THIS IS WHY WE CALL THIS EXHIBITION: 'SPIRIT AND LIFE'.  At a time when the forces of exclusion, alienation, and separation can often seem so threatening in our world, I AM CONVINCED THAT OUR ABILITY TO HONOR AUTHENTIC SYMBOLS OF PRIDE AND IDENTITY - AND TO SHARE THEIR BEAUTY AND THEIR POWER WITH ONE ANOTHER - CAN BE A TREMENDOUS FORCE FOR GOOD.

[emphasis added, ali kenadian]   The Prince of Wales A speech by HRH The Prince of Wales at the opening of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture’s the ‘Spirit & Life’ Exhibition at the Ismaili Centre 12th July 2007 Your Highness, Ladies and Gentlemen. I cannot tell you what a pleasure it is for my wife and I to join you this afternoon in celebrating THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS HIGHNESS THE AGA KHAN’S SUCCESSION TO THE IMAMAT. It is, if I may say so, London’s great good fortune that His Highness has chosen to open HIS GOLDEN JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS WITH THE ‘SPIRIT AND LIFE’ EXHIBITION which my wife and I have just seen – we had to drag ourselves away from it! I understand that this is the first time these masterpieces of Islamic art have been seen in London. They are of quite exceptional historical importance and beauty. But, perhaps still more importantly, they also convey the clearest possible message about the close ties between the Abrahamic Faiths. For example, the magnificent Eleventh Century Canon of Medicine, which originated in Iran, was equally indispensable to Western scholars for the better part of five hundred years. And it was fascinating when I was recently at the British Library to see there in fact another fascinating exhibition called ‘Sacred’, which another very dramatic demonstration of the close way in which these faiths have been so close for so long. So much attention is paid to the outward differences between Faiths. Almost reflexively, this becomes translated into seemingly impenetrable divisions between people; people who – if they did but know it – are in fact linked by much and separated by rather little. How refreshing it is, then, to be reminded by this marvellous exhibition of the spirituality from which our Faiths draw their real strength, and of the heritage and traditions which we share.     Chapter 54. Jewish Sects. " For when the rising of Christ was at hand for the abolition of sacrifices, and for the bestowal of the grace of baptism, the enemy, understanding from the predictions that the time was at hand, wrought various schisms among the people, that, if haply it might be possible to abolish the former sin, the latter fault might be incorrigible. The first schism, therefore, was that of those who were called Sadducees, which took their rise almost in the time of John. ....  The scribes also, and Pharisees, are led away into another schism; but these, being baptized by John, and holding the word of truth received from the tradition of Moses as the key of the kingdom of heaven, have hid it from the hearing of the people. Luke 11:52 Yea, some even of the disciples of John, who seemed to be great ones, have separated themselves from the people, and proclaimed their own master as the Christ.   compare   THE  FALSE  ALLEGATION/CHARGE THE MANY FACES OF JESUS IN THE MEDIEVAL GOSPEL OF BARNABAS Dr Rod Blackhirst [email protected]; [email protected];   he to whom John is forerunner -  that is redundant   The most immediately striking feature of Barnabas' portrayal of Jesus is that, throughout,  the author is intent on conflating Jesus with the canonical portraits of John the Baptist. ....  This means that John the Baptist - the canonical forerunner of Jesus the Messiah -  is effectively redundant and does not play a named role in the narrative.  On the other hand, traditions, motifs, words, attitudes and other narrative components given to John in the canonical accounts;  are here appropriated by Barnabas' Jesus so that it is really the canonical Messianic Jesus -  he to whom John is forerunner -  that is redundant. In the past, and to a great extent still today, it has been considered only in the context of Muslim-Christian polemic. It is important to remove it from that arena and start a serious assessment of its contents in the broader context of Christian apocrypha.   Isaiah 40:3 A voice of one calling: “In the desert[1*] prepare the way [singular] for the Lord[1a]; make straight in the wilderness[2*] a highway [singular] for our God[2a].

