Jesus Enigma: The Strange Absurdity of Islam, Christianity and Judaism

One of the most fascinating sides about the study of religion and its history is its Silent Features.
What I mean Silent Features are the basis of religious beliefs where the religion itself is silent
about it. When their authorities come to accidentally mention them or deliberately read them
they do so just for a passing glance, and thereby mention references which have no bearing to the
beliefs in question itself.
For example, Christianity is silent about the people whom Cain associated with after he killed
Abel. They were not or could not belong to Adam’s family. Otherwise the author would mention
it.

This is similar during the times of Jesus Christ. He mentioned “other” flocks of sheep that were
not in his sheepfold. Just as like when he said that there were also those who do healing but were
not his followers. If you ask who they were, Jesus was silent about them. His only response was
those who do His Father’s will were with him.
There are lots of questions if we are to dig about it. But what interest us here is that if one were
to compare the three religions one falls into a strange absurdity. Here it is in a nutshell.
Judaism does not believe about the Messiahship of Jesus Christ. They rejected him and
branded him as a heretic, bewitched-charlatan and sorcerer.

Christianity believed him as the Son of God; a redeemer and a crucified for the sins of the
world—a savior.
Islam believed him to be the Messiah, the son of Mary. But the Quran rejected his
crucifixion. It was according their famous scholar Ahmed Deedat-- a cruci-fiction.

Where does one fit in if he is to believe Jesus Christ? If you were born to a Christian parent, then
you take it for granted as your belief that Jesus Christ is your God and Savior—a personal Savior
according to the sect. But thinking out of the box, out of the sheepfold, then you discover that
your fold is not that absolutely unique from others. Moreover, each fold thinks they are unique
and each one holds the truth if not the absolute truth.
If one were to hear from a distance these folds are silent about this absurdity. But as one nears
the gate, you can hear the din and each one speaks differently.
Religion is a fundamental need for Man. Humans cannot do without religion—let it be a cult, a
sect, a strange belief like the snake charmers. In spite of crass materialism, people feel the want
to adore, to worship and to revere—let alone those who cannot decide. It is called atheism. But
the failure of Man to decide to believe and the loss of whom to believe despairs humanity for an
explanation. Instead, Man diverts his adoration, worship and reverence to wars, bloodshed and
hate. And moreover, for what they were taught within their sheepfold became the basis for their
hate and instinct to kill.
God is One; yet Christianity taught the three of it. When the Jews prayed their Shema, the
Moslems shout their La illa. Christianity had its Inquisition; the Moslems their jihad. While the
Jews suffered the curse of Cain banished from their homeland then to undergo the horrible
holocaust. Jesus Christ whom they rejected admonished them to purchase at least a sword. Only
then to find that hundred of years later a Moslem is worthy to kill Christians and Jews according
to the Quran. Thus, this becomes the basis of those we can see often among the terrorist who
shouted Allahu Akbar! with an AK raised up towards heaven.
All these are the silent features of these three religions. No one debates it. No one explains it
why. Yet they are all guilty from them. Now as we can see the little state of the Jews the Israel
has become over-protective of their homeland bordering in the edge of becoming war-freaks.
Their rabbis even prayed against their enemies while everybody longs for peace.
Truth may not be known at least in our present age. Truth will give us Security and Peace. As
long as there are people who played against the truth there will be no peace. But like Pontius
Pilate we may ask, “What is truth?” But our dear Lord Jesus Christ never replied. He was silent
and as we know “Silence is Golden.” Had Jesus Christ told the truth the world as it is now would
be the best possible of all worlds. Sometimes you think that Jesus Christ failed to save mankind
from their sins. Look how more sinful are the sinners. But like Pilate we may be forever groping
about the truth. And like Pilate we may be forever washing our hands from the Savior’s blood.
But in the book by David Hesselbrand entitle AnaGomKin, the author showed that humanity’s
solution to the world’s conflicts particularly in the Middle East is the recognition that the Prophet
Muhammad was the reincarnation of the first Man ADM. This sounds a far-fetched idea; but
Hesselbrand showed it by using the Torah, Zohar and the Gematria—the method used by the
Jewish Kabbalist. He further showed that just as the first Man was created in the sixth day then
therefore (as the end is contained in the beginning by Rabbi bar Yochai) in the sixth millennium
is the last Man the last prophet will have to appear; and by Jewish reckoning that tallies with the
times of the prophet Muhammad—whom the Jews rejected.

I believe that this is the initial time that these things should be brought into open and be
discussed. These silent, absurd features should be debated and searched out. But this is a very
dangerous water to explore. But with the same God all things are possible coupled with the
humility that, according to Isaac of Nineveh (AD 600)
“collects the soul into a single point by the power of silence. A truly humble man has no
desire to be known or admired by others, but wishes to form himself into himself, to
become nothing, as if he had never been born. When he is completely hidden to himself
in himself, he is completely with God.”
