jehova, dios, god, allah...all the same person, all the god of abraham isaac and joseph.

Really? Allah has a son name Jesus Christ? Who knew?

I think it is funny that you mention "the god of abraham, isaac and joseph jacob". Even you acknowledge that it isn't the "god of abraham and ishamel" or "god of abraham, isaac and esau". I wonder why it was phrased that way in the OT?

To: The Theophilus

Look at the origin of Allah and it becomes clear that even Muhammad knew he was starting with the moon god.

It is clear that Allah was a part of the large pantheon of gods and the idea of making Allah a monotheistic god was apparently Muhammad’s decision. There is nothing to suggest that Allah had a relationship to Jehovah God of the Bible. In fact, Allah had previously been worshipped as having three daughters that were gods themselves known as “Allah’s Trinity.” Notice this description. “Where more complex settlement patterns had developed, however, widely shared deities had already emerged, such as the ‘trinity’ of Allah’s ‘daughters’ known as al-Lat, Manat, and al-Uzzah.” (Ibid., p. 105.)
