Who is the ONE who is in control from beginning to end? Who is the ONE whose Plan far outstrips others and takes them unawares? Who is the ONE who punishes without blame and with impunity but with TOTAL FAIRNESS and EQUITY though the disbelievers would deny it? Who is the ONE whose AUTHORITY cannot be questioned and Who is the ONE who reigns SUPREME with TOTAL AND ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY?
The answer is ALLAH, of course! We don’t dictate to ALLAH but rather HE dictates to us!
The Jews were made the flagship of the Monotheistic Way and were given ample knowledge and abundant prophets to keep their ‘train’ on the tracks headed towards salvation. But most of them decided to run off the rails and strike out on their own adventuresome self-made ways and woe to any prophet that would impede their earthly progress (as to what they thought they were making for themselves).
And he said, “I have been very zealous for the LORD GOD of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken YOUR Covenant, torn down YOUR altars, and killed YOUR prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.” 1Kings (19:14)
For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore unto their fathers, that flows with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke ME, AND BREAK MY COVENANT. Deuteronomy (31:20)
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.” Matthew (23:27)
“Woe to you {Jews}! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.” Luke (11:44)
Well in this causal universe of ours – for GOD shall not be mocked in that whatever a man sows that shall he eventually reap (Galatians (6:7) – every action requires a reaction (showing how wonderfully nit this universe is and how well it is put together) that the soiled souls of men must be given a chance to right their wrongs (if they so chose to do it) and with ‘contrite heart’ showing contrition to be allowed to enter into eventual GLORY as was promised from before. Quran (33:72)!
The sacrifices of GOD are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart— These, O GOD, YOU will not despise. Psalm (51:17)
The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; HE saves the contrite in spirit. Psalm (34:18)
Bring your confessions and return to the LORD. Say to HIM: “Take away all our iniquity and receive us graciously, that we may present the fruit of our lips. Hosea (14:2)
So rend your hearts and not your garments, and return to the LORD your GOD. For HE is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion. And HE relents from sending disaster. Joel (2:13)
Or man can say; “to hell with it” and just cruise on to their own fantasy beliefs – which are basically self-aggrandizement (self-glorification – first for the self and if there is anything left over then maybe a smidgen for GOD!) and, of course, self-centeredness.
Hence, when the notion of ALLAH’s hands being tied up as it being HIS fault to have chosen the Jews in the first place and therefore with HIM being the ABSOLUTE TRUTH, then HE is the ONE who allowed HIMSELF to be outfoxed and out maneuvered by those proclaiming salvation for only themselves with the added bonus that GOD got painted in a corner and must submit to the cleverness of man’s logic!
The Jews say: “ALLAH’s hand is tied up.” Be their hands tied up and be they accursed for the (blasphemy) they utter. Nay, both HIS hands are widely outstretched: HE gives and spends (of HIS bounty) as HE pleases. But the revelation that comes to you from ALLAH increases in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. Amongst them we have placed enmity and hatred till the Day of Judgment. Every time they kindle the fire of war, ALLAH does extinguish it; but they (ever) strive to do mischief on earth. And ALLAH does not love those who do mischief. Quran (5:64)
That is INSANE!
Because ALLAH is LORD of time, space and condition right down to the last iota, HE organized the gathering of souls and the fruits of their labors to undergo the horrors that they would encounter. Since all things are under ALLAH’s DOMINION, HE put the souls under the right circumstances and temperament to receive chastisement for their excesses!
This is done to liberate those who truly desired to seek out repentance! So the actions of ALLAH are NOT CRUEL but the challenge that man originally took MUST BE FULFILLED Quran (33:71-73)!!!
That HE may make your conduct whole and sound and forgive you your sins: HE that obeys ALLAH and HIS Messenger, has already attained the highest achievement.
WE did indeed offer the Trust to the Heavens and the Earth and the Mountains; but they refused to undertake it, being afraid thereof: but man undertook it; He was indeed unjust and foolish {to himself};
(With the result) that ALLAH has to punish the Hypocrites, men and women, and the Unbelievers, men and women, and ALLAH turns in MERCY to the Believers, men and women: for ALLAH is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. Quran (33:71-73)
Hence, the ravenous wolf (Paul) was ‘manufactured’ to be that one who would bring about those horrors that should have provided learning to those who voluntarily undertook the journey and then acted accordingly.
But glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, first for the Jew, then for the Greek {Gentile}.
For GOD does NOT show favoritism.
All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.… Romans (2:10-12); written by Paul
WHO {GOD} is not partial to princes and does not favor rich over poor? For they are all the work of HIS hands. Job (34:19)
What then shall we say? Is GOD unjust? CERTAINLY NOT! Romans (9:14) – Paul
Then Peter began to speak: “I now truly understand that GOD does NOT show favoritism, Acts (10:34)
So Paul having been born at the perfect time, having had the perfect training as a Jew for what he was to do, having that Greek philosophical bent that he liked to use provided a medium for other souls to twist and massacre the message as time went by.
Since ALLAH is not a respecter of persons, places or things, HE uses these things for HIS purposes otherwise where is the planning?
And the unbelievers plotted and planned and ALLAH too planned and the best of planners is ALLAH Quran (3:54)
Fighting {in ALLAH’s WAY by sword or other means} is prescribed for you, and you dislike it. But it is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and that you love a thing which is bad for you. But ALLAH knows, and you don’t know {the result}. Quran (2:216)
O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, ALLAH is with the patient. Quran (2:153)
If some of the Jews were willing to get back on track and take a lesson, they would have to attain salvation through suffering and humbling themselves and not by insulting GOD. This does not in any way absolve evil or evil souls as they too are building a track record for Judgment.
