" Fathers " means ancestors, and includes uncles, grand-uncles, as well as direct ascendants. " You shall not be asked about what they used to do. " On the Day of Judgment each soul would have to answer for its own deeds : Here the argument is : if the Jews or Christians claim the merits of Father Abraham and Patriarchs or of Jesus, we cannot follow them. Because there were righteous people in the past, it cannot help us unless we are ourselves righteous. The doctrine of personal responsiblity is a cardinal feature of Truth. Inclined to right opinion, orthodox in the literal meaning of the Greek words, firm in faith, sound and well-balanced, true. Perhaps the last word, True, sums up most of the other shades. The Jews, though taught Unity, went after false gods, and the Christains invented the Trinity or borrowed it from Paganism. We go back to the pure doctrine of Abraham, to live and die in faith in the One True God.......
