I am posting this here in case of strict moderation on the board where i originally posted it:
Unfortunately a certain Moon & Star person here actually believes Bible-Believers are supposed to be perfect, without fault. This is simply ludicrous and proves without a doubt that they've been spoon-fed the Vatican lies.
I actually encounter on a daily basis hypocrisy, falsity, arrogance and self importance among Christians as I live among them, these people have no intentions of Humbling themselves before god, these people have no interest in brotherly love, they have no interest in unity only segregation and their own happy little seat on the Saviour bus.
I speak with many people who have had genuine spiritual experiences and have been touched by the spirit, but who have been ostracised and shunned by the Church going Christians in the community.
I have had deeper and more meaningful interactions with non-church going christians who study books on religion, than I do with Church going christians who seem more inclined to make me think like them and "teach me how to think and behave", I also have more meaningful conversations about spirituality and spiritual practice with Islamic people, you will not find more humble people in my experience, most Islamic peoples will always mention how Christianity and Islam pray to the same god, the omnipotent creative spirit in the Sky, who even the -SLAUGHTERED BY WHITE SETTLER- Native American Indians prayed and worshipped to!
If you wanna believe the bible then that is fine, but how many of you Bible believers speak or understand the Hebrew, Aramaic or Syretic languages which form the foundation of your BELIEFS, Hebrew being a brother of Arabic, Arabic being a much closer relative than English, which is like a nephew twice removed from Hebrew.
Whoa there.
God and Allah are NOT THE SAME. For starters, Allah had no son and is based off a pagan moon goddess.
God had a Son that He sent to save man from his sins.
You don't have to know Greek or Hebrew to understand the Bible. The King James translators and men before them (such as William Tyndale) translated it for us.
Moon and Stars is of the 'Zeitgeist' (debunked) cult who believes the Alan Wattage stuff about the 'arc' and such. Funny thing is Alan will not debate the issue. Moon/Stars said he/she decides for him/herself....can't think for her/himself.
Another point I want to make is he/she asked in the AV1611 for specific information related to Christianity, all warm and fuzzy seek the truth stuff. When said info was withdrawn MS regressed, went into a tirade with the usual bashing of Christians after accusing whites of 'racism'.
A double-minded person is unstable in all his/her ways. NEVER does a true Christian claim to be perfect. Yet this SM person foments a verbal race war against whites and a bigoted verbal inquisition against Bible-Believers. Methinks MS is highly suspect and a sneak who is what she accuses others of being what he/she is......I know for certain he/she is a leech.

look in the mirror!

Yes you do, at least to understand it in the same way as your Jesus did, or you are lazy and wait for a middleman who does (or assumes to), to lay it all out in front of you, as with most things there is room for difference of opinion here.

Yes they made many errors, and diluted the complexity of the Hebrew bringing in blanket terms such as GOD, The Lord etc.
AL and EL are much alike in the Syretic languages which came from the Phoenician:
Webster’s Dictionary gives the definition and etymology of Allah as follows. Allah is the Muslim name for "the God." Allah is derived from two words "al," which means "the" and "ilah," which is related to the feminine Hebrew word for God, "eloah."
According the Huston Smith’s book The World’s Religions (p. 222), it states: "Allah is formed by joining the definite article al meaning ‘the’ with Ilah (God). Literally, Allah means ‘The God.’ … When the masculine plural ending im is dropped from the Hebrew word for God, Elohim, the two words sound much alike." Eloah (Hebrew feminine) is similar to Ilah (God). Both Elohim and Allah are titles and not names.
Godfrey Higgins in his classical book Anacalypsis (V. 1; p. 64-65, 67) gives the etymology of Elohim, originally spelled Aleim. He states the following: "Perhaps there is no word in any language about which more has been written than the word Aleim; or, as modern Jews corruptly call it, Elohim. The root … al, the root of the word Aleim, as a verb or it its verbal form, means to mediate, to interpose for protection, to perserve; and a noun, a mediator, an interposer. In its feminine its has two forms …ale, and … alue. In its plural masculine it makes … alim, in is plural feminine … aleim.
Higgins points out in his book that many learned men believe that "Al" is derived from Arabic but some disagree with the derivation of Allah. "I beg the reader to observe, that Arabians, from whose language the word al properly comes, have the word for Sun, in feminine, and that for the moon, in the masculine gender; … The word Aleim … has been derived the Arabic word Allah, by many learned men; but Mr. Bellamy says this cannot be admitted; for Hebrew is not the derived, but the primitive language. … The Alah, articulo emphatico alalah (calassio) of Arabians, is evidently the … Al of the Chaldees or Jews…"
The Al is not Islamic/Arabic in origin, their book however is how it has always been, written and spoken in Arabic translated into English, many learned and Scholarly men have commented on the complexity and divine nature of the Quranic verses, and many offers have been made to lay down the religion if any man could write such a book, but no man ever has emulated it's complex prose and numerology!
