Reflections on Mohammedanism during Easter

SK writes about Mohammedanism and agrees with Rosenkranz that Mohammedanism is "abstract monotheism" and sees "God as one." While Judaism he says is "concretized monotheism" and that is why God is "I am who I am." (Exodus 3:14). He then compares it to Christianity. He says that in Mohammedanism everything "stops" at the half-way point since it does not go beyond its abstract point of departure." The relationship can best be described in the symbol that Mohammedans use themselves: "the moon, which borrows its light from the sun," that is, from Christianity.

SK quotes Galatians 3:20 where Paul writes: "Now a mediator is not for one party only; whereas God is only one."

In other words, the law given to Judaism was mediated through angels and Moses, and the covenant with Abraham was given directly by God (Gen 15:12). The presence of a mediator assumes two parties, and the need for a mediator shows the inferiority of the law.

And as Christians, who was our mediator? Jesus Christ (1 Tim. 2:5). And, he now stands before God completely able to mediate for you with God. This is the outcome of belief. We now have the mediator of a new covenant. This is because Jesus rose from the dead after paying our debt to God for us. By believing in Him, he is our mediator. If God is "One" then there is no mediator.
