“I don’t give a rip if Muslims have ripped of a word that means ‘God.’ In Islam, it is STILL another name for Satan.”
God is the One who divided the languages and has left for Himself a witness in every language. He has also promised that some would be saved from every language spoken. People do not have to learn Greek or Hebrew, the original languages of the Bible, in order to receive forgiveness and eternal life.
The name of Jesus is above every name according to the Bible, but that name is pronounced differently in nearly every language. It is even pronounced differently in Greek and Hebrew, the original languages of the Bible, thus proving that His name does not have to be said in the original Biblical languages in order to have meaning.
Allah is the Arabic word for God and has been long before Islam hijacked it. When men spoke with tongues on Pentecost, there were Arabs present who heard about God in their own language. What word for God do you suppose they heard?
Allah was God’s title in Arabic before English was even a spoken language.
Lots of people have done evil in the name of Jesus over the centuries, but we do not say that Jesus is Satan. We know that those doing the evil are not following the true Jesus but an impostor.
I am asserting the same about the term “Allah”.
There are many Christian men, women, and children who only speak Arabic and have chosen to die rather than deny Jesus and His Father who is referred to in the Arabic Bibles as “Allah” because that is the word for God in their language.
Muslims serve Satan ignorantly just like many other religious people do ignorantly, including “Christians”. That does not mean Christ is Satan. It means that Satan masquerades as God and Jesus.
Calling Allah Satan is not merely an insult to Muslims, it is an insult to Arabic Christian martyrs who died being faithful to the one true God who they called Allah because that is God’s title in their language.
It is one thing to do something in ignorance but another to willfully choose to remain ignorant.
In Heaven there will be unity of language, since the Bible is based on two very important languages, Hebrew and Greek.
I repeat myself, and I certainly don't give a flip if that "insults" Muslims. The Lord's remnant will be--yes--from all people, all tribes, all nations, but the "Allah" of Islam is still the devil.
I am in some agreement with your postings on this thread. I hope during the debate that the matter of Allah as God will be further clarified. Christ spoke of the Pharisees and scribes as having Satan as their father despite the fact that these folks still used the term “God” when they spoke of him. Their God was in truth Satan despite their use God’s name as Satan’s name! 1 John 4 clarifies who the true God and true Son is and are. The true God sent the son who was God in Flesh. Jesus, Spirit, and The Father are all one God! Jesus was Christ come in the flesh. He is the Word made flesh! That is the difference between the “Allah” of the Muslims and the “Allah” of the Christians! If anyone denies Christ as come in the flesh, they are revealing that they are of the spirit of Anti-Christ which is already active in the world!
