The Bible is clear that ‘God is Love’, and he can’t be both Hate and Love, so I know that my God is the God of Israel, because his word says so. They are his chosen people, and no one is going to change that.

Muslims hate Israel, Jesus was Jewish. All Christians are ‘grafted in’ with Jesus as their elder brother, so therefore, I don’t know who they call ‘Allah’, but it is not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Even though Ishmael was the son of Abraham by Hagar, but not the child of promise. Isaac was Abraham’s son by Sarah, as promised by God....the ancestor of Jesus.

Key verses in NT I John 2: 22, 23

22)”Who is the liar? It is the man that denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist-he denies the Father and the Son.”
23)”No one who denies the Son has the Father, Whoever acknowledges the Father has the Son also.”

WE CANNOT SEPERATE the Father and The Son, because it is 2/3 of the Godhead...FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST!

.....”He can’t be both Hate and Love,”.....

There are six things that ‘the Lord hates’,
seven that are an abomination to him:
haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that make haste to run to evil,
a false witness who breathes out lies,
and one who sows discord among brothers.

Proverbs 6:16-19 English Standard Version

Absolutely, and we know those guys, don’t we? Add those terrorists do all of those listed, and the whole spectrum is covered. So I don’t know who that other guy “Allah” is, but he is not my God. I suspect he is the one that Alinsky dedicated his book “Rules for Radicals” too”

Christians are to hate the sin, and love the sinner. These people hate the people and kill them. Big difference.

God hates evil, and some people embrace evil, those who accept him and live by his principles are loved. He does not go around hating people for no reason....not like the left, and terrorists.

Jehovah of the Bible is not the false god of islam, allah.

Ask any muslim and they will tell you Jehovah and allah are not the same.

Jehovah is the one, true God.

Sounds like you are a JW, correct?

Someone reading the NT or the Septuagint in the original Greek would read, literally translated into English, "the God" (or "the god", capitals having no meaning in koine Greek).

The actual reading would not include the "the" before God. I do not recall any instance where the ο is actually translated as "the" before God in the Greek.

Not even close.

Christian all the way...follower of Jesus Christ.

I believe John 1:1 is translated as, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Two of the Trinity mentioned here.

JWs believe it should be translated as "and the Word was a God".

There is not indefinite article in the Greek.

That is my point. The Greek word for "the" is not translated into English. But it is most certainly there in the original Greek. Can one conclude from that translation standard that the God of English speakers is different from the God of Greek speakers?

“There is not indefinite article in the Greek. “

In fact there is, of a sort, but not in John 1:1.
