Zone1 Arab Christians pray to Allah, because Allah is the Arab word for God

[The Irish Ram]

When I use the German word Gott instead of the English word God, am I then not a true Christian?

It depends Z, how often do you say Gottessohn?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

You understand nothing

Now go and tell the Arabian Christians that the make a bad mistake when they use the word Allah for God.

If they pray to Allah they are not Christians.

 

[Zebra]

If they pray to Allah they are not Christians.

They are

 

[EvilCat Breath]

They are

To you.

 

[The Irish Ram]

They are

Here is how you know they are not the same God. One has a Son. The other takes pride in saying that he does not have a son. How do you amalgamate that...

Are there two different Gods?

 

[The Irish Ram]

Are there two different Gods?

Nope. Just this one:

Isaiah 44: 6 Thus says the LORD, the King and Redeemer of Israel, the LORD of Hosts: “I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God but Me.

 

[The Irish Ram]

They are

If they were the same, the Quran and the Bible would be the same...

 

[ding]

Nope. Just this one:

Isaiah 44: 6 Thus says the LORD, the King and Redeemer of Israel, the LORD of Hosts: “I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God but Me.

Then your argument rings hollow. Because which other God would there be to pray to?

 

[The Irish Ram]

The first commandment says, "There shall be no other Gods before me."
The God you and I celebrate is responsible for creating mankind. Mankind in turn created other gods. I was pointing out the difference between our God and the other's god.
The misguided notion that the God Christians pray to and the god Muslims pray to are the same, is false theology. To prove they aren't the same is easy:
One has a Son, the other does not.
The Bible and the Quran are not the same, but should be if they were the same God.
One protects Israel, the other wants to wipe them of the face of the earth.
^ Those facts alone makes it difficult to believe they are the same...

To prove they aren't the same is easy:
One has a Son, the other does not.
The Bible and the Quran are not the same

Also, one advocates "conversion" with death threats. The other preaches conversion they A CHANGE OF HEART

 

[cnm]

I do understand, and vehemently call the Muslim propaganda out.
To know that Allah isn't the same God as the God of Abraham, look to who Allah wants to wipe off the face of the earth...

Allah's gonna send a flood?

So then Jews and Christians pray to different gods?

 

[The Irish Ram]

Allah's gonna send a flood?

I'm guessing nukes. Those who follow the Quran hate the Jews and want to annihilate them, and us, the little Satan and the big Satan...

 

[cnm]

Set a Bible beside the Koran. If they are the same, then you should be able to find, Kill all infidels, in the Tanakh, the NT, Buddhism, Hinduism.

Show me they are all the same...

Are Canaanites the same as infidels?

 

[cnm]

Sigh

 

[The Irish Ram]

So then Jews and Christians pray to different gods?

Nope, same one.

 

[ding]

Nope, same one.

But not Muslims?

 

[cnm]

Nope, same one.

But one has a son and the other does not.

Both believe in the God of Abraham. Both believe God created existence. Both believe that God is moralistic and providential. Both believe that man is at war with God so to speak and must surrender to God.
