The "Allah ain't really God" argument is exceptionally silly.
Jipsa, did you read the paper I made reference to?
If you have a classic 65 Mustang and add Porche parts to it wherever you can. Is it still a classic 65 Mustang?
I say no. It is a mutilated version of a 65 Mustang.
So if you apply to G-d (which is absolute truth) aspects which are clearly false, do you still have absolute truth?
I don't care what the Muslim intention is. I care about the truth.
Your poison analogy proves my point. Because you dress up some poison (Allah), and make it look like a favorite drink, G-d, does that mean it is really G-d? NO its poison.
And to further the point. If you add poison to your favorite drink, then you compromise the integrity of the favorite drink and it is no longer pure, and no longer can be defined as a "favorite drink". It may look, tase, and smell like your favorite drink, but in REALITY...IN TRUTH, it is NOT your favorite drink.
So, some dumb Muslim thinks Allah (what they worship and murder in the name of) is G-d. That doesn't make it G-d. That makes it an error (and a deadly one at that).
It is truthful to say:
When a Muslim says "Allah", he or she means G-d.
It is an entirely different thing to say "Allah" is G-d, just in a different language.
What IS truth, and what is perceived as truth are often two different things. And the argument is not silly.
Apocalypse2007,
I didn't state my religious orientation to create an argument. I did so merely to be upfront about the person making the post.
I thought this was a thread about <b>The Root Cause of Islamic Terrorism is the Quran... </b>
Now, I don't know anything about Satans or Lambs or anti-whatever, but I do know a little something about the purpose of the Third Temple, it's physical construction, and what is expected to occur there.
I suggest a short study of what the innermost chamber of the Temple is for. And please find out what the Shechina is. It will be quite interesting and contribute to the education of anyone interested in Jewish or Christian studies.
Interesting note:
During the time of the 2nd Holy Temple. The intention of the high priest was compromised and they would seek the position for prestiege and not for the service of G-d. Since nobody except that one man was permitted in the Holy of Holies (innermost chamber), if he died there, nobody could go in to retrieve him. So, a rope was tied to the ankle of the priest.
The priests of the 2nd Temple were dragged out from the Holy of Holies as corpses.