The two interpretations of Baca, viz., "lack of stream" and "the valley of weeping" appears to fit in the context of pilgrimage to Bakkah, the older name of Makkah where the Ka'bah is situated.

The circumstances which have given rise to our gathering are well known. I have already had occasion to dwell upon them in the course of the past week. In this particular context,  I should like to reiterate today all the esteem and the profound respect that I have for Muslim believers, calling to mind the words of the Second Vatican Council which for the Catholic Church are the Magna Carta of Muslim-Christian dialogue:   "The church looks upon Muslims with respect. They worship the ONE GOD LIVING and subsistent, merciful and almighty, creator of heaven and earth, who has spoken to humanity and to whose decrees, even the hidden ones, they seek to submit themselves wholeheartedly, just as Abraham, to whom the Islamic faith readily relates itself, submitted to God" ("Nostra Aetate," 3). Dear friends, I pray with my whole heart that the merciful God will guide our steps along the paths of an ever more authentic mutual understanding. At this time when for Muslims the spiritual journey of the month of Ramadan is beginning, I address to all of them my cordial good wishes, praying that the Almighty may grant them serene and peaceful lives. May the God of peace fill you with the abundance of his blessings, together with the communities that you represent.   CHAPTER ONE   THE CATHOLIC CHURCH’S TEACHING WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL   Within this context of the Abrahamic tradition, Massignon urged Christians to recognise the Qur’an as an authentic religious mystical source, since, according to him, the Qur’an is in line with the Old and New Testament confirming their truth. The Qur’anic confirmation of the virgin birth of Jesus and veneration of Jesus and his mother Mary led Massignon to reach this conclusion. What attracted Massignon in the Qur’an was its assertion that there is grace in human history and that  Mary and Jesus are signs of God. In this it takes no advantage for itself.   According to Massignon, the Qur’an, as a revelation transmitted to Muhammad by the angel, operates as a mediator between God and human beings.[27]             Concerning the Prophet Muhammad, Massignon dismissed the belief that Muhammad was the ‘anti-Christ’ as certain sections of the Church had presented him in the past.[28] He emphasised the sincerity of Muhammad, noting the following points as proofs. In Mecca, he received revelation to preach. He behaved like a prophet and tried to explore the unity [Oneness] of God. In Medina, he established such foundations as ritual prayer. He rejected the Jewish claims concerning Jesus by confirming his virgin birth. He saved Ishmael from being excluded from the divine promise. Although Massignon acknowledged that Muhammad was a true and sincere prophet, he considered his role in this prophethood to be that of a prophete negatif, in the sense that he denies God being more than what he affirms him to be.[29] Thus, Massignon contributed to the Copernican shift in the Christian attitude towards Islam by insisting on the need to move “from mission to dialogue” in Christian theology. [30] In this sense, he meant that "instead of  viewing Islam from outside, and 'attacking it tooth and nail', one must situate oneself, 'by a Copernican revolution, at the very centre of Islam, there where that spark of truth dwells from which all the rest is invisibly and mysteriously sustained'".[31] [27]  Pierre Rocalve, Louis Massignon et L’Islam (Damas: Institut Francais De Damas), 1993,  pp. 37-43.

The settlements push the total amount paid out by the U.S. church since 1950 to more than $2 billion, with about a quarter of that coming from the Los Angeles archdiocese.   Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger A secret document which sets out a procedure for dealing with child sex abuse scandals within the Catholic Church is examined by Panorama. Crimen Sollicitationis was enforced for 20 years by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger before he became the Pope. This document was reissued in 2001 by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and sent to all bishops. Yet rather than ordering more openness and cooperation with the authorities as demanded by both law enforcers and the victims, he reiterated its policies and ensured that the Code of Silence be applied to all cases of child abuse involving a priest. Cardinal Ratzinger also instructed that all cases should now be referred to his office directly and that he would maintain 'exclusive competence' over the handling of allegations. This is the Catholic Church's policy to this day and Cardinal Ratzinger is now Pope Benedict XVI. It instructs bishops on how to deal with allegations of child abuse against priests and has been seen by few outsiders. Critics say the document has been used to evade prosecution for sex crimes.

