MY COMMENTARY ON RELIGION IN RESPECT TO DIVINITY
MY COMMENTARY ON RELIGION IN RESPECT TO DIVINITY
Jesus was a practicing Jew.
Christ lived his life 100% righteous while in the practice of his local culture. From most ancient religious books (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Holy Qur’an etc ) written weather in raw or Canon form was written based on the idea of man’s worship of God from his cultural morals.
Sharia is the culture of the Middle-East. Based on what I have read and Quranic teaches I’ve received its notable that Arabs because of their distinct form of banking share a common wealth among their local civilisation. Adashe is the word in Hausa. In the western world, it is refereed to as an Islamic Banking system. Which is structured to favour the migrating culture of Herds-men, their wives, children, cattle, servants etc in search of survival as civilisation existed as family and wealth depended on its size. It also acts as a verdict to justice as migrating civilisations cannot accommodate prisons and penitentiaries. It's a combination of Local culture, Language, Beliefs & Faith to produce Divinity. So is Judaism, Hinduism and the Law of Moses(Torah of the Old Testament before the Bible was in canon form).
It is structured to protect Individual, Family and Institutional wealth as it puts away all hindrances to migration and merchant trade. For example, The Burial of a Muslim by Sharia states that a man buried on the same day in a foot deep grave embalming the smell with Frank-incense as the Mortuaries were only used by Egyptian Civilisation. A similar practice would have been the case of the Israelite in the wilderness. Also, Their prayers facing the Sun were a common practice by Jews who prayed towards the pillar of Fire by Day. The Sun rises in the East and settles in the West, this phenomenon would have been practiced by Exodus Jews who had to travel West from Egypt to present day Israel.
Another observation was stealing, In my opinion the immediate punishment was the solution to a culture ignorant of a Court and Jury system and placed a Judge(Alkali) to handle judicial matters in the community. So also was in the law of Moses in the wilderness. Thieves were to be put to death.
Though I find out that though Sharia was made Official in the 7th century through the Holy Qur’an it was practiced before then without compromise as it was their(Arabs) culture. Islamic Banking had existed before then also as it was the only form of Banking that could support a travelling merchant as they was no money order or ATM machines. It was more of a practice to protect the community's interest as one family. A similar case is observed in Jesus Christ as he chased a legion of demons out of a man into a swine of pigs. Of course he could have just sent the demons out like he had done before, but whoever had pigs was disobeying the Laws and customs of Judaism as it was against the Law to make profits out of contra-band items. It was against culture and civilisation to have pigs take more of a swine of them.
In my conclusion, which is to crack the glass of ignorance of cultural practises and faith, I believe from my experience as a Christian that faith can be practiced alongside any culture and produce divinity. By thinking outside the box if Jesus Christ were born in Saudi Arabia, He was going to be 100% divine while practising Sharia law, as he did with Judaism. Remember He never read the Bible.
Secondly, the worship of Christ has absolutely nothing to do with Religion or its practises are they are based on cultural views of how man should worship God. It is therefore organised by Man as opposed to Divinity Inspired by God through God. The Bible clearly makes us understand that prior to Christianity the first worshippers of Christ right after birth were Cattle-Herds men from the Far-East. It however never states their number which leaves a controversy with them being a clan or 3 people by the number of gifts given. It is also safe to note that Gold was the merchant's currency, Frank-incense was used by ancient Arabs for praise, prayers as did Abraham and Moses in the Bible. Myrrh was an antiseptic Aroma used on dead bodies to leave it free of fleas and diseases. These were the most expensive merchant treasures of that time used by such men. However, irrespective of what they believed in or practiced. It is clear that they were not Israelites and had nothing to do with their Law and they would be known throughout History as the ‘Wise Men’.
