The Sacrifice Of Abraham: Isaac or Ishmael?

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

According to the Muslims, the intended son was Ishmael. But the Jews & Christians claim its Isaac. Its very interesting if we read the Bible.

The argument Christians make is that God made the covenant with Isaac and thus the intended son is Isaac.

Let us just agree that it is Isaac. This incident happened when Abraham sent Hagar and Ishmael away, according to the Bible. How old was Ishmael then? The Bible says 16-17 years old and Isaac about 2 years old.

Now, just read the following verses:

Genesis 21
14 Early the next morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar. He set them on her shoulders and then sent her off with the boy. She went on her way and wandered in the desert of Beersheba.
15 When the water in the skin was gone, she put the boy under one of the bushes.
16 Then she went off and sat down nearby, about a bowshot away, for she thought, "I cannot watch the boy die." And as she sat there nearby, she [c] began to sob.
17 God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, "What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there.
18 Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation."

Note the following verses:
15 When the water in the skin was gone, she put the boy under one of the bushes.
16 Then she went off and sat down nearby, about a bowshot away, for she thought, "I cannot watch the boy die."
17 God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, "What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there.
18 Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation."

Do the above verses show Ishmael as a 16-17 years old boy? “God has heard the boy crying as he lies there.” Does it sound like a 16 year old boy?

Muslims claim that this incident happened even before Isaac was born, when Ishmael was a small boy, in fact when he was a baby. Imagine Ishmael as a baby in the above verses and see how it fits like a glove.

You might wander what is the reason for all this. If you read this whole episode in the Bible over and over again, you are sure to find something amiss. Some things just don’t tally.

Read what The Encyclopaedia Judaica says:
In the tale of binding (surah 37:99-110) Muhammad identified the son who was to be sacrificed as Ishmael and, indeed, the opinion of the traditionalists were also divided on this subject. It is related that a renowned traditionalist of Jewish origin, from the Qurayza tribe, and another Jewish scholar, who converted to Islam, told that Caliph Omar Ibn cAbd al-cAzîz (717-20) that the Jews were well informed that Ismail was the one who was bound, but that they concealed this out of jealousy. It also adds details of Hajar (Hagar), the mother of Ismail. After Abraham drove her and her son out, she wandered between the hills of al-Safa and al-Marwa (in the vicinity of Mecca) in search for water. At that time the waters of the spring Zemzem began to flow. Her acts became the basis for the hallowed custom of Muslims during the Hajj.

The testimony of the former Jew as mentioned hadîth literature as quoted in the Encyclopaedia Judaica reads:
Another proof of our speech [i.e., that sacrificed was Ishmael(P)] is reported by Ibn Ishâq: "Muhammad Ibn Ka’b narrated that cUmar Ibn cAbd al-cAzîz sent for a man who had been a jew then converted to Islam and showed signs of true Islam. [Before his conversion], he was one of their scholars [i.e., he was a jewish scholar] So he [i.e., cUmar] asked him: which son did Abraham(P) sacrifice? He replied: ‘It is Ishmael(P). By God, O Commander of the Believers, the Jews know that but they envy you – the Arabs.’

The Oxford Companion To The Bible echoes the same position as the Encyclopaedia Judaica.
In Muslim tradition, the Arabs trace their ancestry back to Abraham through Ishmael. Because Ishmael was circumcised (Gen. 17:25), so are Muslims. And, analogous to Paul’s reversal of the figures of Isaac and Ishmael (Gal. 4:24-26), Muslim tradition makes Ishmael rather than Isaac the son Abraham was commanded to sacrifice.

Its up to you to decide which episode makes more sense because in the common mind "what we think is certainly right and those who think differently are necessarily wrong". But the Truth always Stands Out or does it?
Also how old was Isaac when the intended sacrifice was to take place?

It was Ishmael, not Issac. This is an error in Bible.

In Jeremiah 8:8 God clearly says Bible was written by "into lie"

"How can you say, "We are wish, and the law of the LORD with us? But, behold, the false pen of scribes has made it into a lie" [From the RSV, jeremiah 8:8]

Jews falsely added there Issac name. Its actually Ishmael. Even a Rabbi that Abraham Sacrificed Ishmael, not Issac

A Rabbi proved that it was Ishmael and Bible is wrong

Proof that the Bible is Wrong and that Ismail, not Isaac, was to be sacrificed by Abraham. Please click http://www.anusha.com/isaac.htm

…….

"..And (Sarah) gave her (Hager) to her husband Abram TO BE HIS WIFE"[Genesis 16:3]

your bible have "wife"

"And Abraham took Ishmael his Son.."[Genesis 17:23]

The name Ishmael was also chosen by God Himself.

"And the Angel of the Lord said unto Hagar: "Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his NAME ISHMAEL, because the Lord heard thy affliction"[Genesis 16:11]

In hebrew Ishmael means "God hears"

Abraham prayed to God for a son and God gave him Ishmail.

