St Paul and the gods

29 th July 2020 Verse 6b continued Now we need to look at this verse from a Christian faith point of view.   We move away from Islam here and there is no way of bridging the gap as Tawhid prohibits this.   For the Christian Believer it is of great importance.   As we said earlier Paul pointed out that all the gods were not gods.   For the Christian there is only one God revealed in the three Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. “…we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.”   If there are any mistakes in what I say they will be all mine but I have to say these words are seriously important.   So before commenting more I want to go through each section so that we are crystal clear on what they mean.   I have broken the verse into 5 sections (A B C D E )so that you can follow my argument. My Translation Section A = Yet for us there is One God the Father out of Whom are all things. ἀλλ’ ἡμῖν εἷς θεὸς ὁ πατήρ, ἐξ οὗ

Heresy of the Miriamists

28 th July 2020 So, from looking at the evidence, the Koran is correct in the formulation that there was a heretical religious group that claimed to be Christians and they did make Mary out to be a god.   The problem here is that this was localized and did not actually speak about the universal Trinitarian point of view.   Even so looking at verse 116 in the Koran God is asking a question.   It is the ulema that have given this interpretation of the Trinity.   I did some research and these wiki’s page is helpful; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collyridianism https://www.catholic.com/magazine/print-edition/collyridianism   This is the end of our excursion into The Trinity.   We have looked at one germ root for the Trinity in St Paul.   We also looked at the Koran (In English) We learned that; 1.      There were people in the Middle East that worshiped Mary as a goddess 2.      The Islamic response was to question this worship. 3.      The Koran doesn’t claim 100%

Where is the idea of the Trinity being God, Mary and Jesus come from. (This is in contradition to teachings on the Trinity.

25 th July 2020 Actually, in the above video we find at least 6 different versions.     This should not be a problem for the Ulema, but they have to be honest about looking at the Koran and to stop the use of propaganda.    The Trinity and Tawhid from the point of View of Kosmades. Kosmades gives a Quranic verse; Surah 5: 116 “Sahih International And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen.” From; https://quran.com/5/116-120?translations=20 Here God is questioning Jesus and Mary about the claim that they are divinities. Therefore, Muslims claim that Christians believe in God, Jesus and Mary and that t
