Christians do not understand the point of departure between the dark-ages residue of Genesis 17:12 and the understanding found in the Gospel Thomas, at line #4. Serendipitously and accidentally, the most cogent observation of all Islam is an admonition against ascribing a partner to God; the error of Genesis 1:26. The conventional religious experience (the speaker-audience construct) is a regressive experience for mankind; utterly free of the conveyance of life skills. Even, in Christianity, missing the aforementioned mark.
