In Bible versus Quran: The Lord God is the Ruler over the Pride of the Sea

Posted in Internet Redneck Online  by Internet Redneck on July 4th, 2009

The Sons of the Lord God in Bible versus Quran (6)

This is the sixth article of the series:” The Sons of the Lord God in Bible versus Quran”.  The Bible says that the Lord God, the Almighty Creator, has SONS but who among the sons of God is like the LORD? The Lord God is very terrible; He is fearful over all surrounding Him, He is the ruler over the pride of the sea. He crushed Rahab like one of the slain and scattered His enemies with His mighty arm.

  1. But what is the pride of the sea?  Also, Ahab is not mentioned therein.   In addition, Allah does not need to use a mighty arm to scattered His enemies; when He wants anything he just say: Be and it is as He wants.

——————————————————————–

 

The Sons of the Lord God in the Bible (6)

 

In Psalm 89:6-10 the Bible says:

For who in the skies is comparable to the LORD? Who among the Sons of God (sons of the mighty) is like the LORD, the Lord God is very terrible, In the secret counsel of His holy ones, And fearful over all surrounding Him.  O LORD God of hosts, who is like You, O mighty LORD? Your faithfulness also surrounds you.

O LORD God of hosts, You are the ruler over the pride of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them in the lifting up of its billows Thou dost restrain them. O LORD God of hosts, You Yourself crushed Rahab like one who is slain; you scattered your enemies with Your mighty arm.

Sons of God versus sons of the mighty:

The original Hebrew version says: Who among the Sons of God is like the LORD?

Herein again, the original word “Sons of God” is translated to five different translations, the nearest one of them is the “sons of the mighty”.

The five different translations of the “Sons of God” in 18 Biblical versions:

In 18 different versions of the Bible, the word “Sons of God” is translated to five different translations; they are sons of the mighty (in seven versions), the heavenly beings (in seven versions), the angels (in two versions) and the holy angels and the mightiest angels in one version each..

If you smart reader is interested, have a look at these 18 different versions of the Bible at the site of BibleGateway.com.

On the other hand, the Bible does not tell the names of the Sons of the Lord God, the Bible also does not give the physical attributes of the Sons of the Lord God. In addition, the Bible does not tell what the number of the Sons of the Lord God was and how many they were?

In short, the Bible does not let us know who, how, when, where, how many etc. in respect to the Sons of the Lord God.

Furthermore, the Bible gives some informative details about the sons of Judah, for example, but does not give any details about the Sons of the Lord God, the Almighty Creator, who of course are very much more important than the sons of Judah. 

——————————————–

 

Psalm 89:6-10 in five different versions of the Bible:

 

New International Version

6For who in the skies above can compare with the LORD ? Who is like the LORD among the heavenly beings?

7In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround him.

8 O LORD God Almighty, who is like you? You are mighty, O LORD, and your faithfulness surrounds you.

9 You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them.

10 You crushed Rahab like one of the slain; with your strong arm you scattered your enemies.

 

New American Standard Bible

6For who in the skies is comparable to the LORD?Who among the sons of the mighty is like the LORD,

7A God greatly feared in the council of the holy ones,And awesome above all those who are around Him?

8O LORD God of hosts, who is like You, O mighty LORD?Your faithfulness also surrounds You.

9You rule the swelling of the sea; When its waves rise, You still them.

10You Yourself crushed Rahab like one who is slain;You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.

 

English Standard Version

6For who in the skies can be compared to the LORD?Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD,

7a God greatly to be feared in the council of the holy ones,and awesome above all who are around him?

8O LORD God of hosts,who is mighty as you are, O LORD,with your faithfulness all around you?

9You rule the raging of the sea;when its waves rise, you still them.

10You crushed Rahab like a carcass;you scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.

 

King James Version

6For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?

7God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

8O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

9Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

10Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

 

Young’s Literal Translation

6For who in the sky, Compareth himself to Jehovah? Is like to Jehovah among sons of the mighty?

