I am proud to be a Muslim. But, I was recruted at the end of my life (71) with death at my heals. Three times in the last year, I was I was told by my doctors, that I would not recover. But, here I am. I was recruted in these last times by an honest for real angel. I am told by my friends that it is impossable for a man to see an angel. They have papers from the scholars to prove that it is impossible for them to be seen. Their proofs are just a little short of amazing. One claims that I would be totally consumed by the seeing. Another, says that they simply can not be seen because angels are of such refined material that the would be nebulous at best. But, I did see one who struck me with such awe that he elicited the Shahada from my lips. I did not know what the Shahada was until after it was explained to me by a Christian missionary called by God to minister to Islam.

I am mad and I know it. But, I find great joy in my love of Allah. I am told by my friends that I must fear Allah. But they do not understand the incredible joy.Do you remember how Hafiz died? He was murdered by his embarrassed teacher with a cup of poisoned wine. Hafiz had finally found the girl with a mole on her cheek.(Allah), and his joy was so great that he lost touch with the real world. He began to believe and tell others that he was Jesus Christ. I understand that joy, but others did not. He was a heritic at best, a blasphemer at the worst. But what he claimed was the Joy of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was the best of the prophets, Muhammad believed. One reason he was the best, was that he carried the Ruh of Allah with him for three years. Imagine the Ruh of Allah blowing through his soul for three years. There was never such a man as he, either before or since.

He never claimed to be God. He denied it many times. Others would profess that he did so claim. He claimed to be the Son of God as were prophets of old, like Isaac, or David the harpist. It was told the in the times of Noah that the Sons of God came down from the mountain and marry the daughters of men. Huh? Who were the Sons of God? Holy men, prophets. sent by Allah to teach, but not to be intoxicated by their music and dance. But, still they were Sons of God. Jesus became such as the Ruh of Allah came gently upon his as a dove, and a voive was heard from the heavens saying, “Thou art my beloved Son, this day have I begotten thee.” No it was not about a little 12 year old girl inseminated by Allah, he fathered himself. The followers of Jesus refused to believe that impossible story, yet their are those that do. They would believe that the Moon was made of chicken soup jf it was said by that old apostate, Paul.

I would love to tell you the whole story, easy to believe if you know the true facts. A part of Allah (how can there be a part of a Holy Wind?) come down upon a true Tsadik and be with him until he was hanging upon that tree, a dispised and hated man. Even his loved friend denied that he even knew him. And while hanging there naked, and mocked. The Ruh of Allah left him and that man of God cried out, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” That man of God could not bare the pain, and died. The echo of his mighty cry, rings through the millenia into my grief stricken ears. He was the Lamb of God, prepared to pay for the sins of those who followed his way. That was what the prophet Isaiah taught. (chapter 53) He would be just a servant, and certainly not God. The thought of Almighty God, fathering himself upon an innocent 12 year old girl, boggles the mind.

Yeah? What do I know?

I am a Muslim but. . .

It is amazing to me that we find defects in the Quran and just shut our eyes. Those of us who notice such things and forget, also notice but forget not these same things about the Bible. There are unforgivable horrors done by God in the Bible. (if the Bible were even a little bit true). But our honor is challenged when an eyebrow ts raised about a ticklish point in the quran. IT IS BLASPHEMY TO challange the honor of God or Honor.of Allah. Those of us that who cry Allah achbar as they cut their brother’s heads off, are the true blasphemers. Doing their own little horror show and yelling that Allah is great, upon the misunderstanding of some evil deed done in the Quran.

But guess what?It does not matter what the Quran has to say. The Quran was not authored by Allah, but by Gabriel. Maybe Gabriel had good intentions and maybe not. Muhammad was the Prophet of Allah and those things given to Muhammad by Allah were done in secret and to Muhammad in confidence. To be kept sacred and not to be shared openly. In fact, he only shared those sacred parts to two persons, Abu Bakr and ‘Ali. And, they took those sacred things and kept them sacred as was expected of them. In fact it was about 200 years after the death of Muhammad, before some began to suspect that they even existed. They were sacred. They were not discussed with others.

Paul and Galatians

Paul and Galatians

Paul’s letter to the Galatians, cements his authority as an “Apostle”. This and Romans are his most important letters. They identify him as an authority over acceptable (orthodox ?) Christian doctrine. Perhaps they even define what is Christian. These and two others, are the only letters undeniably Paul’s.

What do you think of Galatians? Is it a freedom document as Protestant readers claim, or a betrayal document? Or is it a demonstration of mental illness? Perhaps it is a defense of mental illness?

1) Paul suggests that the only reason for Christ’s appointing apostles, is to give Paul an opportunity to dismiss them. What was the point of Jesus’ appointment of the Apostles? If Paul’s new vision was the correct one.

2) Paul confuses an Abrahamic covenant with the process of Grace. But, being circumcised has nothing to do with either baptism or spiritual rebirth. It has to do with a covenant with Abraham. Do we consider ourselves Sons of Abraham (or Israel) or not? The Gospel applies to all (Paul is right). But, keeping your Abrahamic covenant does not keep you from being received (or rejected) in the Grace of Christ. (Paul is wrong.) In fact, Paul’s argument is just plain silly, and is a little bullyish.

3) Paul teaches that we can do away with established Church government, if we can imagine an angel giving us special authority from God. (You cannot even imagine how many times I have witnessed this very thing.) I should not have to tell you of the hundreds of men claiming special appointments from angels or God (Joseph being one such), revealing special overriding authority. Why go with Paul? It is tradition only, that we accept Paul as an authority. Paul promotes ecstatic experiences over scripture. Isn’t Paul’s experience and subsequent obsession a sign of mental illness? Isn’t Paul encouraging others’ to leap off the deep end also?

4)Wasn’t Paul the hypocrite in his telling them not to criticize his view, especially in the light of his severe criticisms of the Jerusalem Church? Paul jealously guards HIS converts from apostolic overview. Then ridicules his flock for their being sucked in by them. Then, he has the gall to tell them that if they do become circumcised, they are no longer worthy of Christ’s Grace. Paul is petty while warning against pettiness.

5) Paul condemns bragging, yet his letter is one big brag.

6) Is Paul really claiming to having stigmata (closing verses) as proof of his authority? Some scholars think so.
