Christian/Muslim ThreadsBefore Jesus(pbuh), Monotheism or trinityAbdullah: Trinity, Analogy, From Koran: You choose to be sarcastic in relation to the analogy related to man. Man is created in the image of God. However, another analogy, this time from the Koran: Light 24:35, Shakir Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth; a likeness of His light is as a niche in which is a lamp, the lamp is in a glass, (and) the glass is as it were a brightly shining star, lit from a blessed olive-tree, neither eastern nor western, the oil whereof almost gives light though fire touch it not -- light upon light -- Allah guides to His light whom He pleases, and Allah sets forth parables for men, and Allah is Cognizant of all things. So here we have a lamp as an analogy of God to explain His Light. So the lamp in glass is the analogy of God. This lamp emits light that make us see the lamp and recognise its existence. This light is emitted from the lamp by the burning of the thread within the lamp ie the light is emitted by the burning thread, which if we come near enough will feel its heat. Muslims read this analogy and only see the lamp. Christians read this analogy and see: 1. The lamp, signifying or is analogy of God The Father. 2. The light emitted which is the manifestation of the presence of the lamp: God The Son, The Word, The Light, The Logos. 3. The fire of the thread that by its burning and fire leads or proceeds to emit The Light, the fire an analogy to The Holy Spirit. Thus the lamp is constituted of the glass lamp, the thread that burns, giving the light. Lamp= the glass lamp + fire + light. Three in one and one in three. |
