Perhaps they are like two different instruments for receiving God's word--one picks up the "irrational", the other the "rational" wavelength. Like photon waves or particles. You know?

I don't know, maaaaan. What are you talking about? As for power, it definitely has rational and irrational faces. Good word.

No, I don't.

One of the most basic differences between Christianity and Islam (Christianity and virtually every other religion, really) is the Trinity. So, for instance, the Christian God begets while Allah does not. That's a straight X vs. ~X situation.

As I pointed out earlier, wave vs. particle is not an X vs. ~X situation.

Which other religion does?

And don't say Hinduism or cite that Arab site again -- as I pointed out earlier, it's just got so many things wrong.

I'm sorry -- none of the other religions mentioned in that article have the Trinity.

Hinduism is the only one that comes close (it's not mentioned in the link you provided) with its Trimurti -- Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. However, the development of this conception is more modern (post-Christian); in the traditional view they are just the three most prominent (and Brahma's prominence is questionable) gods in a pantheon. Even with the modern conception, the view of the Trimurti is modalistic; i.e. the three represent different aspects of the same being rather than a true trinitarianism of multiple personhoods.

What do you mean with 3 aspect of the same being.

Is not that trinity.

No, it isn't. A person can be a manager in the office, a father at home and a defender with his local pub football team. That's not trinitarianism -- it's modalism.

indeed! modalism.

modalism is one man being manifested in 3 different states.

just like Brahma, the creator,
Vishnu, the preserver,
and Shiva (Siva), the destroyer.

all different manifests of Brahman, the hindu's "true god".

Therefore, derivation of modalist views.
