Moses

The ONLY prophet who conversed with G~od DIRECTLY, Moses our teacher, Moshe Rabbenu, the humblest, most selfless human being, who ever walked the Earth. Gave up a life of luxury at the age of 80, to bring a nation of opressed slaves back to G-od's Presence, to Sinai.

Neither Christian testment nor Muslim quran dare to state that Jzs or Muhamed ever received a direct personal contact with the Creator. the most quran dares to say is that muhamed spoke with 'Gibril', never direct with Allah (sura 2:97).

The most christian testment dares to say was that an ''echo'' was ''well pleased'' with Jzs...

Only Moshe merits the burning bush, the staff turning into snake, forty years of G-od's Presence among Israel, with manna, pillar of fire, splitting of the sea, the ten plagues, the water from the rock, the quail, the Decalogue - public NATIONAL revelation of L'ords Presence...

May our teacher's name continue to guide and inspire us to follow G-od's path!  Moshe ben Yocheved v' Amram, blessed be your memory!

Abraham's Covenant - not with Ishmael

Does Abraham's covenant include Ishmael?

According to Torah, muslims are NOT considered part of Abraham's spiritual covenant. Ishmael is BLESSED, yet the covenant is through Isaac, Sarah's son. The covenant consists of Abraham's commandment of CIRCUMCISION- which quran does NOT command on muslims.

Abrahams covenant: (Genesis.17:)
9 God said to Abraham, “As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants in every generation. 10 This is my covenant that you and your descendants must keep: Circumcise every male. 11 You must circumcise the flesh of your foreskins, and it will be a symbol of the covenant between us. 12 On the eighth day after birth, every male in every generation must be circumcised, including those who are not your own children: those born in your household and those purchased with silver from foreigners. 13 Be sure you circumcise those born in your household and those purchased with your silver. Your flesh will embody my covenant as an enduring covenant. 14 Any uncircumcised male whose flesh of his foreskin remains uncircumcised will be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant.”
15 God said to Abraham, “As for your wife Sarai, you will no longer call her Sarai. Her name will now be Sarah. 16 I will bless her and even give you a son from her. I will bless her so that she will become nations, and kings of peoples will come from her.”
17 Abraham fell on his face and laughed. He said to himself, Can a 100-year-old man become a father, or Sarah, a 90-year-old woman, have a child? 18 To God Abraham said, “If only you would accept Ishmael!”
19 But God said, “No, your wife Sarah will give birth to a son for you, and you will name him Isaac. I will set up my covenant with him and with his descendants after him as an enduring covenant. 20 As for Ishmael, I’ve heard your request. I will bless him and make him fertile and give him many, many descendants. He will be the ancestor of twelve tribal leaders, and I will make a great nation of him. 21 But I will set up my covenant with Isaac, who will be born to Sarah at this time next year.” 22 When God finished speaking to him, God ascended, leaving Abraham alone.'
''Gen.17:

IMPROVING GD's perfection?

Both xtianity and islam claim that they supposedly came to 'improve' (or 'correct') Go'd's revelation at Sinai!!!

That in itself is hubris and blasphemy:
If we are truly submitted to Go'd's will, we'd ACCEPT his revelation.

but the nations turned it into a factional political issue:
-xtians claim that a relationship with Go'd is 'impossible' unless it is thru Jzs ...
-muslems claim that a relationship with Go'd is impossible unless it is thru Mohamad...

Both religions tried to conquer the world, supposedly in the name of Go'd, but really in the name of their 'agent'.

muslems and xtians keep accusing each other of idol worship. Both have valid points... both religions have committed genocide in the name of their messiah or prophet. Both religions forgot to put Go'd's will first: peace, respect for life, and unity of humankind.

Both religions call themselves 'peaceful'...even though anyone who knows history of the world will know it is ridiculous, as both islam and xtianity are guilty of global genocide, and world wide acts of violence.

Both xians and muslims have a history of accusing Jews of trying to... take over the world, something which Jews (unlike Xtians and Muslims) were NEVER interested in...

......

curiously, both Xtians and Muslims claim that they 'respect' the Torah, even though muslims perpetuate a baseless canard that torah got 'corrupted', even though xians have exactly the same text of it as jews.

xtians too, claim to 'respect' the torah, but THEIR ridiculous excuse is that their 'messiah' (who hasn't done anything to bring peace, just the opposite) had ''fulfilled'' all the commandments, meant to ennoble and improve humanity...

 According to xians, we don't need anymore improvement bcuz jzs 'died' for our sins and we are indeed living now in 'messianic times'! How depressing is that?

so according to xians, Go'd's torah is... 'obsolete' and 'outdated'!!! 😔 They even have the nerve to call the holy torah 'old' testament, as if it had an expiration date...

Muslims are prone to use the same tactic, claiming that THEIR prophet had brought the 'perfected' version of Gd's law.

How blasphemous and arrogant.
