Good grief, Indie. Give it a rest.

FWIW I've thought his contributions were interesting & useful ... as have been yours, most of the time, though I think you've gone overboard on this one.

On a related subject, why should it be surprising that Muslims call their deity by the same word that Arabic Christians use for theirs? They (the Muslims) claim to be worshipping the same god, after all. And besides, "Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14) so one would not expect a cult worshipping him to call him by his proper name; indeed he "sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God" (2 Thessalonians 2:4). So even the religion of the Antichrist himself will claim to be worshipping the true God, and in all liklihood will use the same words for the name of God. But "Ye shall know them by their fruits" (Matthew 7:16).

It is altogether too pat to expect to be able to use a simple linguistic litmus test for truth (in this case the word used to mean "God"). Remember that the English word "God" appears in neither Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, nor Latin; it was simply the English word with the nearest meaning.

My point has been made so good grief you can stop bringing it back up. There are more than I who would disagree with you.

Because some people on this board are searching and do not know this.
It is indie,yours and my responsibly to speak THE TRUTH to those who will listen.
Th karon was copied by mohammah to twist and change THE TRUTH. Sometimes there is more about Islam on this board than Christianity. Who knows who who might read this and see THE TRUTH. We have had one person change his life. This is a religious war and you need to see both side. IMHO