7God is very terrible, In the secret counsel of His holy ones, And fearful over all surrounding Him.

8O Jehovah, God of Hosts, Who [is] like Thee — a strong Jah? And Thy faithfulness [is] round about Thee.

9Thou [art] ruler over the pride of the sea, In the lifting up of its billows Thou dost restrain them.

10Thou hast bruised Rahab, as one wounded. With the arm of Thy strength Thou hast scattered Thine enemies.

The Sons of the Lord God in the Quran (6)

 

On the other hand, the Quran makes it very clear and says that Allah, the Almighty Creator, has neither a son nor a partner.

The Quran decisively forbids saying that Allah has a son.

It is not befitting for the Majesty of Allah to take to Himself a son.

Allah has not taken any son either from the Children of Adam or from the angels.

Allah is exalted, magnified, He is above what they associate with Him of son or partners.  Allah is far transcendent above all that they ascribe unto Him!

In Islam, this point is very important faith wise.

  1. Again, it is unforgivable sin to say or to believe that the One Almighty Creator [who is Allah or God or the Lord or Jehovah or whatever name(s) you are giving Him] has a son or Sons.

From the Islamic point of view, the conclusion of this essential topic that may establish or destroy the faith is that:

Any one who believe that the Almighty Creator has a son or Sons; he messes his faith up and is considered as a disbeliever and in the afterlife he will end up as an eternal inhabitant of the hell.

——————————————–

 

The meanings of verses 18:4-5:

 

The meanings of verse 18:4

And so that Muhammad warns by means of the Quran those, from among the disbelievers, who say: Allah has taken a son (or Allah has begotten a son).

 

The meanings of verse 18:5

 

In respect to this statement, they do not have any knowledge, nor did their fathers, before them, who also used to say this have any knowledge.

They have no proof or argument for what they claim

Dreadful, grave, is the word that comes out of their mouths that Allah has taken a son.

They speak nothing, thereby, but, an utterance of, lies.

They speak naught but a lie about Allah.

——————————————–

 

Verses 18:4-5 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:

 

Verses 18:4

 

QARIB: and it (the koran) warns those who say: ‘Allah has taken a son. ‘

SHAKIR: and warn those who say: Allah has taken a son

PICKTHAL: and to warn those who say: Allah hath chosen a son,

YUSUFALI: further, that he may warn those (also) who say, “Allah hath begotten a son”:

 

Verses 18:5

 

QARIB: Surely, of this they have no knowledge, neither they nor their fathers; it is a monstrous word that comes from their mouths, they say nothing but a lie.

SHAKIR: they have no knowledge of it, nor had their fathers; a grievous word it is that comes out of their mouths; they speak nothing but a lie

PICKTHAL: (a thing) whereof they have no knowledge, nor (had) their fathers, dreadful is the word that cometh out of their mouths. They speak naught but a lie.

YUSUFALI: no knowledge have they of such a thing, nor had their fathers. it is a grievous thing that issues from their mouths as a saying what they say is nothing but falsehood!

The Secret Ingredient in Sharpo Murder Mysteries

Posted in Internet Redneck Online  by Internet Redneck on July 3rd, 2009

Thanks to Nora Sharp, Sharpo! dinner theater productions have become the industry standard. Call it attention to detail, call it good taste, call it a keen eye to see cast members gifts and utilize them in the show, call it whatever. Nora Jean Sharp is the unsung hero of mine and of the players in our great company. Why have so many talented performers stayed with us for season after season? Aside from fair pay and fun working conditions, the reason, in my humble opinion, is that these excellent, professional performers love to be part of a great show and part of Nora’s family! Nora and I believe that the company that slays together stays together! Nora and I write parts specifically for Duffy Hudson, Nicole Neuman, Jason Reed, Kerri Schmidle, and Jan Fischer.