[5 x 3] & [7 x 1]   Alaha Arabic اﷲ Allāh Alaha ( ܐܠܗܐ Alâhâ [eastern], Ālōho [western], אלהא Elaha) means "god" in Aramaic. It is cognate to Northwest Semitic ’ēl and Akkadian ilu. The word is from a Proto-Semitic archaic biliteral ʾ-l meaning "god" (possibly with a wider meaning of "strong"), which was extended to a regular triliteral by the addition of a h (as in Hebrew אלוה Eloah and Arabic اﷲ Allāh).   [edit] New Testament Alaha (specifically the form אלהי or elâhi; "my God") is transliterated in the Greek New Testament as ελοι (eloi). This is due to Greek phonology only allowing an "h" sound at the beginning of a word.   context ==> connotation ==> MAKE THE CONNECTION   ARAB  .GOD - . with art ... of the true God H426 אלהּ 'ĕlâhh el-aw' (Chaldee); corresponding to H433; God: - God, god.   Eloi,1682 Eloi,1682 G1682 ἐλοΐ́ elōi el-o-ee' Of Chaldee origin ([H426] with pronoun suffix); my God: - Eloi.   H433 אלהּ אלוהּ 'ĕlôahh 'ĕlôahh el-o'-ah, el-o'-ah (The second form is rare); probably prolonged (emphatically) from H410; a deity or the deity: - God, god.

The Aramaic version of the Gospels, which is said to be the language Jesus Christ (Ppuh) spoke, the Aramaic Gospels uses the root "hl0" (read from right to left) in place of the English word "God" used in the English translation. The pronunciation of "hl0" is "AaLaH" or "Alah"*. Jesus Christ (Ppuh) called God, "AaLaH"* In Hebrew "God" is "'eloahh"**. The Arabic pronunciation of "'eloahh" is "Allah". Example: The word "servant" in Hebrew is "'ebed", in Arabic, servant is "Abed", or "Abd". The BLB (Blue Letter Bible) links the Hebrew word "'eloahh" directly to the Arabic word "Allah", in its root and its meaning as "The True God", it even shows the word "'eloahh" in the Arabic alphabets, which is "Allah", for those of you who read Arabic. As a matter of fact, it also shows the word "'eloahh" in the Aramaic alphabets, which is "AaLaH", and it looks almost the same as in the Arabic alphabets. To see this on the BLB website, search for Hebrew Strong's 0433, or it's Majesty plural 0430. Read under "Hebrew Lexicon". You might need to click on "more" to see all copy. Christians and Jews who speak the Arabic language also use the word "Allah" to refer to the God they worship. "Allah" is also used in the Arabic versions of the Bible (in the Old and the New Testaments) replacing the word "God" in the English versions. the above pluralistic meanings are all lost in one for all translation viz.,  GODG2316 θεός theos theh'-os  in the new testament.

