109) Reading the New Testament without Trinitarian Glasses

This episode has two parts: Part 1, I ask a question about the objectives of the Hamas attack. October 7, 2023—a date which will live in infamy— Israel was suddenly and deliberately attacked by the militant, terrorist forces of Hamas, the Islamic organization in authority in the Gaza strip.   Part 2 of the Podcast, Reading the New Testament without Trinitarian Glasses   I look at the first eight verses of the Book of Revelation as an example of reading a New Testament text without the presuppositions and prejudices of Trinitarian belief. We discover that in the biblical text Jesus is not the LORD God Almighty, who was and is and to come.  Rather, Jesus is the faithful witness who died is the first-born from the dead.  Jesus’ God is the Father, the LORD God Almighty who is and was and is to come.   Resource links: In the Book of Revelation, God is not the Lamb, and the Lamb is not Godhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VGgzoGD8Qw Hamas charterhttps://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp   Hamas is an acronym of the Arabic phrase حركة المقاومة الإسلامية or Ḥarakah al-Muqāwamah al-ʾIslāmiyyah, meaning "Islamic Resistance Movement".   Samples of Hamas Charter: Preamble Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it"   Article 8 Jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes.   Basam Naim, Hamas Head of Political and International Relations, “We did not kill civilians…” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Egipqa0ZhUk&t=2s   Hamas Chief of National Relations Abroad, Ali Baraka: We Have Been Secretly Planning the Invasion for Two Years https://twitter.com/MEMRIReports/status/1712030588872351872 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzZsms0LJWQ   Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh (from Qatar) 10/14/23 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TsgINcg-ss   #Hamas, #Israel-Hamas, #trinity, #deityofchrist, #unitarian, #biblicalunitarian, #billschlegel