Nora’s philosophy is simple. Treat everyone well and then murder them! Fake murders of course. I think Nora is the rock upon which our whole company is built. Maybe it is her nursing background (She is an ICU nurse) that makes her so compassionate. Her joy and gratitude for life comes through in everything she does and is very evident in the performances of “La Pintura Frecuentada”, “Murdertopia” and other dinner theater shows we have created together.

Just between you and me and the Ezine community, my wife is a great actress! The amazing thing is she doesn’t even know how good she is. We did “Play It Again Sam” together (The Woody Allen play) and she was outstanding in the role of Linda. I am so proud to work beside her on stage.

This is my first post here so I thought it only fitting to make it about my wonderful, beautiful, incredible partner and wife, Nora Jean Sharp. I think I am probably the luckiest guy in the whole world to be married to such an inspirational person. I had a pretty good little company going but things really took off when Nora came into my life. Sharpo’s Murder Mystery Dinner Theater plays weekly in Hollywood, California at the El Cid Dinner Theater.

Eric Howell Sharp is a proud member of the Mystery Writers of America, the Screen Actors Guild, the American Federation of Television & Radio Artists, & the American Society Of Composers, Authors and Publishers and the Society of American Magicians.

Strange Toilet Behavior from A-list Celebrities

Posted in Internet Redneck Online  by Internet Redneck on July 1st, 2009

Celebrity behavior is at times a little bit outlandish. The following is a look into the bathrooms of some major celebrities.

Flower girl: During a concert tour in 2007 super star singer Barbra Streisand made two bizarre bathroom requests at the Hotels she was she staying. The first request was that the toilet should have floating rose metals and the second demand including having rose colored toilet paper. Obviously her stuff doesn’t stink

Hot Buns: Mega Star and wife of Jay-z, Beyonce makes a few bathroom demands for her backstage restroom. The toilet has to be disinfected which, is somewhat normal but on top that request the toilet water most be 78 degrees. Maybe this is her secret to keep her bottom tight.

Golden Girl: Famous R and B performer Mariah Carey requests upon her arrival that the faucets should be replaced with solid gold faucets and that the toilet seat be replaced with a brand new one. I am happy with running with running water

Not a seat in the house. Madonna The Legendary performer has been packing the seats for years. However the material girl finds it necessary to have a brand new toilet seat for each day she stays at a hotel. I wonder how much a used Madonna toilet seat would go for Ebay.

House without a toilet. Cliff Richard will not be appearing in Celebrity Big Brother. No, it is not because of a bad contract. The star made it clear to that he had to have his own bathroom away from the set. The producers of the show felt that this request was ludicrous and did not fulfill Cliff’s request.

Kelly does not need a toilet. According to an interview with American Idol icon, Kelly Clarkson admits to urinating in the shower. I am guessing Madonna would have the Bathtub removed if she were to stay in a former Clarkson suite.

Not much action. Jackie Chan best know for various action packed roles only flushes the toilet once at the end of the day. I can’t knock the green hustle. We waste a lot of fresh water with every flush of the toilet.

Gets things moving: Pole dancing aficionado Kate Hudson had a stripper pole installed in her bathroom. Now, that is multitasking.

Business or pleasure. George Michael has been found twice performing illegal acts in the restroom. In 1998 George was caught doing indecent acts. He was also caught in the late 90s with illegal drugs.

Stand with Confidence. Former senator Larry Craig was busted in an airport bathroom for having a wide stance. A wide stance is not a crime but supposedly it invites bathroom dwellers to participate in sexual behavior. If only George Michael was there to save the day.

Feeling a little flush. During an interview on Jay Leno A-list actress Cameron Diaz admits to living by the slogan, “if it is yellow leave mellow, if it brown flush down.” Once again green is good but I would not want to be in the next in line after an asparagus dinner.

Toilets are a great way to go green. A dual flush toilet saves a considerable amount of water. If you have space constraints try a wall mount toilet.