Blackhirst JHC 7/1 (Spring 2000), 1-22.   Barnabas with Matthew MATTHIAS/Matthew/Barsabbas/Barnabas -- it is evident that our extant sources are giving somewhat garbled versions of a common sub-stratum of stories involving this group of names. The two lists, with their Gospels of Matthias and Barnabas grouped together, participate in the same tradition of associations.  The grouping of Matthias and Barnabas reminds us of Matthias and Barsabbas in Acts,  which reminds us of Matthias and Barnabas in the Clementina,  and both of these in turn remind us of Matthew and Barnabas in other sources.  Curiously, in the medieval Gospel of Barnabas we find these associations again.   In the list of disciples found in chapter 14 of the work (in both manuscripts) the supposed author, Barnabas, lists himself as "he who writes with Matthew."14 Disciples are commonly grouped into pairs. In the canonical lists Matthew's pair is Thomas. In the medieval gospel "Barnabas" is paired "with Matthew" and Thomas is omitted.  The very idea that Barnabas is one of the Twelve, as it appears in the medieval work, is reminiscent of the Ebionite claim that Barnabas defeated Matthias for the position left vacant by Judas.15   Is the author of the medieval Barnabas following the New Testament and grouping together two Levites (taking Matthias and Matthew to be interchangeable) or does the grouping of "he who writes with Matthew" point to a stronger participation in the complex of associations between the two names, especially as these two names are connected with the transmission of the primitive "Jewish gospel"? 14 The list of disciples reads: "Their names are: Andrew and Peter his brother, Barnabas, who wrote this with Matthew the publican, who sat at the receipt of custom; John and James, sons of Zebedee; Thaddaeus and Judas; Bartholomew and Philip, James, and Judas Iscariot the traitor." 15 Although, of course, in the Clementina Barnabas still does not meet Jesus in person, as Barnabas does in the medieval gospel.   rest assured, this is a deliberate lie and distortion of material facts and false evidence, which no court of law will accept from R. Blackhirst.    makes a persuasive case for the pre-islamic gospel of barnabas by ignoring and excluding ALL THE HARD EVIDENCE   (Romans 3:7 KJV) For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?     the pre-islamic evidence disregarded and discarded 19-NINETEEN THE EXILE OF JESUS TO DAMASCUS  IN THE MEDIEVAL GOSPEL OF BARNABAS  Rod Blackhirst  La Trobe University  Bendigo, Austrailia  At length Jesus persuades them to fast for 19-NINETEEN days,  atheistalliance.org/jhc/articles/BlackhirstDamascus.pdf   Rome (Romans 1:15 KJV)  So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.   compare or Tertius?  (Romans 16:22 KJV)  I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.  G5060 Τέρτιος Tertios ter'-tee-os Of Latin origin; third; Tertius, a Christian: - Tertius   Rome With Clement also - Supposed to be the same who was afterwards bishop of Rome, and who wrote an epistle to the Corinthians, which is still extant. Clement — bishop of ROME shortly after the death of Peter and Paul. His Epistle from the Church of ROME to the Church of Corinth is extant. It makes no mention of the supremacy of the See of Peter. He was the most eminent of the apostolical fathers. Alford thinks that the Clement here was a Philippian, and not necessarily Clement, bishop of Rome. But Origen [Commentary, Joh_1:29] identifies the Clement here with the bishop of ROME   Other sources Other sources bring Barnabas to ROME and Alexandria.  In the "Clementine Recognitions" (i, 7)  he is depicted as preaching  IN ROME EVEN DURING CHRIST'S LIFETIME, and Clement of Alexandria (Stromata, ii, 20) MAKES HIM ONE OF THE SEVENTY DISCIPLES that are mentioned in the Gospel of Luke.   THE PRIMAL ISLAMIC TEACHINGS & PRACTICES THEREOF; the gospel of barnabas; and the recent/COLLABORATIVE biblical archeological discoveries; SEPARATED BY MILLENNIUMS   (Mark 4:33 RV) And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it: (Mark 4:34 RV) and without a parable spake he not unto them: but PRIVATELY to his own disciples HE EXPOUNDED ALL THINGS.   Barnabas says MYSTICALLY the apostolic Barnabas (and he was one of the seventy, [2397] "Children of love and PEACE,"  he called them GNOSTICALLY.

[2349] And how we say that the powers of the devil, and the unclean spirits, sow into the sinner's soul, requires no more words from me, on adducing as a witness the apostolic Barnabas (and he was one of the seventy, [2397] and a fellow-worker of Paul), who speaks in these words: "Before we believed in God, the dwelling-place of our heart was unstable, truly a temple built with hands. For it was full of idolatry, and was a house of demons, through doing what was opposed to God."
