Is "Allah" God?

[other one]

Keith, I agree with Yomo staying away from the Koran and spending a few more years within the Bible. One should not look at those writings until they are very versed in the Bible and very secure in their walk with Jesus.

Mullahs and their (Iran) nukes are the logical outcome of polygamist Warlord Muhammad's "Unholy" Qur'an. It's beyond naivete, crass and deplorable, even a way-station not to Paradise but directly to Hades.

"...but the end thereof is the way of death."

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Allah was the name of the moon god common in that area that Mohammed grew up in. He was influenced by Christians and Jews but never converted and adapted bits and pieces of both religions to his own ideas. He got his inspiration from seizures where he would fall down and foam at the mouth. Sound familiar?

The only reason for a Christian to read the koran is to have ammo to confront the moslems with. It is worthless for anything else.

2Ti 3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

The scripture is the only thing we NEED to know to do everything we need to do.

No, that's false. The closest thing to a "moon god" is Baal. "Allah" is Arabic for "God"...much like "God" is English for "God" but still used by various religions to refer to different Gods (Mormons and Christians both use the term "God" but are refering to two seperate entities).

The religion of Islam has as its focus of worship a deity by the name of "Allah." The Muslims claim that Allah in pre-Islamic times was the biblical God of the Patriarchs, prophets, and apostles. The issue is thus one of continuity. Was "Allah" the biblical God or a pagan god in Arabia during pre-Islamic times? The Muslim's claim of continuity is essential to their attempt to convert Jews and Christians for if "Allah" is part of the flow of divine revelation in Scripture, then it is the next step in biblical religion. Thus we should all become Muslims. But, on the other hand, if Allah was a pre-Islamic pagan deity, then its core claim is refuted. Religious claims often fall before the results of hard sciences such as archeology. We can endlessly speculate about the past or go and dig it up and see what the evidence reveals. This is the only way to find out the truth concerning the origins of Allah. As we shall see, the hard evidence demonstrates that the god Allah was a pagan deity. In fact, he was the Moon-god who was married to the sun goddess and the stars were his daughters.

Leonard and SJ,

I don't think recommending the Quran to a 14 year old is the wisest thing. Yomo, believe me, you're better off not reading it.

Do you know what they mean, Yomo, when they talk about infidels? An "infidel" is someone who does not believe in, rejects, or even doubts in the doctrine of another religion. In this case, what islam is saying, is that anyone who does not accept the islam "religion" should be killed. Not a very loving attitude, I'd say.

Please don't use my age as a looking-down thing.

If I was an adult, it would still be the same.................

Anyway.

I know what an :"infedel" is.

Botz informs me on stuff like that.

The thing is..............

Why did people follow Mohammed willy-nilly into a dumb belief?

[aaronjm]

I know they pray towards mecca, but I'm not quite sure what that's about, I will have to research more on the religion.

RC Sproll said it best, Mohammad, and Jesus Christ shouldn't be uttered in the same breath, there is no comparison between the two. Muslims believe in Jesus, they just saw him as a prophet.

Yomo, I am not looking at your age as a "look down thing." The fact is, there is a certain amount of knowledge and understanding that naturally happen as you get older. At 14 you are not going to have the same understanding of many things that adults do. It wasn't an insult. It's just a fact of life.

[Micah68]

There is only one God. Some people call Him Allah. There are truths and there are falsities in the Muslim religion. Many Muslims that I have met love God more and are living a more righteous life than some Christians. The Koran says that the Jews are the people of the book. True Muslims would therefore love Jews rather than kill them. They have commandments just like we have. I have spoken to Muslims about the terrorist kind of people and a lot of them don't understand that because they have commandments against suicide. I think a lot of the fanaticism comes from human additions to whatever they originally believed. That doesn't mean that I think that Islam is a wonderful religion. I'm just saying that not all Muslims are fanatics. Some are righteous, god-fearing people.

Jehovah is God. Nowhere in the Word does it mention Allah as God. Having said that, I want share something with all, very briefly. A while back (2 to 3 years) I received a book which contained the basic beliefs of different religions. I had lost my way to an extent so to speak. As I read about Islam, I realized how false it was. This was the part that proved it to me. It said that heaven to the Islamic man meant x number of virigins. I knew then and realized that the Lord had lead me to this to show me how false Islam is. I thought how nice for the man. Then it dawned on me that a man had to come up with that one. Our Lord says that with Him there is no male or female. Now, that's my Jehovah God!!! .......jmh137
