What does Christmas mean to you ?

        Raja Petra (Pete) makes a bold assertion which seem to put Turkish
Muslims in a good light. In his article 'What does Christmas mean to you'
he points out Muslims who took the lead in protecting Jews when they
were expelled by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella (1492) of Spain.
This puts a dark light on all Christendom for what the Spanish did during
Jewish pogroms. However, an interesting Muslim narrative that tells half
the story.

This is a Wikipedia entry on anti-semitism in Turkey

'In general, the migration of Jews from Western Europe to Ottoman Empire 
was greeted kindly by the authorities. In 1553, Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent 
taking up the opinion of his personal doctor and adviser, Moses Hamon,
 reconfirmed the orders of Mehmed II, which prohibit local courts from 
 adjudicating the cases pertaining to alleged Jewish ritual murder.[15] He also 
successfully counter-measured the intention of Pope Paul IV to succumb the
 Jews of Ancona into the hands of the Inquisition.[16]

However, later the attitude of the authorities towards the Jews deteriorated.
 In 1579 Sultan Murad III reportedly heard that Jewish women wore silk clothes 
decorated with precious stones, and ordered the destruction of all Jews in the 
Empire.[17] Even though the decree was lifted, thanks to Shlomo Ashkenazi, 
the adviser to the Grand Vizier, a special clothing was ordered for Jews to wear. 
In particular, women were forbidden to wear silk, and men have been prescribed 
to wear a special form of hat.[12]

There were a number of known cases of blood libel in the 19th century on the
 territory of the Ottoman Empire: Aleppo (1810), Beirut (1824), Antioch (1826),
 Hama (1829), Tripoli (1834), Jerusalem (1838), Rhodes and Damascus (1840), 
Marmora (1843), Smyrna (1864). The most famous of them were the Rhodes
 and Damascus affairs, both in 1840, both of which had major international 
repercussions.'

Alas, Pete's narrative

'Today, the Jews have their own homeland. And many who eventually reached
 Palestine did so through Turkey mainly because they were saved by the Turks 
and did not die in Europe at the hands of the Nazis. To me, this is what Christmas 
is all about. It is about those brave souls, Muslims from Turkey, who stood up to 
the Germans and insisted that any European with a Turkish passport, even Jews, 
was a Turkish national and should be given immunity from the gas chamber.'
 
It seems to me all of Christendom seems to have to take blame when a King and
Queen of Spain decrees an Evil Pogrom, and all of Islam should be showered
with Praise for the Kindness of Suleiman the Magnificent. The most despicable
of characters in the Nazi Regime, Haj Amin Al-Hussein, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem 

conveniently forgotten. His role in forming the SS Handzar Divisions. His role in 
butchering Jews ,and unholy alliance with the Nazis. What was going to happen
to the Jews after the Arabs got their independence from the West, promised by 

Hitler's regime. Only the narrative that Arab Turks exemplifies what Christmas is 
about.


That's the problem with one-sided narratives. Bend Truth however one likes.
I suppose it justifies Anti-Semitism today. Simply, the narrative that Muslims 
were benevolent and kind to Jews. In turn, Jews betrayed their kindness in Israel ,
and Gaza. Keep on painting Half-Truths or should i say Half-Lies

Born of a Virgin ?

    
Preface, MB possess an interesting Delima according to the picture below




Don Tan Matthews Chronological account (Matthew 1) ? Often argued 
unacceptable because the genealogy runs through the fathers side, 
not mothers side. The seed of the blood line according to Matthew. 
He traces back to Abraham. Mary herself, is a Jew... Why do you 
assume that HaShem will use a human seed to represent Messiah. 
Rather, he used David's bloodline to send the Messiah. I asked what 
was the nature of the Messiah. Isaiah 53 calls him ' Yurezowa YHWH' 
i.e. YHWH's ARM !!! Whose seed should it come from... ?

Is Yahweh One of Three ?

                 It is often argued that ONE and THREE cannot be the same. 
Christianity is Illogical, because HaShem (The LORD), has to exist in the 
paradigm of human logic. HaShem cannot exist in different forms. This is 
where i disagree based on my own observations. You cannot put HaShem 
into the sandbox of the human mind. Here's why? Assuming that 
ONE plus ONE plus ONE must be THREE. Assumes that in the physical 
plain 3 objects can't become 1 object. Are we talking about 3 different 
physical objects when Christians refer to the LORD. So if human beings 
have a physical body, and a soul. Then it is illogical for humans to have two 
natures by the definition of this Muslim brother below. How can multiple 
frequencies exist in a communications cable ? If it exist in one cable ? Can 
the definition of ONE of ONE of ONE multiplexing be illogical. Then one 
should stop using their cell-phone, internet, tv etc, etc, etc. Faulty logic is 
faulty logic......

It is just not possible to believe that God is one but three person.
Exodus 20:3-"You shall have no other gods before me."
Exodus 34:14-"Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose 

name is Jealous, is a jealous God"
Isaiah 45:5-"I am the LORD; there is no other God."
Mark 12:29 -"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 

'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one."
Hebrews 5:7-"While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and 

pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the one who could rescue him from 
death. And God heard his prayers because of his deep reverence for God."
Luke 18:19-"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good-

-except God alone"
John 8:40 "As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me, a man who has told 

you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things."

It is just not possible to believe in these verses and in the trinity at the same 

time. Jesus was crying loudly and prayed to God and asked God for help 
(hebrews 5:7) yetchristians these days ask Jesus for help. It's very weird. 
How can God cry and ask himself for help. But then you say "no he asked 
the father, they are two different people"yet you say that God is one? You 
can't be ONE and THREE at the same time.
 1 (Father) + 1(Jesus) + 1(Holy spirit) = 3. They can never be 1. Such 
contradictions.

Mark 12:29  Shema Israel, Adonai, Elohinu, Adonai,  Echad

Elohinu is a plural definition of Yod Hei Vav Hei (YHWH)

He has a spirit, the Ruah Hakodesh (Roh Kudus)
He sends a Messiac ( Al-Masih)

What is the nature of the Messiac. Isaiah 53. Elohim calls him 

' Yurezowa Yahweh'
'His Arm' !!!

One may argue that Jesus is not God, but, for sure GOD has a Spirit.
Christians and Jews believe soo. Muslims may argue that 'Roh Kudus'
means something else, however, the term was defined hundreds of years
before the Advent of Islam. See Codex Arabicus  8AD (Arabic Tanakh)

Direct from the Hebrew Tanakh ,and Holy Quran

Is it a contradiction, or does your paradigm, tell you, that it is wrong 

because you read it somewhere ....? Prove it, yourself, that it is wrong.....
