Yesterday we looked at Tawḥīd (Absolute Monotheism).

Ṣhirk, that is polytheism or associating partners with God, may be considered it's opposite.

It has many categories, but they can be collapsed into three:

#theology101
1) Association with His essence.

For example, to attribute things like being Pre-Eternal, Creator, or Sustainer to other than Allah, the Exalted.

2) Association with His attributes. All His attributes are - like Him - Pre-Eternal and are not shared with anyone.
3) Association in worship. To revere, or to worship someone other than Allah, the Exalted, whether that be with one's heart, body, or by the tongue.

Three things. 1. If you’re using the Bible to try and control your children with shame and fear, you’re doing it wrong (both parenting and biblical interpretation)...
2. Jesus is the ultimate “Anointed One” who responded to rebellion with “Father, forgive them.” Then he quashed that rebellion not through violent revenge but through his own death & resurrection. Either Jesus is the final word on this, or his work is insufficient. #Theology101
3. The argument “do not challenge God’s anointed” is often invoked to protect unqualified, abusive, or authoritarian pastors/leaders. Don’t fall for it.
