The Quest for Truth: A Comparative Study of Abrahamic Faiths


 In my previous post, I shared my personal journey away from Christianity. As I continue to explore different perspectives and beliefs, I find myself drawn to the question of truth in the context of the world's major religions. Among these, the Three Abrahamic faiths - Christianity, Judaism, and Islam - hold a significant place in the lives of millions. Each of these religions references the Bible in various ways, but the question remains: who is the most high God?

Christianity, with its roots in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ supposedly, holds that God is the most high God and the savior of humanity. Jesus, considered the Son of God, is believed to have brought salvation and redemption to all who believe in him. The Bible, comprising the Old and New Testaments, serves as the sacred text for Christians, guiding their faith and providing moral and spiritual guidance.

I now know Christianity does not follow the life and teachings of Christ, first, we can read that Jesus never celebrated any of the paganistic holidays that the world today celebrates, not even his so-called birthday, nor Sunday worship. The more you read the more you see that Jesus stated that he "ONLY" came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel and many other references to this fact! So no, Christianity has nothing to do with the life and teachings of Jesus. In fact, the Gods worshipped in Christianity are Greek and Roman pagan Gods embedded by the Roman Catholic church.

Judaism, the oldest of the three Abrahamic faiths, traces its origins back to the covenant between God and Abraham while this is true. Jewish people today are Ashkenanzi who believe in the one true God in the Tanakh, who believe that God revealed Himself to Moses and delivered the Ten Commandments. The Torah, consisting of the first five books of Moses, is the central religious text for Ashkenazi Jews and serves as a guide for their moral and ethical conduct.

We now know the real Jews (Southern kingdom: Judah "Jews", Benjamin, and Levi) went into slavery many times in the Bible, the Ashkenazis were never in slavery at any time in history. We also know while reading the Bible that the real Jews were chased out of Israel by the Grecian/Roman army into Egypt, into Africa during the Jewish-Roman war sometimes called the Great Jewish Revolt in 66 AD - 73 AD. The Ashkenazis were never chased into Africa by Rome or anyone. The Bible says that today the real Jews would be scattered to the four corners of the earth and would be hated by all nations and live in dung hills (THE SLUMS) of the earth, this has never happened to the Ashkenazis.

Islam, founded by the Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century, acknowledges the same God as Christianity and Judaism. Muslims believe in Allah, the Arabic word for God, who is considered the most high and the creator of the universe. The Quran, revealed to Muhammad by Allah, serves as the holy book for Muslims, guiding them in matters of faith, worship, and daily life.

Yet their book the Holy Quran says that the children of Israel are the true prophets, have the power of command (meaning they were given the commandments by God), and are the ones favoured by God above all nations. They also said in the Quran that Jesus was a servant, yet in the very same chapter they reveal that they (Islam) favoured him and that Jesus shall be a sign, and that he came with a clear sign and wisdom, to make clear to the Israelites some of the points - meaning mysteries - Of which they dispute

While these three religions share common roots and reference the Bible, their interpretations and understandings of God differ. The truth, therefore, becomes a matter of belief and faith. Each religion offers its own unique perspective on the nature of God and the path to salvation.

As I embark on this quest for truth, I am reminded of the importance of respect and open-mindedness. It is crucial to approach the study of different religions with a willingness to learn and understand. By exploring the beliefs and teachings of others, we can broaden our own perspectives deepen our understanding of the world around us, and resist the lies told to us consistently until the lie seems like the truth.

Ultimately, the search for truth is up to each of us to explore, question, and seek answers that resonate with our own hearts/minds. Whether we find out the truth about Christianity, Judaism, Islam, or any other religious or philosophical matter, we must search for the truth sincerely, and be diligent in this work and our belief.

As I continue to navigate my own journey away from Christianity, I am humbled by the vastness and diversity of the world's religions. May we all find the courage to explore, question, and seek the truth that resonates within us.

Sheriffs in Polk, Brevard, and Volusia Counties: Promoting Concealed-to-Carry Firearms Licenses, shoot alot!

Image
  In recent news, the sheriffs in Polk, Brevard, and Volusia counties have been encouraging Florida citizens to obtain concealed-to-carry firearms licenses as a means of self-defense against potential criminals and terrorists.  While this suggestion may seem controversial to some, it is important to examine the context and implications of such statements. It is worth noting, however, that the decision to carry a firearm should be made responsibly and in accordance with the law.   While the sheriff's advice was very straightforward, Most African Americans know that the sheriffs weren't addressing our communities and it is crucial to emphasize that the use of firearms should always be within the boundaries of the law.  Instances where the use of force is justified, such as in cases of self-defense, should be thoroughly evaluated. It is essential to follow legal protocols and procedures when faced with a potentially dangerous situation.   It is also important to raise our concerns

Why are African Americans Leaving their jobs?

  In recent years, there has been a concerning trend of job dissatisfaction and high turnover rates among African Americans in the workforce. Despite making up only 13.6% of the U.S. population, a significant portion of our community faces challenges and discrimination in the workplace.  This article aims to explore the factors that contribute to job dissatisfaction among African Americans and shed light on the underlying issues that need to be addressed. One of the primary reasons for job dissatisfaction among African Americans is racism and the lack of transparency in salary and pay discrepancies.  Studies have shown that black employees often earn less than their white counterparts, even when they possess similar qualifications and experience. Companies that are not transparent about salaries or engage in discriminatory practices contribute to a sense of injustice and inequality, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction among African American employees.   Another contributing fact

Our Hospital Visit: A Funny Moment and a Doctor's Advice

Image
     Good morning, readers! Recently, my family and I had a visit to the hospital as my wife was scheduled for a thyroid procedure. However, we were fortunate enough to receive some unexpected advice from her doctor. As it turns out, the procedure wasn't deemed necessary, and the doctor recommended an alternative approach. During the consultation, the doctor explained that based on her experience and observations, the procedure wouldn't provide any additional benefits. Instead, she suggested that my wife should continue with regular sonograms. This advice came as a relief to us, as it meant avoiding an unnecessary procedure and its associated risks. Interestingly, our visit to the hospital took an amusing turn when our autistic son, whom we affectionately call "JJ," claimed to be a doctor. In the midst of the serious discussion, JJ burst into loud laughter and started yelling. His unexpected outburst caught us off guard and brought a smile to our faces. As parents, we