Organic Comedy (Not About Body Parts)

Posted in Internet Redneck Online  by Internet Redneck on July 1st, 2009

You may or may not be aware of the rising Arabic American Comedy trend. This trend starting around year 2000 may be perceived by a bystander as an orchestrated event of brining to the stage new age western comedians of Middle Eastern decent. Contrary, the trend is more organic in its origin than it may seem today. The start of Arabic American comedy (and to a greater extent Middle Eastern - Western comedy) is rooted in the personality conflict and conflict of values that second generation westerners face growing up in a new society.

Weather you are Pakistani Englishman or Palestinian Americans, it is difficult to grow up in a conservative Muslim household with a traditional outlook on everything in life (education, dating, & politics for example) while at the same time trying to meld into a western day to day lifestyle that may be more progressive, more liberal, and differently valued. A good example of this conservatism is how immigrant families in general (weather Middle Eastern or otherwise) place more emphasis and higher admiration for professional degrees such as engineering, medicine, IT, and Law in order to secure for their children a safe haven in the new western world that they may not have been able to secure in their country of origin. In some cases you find that a child from a multi cultural house hold is almost obligated to pursue one of these careers and constantly bombarded by stories of the hardships that his parents or grandparents overtook in order to immigrate to the western world.

It is this crisis of identity and this conflict of value that gives Arab American comics such a wealth of material to work with by reaching into their personal struggles with their identity and their struggles with being misunderstood or misrepresented by society to create new comedic material and deliver their personal message through their comedic content. Within the Arab American Comedy movement we find that many of the comedians were trained and educated in professional degrees:  Dean Obeidallah, Omid Djalili for example were at one point practicing in Law, Consulting; while Maz Jobrani was working on a Doctorates in Political Sciences before he dropped out to pursue his passion in theater.

Being a minority within their countries, and sometimes the fastest growing minorities in some countries, they were able to take the stage and delivery minority comedy as other minorities have done before them in an attempt to better express themselves and bridge the cultural and perceptual gap that exists between them and the audience which is typically a representative sample of greater society.

So this entire process of training, creating, and growing the presence of Middle Eastern comedians was truly organic and in most cases unsupported by their families. After 9/11, the spotlight in many countries was shone on these fast growing minorities accusing them of being the root of all evil and the ‘axis of evil’. Once again, the comedians continued to take on stage their struggles albeit with a more clearly defined agenda of cultural gap bridging and a new wealth of material in the attack on religious fanaticism and terrorism.

Following the #1 rule in comedy “You are the only one who can make jokes at your own race”; it seemed as though these comedians were the best ambassadors that were both qualified and frankly ‘allowed to’ touch on the topics of growing up as a Muslim in a western country and dealing with the existing theme in the middle east of religious zealotry, fanaticism and terrorism.

As the heat, the spotlight, and the media attention continued to focus on the rise and the message of these individuals we find that they began to coordinate with each-other. Having much in common and having a united message to deliver, two events were created to better target their efforts and to grow their exposure:

1-      The Axis of Evil comedy show: Starring the original three comedians, Ahmed Ahmed, Aron Kader and Maz Jobrani. The show started off with three comedians, an Egyptian, a Palestinian and an Iranian, who were all American citizens and caught up in the post 9/11 cultural revolution within the United States. The show then grew in acclaim and turned into a four year international tour and went on to involve even more ‘evil’ comedians including a Korean-Jordanian, and Saudi amateur comedians.

2-      The Arab American Comedy Festival: Starring two New Yorker Comedians: Dean Obeidallah and Maysoon Zayed. Dean and Maysoon were most affected by the events and the media’s scrutiny of Arab Americans post 9/11 due to their proximity to ground zero. The Arab American Comedy Festival was originally started as a single event of cultural understanding but has become so successful that it’s on its eighth year running.

