Moslems and Jews have it right, Raymond!

There's only ONE God. Moslems call Him Allah, Jews won't say His name. Christendom repudiates Him and rips his name from their translations,
meanwhile practicing polytheism, worshipping a non-existent trinity derived from pagan triads:

Egyptian Osiris, Isis and Horus
Hindu Brahma, Siva and Vishnu
Babylonian Nimrod, Ninus and Samarimas ... and others

Please don't take offence so easily, I was not insulting you or Islam. I just don't agree that the God of the Hebrews or Islam is the same as the trinity. You might re-read my post. What do you think of this definition from the Catholic Encyclopedia?

"God, who is ONE and unique in his infinite nature IS THREE really distinct persons; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Father is God, the Son is God and the Holy Spirit is God ... inscrutable mystery"

Absolute self-contradiction! You're to believe and suspend all intellectual critique. During the middle ages, and since, countless Jews were slaughtered, going to death reciting the shema, adamantly denying a trinity. Read THE POPE AND THE JEWS IN THE MIDDLE AGES.

Correctly Moslems have called trinitarians infidels, an apt term for crusaders brandishing idols, praying to saints, worshipping a mystery, staining the earth with the blood of millions be they women or children. Christendom's history is written in blood, yet they claim to serve "the Prince of Peace".

Later Mary was elevated to Queen of Heaven, whom the present pope emphasizes. The harvest is a vast exodus of thinking people,in
England fewer than 6% attend church.

What worship and service this one God requires is another discussion.

Peace, Raymond!
