I like the idea of referring to the OT as the Hebrew bible and shall do so henceforth. We should remember that Christians and Jews are hated equally by Muslims, therefore in their eyes we are one and the same.

The OT is not entirely in Hebrew--parts of Daniel are in Aramaic. So maybe it would be more accurate to call the OT "the Hebrew-Aramaic Bible." (And that's leaving aside the fact that Catholics and Orthodox Christians count some pre-Christian books written in Greek as part of the OT.)

Thomas Paine, IIRC, used the word "Bible" to mean only the OT, excluding the NT books.

Maybe the OT can be called "the Older Testament," since it is obviously of greater antiquity, without implying that it is in any way outmoded.

That is because once one learns what the bible and gospel are all about, and then what Islam is all about, it becomes crystal clear that anyone following Mohammad and his "god" exclude themselves from being one of the true living God's chosen.

They are deceived by Satan, whose only goal is to condemn as many souls as possible to eternal death and prevent their salvation and eternal life in the Lords new world, which is free from Satan's contamination- death. A Muslims only hope is to wake up and be saved, repent and accept Christs offer, which certainly sounds a lot better than eternal life in a whore house with 180 ft tall transperent vigins and Allah next door torturing bad muslims with hell fire. (makes one wonder where exactly is this whore house if Allah is next door in hell getting his jollies torturing people.)