With time, this wave of comedy reached the Middle East through online media channels such as Youtube, through paid subscription satellite TV on shows like the Axis of Evil Show and the Omid Djalili show, and much later through the Axis of Evil comedy tour and other similar shows that went on after people realized that there was a venue and a possibility of comedy shows in the Middle East. We now find a second wave of Middle Eastern comedy starting to rise up again organically through the cracks. This wave is based on Middle Eastern comedians that were born, educated or raised abroad and are now dealing with similar cultural and personality discussions after coming back to live in the Middle East. Their content isn’t as political as the content of the Western based comedians because their struggles are different. Their content is more focused on the liberalization of Middle Eastern society, the opportunities for alternative education (for which there are living proof), and sometimes the honest criticism of the idiosyncrasies that exist within their society such as the unquestionable hatred for the west and its policies all the while being obsessed with western fashion, movies, food, and trendy consumerism.

In closing, weather it is an Arab American who is on stage, or an ‘Americanized’ Arab, the message is the same: Life would be much better everywhere around the world if people of all origins and races were able to get together, laugh together, and better understand each-other.

Humorous Top Ten Lists - How to Hit the Funny Bone

Posted in Internet Redneck Online  by Internet Redneck on June 28th, 2009

Research every top ten topic.

If you skip this crucial step, you will be forced to start every list from square one. And starting from scratch can be very slow and frustrating. Therefore, whenever you attempt to write a humorous top ten list, your number one objective should be to gather as much information about the topic as possible.

The humorous twists come later. At the outset, you need something to twist. And that precious something is information. Without it, you literally won’t know what you’re talking about; or the best ways to poke fun at it.

Conducting a thorough job of research often turns up a considerable amount of inside information that provides precisely the ammunition you need to fire off a few hilarious lines that perfectly fit the topic of your list.

Less words mean more laughs.

When composing funny top ten lists, don’t give your readers too many words to process. Keep each list entry as short as possible. You must ruthlessly pare down each list entry to the absolute minimum number of words that will get your point across.

Extraneous words cause two fundamental problems: First, the extra words lead your readers off on confusing mental tangents. And secondly, readers frequently stumble over the unnecessary words and lose their train of thought. Either way, the end result will be a failure to understand your punch lines.

Remember: You’re not telling jokes! Every list entry must be a solid punch line. A funny top ten list must go bang, bang, bang; without benefit of any additional set-up lines. The title of your list is the only set-up line allowed.

After that, each entry must be totally self-contained, and able to stand on its own merits. Funny top ten lists are like Henny Youngman humor: “Take my wife … please!”

Allow your lists to mellow.

Funny top ten lists share one fundamental truth with every other kind of creative endeavor: your twelfth revision is sure to be better than the previous eleven. The first thoughts that you record are rarely the best that you have to offer. It usually takes a considerable number of rewrites to reveal all the possibilities.

That’s why you should work on a list until you either run out of ideas, or run out of enthusiasm. Then, put the list aside until you once again feel the creative urge. This might take anywhere from several hours to several days.

However, you can be sure of one thing. When you return to the list with a fresh perspective, you are practically guaranteed to find a number of ways in which to improve it.

Don’t beat a dead horse.

This happens all the time; even with experienced comedy writers. You come up with what seems to be a potentially productive idea for a top ten list. You quickly write one or two reasonably good entries; and then … nothing. You have hit a dry humor hole, which can easily develop into a frustrating writer’s block.

Don’t force the issue. Just put the list aside and periodically return to it, in order to see if inspiration will strike you once again. However, you must be prepared to face the very real possibility that certain lists will occasionally defeat you. Most of the time, these are just temporary defeats; which the passage of time, and a little renewed effort, will overcome.

At other times, however, it’s best to simply admit defeat, and just walk away from a problematic list. The unmistakable sign that it’s time to abandon a list is when you simply can not rekindle your original enthusiasm for the task.

On those occasions when you are forced to fold your tent, make sure to salvage the best parts of the abandoned list for use in the creation of future lists. You’ll be amazed to discover how often these odds and ends from abandoned lists turn out to be a perfect fit for lists you compose months or years later.