And ALLAH uses the evil against itself for evil cannot overcome the DYNAMICS OF THE GODHEAD NO MATTER HOW FEEBLE IS THEIR ATTEMPT!
So, when the corruption seeped in (using Paul as a so-called maker of Christianity), and the Christians became the dominant force in the Constantine era onwards, the fate of the Jews was sealed. The Jews being now looked on as ‘killers of the savior-god’ became objects of scorn and hate. Therefore they were ostracized in many ways and taunted and tormented as ‘Christ-killers’.
Then it became fashionable to mistrust and think evil of the Jew as he/she was the rejecter of Christendom’s self-appointed god and savior. Later on, this would lead to the murder and torture of countless men and women under the most brutal of times offering up to fellow Satans, amongst humans, the ‘final solution’.
So, Paul was that ‘wolf’ who became the ravager not due to his faulty beliefs but due to the peoples’ misunderstanding and what the results would be of that misunderstanding.
That understanding now makes sense when we take into consideration that both David and Jesus (peace be upon them) in their exalted positons as Jews in front of GOD, called upon GOD to curse those people due to their intransigence:
Curses were pronounced on those among the Children of Israel who rejected Faith, by the tongue of David and of Jesus the son of Mary: because they disobeyed and persisted in excesses. Quran (5:78)
So, Paul becomes that snowball from hell that is rolling down a hill where the Jewish people are staying in a nice Swiss Chalet (HIS Covenant). Over time the snowball grows larger than a Brontosaurus and comes upon the Swiss Chalet (the Jewish peoples) and splinters it into a thousand pieces (their torments and tortures by Western lands).
Hence, by the Christian misunderstanding of Paul, he now becomes the one who sets the stage for Jewish humiliation as being known as a stiff necked peoples.
So-called ‘Paul’s way’ eventually led to the Jewish people being ravished by people adopting a church led philosophy as history has shown!
However, Paul was and is classified as a true believer in Christ Jesus (pbh) as he did not declare that Jesus (pbh) was more than a man or that he was crucified on an actual wooden ‘stake’ as my writings have proven. Though philosophically and symbolically Paul preached Jesus as ‘crucified in the flesh’ as to being that leader of mankind in the flesh as he took on that responsibility in the beginning that he was originally a part of – Quran (3:59); Hebrews (5:7)!
Thus ALLAH allowed him (the Christ-soul) to right those wrongs, first for himself and then through example for others, as is explained in Hebrews (written by Barnabas) in the New Testament, such that he eventually became that Messiah we call Jesus (pbh)!
Paul’s biggest fault was his approach or method of explanation which allowed the ‘mischief makers’ to eventually take his philosophy and twist it into making Jesus (pbh) more than a human prophet in their own woe begotten minds !
Even so, he still becomes that ravaging wolf, that tool used by ALLAH, from the tribe of Benjamin that will ravage the sheep or those people or flock called Jews due to the understanding of Quran (5:78).
Either that or something strange is afoot. If Paul was a traitor to the truth, he would have been put out by a massive attack from the believers on all sides with instructions from Jerusalem (before the destruction of the Temple) to take him out by engaging and constantly haranguing him after 51 or so CE. That did not happen!
Furthermore, his companions such as Silas, Timothy, Titus, Luke, and Barnabas would, unless they were a part of the so-called great conspiracy, be sanctioned to confront him face to face in a cursing match (GOD’s curse on the one who lies). That did not happen.
In addition to this, a cancer amongst the flock cannot go unnoticed and would not have been tolerated. His 3 or so visits to Jerusalem would not be ‘looked forward to’ with any kind of tolerance. But we have nothing to show any puzzling developments except what some people have surmised in their own heads.
Now we can compare this bunch of believers with the Muslim contingent during the Caliphate of the first 4 righteous Caliphs which lasted more than 3 decades. Not all things went 100% smoothly without the proverbial hitch either. But people just didn’t turn away and ignore the problematic situations causing some consternation. Refer to Sheik Yasir Qadhi’s lectures on the development of the election process deciding who should be Caliph.
After the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE, which would be about 5 or 4 years after Paul’s death, then things started to go south for the group of believers as told by the presbyter John in his letters admitting that ‘groups’ of students in their ‘study circle’ went out from the main body to allegedly broadcast lies and deceits. This in all probability happened somewhere around 80 plus CE and those people are given the anti-christ label.
The most definitive proof, however, comes from the Book of Revelation, which was written sometime in the 90’s CE. This book contains information concerning various ‘churches’ that were not unfamiliar with Pauline ‘doctrine’ and, one can say ‘practiced such’ after his death but still remained serviceable.
These discussions, happening a few decades after Paul’s death, do not indicate an individual church system going completely against the faith. But like normal occurrences with human beings, as can be found with Islamic early startups, there were some problems that were given so as the ‘church body’ could clean up its act and get back to a normalcy of true worship as would be shown between faithful brothers and sisters in faith.
Either that or Quran (2:62) found below is defective and not eternal in truth as the Quran is supposed to be:
Those who believe (in the Quran) and {also} those who follow {in earnest and NOT for show but in TRUTH} the Jewish (scriptures) and the Christians {who had to have some scripture to read} and the Sabians {and} any who believe in ALLAH and the Last Day and work righteousness shall have their reward with their LORD {and} on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. Quran (2:62)
O Turner of the hearts! Keep my heart firm on YOUR DEEN!