God heard what?

The prayer of Abraham…

"AND AS FOR ISHMAEL, I HAVE HEARD YOU: I WILL SURELY BLESS HIM; I WILL MAKE HIM FRUITFUL AND WILL GREATLY INCREASE HIS NUMBERS. HE WILL BE THE FATHER OF TWELVE RULERS, AND I WILL MAKE HIM into A GREAT NATION"[Genesis, 17:20]

Here God have a clear promise about the "Great Nation" of Ishmael from his descendents..

Note: Ishmael Nation was Arab


Hitler’s sister was a manger of a Jewish Mensa club. Yet another Jewish connection for Hitler. Does it matter?

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

C&P from 1944 US government report on Hitler:
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/31/science/31hitler.html
http://ftp.nizkor.org/hweb/people/h/hitler-adolf/oss-papers/text/oss-profile-04-02.html

Angela Hitler: "She is an elder half-sister of Adolph… During her childhood she became very fond of Adolph despite the fact that she had the feeling that his mother was spoiling him. She is the only one of the family with whom Adolph has had any contact in later years and the only living relative Hitler ever mentioned (in Mein Kampf)…. She then went to Vienna where, after the war, she was MANAGER OF THE MENSA ACADEMICA Judaica. Some of our informants knew her during this time and report that in the student riots Angela defended the jewish students from attack, and on several occasions beat the Aryan students off the steps of the dining hall with a club."
Yes it does matter, I have a BIG issue with the lies which are accepted as 20th century history.
SN – This is getting funny, Hitler’s favourite sibling was Jewish, there is huge amount of evidence to suggest he was. But, regardless he went on to "try and kill all the jews" and you don’t have the slightest issue with any of it.
John – If the holocaust happened, it was caused by a Jew. Do you not think that’s and issue?

Nope…not really. I have several churches that are clients myself.

Added: Why is it that when I bother to check you are always full of crap. The only sister he had that survived to adulthood was named Paula.

Why do Christians worship ‘Lord’?

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

The Encyclopedia Judaica, Volume 7, pages 674 through 679 gives us the pagan Canaanite names of the GODS the Children of Israyl were deceived into replacing for the NAME OF YAHWEH. The `E’-Elohist writers used these PAGAN titles as opposed to the True Worship of Yahweh!

Specifically, page 679 tells us the following,

‘Adonai. The Hebrew word ‘adon is correctly rendered in English as "lord.” In the Bible it is often used in reference to any human being who had authority, such as the ruler of a country (Gen. 42:30), the master of a slave (Gen. 24:96), and the husband of a wife (Gen. 18:12). In formal polite style a man, not necessarily a superior, was addressed as "my lord” (’adoni; e.g., Gen. 23:6, 15; 24:18); and several men could be addressed as "my lords” (’adonai; e.g., Gen. 19:2). Since God is "Lord ['adon] of all the earth” (Josh. 3:11), He is addressed and spoken of as "my Lord”__in Hebrew, ‘Adonai (literally, “my Lords, ” in the plural in keeping with the plural form, ‘Elohim, and always with the “pausal” form of a long a- at the end). Originally, "’adonai,” especially in the combined form "’adonai YHWH” (e.g., Gen. 15:2, 8; Deut. 3:24; 9:26), was no doubt understood as “my Lord.” But later, "’Adonai” was taken to be a name of God, the "Lord.”

Get it? By calling the Creator "Lord" you are calling Him your equal. This is the same thing Satan did!

So, WHO ARE YOU REALLY WORSHIPING?????

http://www.yahweh.com/Booklets/Worship/WhoWorship.htm

John (Yahchanan) 4:22a "You do not know what you worship; we know what we worship." The woman said in verse 19 she knew He was a Prophet, but she didn’t know He was the Messiah. The Scriptures don’t specify her religion, but the fact that she said she knew He was a Prophet declares she was of the popular jewish faith of the time, meaning she worshiped ‘God’ or ‘Lord’, but not Yahweh, the Father…

Does it matter WHO YOU WORSHIP? Or can you simply believe hard enough? NO! Yahchanan 4:10—
Yahshua answered and said to her: If you knew the gift of Yahweh, and Who it is that says to you: Give Me a drink—you would have asked Him instead, and He would have given you living water.

Romans 6:16 …you belong to the one you obey, it doesn’t matter whether that obedience is voluntary or by accident.

So back to those Christians, who is it they worship? They worship Satan, not on purpose of course…

The Encyclopedia Judaica, Volume 7, page 674, says:
Most of these terms were employed also by the Canaanites, to designate their pagan gods. This is not surprising; since on settling in the Promised Land the Patriarchs and early Israelites made the Language of Canaan their own (Isa 19:18), the Hebrew language would naturally use the Canaanite vocabulary for terms designating their own Deity.

