Christian Islamic Dualism.




Christian Islamic Dualism.

This article began its genesis when I was asked to understand whether man is servant to GOD or GOD is servant to man.  It came couched as a direct request from GOD, not something that I had specifically experienced before.  Yet a sensitized friend received this question and the knowledge that he needed to share it with me.  I paid attention.  Many things became clear.  He largely forgot that he had even acted as a conduit.

The surprising answer is as simple as it comes.  GOD was created by advanced life of which mankind is a part as the servant of life. 

However, left on its own and unconnected with this servant, mankind appoints a priesthood who easily forgets any such knowledge and naturally assumes GOD to be a source of power.  Yet the absolute rule of any such servant is to insure that no assistance to one individual hurts another.  It really is some version of the three laws of robotics.

Part of the agenda of Jesus was to restore the presence of GOD to the people themselves.  Judaism by this time had become profoundly rule bound and empowering to the priesthood.  It was not the only plank in his platform but it was the lasting plank that continues to reverberate to this day.

It is important though that the whole history of Christianity has been about this ongoing internal feud however described.  It is encouraging that today we are seeing the original agenda been reasserted in Christianity.

In that light we understand that Islam is not so much about the one true GOD but the all encompassing demand to submit and by natural extension to the demands of the Priesthood.  GOD ceases to be a servant but empowers master hood over anyone one chooses.  That is where man as servant takes you.

The agenda of Jesus as he understood that agenda was extraordinary.  As it turned out, we got to live his default resolution in which time worked its way through to the present solution.  Had he been given the time, the Rule of Twelve might have been understood and the Roman Empire might have shifted to fast forward in its economic development.  It was not to be.  It has cost us an extra thousand years.

For those who like their prophecy, we are exiting the times of tribulations a century long and entering the times of confrontation.  Past eyes have mistakenly associated that with war, but war is no longer a meaningful option while confrontation is and vastly more beneficial.

In conclusion that not so innocuous question goes to the core of Christianity and Islam and will dominate the rest of history however blind we are to its presence.
