Islam - Fact versus Fiction
New book published yesterday
Another textbook for Apostolic Theological Seminary
The book includes some of my class notes when I was earning a Master of Arts in Islamic Studies at the Islamic Institute of the Holy Kor'an.
They knew I am American and Christian; they didn't know I am Jewish.

Worship Divine Jesus

Jesus is both G-d and man. He is 100% G-d. He is 100% man.

I may understand the issues of Judaism and Islam in not wanting to worship Jesus, a man as G-d. I have studied the theologies of both, being a Jew and studying at an Islamic Institute.

One must look at all the Scriptures not just the ones that support your pet theology.

“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” Numbers 23:19 (To me, this is simply teaching that G-d is not a liar like man.)

“And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.” 1 Samuel 15:29

“Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,” Deuteronomy 4:16 (Jesus is not a graven image. No Christian should be making images of Jesus!)

G-d in flesh or in the form of a man in the Tanach - Old Covenant:

"And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;" Genesis 18:1 KJV
Gen 18:1 "And Jehovah appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre. And he was sitting at the door of the tent in the heat of the day." Jay Green's Literal Translation

Judaism teaches that in Genesis 18 three angels came to visit Abraham shortly after his circumcision. Is this visit months after his circumcision? Would Abraham 'run' after his recent circumcision, Genesis 18:2? This is G-d in flesh or human form visiting Abraham according to these Scriptures.

"And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness." Exodus 24:10

"And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen." Exodus 33:23

"And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them." Exodus 6:3

"And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left." 1 Kings 22:19

Tanach - Old Covenant
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6

"Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:" Jeremiah 31:31

PS. A perversion of the teaching of G-d is the trinity. It is taught by Roman Catholics thus Protestants. The Biblical reality is that G-d manifests Himself in at least 3 ways. Jehovah is G-d's name in the Tanach. His new revealed name is Jesus.
