\u2019s laws?)over rule the\u00a0previous Law. Mankind says \u201cI am smarter than any GOD.\u201d<\/p>\n
2.5 Create new rituals –means to observe the law –without actually relying\u00a0on the LAW.<\/p>\n
2.6 re-write the rules — Provide better update Laws.
\nNO WONDER PEOPLE WHO CAN THINK AND REASON, ASSUME THAT GOD IS NOT REAL.
\nIf this was all I had to base my choice on, I would be lost. Praise HIS NAME, I have more gifts than that, hence I know that GOD IS.<\/p>\n
3 Designed by mankind<\/p>\n
————————————————————-<\/p>\n
In each case, the main source of teaching is deigned by mankind. The process seams to be; demonstrate that you connected to Abraham, Isaac and Israel; use pieces of the Writings of Moses to demonstrate that you are
\nserving G-D; teach from your rules with reference to what others are also teaching(not G-D\u2019s Words); denigrate all other thought or interpretations. Or as some are doing currently, tell lies about the Writings of Moses and the people G-D chose; then teach that all views of G-D are as valid as the one they want you to believe.
\nExamples of these teachings:
\nJewish Texts other than the Written Torah(Five Books written by Moses),<\/p>\n
–Wikipedia says: [The Talmud (Hebrew: \u05ea\u05b7\u05bc\u05dc\u05b0\u05de\u05d5\u05bc\u05d3 talm\u016bd \u201cinstruction, learning\u201d, from a root lmd \u201cteach, study\u201d) is a central text of mainstream Judaism, in the form of a record of rabbinic discussions pertaining to Jewish law, ethics, philosophy, customs and history.<\/p>\n
The Talmud has two components: the Mishnah (c. 200 CE), the first written compendium of Judaism\u2019s Oral Law; and the Gemara (c. 500 CE), a discussion of the Mishnah and related Tannaitic writings that often ventures onto other subjects and expounds broadly on the Tanakh.
\nThe terms Talmud and Gemara are often used interchangeably. The Gemara is the basis for all codes of rabbinic law and is much quoted in other rabbinic literature. The whole Talmud is also traditionally referred to as Shas (\u05e9\u201d\u05e1), a<\/p>\n
Hebrew abbreviation of shisha sedarim, the \u201csix orders\u201d of the Mishnah. Mishnah, –Oral tradition takes precedence over the Writings of Moses(Written Torah)<\/p>\n
–Wikipedia says: Rabbinic Judaism holds that the oral tradition was received by Moses at Mount Sinai in parallel with the Five Books of Moses, the (written) Torah (Torah she-bi-khtav), and that these together have always been the basis of Jewish law (halakha). The \u201cWritten Law\u201d consists of the\u201cFive Books of Moses,\u201d the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, and not the Bible as a whole.
\nTalmud,Gamora –Commentary and discussions about applying the Writings of Moses(Written Torah) along with the idea that YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND the Writings of Moses unless we tell you what that is.
\nThese texts are in opposition to the Written Torah, which declares that the laws and rules we are to follow are written by Moses, as in Deuteronomy 30:(10 if thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep His
\ncommandments and His statutes which are written in this book of the law; if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.) In the Written Torah we are expected to do by our Creator(G-D) to get complete
\npeace on earth for all among other things.
\nNew Testament \u2013
\n[1] Paul is the first writer of the New Testament, and based on the his writings.
