Jamie Raskin (Maryland) to Candidate D. Trump and JD Vance (GOP)

Raskin - Trump transition agreement article at THE HILL dot-com

(October 25, 2024)

In rebuttal to Trump saying that

he "had a peaceful transfer of

power" after losing the 2020

election and Jan. 6 insurrection

+ failing to show up for 2021

inauguration for new POTUS,

Raskin wrote in a letter to both

candidates for 2025 (POTUS 45

and VP):

Alas, your recent

public statements and

your conduct 4 years ago

provide cold comfort to

the American people, who

have sought to create

continuity and legitimacy

in the transition between

administrations."

Unknown origin of quotation

Jude verse 18

for they said unto you

In the Last Times, there will be scoffers . . .

Raymond E. Brown in his chapter of

Introduction to the New Testament (Anchor

Bible Reference series volume) suggests that

No such passage is preserved in the canonical

books of the New Testament (27: from Gosp.

Matthew to Revelation to John)

so the writer seemingly is drawing on a

wider Christian tradition, just as he drew

upon a wider Israelite tradition (quotations

from I Enoch and Testament of Moses 7:7,9)

wider than the OT (I.e. Tanak = Torah, Nebi'im,

Kethubim).

rally (James R.Hallford Stadium)

Letter of Jude (transl. NRSV updated Edition)

EXCERPT (verses 1-2; 17-25)

Jude (or JUDAS), a servant of 

Jesus Christ and brother of James,

TO THOSE who are called,

who are beloved in God the Father

and kept safe for Jesus Christ:

May mercy, peace, and love

be yours in abundance!

But you, beloved, must remember

the words previously spoken

by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus

Christ, for they said to you,

In the last time there will be scoffers,

indulging their own ungodly lusts.

It is these worldly people, devoid

of the Spirit, who are causing 

divisions.  But you, beloved,

build yourselves up on your most

holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit;

keep yourselves in the love of God;

look forward to the mercy of our

Lord Jesus Christ that leads to 

eternal life.  And have mercy on

some who are wavering!  Save 

others by snatching them out of

the fire;

and have mercy on still others

with fear, hating even the tunic

defiled by their bodies.

Now to Him who is able to keep you

from falling and to make you stand 

without blemish in the presence of his

glory with rejoicing,

to the only God our Savior, through

Jesus Christ our Lord, be

glory, majesty, power, and

authority, before all time and

now and forever. Amen!

Whether Jews, Christians, Muslims worship the same God?

THESIS STATEMENT of his 2020 book

Reference and Identity in Jewish, Christian, & Muslim Scriptures

(Lexington Books) AUTHOR is D.E. Buckner

mid-paragraph page 15

Thus, I answer the question

of this book, whether Jews,

Muslims, and Christians

worship the same God.

All have the same singular

conception of God, because

the three texts (the Hebrew

Bible, the New Testament,

the Qur'an) are in a sense

one.  Both the New Testament

and the Qur'an complete (&

sometimes aim to correct)

the text on which they are

based,and it is this fact 

(alone) that provides a 

common understanding of the

proper name "God". . .

because they themselves aren't undocumented

immigrants, or part of the "fake news media"

of disloyal or anyone else whom Trump casts

as the "enemy within" -- are deluding themselves.
