THE BOOK
THE ISLAMIC/KORAN RATIONALE
Let’s recap: The claim that the Koran was given verbatim by God to Muhammad through the Archangel, Gabriel, and must therefore be correct, and that Muhammad was the prophesied Spirit of Truth, must presuppose that the Koran is all of The Truth. In blunt terms: nothing else left to learn or know, so only what is in the Koran is what we should know, or be permitted to know. Is that the absolute claim by the Muslim world?
Since the time of Muhammad, humanity has gone through immense change and upheaval; from the insane madness of the Catholic Inquisition -– all in the name of their kind of God --- and into the Reformation and Age of Enlightenment. From the 18th century to the present, we have experienced a veritable explosion of greater earth-based knowledge than was ever thought possible. Today, the exponential factor of increasing knowledge is actually alarming. The kinds of scientific discoveries that have occurred are clearly not in the Koran.
Yet the aspect of such rapid development and evolution does accord with Creation-Law and The All-Truth. If such is not mentioned in the Koran, does that mean that in Muslim education systems, scientific development and discovery are not taught? Are they permitted to be taught?
For no religion can deny what the microscope reveals, or the more revealing electron-scanning microscope, or the giant radio telescopes. IF the full spectrum of scientific discovery is deemed suspect because that knowledge is not in the Koran, is it then deemed dark or evil because it was not given by Gabriel? If such is the case, then that heralds a new dark-age for the earth, if it is brought to a Muslim jihadist conclusion.
It is not one of spiritual enlightenment, for it would not in any way accord with the Divine Laws of Creation. It would be akin to Pol Pot’s dark and quite mad vision; in his twisted, ignorant mind, to start again from Year Zero. Or perhaps a Hitler-style scenario: Burn all books that are not the Koran.
Anecdotal evidence from friends with a strong association to Islam suggests that Sunni Muslims believe “separating science from religion was their big mistake” and has seriously held back their development. When we later itemise the comprehensive list of subjects that The All-Truth covers, we will all readily recognise that It encompasses overall knowledge --- including science --- on a scale that in some respects are virtually beyond human comprehension. But then, that is Truth; not emotionally-charged religion.
As a concluding paragraph for this first Discourse, Monotheism, as applied to the three associated religions, generally accept that there is a necessary “separation” between humanity on earth and God, The Creator. The after- death paradisiacal aspect seems to be much less clear. There is the really strange belief that one can actually be in Paradise with God, but no detail from any of the “big three” on the actual death process and its aftermath and how they supposedly get there.
No detail, no knowledge, just Scripture and Verse stating that it is so, or can be so; just faith, but no real detailed knowledge of why that cannot ever be!
[We will provide that factor in the later Discourse on the “death process” -- and its aftermath.]
As a closing Proclamation: The many titles promulgated and endlessly debated by the ‘religious wise’ of the earth ------ The Promised Messiah, The Redeemer, The Coming One, The Comforter, The World Judge, The Spirit of Truth ----- were always Divinely-ordained to be: One and the Same!
Thus was He at His Coming!
So, from HIS All-Truth let us hear what HE has written for all time about earthly humanity’s perception of, and attitude to: ----- GOD!

OMNISCIENCE
And those who are still profoundly convinced of the Omniscience of God, who wish humbly to bow before the great, loving guidance contained therein through the effects of the irrevocable Laws of this Creation, they think of this Omniscience of God as different from what it is!
They picture the Wisdom of God as much too human and consequently much too small, compressed into much too narrow boundaries! With the best of volition they make nothing but an earthly should-know-everything out of Omniscience. However, all their good thinking in this matter is too human, for ever and again they commit the one mistake of seeking to picture God and the Divine as the crowning point of what is human!
They simply do not get away from the human basis, but contemplate everything only from their own particular status; proceeding upwards from the human level they come to conclusions which are perfected to the highest and most ideal point of the same species. In spite of everything they do not leave their own level in their conception of God!”
THE “SPIRIT OF TRUTH”!
FROM: “IN THE LIGHT OF TRUTH”.

“In spite of everything they (global humanity) do not leave their own level in their conception of God!” (Emphases mine.)
Reader: In just that one sentence lies a tragedy of monumental proportions for we humans. We, who did not bring Creation into being but are simply permitted to be here, nonetheless think that we can determine whatever we wish with impunity.
Terrible will be the price that must be paid!
