An Austrian parent has complained after his daughter was given an altered version of a popular children's hymn in which the word 'God' was replaced with the word 'Allah'.
The woman told local media she was shocked when her daughter came home with the text to learn from the school in the Upper Austrian town of Wels.
The original song "Gottes Liebe ist so wunderbar" which means "God's love is so wonderful" is an extremely popular song for young children in Christian Austria. However, the teacher had decided to rewrite the text, replacing the word God with the word Allah.
The teacher justified the action by saying that the majority of children in the class of 10-year-olds were Muslims, and therefore she had changed the text by hand and replaced the word God with the word Allah.
But the parent of the girl as well as other Christian parents were not happy about the decision, and complained to the school inspector.
The annoyed father of the girl was quoted as saying: "It isn't just about the use of the word Allah. You just can't go about rewriting text like this."
School inspector Karin Lang said that she had requested an interview with the teacher and the school headmaster, and said that the teacher had only wanted to give the Muslim version to the Muslim schoolchildren. She said that one of the children must have accidentally been given the wrong music sheet."
Headmistress Ulrike Fellinger added: "I did not realise that the teacher was planning this. Songs like this in future have no place outside of the religious class."
A year ago an Egyptian man who moved into a house in Grossenzersdorf in Lower Austria had chopped down a crucifix that had been in his neighbour’s garden for 60 years because he found it offensive.
The Muslim had only just moved into the house when he announced that he did not like the crucifix, and told his neighbour that it had to go.
"Allah (God) is the Creator of everything. He is the guardian over everything. Unto Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth." (Quran 39:62, 63).
They got the word "Allah" from the Arabic-speaking pagans AND Christians. Arabic was spoken at Pentecost, a watershed event in church history (Acts 2:8-11).
“I see no evidence that Allah loves its votaries.”
I have never seen any. Would someone point out any verses in the Satanic Verses (AKA Koran) that mentions Allah’s love or forgiveness of sinners?
“In the OT, God has no Son. And he is consistently said to be “One” -—”
I notice that Genesis 1:26 in the King James Version reads in part: “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness”
God is speaking in the plural, “us” and “our”. Who do you suppose He is speaking to?
Not meaning to butt in, but Queen Victoria also said, "We are not amused," and I don't think she was referring to Prince Albert ...
[smile]
Well, I believe He is referring to the Trinity. But then, I am a Christian, and I am relying on NT texts for comparison and interpretive input. Ask any Jews if they think He is referring to the Trinity.
This suggests an interesting question: does the Hebrew language use a royal or rhetorical plural (as in “We are not amused”?)
A very good question - I’d like to know how the original Hebrew reads.
"Allah ist ein Arschloch
und Tanz mit dem Teufel"Seine Anhanger sind bose,
und ihre Hande sind blutigAllah ist ein Morder,
und Vergewaltigungen der WeltAllah ist der Teufel,
und Tanze mit sich selbst!Jesus wird ihn besiegen,
und Jesus wird siegen!Jesus wird ihn zu zerschlagen,
unter Seinen Fussen!"
I love the timelessness of God, His Son and his Spirit.
Amen.

It’s brilliant .
[[This sh-t is not necessarily to convert, but to dissuade those on the fence-especially the younger ones-from being Christian, and to turn them off of religion completely.]]
It’s to cause confusion and gain sympathy.
God is pleural throughout the Old Testament In addition the pleural for God is used in the very verse you quote God does not change
I seemed strange to me, though, that something so evident to the LDS, a church founded less than 200 years ago by English-speaking Americans, was not evident at all to the Jews, many of whom are Hebrew-speakers, and who have had these Scriptures and studied them exhaustively for 3000+ years.
Not being an expert myself, I thought that if I were to look for an expert in the meaning of Jewish Scriptures, I would probably find that expert not among the LDS, but among the Jews.
And they are resolutely monotheists. As I understand it.
In your view, how do the “Seven Spirits of God” relate to “The Trinity”?
The word for one in the Shema was echad it is also the same word use to describe a marriage between a man and a woman so it is not quite so singular as you think it is when translating into English.
(Psalms 2:6) Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
(Psalms 2:7) I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
(Proverbs 30:4) Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?
(1 John 5:7) For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
My son in seminary has studied Hebrew extensively I have done some amateur studying The Jews missed a lot in their time including the first coming of Christ (I’m not condemning them we are no better now). Christ and the Trinity are all over the OT. The first Gospel message occurs in the first 3 chapters of Genesis Just because most of the Jews missed it does not mean it isn’t there God does not change
Ummmm...I just gave you the answer to that question, the key words being...will rest on him.
How do you not understand that?
