Re: Buzsaw Position: Jehovah vs Allah
Allah is the only known or acknowledged proper name of the Muslim god where as the generic term, "god" is the adjective defining what/who Allah is.
My Allah, man. Did you not comprehend Dr. A's message 37 and 40 above? I can confirm his information.
"Allah" is a noun, not a "proper name." In Arabic it is the only noun for God and is used throughout the Arab world by all the Abrahamic religions including Christians to refer to the Allah of Abraham which is the only Allah Christians, Jews and Moslems believe in.
Good Allah man. Get ye some education and stop looking like such a fool!

Re: WARNING, FRIENDS! :
Buz, I've seen your idea of "evidence" and suffice to say, I didn't find it compelling. Even if I did though, I still could not worship such a God. I wouldn't want to worship an entity that would condemn a child to hellfire just for making a smart-ass comment on a Youtube video. Still, maybe the kid got off easy. At least he didn't get ripped apart by bears first. I hear that can happen.
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge;........
If you truly believe in such a cruel God, you are right to fear him. To love him though? That's pretty sick. All a bit "Big Brother" for me.

It's like my relationship with my Daddy as a son, Granny; a fear/love thing. I loved him but feared disobeying him. He loved me as well and had no joy in punishing me for my own good when I did not obey.
Praise Jehovah, from whom all blessing flow to those who fear him!

Re: Buzsaw Position: Jehovah vs Allah
Why then, in order to become a Muslim one must declare that Allah is god and Muhammed is his prophet?
No, you still don't get it.
The Muslim declaration of faith is: "There is no god except God, and Muhammad is his prophet" --- "la ilaha illallah, Muhammadur rasulullah".
I could become a Muslim right now by by saying (and believing) the sentence: "There is no god except God, and Muhammad is his prophet". Believing that God's personal name is Allah would be a mistake, a blunder, a faux pas, the amusing mistake of a beginner.
Of course we often use the word "Allah", to mean "the god of the Muslims", but that is not what it actually means in Arabic. It just means God-with-a-capital-G. If you're Jewish or Muslim or Christian or Sikh or Baha'i or Deist, then if you're speaking Arabic, you have to say that you believe in "Allah". That is the one and only word the Arabic language has for God qua God. That is what Arabic-speaking Christians call God. That's what Arabic-speaking Jews call God. That's the Arabic for God.
Look at it this way. If you learned Arabic, and went to Arabia, and told a Christian Arab in Arabic that you didn't believe in Allah, then he would understand you as meaning that you were an atheist.
Do you get it now?

Don't you get it Buz? That's how the Jews see you. Some Jesus-come-lately comes along, hijacks their scriptures, adds a load of his own ideas, contradicts the older scriptures... You may not think that the life of Christ contradicts Jewish Messianic prophecy, but Jews do think that. As far as most Jews are concerned, you Christian chaps came along, ripped off their religion and messed it up; exactly as with your complaint about Islam.
Somewhere, a Jew is reading this and laughing his kosher ass off at you. "The chutzpah of these Christians! They turn up, steal our holy scriptures, our ancestral stories, and then, when someone else does the same to them, they complain! The hypocritical schmucks!"
Doubtless, you'll say "Ah, but when we did it, we got it right." and cite prophecy as your proof. You should be aware though, that any good Muslim would do exactly the same in response to Christianity.

Re: Buzsaw Position: Jehovah vs Allah
I do not fear the Muslim entities, Doc, nor do I regard facts about Islam as blasphemy.
So you're a hypocrit, afterall you did say that blasphemy was:
A contemptuous or profane act, utterance, or writing concerning God or a sacred entity.
and yet here you are being contemptuous about a sacred entity.:
I maintain that he hijacked what suited his fancy from the Bible so as to gain legitimacy and win converts
By your logic I wouldn't be blashpeming if I said that Jesus liked to have relations with prostitutes.

Re: Buzsaw Position: Jehovah vs Allah
Thousands of Jews have received and acknowledged Jesus as lord and savior, Granny, particularly those who are apprised of the OT prophecies of him which confirm his messiahship.
One of those prophets, Zechariah, has declared that when he comes in the 2nd Advent at the time of Armageddon they will look upon him whom they pierced and mourn.

Well I'm not sure that you do get it, because that's not what we were arguing about. I never said that they were the same god.
What I said was that "Allah" is the Arabic word for "God".
If you want to convince me that you "get it now", then repeat after me:
I now understand that "Allah" is in no way the personal name of the god of the Muslims. In fact, it is just the Arabic word for "God". Thank you, Dr Adequate, for taking the time and trouble to explain this to me.
You can leave off that last sentence if you like. But I call the moderators to witness how patient I have been, and I would ask them to take this into account and to forgive me for the next time that my wit outruns my patience. I have been sorely tried.

Re: Buzsaw Position: Jehovah vs Allah
Do you ever get distracted by the sound of things whooshing over your head? The number of Jews who've converted isn't the point. The point is that Jews see Christianity and say "They Changed it, Now it Sucks!"
Do you at least understand the point I'm making? That Jews see Christianity the way you see Islam? That they see you and the Muslims as upstarts and Johnny-come-lately? Okay, you think they're wrong, I get that, but you can surely see the similarities?
Millions of Jews see Christianity the way you see Islam. I'm not asking you to say that they're right, but can you at least appreciate that point of view?
