It "says", in the context of Islam, that Jesus was sent by the Abrahamic God. That's quite a contrast from Judaism.
I've been clear that Jesus is the central point in all the big disputes. You being an
anti-Christ, are more than likely very aware of the points of the Christian faith your
rejection has to do with Jesus.

No one is disputing that Christianity is different from Islam and that Judaism is different too. The issue is whether the "attributes" of the Abrahamic God figure are more or less the same in all three traditions given that they share so much ancient literature.
You could make the same claim about some of the attributes of any number of
different belief systems, the main focus is always going to Jesus Christ; without
the Son you lose.

You are missing the point, KellyJay. Rather than "Attributes of God", perhaps you should have called the thread "Attributes of the God KellyJay Believes In". Doing so would have made you seem like you were actually trying to start a conversation in good faith.

Not really, KellyJay. I am only talking about the Abrahamic God. What "any number of different belief systems" do you have in mind?

I was speaking to the three major belief systems in the world the OT is shared by
Christian and Jewish beliefs, the NT is additional to the OT, but that isn't recognized
those who only hold to OT. The OT points to Jesus, and the NT confirms Him, He
is central in both, so Jesus is the difference if one recognizes how the OT points to
Him or not, He is there, the difference while remaining the same.
Ok. If that’s the case, then so be it.

Have you every had feedback about your written communication skills?

Jesus is the redeemer, the exact representation of the Father, the Word of God
through whom all things were created and have their being, the Son of man,
I AM, the propitiation, light of the world, the way, truth, life, the faithful witness.
Jesus is as the Word of God is the "SAID" in "God said," God is everlasting to
everlasting, the beginning and the end, faithful and true, almighty, all-knowing.
Jesus is our Sabbath rest where we can stop struggling to please God since we
are accepted fully and completely as we enter Him. God is the one who does
to judge us by what His eyes, sees, or ears hear; He judges us in righteousness.
Jesus is the embodiment of God made into a man so we could grasp God in
ways we could relate to and understand because God is so much more than we
can understand, being so much more than we are.

How could we think enough about God from our perspective and grasp someone
who is timeless, eternal, all-knowing, all-powerful, that transcends time and space;
if He didn't reach down to us, could we ever reach Him on our own?

It is all in good faith.

I made a mistake by leaving the word “not” out of it point. God does NOT judge us by what His eyes see, or His ears hear, but by righteousness.

You can bring that charge to any conversation, to any judgment call on any subject.

God is good an attribute foundational to Him, God doesn’t change so the goodness of God is always is true. He isn’t fickle so that some times He is good and other times not so much,

So if a child who is given a genetic predetermination to having a brain tumour ( given by your god, since according to you your god is in complete control of all such things) , dies in agony at the age of three, this is a 'good' thing, is it?

I said God is good, and everything He does is good, but that does not mean
everything that happens will be good. God's righteousness is also in play, and
allowing us to do what we will is part of the fruit of our actions put into
motion so that several things we do will lead to very bad, even evil, results.

Cursing the earth because we were in charge of it, cursing us because of what
we did, and having that play out shows us what happens when we run afoul of
God's ways and takes upon ourselves our desires anyway we want to take them.

Prone to happy accidents.
Has a better sense of humor than many of the little critters.
Monstrous yet considerate, respectful, and restrained.
Lavish yet modest, perhaps even shy.
The Cosmic Mother, somewhat tortured (as creatives often are), always in labor and always both delighted and suffering.
Completely misunderstood.

1 Corinthians 15:26
The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

Did you see that I replied to him? God is good, outside of God there is all manner
of evil and things that shouldn't be, death is an enemy, and one that is going to
be dealt with. There are many things which we count as things loved, things our
affections shouldn't' be attached to because of the end result they bring about
is death.
