I don't think it was a progression, more like a maturity of people's thoughs making the time ripe for the message to be sent by god. I don't think god can send the pharoas cellular phones as miracles, they wouldn't even start to comprehend what hit them.
I do not believe peoples minds were in the period of Christianity nor Islam (Judaism is a bit different though since it isnt "consciously created" as far as we can know) at a certain level where they could coprehend the message of God , and to prove this I have 2 religions that asses emotional reactions as their vary basics : Fait , Hope , Fear etc .
But I think a significant difference in your way of thinking and mine , is that I do not consider the word of God any different than Intelligence within Science . And as far as that goes , Kemet as well as Babylon , as well as the Maya or as other anicent tribes , had a significant ammount of knowledge compared to even today . Cellular phones to do not resemblance intelligence , there is hardly any person who can actually explain how each and every proces of the creation and the function of this celular phone . It is technology , there is a great differnce between the technology of a people and its intelligence . The Kemetians didnt have even invented the wheel , yet they create the sphinx ? Yet they understood mathematics ? But ofcourse the difference between individuals intelligence and collective intelligence is immense as well , such a thing shouldnt be left out .
Same for knowledge, there was a natural progression of theology, but it was wrong, so when the time was ripe, the message was revealed to Mekkah, which was not influenced by state of the art knowledge to a prophet who was illiterate.
So u understand that I do not agree on this "natural progression" , not only based on the knowledge I have on the midevil people (Although the Arabs Intellect was way more complex than the Euro's) , but also on what this theology has become today . I do not even consider it theology , when the first statement is we cant know God . How the Theos have Logos if Logos is human reason . I dont agree with Muhammad getting "the message" revealed , since"i dont really see a "the" in the message , but that is because as far as I understand this message , I understand it in a linguistical sense , the same as the Bible . This way , I consider a message like the I-Ching or the Tao Te Ching to be of far far greater superiority than the modern theologic reasoning on "the message of God" , be it the Bible or the Qu'ran . And as far as the revealing goes , i do not believe the literal intepretation of Gabriel sended by Allah , Allah is not some guy sitting on a cloud sending flying dead people to Muhammad telling him this or that . Perhaps because of our different understanding of the concept of God , Theos Logos , you wont agree with me on the irellevance of the Illiteracy of Muhammad and the word of God being created .
Allah, are you suggesting that Moses, Jesus, and Mohamed really got their knowledge by sitting in the city cafes, and never really communicated with god? Because your claim that greek methology and Egyptian methology have something to do with Bible and Koran truly implies that either the prophet are cheating or god is cheating from a misely human.
No I am Not , I agree with you that IF they're scriptures are honorable (something whitch is only potential to me since I have no proper understanding of any of them , for the Bible for instance , i find the God concept the saddest ever , IF I am to take the text literary without some sort of symbolic formula to translate the text into new meanings) , IF , then they Indeed communicated with God . The Qu'ran as I see it is most definitly heavy potential to be an amazing communication with God , but in the first place Muhammad did not write the Qu'ran , he only told stories . Scientists/Artists wrote the Qu'ran , and perhaps through the knowledge of Muhammad , and through their own intelligence , they indeed achieved communication with God . To me talking to God is talking to oneselves highest form of intelligence , it is not by far mr who sits on a cloud . Nihilism is all what you will find if you approach God through religion . So i dont consider Muhammad attaining his knowledge by sitting in cafe's chatting about the Greeks , but by perhaps meditation , visions , who knows many ways to attain knowledge , perhaps he took a rock and logically concluded its essence , something hardly any people could ever do......further than Nihilism .
So i dont imply any Prophet of cheating (cheating is what the theologists and religious historians have been doing for ages to keep man understanding the concept of God by making him say wishfull thoughts and bow down 5 times a day without even knowing to who man is bowing , and accepting this and even dying in the name of the unknown ) , I imply i misunderstanding of Theology and Mythology (if u think for a moment both are the same , while one of them is hilarious and the other widely accepted) , I imply the lie that is called religion and history .
As I said before , quoting the chased and punished and tortured the great sufi master Al Halaj : "Ana Al Haq"
Religion is that what put this greta man in prison after sharing true knowledge , knowledge that did not depend on faith , hope and fear , but knowledge that gave emotions its proper place not making THEM God . Faith , Fear and Hope are no Gods of mine .
Interestingly , Qaballah and Sufism (who both have its roots in a combination of Babylonic Science and Kemetian "Mythology") in its deepest and most profounds forms , do not accept this astral concept of God , but regard God as the most perfect concept of existence , the ultimate supreme being . Living in the relative world we live in , God is only that what is potential , and God is what is attempted by Mankind when they try to live "righteous" .
I always found it fascinating how traditional theology aolways combines epirstemology , ontology , aesthetics & ethics ....while logics shows us theology to be about the saddest attempt of understanding life EVER . How could such an interesting concept be so weak ?
Only it can be when its misrepresented and misinterpreted on an amazing level , and thats when we end up with religion .
Isnt it interesting how the greatest anathema in religion ever , is KNOWLEDGE ?
And that brings me to you calling me Allah , is that not about the worst thing a today's muslim could ever do ? And thats where the error is the deepest .
The whole concept of 1 is irellevant in its modern understanding . Its is not like Allah is one in the sense that there is one God , instead of Allah & God & Ilohim & YHWH etc.......it is about ethe completeness of a system : There is one X(lets call that God),within this specified we will find 1 solar system , 1 planet , 1 people , 1 person .
1 is merely 1 when its pasrt of a system , that system is a as well , as it is part of a system etc...we end up with the unmoved mover , Allah . Not a starter , but that what makes complete .
10 is simply 1+0 . And 1+0 contains 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 . Its the whole reason why we stop at 1(0) , and not at 9 . If so , Allah was 9 . But he isnt .
