In the Name of the Father & of the Son & of the Holy Spirit - One God - now & forever. Amen.
Quote:Ok, forget about the Jews for a moment (<b>Although the whole OT is written in their own language and they are the best people to explain it</b>). However, Christians who are holding their Bible today, strongly believe that they are led by the Holy Spirit, and that this Spirit (<i>which is God by the way</i>), reveling to them ALL TRUTH, and yet Christians today are in conflict with regards to "<i>their understanding of the one true God</i>". You will find some Christians who claims that "US" and "OUR" used in the book of Genesis refers to Trinity, while others do not support Trinity at all, you will see some Christians who say that the name of God is NOT Allah and that this name was never used by Christains before the advent of Islam, while some other Christains glorify no other name but Allah.
You're absolutely spot-on, Wael!
But I'd prefer not to discuss Christian politics on an Islamic forum. I think it's best we stick to Catholic/Muslim dialogue.
Quote:and so, since Christians are not in agreement regarding the concept of God, then we invite them to look into the <b>FURQAN</b> (The criteria to judge right from wrong) and that is the Qur'an, in which God Himself reveled to His people in simple language, His true nature and attributes.
You know that I respect you & I wholeheartedly echo what JP2 said about Allah's (SWT) names & attributes in the Quran - beautiful stuff! But that's where it ends for me.
Quote:May Allah guide us all. Ameen.
Amen. May He also show us the path to peace & co-existence.
Blessings to you!
