We find a lot of names for God in the Bible. Some scholars record up to 24 names in the Bible. Some of these names are Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shalom, Jehovah Raah, Jehovah Tsidkenu, Jehovah Shammah, Abba Father, Adonai, Alpha and Omega, El Roi, Elohim, El Elyon.
Usually Father or Abba is mentioned in prayers

You have no evidence to prove people who believed in your faith are already in heaven.As per Islam, all the dead regardless of their religion are waiting at Barzakh.If you can’t provide any proof, How can you prove your faith is true?
I thought you left your companion Alizabird for dead...
He has been putting on a brave front for a lost cause lah...now he needs your help to turn the boat around lah...
Yahweh is formless..but he appeared as a man in the OT and also as a burning bush when He spoke to Moses
If Yahweh has no features, How does he see, hear, help you?
Allah has features doesn’t mean he is a human.
Allah is not that weak to take a form of a human, Angel, Jinn and any other creatures.

(23-01-2025, 02:01 AM)S I M T A N Wrote: Of all the mainstream religions in the world, only Hinduism teaches that all religions lead to heaven. So naturally it, along with practitioners of Paganism, doesn't have any objection to our claim that Jesus Christ is a reliable way into the presence of God.
The consistent message of Jesus, the apostles, and all the New Testament writers is crystal clear: there's no other way and there's no other name through which people can be saved other than Jesus Christ. All of mankind is hopelessly adrift as we move further and further away from God. "All of us like sheep have gone astray" (Isa 53:6).
Instead of allowing us to experience the deserved consequences of our spiritual departure from our Creator, God formulated a rescue plan to bring us back to Him, and that plan for our salvation is the gospel of Jesus Christ. It doesn't matter whether you're Jewish, Catholic, Baptist or Muslim, you can't go to heaven without faith in Jesus Christ as your Saviour.
Admittedly, the Christian message that belief and faith in Jesus Christ is absolutely essential for salvation is offensive to many non-Christians. Evangelical Christians are one of the most zealous - and hated - proselytizers who set out to share the gospel to others in a winsome and compelling manner and with a strong sense of urgency and immediacy.
"And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)
"These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life." (1John 5:13)
The reason why Islam and Judaism reject Christianity is because of monotheism. We both see Christianity as a polytheistic faith, like Hinduism. The only difference between Hinduism and Christianity is the number. You stop at 3 gods.
The word is not offensive. It is reject. We reject your faith. We are not offended by your faith. The almighty God is offended by your faith, not us. How do we know that? Because it is stated clearly in the Jewish scriptures and the Quran. God is a jealous God. If you have another god that you worship, that is indeed offensive to the one almighty God.

Let's put aside the scriptures for a moment....I believe that a genuine faith should look after its followers. Witnessing people perish during Hajj each year and seeing others experience health issues from fasting doesn't reflect the essence of a true religion. I'm certain that God wouldn't want to see such suffering, which leads me to conclude that a faith that allows this to happen cannot be authentic....
Yahweh is omnipresent and all-powerful means He doesn't need to take any physical form to hear or see us...but he can if he wants to...So, can Allah choose to take on a human form if He wishes? If Allah can become a human then why not Jesus?
I love your challenging questions lah and that really put us Christians in a tough spot. Keep them coming...it's a refreshing change from the same old questions that your companion often repeat.

This is something new from Alizabird today lah....."angkat" with Judaism to prove christianity wrong...
There are many similarities between Judaism and Islam like the dietary laws...Don know if they fast or not...Don know if they circumcise or not!
You can also angkat with Christianity also lah....we both recognised that Jesus is the Messiah but the Jews don...I'm sure there are many similarities as well..

Allah doesn’t take the form of human, Angels, Jinn or any of his other creations.
Even though Allah has features, it is beyond our comprehension.
Do you have record of how many people die due to fasting and Hajj annually?
Due to various reasons,People die in thousands daily.Why don’t you blame the God?
Your body and the provision you are enjoying belongs to Allah(God).He has all the rights to ask you to fast, pray, give charity, make pilgrimage.
If your new Bible doesn’t require those blame your teachers and your self.

Are you suggesting that Allah has physical attributes like eyes for seeing and legs for walking, implying He has a bodily form?
I've shared records showing the alarming number of people who die each year due to fasting and during Hajj. These deaths seem completely unnecessary.
As for the daily death toll.. we can't hold them accountable in the same way. If a Moslem and a Christian both fall and die, those deaths wouldn’t necessarily be categorized as related to their religious practices...
As for Mecca, the Holy ground cannot be claimed as Holy anymore...if you add up the number deaths , that place should be a cursed ground! Once blood is shed, lives are lost, it is no longer good!

In Islam, the concept of God's image is not directly discussed in the same way as in Christianity or Judaism. However, the Quran teaches that God is beyond human comprehension and that we can only know God through revelation and faith. Muslims believe that God is a unified, indivisible, and incomprehensible being who cannot be represented by any image or symbol.
So can Allah have all these features like hands, shin, face, leg?

(23-01-2025, 02:20 AM)S I M T A N Wrote: In the other theological thread, I readily admitted only having a nodding acquaintance with others' faiths. I have some knowledge of Buddhism, though, as my parents were Buddhists. When I was small, my mother's colleague, a school teacher, shared her Christian faith with her, and she managed to convert her to Christianity. Shortly after my mom's conversion, she dismantled the altar in the house. But she didn't rush me into becoming a Christian, telling me to take my time to decide. Choosing a religion is a volitional act.
At the age of 15, I went to a gospel rally at the behest of my friend who was a regular churchgoer. It was there that I accepted Christ as my personal Saviour and Lord at the end of a powerful and uplifting sermon. At times I tagged along with my mum to her church. Somehow I began to backslide, and my later years were spent in the spiritual wilderness.
To cut a long story short (I'd already narrated my testimony in another thread), my life was one big mess and I was on the verge of ending it all. Surrendering myself to despair, I cried out to God and told Him I could no longer go on. The best part of my prayer was surrendering my life to the Lord and asked Him to take complete control of it.
That was the turning point in my life. He turned my life around, delivered me from my inner demons and has blessed me to the extent that my cup of blessings is filled to overflowing. I can say with certainty that the God of the Scriptures is a Living God - not a make-believe god - who has delivered many a downtrodden person - like myself - from their struggles and enabled them to stand.
Prayer and fellowshipping with the Lord has a profound impact on one's life. There's nothing mysterious about being mystically united with God who does invite our fellowship and communion with Him. Christianity is about having a personal relationship with God who is as near as you can reach out in prayer. There's everything to gain and nothing to lose by doing just that! Personal testimonies of Jesus's transforming power are a great lever to reach out to the unsaved.
Ok. Thank you for admitting you don't know much about Islam. Yet you criticize Islam as though you know the faith.
23-01-2025, 06:11 PM
But you also don know much about Islam what! The basic 6 articles of Faith and you can only produce 5...

You can reject Islam, Quran and Allah in this world as every human being has been given free choice.
Can you reject Allah when he take your soul, Resurrecting for Judgement,Sending you to Hell?
Allah is the Arabic word for Creator of this universe. Prophet Muhammad didn’t speak Aramaic/ Hebrew . Hence he didn’t use the word Yahweh.
Anyway Christian god is called Lord and God in English 🙄
