    Genesis 14 and Psalm 110

    Allah denies that Jesus was crucified. Yahweh planned for Jesus to be crucified, even before the creation of the world. Allah (and the Quran) contradicts Yahweh (and the Bible). If Allah and Yahweh is the same God then Allah contradicts himself. As you see it, what is the way out of this...

    Genesis 14 and Psalm 110

    To be the same they would speak and act the same. Allah would not be in disagreement with Yahweh if Allah was Yahweh. I would refute the atheist. The God of the Hebrew Bible is the God of the New Testament. Yahweh is, as we have agreed (against the skeptic atheist), the God and Father of Jesus.

    Genesis 14 and Psalm 110

    Allah and Yahweh don’t act the same and don’t speak the same. I pointed this out to my Muslim friend (but did so by saying “the God of the Quran and the God of the Bible” rather than “Allah and Yahweh”). He agreed. His explanation for it was that the Bible has been corrupted and is unreliable...

    Genesis 14 and Psalm 110

    There was a time in their history when the Jews did pronounce the personal name of God. Christianity has traditionally refrained from writing and pronouncing the name of God, substituting LORD for the name where it occurs in scripture. There is no prohibition across the board in Christianity...

    Genesis 14 and Psalm 110

    @Pancho Frijoles I’m linking a news article from 2014 in this post. As you will note when you read it, Malaysia’s Islamic authorities confiscated Bibles printed in the Malay language because they used the word “Allah” in reference to God. https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSBREA010C1/ I...

    Genesis 14 and Psalm 110

    Thanks. I had it in my mind that Baha’i believe the deities of all religions are the same God. Your answer qualifies that for me. God has revealed his personal name in the Bible. God has not revealed his personal name in the Quran, which dates later than the Bible. If it is the same God, why...

    Genesis 14 and Psalm 110

    @Pancho Frijoles I haven’t spoken with my Muslim co-worker since I retired and relocated back to my home state in 2016. The article I’m quoting from (and providing a link to) was published in 2019, so I haven’t discussed it with him. The question that was asked: Why doesn’t God call himself...

    Genesis 14 and Psalm 110

    Would it be fair to say then that you don’t know whether or the deities of those religions are Yahweh operating under other names? Thanks. He was fine with “the God of Abraham” (that was common ground for us) but rejected the terms “Father” and “Yahweh” - saying that they aren’t relevant, nor...

    Genesis 14 and Psalm 110

    Okay, but I was really hoping to get a better idea from you about the deities in as many religions as possible whom you believe are Yahweh operating under other names (ex. Zeus, aka Yahweh). Yes. So do you have any thoughts on why the Muslim co-worker I’ve spoken about wasn’t able to agree...

    Genesis 14 and Psalm 110

    Excellent. Could you provide a list of the names of the deities from other religions - deities whom you believe are Yahweh, just going under different names - which you believe fit with these two propositions?