The Encyclopedia Judaica, Volume 7, pages 674 through 679 gives us the pagan Canaanite names of their GODS, which includes "Lord" as it is known to Christianity.
‘Adonai. The Hebrew word ‘adon is correctly rendered in English as "lord.” In the Bible it is often used in reference to any human being who had authority, such as the ruler of a country (Gen. 42:30), the master of a slave (Gen. 24:96), and the husband of a wife (Gen. 18:12). In formal polite style a man, not necessarily a superior, was addressed as "my lord” (’adoni; e.g., Gen. 23:6, 15; 24:18); and several men could be addressed as "my lords” (’adonai; e.g., Gen. 19:2). Since God is "Lord ['adon] of all the earth” (Josh. 3:11), He is addressed and spoken of as "my Lord”__in Hebrew, ‘Adonai (literally, “my Lords, ” in the plural in keeping with the plural form, ‘Elohim, and always with the “pausal” form of a long a- at the end). Originally, "’adonai,” especially in the combined form "’adonai YHWH” (e.g., Gen. 15:2, 8; Deut. 3:24; 9:26), was no doubt understood as “my Lord.” But later, "’Adonai” was taken to be a name of God, the "Lord.”

Isayah 52:6 "Therefore My people will know My Name"

Baal is the common Canaanite word for Lord, as Unger’s Bible Dictionary says on page 413:
Baal (ba-¢ al), common Canaanite word for "master, lord," was one of the chief male deities of the Canaanite pantheon, now well-known from the religious epic literature discovered at Ras Shamra (ancient Ugarit of the Amarna Letters) from 1921-1937. Baal was the son of El, the father of the gods and the head of the Canaanite pantheon, according to the tablets from Ugarit. He is also designated as "the son of Dagon" (Heb. dagan, "grain"), an ancient Canaanite and Mesopotamian deity associated with agriculture. Baal was thus the farm god who gave increase to family and field, flocks and herds. He was likewise identified with the storm-god Hadad whose voice could be heard in the reverberating thunder that accompanied rain, which was so necessary for the success of the crops.

[Continuing in Unger's]…..Canaanite Worship. The inhabitants of Canaan were addicted to Baal worship, which was conducted by priests in temples and in good weather outdoors in fields and particularly on hilltops called "high places." The cult included animal sacrifice, ritualistic meals, and licentious dances. Near the rock altar was a sacred pillar or massebah, and close by the symbol of the asherah, both of which apparently symbolized human fertility. High places had chambers for sacred prostitution by male-prostitutes (kedishim) and sacred harlots (kedeshoth) (I Kings 14:23,24; II Kings 23:7). The gaiety and licentious character of Baal worship always had a subtle attraction for the austere Hebrews bound to serve a holy God under a rigorous moral code. Baal Names. In times of lapse Hebrews compounded the names of their children with Baal—for example, Jerubbaal (Judg. 7:1); Ishbaal (I Chron. 8:33; 9:39), Meribbaal (I Chron. 8:34; 9:40) which in times of revival and return to Yahwism were altered, the baal element being replaced by "bosheth," meaning "shame." Thus pious Israelites express their horror of Baal worship; examples are Jerubbosheth (for Jerubbaal) (II Sam. 11:21), Ishbosheth (for Ishbaal) (II Sam. 2:8), Mephibosheth (for Merribaal) II Samuyl 4:4; 9:6,10). Numerous place names also occur, such as Baal-gad ("Lord of good fortune,” Josh. 11:17), Baal-hamon ("Lord of wealth,” Song 8:11), Baal-hazor ("Baal’s village,” II Sam. 13:23), Baal-meon ("Lord of the dwelling,” Num. 32:38), Baal-peor ("Lord of the opening,” Deut. 4:3), Baal-Tamar ("Lord of the palm tree,” Judg. 20:33) an

Its The poster of the man, and it says "Ambassadeurs Artistide Bruant dans son Cabaret"

It’s a poster – it doesn’t need an interpretation.

Ambassadeurs – the place.
Aristide (please note correct spelling) Bruant – the most famous cabaret artist of his time later to become a politician. You can wiki him.
Cabaret – his act.

If you actually meant Please translate this, then it should be Ambassadeurs – Aristide Bruant in his Cabaret

What can you do with a BA in Jewish Studies?

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

This degree intrigues me. I’m a baal teshuva who’s been in college/university for the last year and a half. So I don’t want to quit now, but I figured a good place to focus my studies would be in Judaica. Right now my two top career plans are either Rabbi or Lawyer. jewish Studies would be a good warm-up for Rabbinical school, and law school’s usually don’t care which degree you got so long as you got one.

But I want to know what else is out there for someone with a BA in Jewish Studies?

What can’t you do with a BA in jewish Studies?

I can think of journalism, history, foreign affairs/diplomacy, inter-cultural programs, political analysis.