\n[2] He was using the teachings of the Rabbis or Sagas of his time, possible trained by them. Paul is said to have been a student of Rabbi Gamaliel II {who directed Simeon ha-Pakoli to edit the Amidah and make it a duty, incumbent on every one, to recite the prayer three times daily. Also, he directed Samuel ha-Katan to write another paragraph against informers and heretics.}
\n[3] He was on friendly terms with many who were not Jews, and was so warmly devoted to his slave Tavi that when the latter died he mourned for him as for a beloved member of his own family.<\/p>\n
[4] He loved discussing the sense of single portions of the Bible with other scholars, and made many fine expositions of the text. With the words of Deuteronomy 13:18 he associated the lesson: \u201cSo long as thou thyself art merciful, God will also be merciful to thee.\u201d<\/p>\n
Controversy: Gamaliel was a controversial leader. He excommunicated his own brother-in-law, Eliezer ben Hyrcanus. In a dispute about fixing the calendar, Rabban Gamaliel humiliated Rabbi Joshua ben Hananiah and this led to a rabbinic revolt against Gamaliel\u2019s leadership of the sanhedrin.} This has been copied from Wikipedia.<\/p>\n
The point is that Paul as first writer of the Net Testament, never knew Jesus. This makes him not a creditable witness. Unfortunately, we are to judge the truth of the matter on the witness of two or more. Hence the need for twelve disciples, yet as witnesses where two or more agree on events they were there to witness, they seldom agree. On somethings they do not agree at all. However, the discrediting of the New Testament in not my purpose in writing this document.<\/p>\n
–Sample of controversy in the New Testament, listed below.<\/p>\n
{ (Acts 21:18) And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
\n(Acts 21:19) And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
\n(Acts 21:20) And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord,and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law: (Acts 21:21) And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise.<\/p>\n
{Circumcision<\/p>\n
[Genesis 17:7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and thee and circumcise thy seed after thee throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee.) this is a contract, covenant with
\nGOD and HIS People, and circumcise is a reminder of that contact.] their children, neither to walk after the customs. }
\n–These texts from the New Testament, are in direct opposition to the Written Torah, which declares that the laws and rules we are to follow are written by Moses, as in:
\nDeuteronomy 30:(10 if thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this book of the law; if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.)
\nIn the Written Torah we are expected to do by our Creator(G-D) to get complete peace on earth for all among other things.
\nQur\u2019an:<\/p>\n
Muslims believe that the Qur\u2019an was repeatedly revealed from Allah to Muhammad verbally through the angel Jibr\u012bl (Gabriel) over a period of approximately twenty-three years, beginning in 610 CE, when he was forty, and concluding in 632 CE, the year of his death.
\nPut simply, a recreation of Genesis and the relationship with Abraham. Written Sometime after 610 CE, and re-writes to the text of the Tanakh(Old Testament) and the New Testament in order declare the need to convert everyone to their point of view, by personal acceptance or by sword. By doing this, it is a direct assault on the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But it also fulfills the prophecy regarding Ishmael, Son of Abraham and Hagar, in Genesis 16.

4 Replace G-D\u2019s Word<\/p>\n
————————————————————-<\/p>\n
4.1 Re-interpret the meaning of G-D\u2019s Word. All three do that. It seems that in general, each feels that it has no consequences to them if them just take the power, after all, at some point it stopped being about what GOD wants and expects. It seems to me that they have forgotten the KING OF THE UNIVERSE, the GOD Most High, the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth.
\nThe GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob declared challenges:<\/p>\n
Isaiah 44:
\n6) Thus saith the LORD, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer the LORD of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last, and beside Me there is no God.
\n7) And who, as I, can proclaim–let him declare it, and set it in order for Me–since I appointed the ancient people? And the things that are coming, and that shall come to pass, let them declare.
\n8) Fear ye not, neither be afraid; have I not announced unto thee of old, and declared it? And ye are My witnesses. Is there a God beside Me? Yea, there is no Rock; I know not any.<\/p>\n
Isaiah 45:
\n9) Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
\nIsaiah 41:
\n21) Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your reasons, saith the King of Jacob.
\n22) Let them bring them forth, and declare unto us the things that shall happen; the former things, what are they? Declare ye, that we may consider, and know the end of them; or announce to us things to come.
\n23) Declare the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods; yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
\n24) Behold, ye are nothing, and your work a thing of nought; an abomination is he that chooseth you.
\nI can show you the way, if you want to know.<\/p>\n
IT is to our benefit to HEARKEN until the LIVING GOD OF ISRAEL, and to our pain and shame to do otherwise.<\/p>\n
My prayer is that The LORD grant you eyes that see, ears that hear and an understanding heart, then you return unto HIM soon!(Isaiah 6:\u00a09\u00a0And He said: \u2018Go, and tell this people: hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.\u00a010\u00a0Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they, seeing with their eyes, and hearing with their ears, and understanding with their heart, return, and be healed.\u2019)<\/p>\n
