Breitbart: Jake Tapper Falsely Tranlates 'allahu akbar'
 

Quote

CNN’s Jake Tapper, who is already dealing with humiliating ratings and a reputation implosion, decided to put on a public spectacle Wednesday over the criticism of his blatantly inappropriate and misleading comments surrounding the Islamic cry of “Allahu Akbar.”

In the immediate aftermath of Tuesday’s terror attack, the worst in New York City since September 11, 2001, for some bizarre reason, Tapper felt the self-righteous need to say this: “The Arabic chant, Allahu Akbar, God is great, sometimes said under the most beautiful of circumstances, and too often we hear it being said in moments like this.”

Let us begin with the misleading part.

“Allahu Akbar” does not mean “God is great.” It means, “Allah is greater.”

The left-wing CNN also misinterpreted this in a chyron.

And the difference is all the difference.

As Breitbart News has reported, “Allahu Akbar” is the “aggressive declaration that Allah and Islam are dominant over every other form of government, religion, law or ethic, which is why Islamic jihadists in the midst of killing infidels so often shout it.”

In other words, “Allahu Akbar” is not some benign chant declaring “God is great.” Rather, it is a belligerent cry of religious and cultural supremacism.

Did anyone ever consider what it might have been like to have something like CNN during WWII?

"Banzai" is just a friendly greeting . . . 

"Sieg Heil" means "we love everybody . . . "

Of course, back then CNN wouldn't have been too popular since American journalists actually rooted for Americans.  I guess they were just funny that way.

Blessings,

He said, 'the Father is greater than I' (in function); but for dying for our sins, in human terms, He is the Greatest!!! Yaaaa!

The Father let him...  but since Jesus didn't think it was anything to grasp being as great or greater than the father, he surely won't hold it against me for understanding his position. I think you added that (in function) part by the way.

I do get your point though.....

Especially since they are co-equal and co-eternal.

But they won't be co equal when all their enemies have been made their footstool.  They are equal now because the Father made it so...  says so in 1 Corinthians 15:28

If God the Father and God the Son and God the Holy Spirit had a fight...  only ONE would win!

It doesn't say the Father in that passage it says God. They are eternally co-equal, co-eternal. If there is any submission to one another amongst the Persons of the Trinity it is done voluntarily, not because one is 'lesser' than the other.

1 Cor 15:28
then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him
NASB
Actually it says that he will be fubjected to the one who subjected all things to him.....   context to me is speaking of the Father    but,  if it fits your beliefs better then go for it....

They will always be co-equal.  Jesus was always submitted to the Father and yet co-equal and co-eternal because they are both equally God.   Jesus is not less than God simply because He is subordinate in rank to the Father in the Godhead.  All three, Father, Son and Holy Spirit are co-equal and co-eternal.  It's basic, ground-level theology.
