From your big reply I take only this element. ...see above... And I give an explanation that will be perhaps a little bit grievious to you at the first insight.
But Jesus also was hurting sometimes, but he did it for the saving of souls and for the opening of eyes, ( see :Luke 11 v 45). And so I want to do.
Now ...in another posting to you and also to Carey amd Emily, Proudmum, I quoted Ephesians 6 v 12 , explaining the totally prominent role of satan But now this is my point as I already, perhaps a little bit covered, said before.
When satan looked at the Christianity, he observed - so to say in 600- that there was a slackening in the development of the good message of Jesus.
And then he said to his 'leading staff of demons': ' Now it is the good time for a counterattack. I make a new religion, which takes all the good things... as far as possible of course... of the teachings of the 'dreadful opponent', (so he calls our dear Lord Jesus, I suppose). But the principal things, as -for example those bad words-:"' I am the truth and the way and the life", John 14 v 6, we leave away. We give to the antagonist all honour, just to deceive people. We let away his divinity,(Joh 8 v 58) and everything else that can damage our affairs. This is the best way we can offend 'the horrible opponent'..
We don't make this new religion so strong, that the weak position of the women should be embettered. You know what 'the enemy 'did say long ago. Genesis 3 v 15: "I will put enmity between you ,serpent, devil, and the woman, and between your offspring and hers, he ,the Opponent, will crush your head, and you will strike his heel. Oh...how we...demons...have listened..... better than ´silly mankind´. And therefore ... amongst these despised ´minkukels´...dutch for ´bungler´... whom we hate, we hate foremost women
At a later stage I bring into this new religion enmity with Jews, for, although I hate all mankind, I hate first and foremost the Jews, from which the ´Opponent´came forth.
I found already a man, to do the job, to be ´our man´on earth´...Mohanmmed, a travelling man of business, well acquainted with Jews and Christians. I am going to deceive this ´bungler amongst bunglers and duffers and noodles´. He knows about Ibrahim, who got messages from the enemy. I shall give him messagess and he will think, that they are coming from ´the other side´.
