"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity." -- Anne Coulter, Christian Peace Activist

Conquer,Convert or kill them.

"The three-in-one/one-in-three mystery of Father, Son and Holy Ghost made tritheism official. The subsequent almost-deification of the Virgin Mary made it quatrotheism . . . Finally, cart-loads of saints raised to quarter-deification turned Christianity into plain old-fashioned polytheism. By the time of the Crusades, it was the most polytheistic religion to ever have existed, with the possible exception of Hinduism.

This untenable contradiction between the assertion of monotheism and the reality of polytheism was dealt with by accusing other religions of the Christian fault.

The Church - Catholic and later Protestant - turned aggressively on the two most clearly monotheistic religions in view - Judaism and Islam - and persecuted them as heathen or pagan.

The external history of Christianity consists largely of accusations that other religions rely on the worship of more than one god and therefore not the true God.

These “pagans” (Islam and Judaism) must therefore be converted, conquered and/or killed for their own good in order that they benefit from the singularity of the Holy Trinity, plus appendages." -- The Doubter's Companion (John Ralston Saul)

Answer 1

We don't. Judaism does not believe in the devil int he way Christianity does- so the devil would not inspire anything. This accusation is just plain rubbish.

Answer 2

That's funny. Well, I'll cite you a dozen modern scholars who say that the evidence is conclusive in declaring that Judaism was originally polytheistic (those who are more conservative call it monolatry). The Hebrew Bible itself has many shaded references to the Divine Council, a Most High God who is the father of many Divine Sons, a Second God (which lead to the Two Powers in Heaven debates).
The "polytheism" of the Christians was nothing new to Judaism. It was simply an extension, or renewal, if you will, of ancient beliefs that were a part of Judaism's religious history. Strict Monotheism seems to be a relatively late development. If you want some references, please let me know.

Answer 3

The authority of the Church rests on three pillars:

Scripture- The Bible is the inerrant word of God and is to be read as the earliest Christians read it: in the light of Tradition and under the guidance of those ordained to teach.

Tradition-the teachings which the Church has preserved and passed down from Christ, His Apostles, and the unanimous teachings of the early Church Fathers .

Magisterium - the teaching authority of the Church under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

The Church has 7 Sacraments -- "outward signs of invisible grace" and media of sanctifying grace. The Sacraments were given to us by Christ so that we may receive His grace and become more like Him. The Seven Sacraments are:

Baptism
Confirmation -Sacrament of the Seal
Eucharist
Penance
Holy Matrimony
Holy Orders
Extreme Unction

The Church teaches by looking not only at Sacred Scripture, but into History and by reading what the earliest Christians have written, what those who've sat on the Chair of Peter have spoken consistently with Scripture and Tradition, and what they've solemnly defined.
To believe that the Bible is our only source of Christian Truth is unbiblical and illogical

Answer 4

NOT TRUE.
That Muslim website of yours is full of lies.
We believe the trinity is a pagan concept, but we do not believe it has anything to do with satanism.
For Jews, anything that even remotely conflicts with the idea that God is One and Indivisible will be rejected because it precludes true, pure, monotheism. The idea that there is a God in heaven above who fights against a god of the underworld, or hell, is not monotheism, however, it is the same duality found in other pagan faiths. The Bible speaks of a character known as The Satan, who acts like a prosecuting attorney, or a district attorney, in God's court. However, The Satan has no power or authority in and of himself, rather he must get permission from the Judge, God, to do anything.

Answer 5

Well frankly I don't see how on earth Ann Coulter can call herself a "peace" activist when she goes around creating verbal explosions in her wake... saying a presidential candidate should be killed by terrorist? That 9/11 are opportunities that were probably going to be divorced by their husbands before they died?

Be that as it may, the trinity is a pagan teaching with no basis in scripture. Matthew 28:19,20 MENTIONS the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Where in that text does Jesus say they are all one? The fact that they are mentioned in the same sentence no more indicates that they exist as one than a card on a present to some that says "Congratulations from John, Mary and Timmy" is an indication that the gift givers named are all one. The scripture in John where Jesus says "I and the father are one" doesn't work either since Jesus also said he and his disciples were one. Considering there were hunndreds of them at that point were we looking at one massive multi-deity?

Answer 6

I am sure that Protestants warred on Islam at some time - just not sure when.

Satan is very very good at imitating God's plan and theology.

Satan can twist and pervert the minds of good hearted people because he has a lot of practice.

This happens in all the religions Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and others.

There are very sick people that delight in the death of humans.
This is an aspect of Satan. These people exist in Christianity,Judaism, and Islam.

God wants us to have life not death.

Answer 7

Interesting take on the Trinity. I see it as no different than the Pegan God/Goddes. But the Trinity is simply One. As the Pegan God/Goddess is simply one. The three gig monotheistic religions use the same formulas in their respective histories.

Breed alot, Conquer convert and kill those who will not change.

Answer 8

The "trinity" is based on pagan religions where the gods were credited with being " all seeing...all knowing.."
And to put this idea across to unsophisticated followers, the statues of such gods were depicted with three faces.
there are many examples in museums.
this wrongful thinking was introduced into religion about 300 A.D. and has been pushed since then.
It is in no way supported by the Bible.

Answer 9

Why do you keep reposting this rant with increasingly disconnected questions?

As the poster above says, Jews don't have the same concept of Satan that many Christians do anyway, so your question makes even less sense than it would if directed at a Christian group.

Answer 10

Jews see the trinity as paganism, but not Satanic since in Judaism Satan is a loyal servant of G-d who tempts man to test there faith
