I asked three core questions with none answered! What I deemed irrelevant from the outset is what you decided to dwell on. Interesting. That shows how extremely smart and brilliant you are, doesn't it?

(underlined mine)

I said the oldest Manuscript of the Torah is in Israel. Logically speaking, how does that contradict what AC is saying? Is the oldest extant manuscript the 'original'? Like I asked again, where on earth am I to start from when discussing with people like you? You see why you are not credentialed to talk where we are talking?

Thankfully, I made the right judgment call and it is just best to leave you where I took you from. Strikethrough and delete button all the way!

My beloved Muslim friends, especially, Legalwolf, Antichristian and Lukuluku69, I think these two names are eye opening names if we look at their meanings.

Jubril means strength from Yahweh or Yahweh is my strength. That means Angel Jubril's God is not Allah but Yahweh.

Ismael also means Yahweh will hear or Yahweh hears me. This means Abraham who gave Ismael his name was a worshiper of Yahweh and not Allah. How then can Abraham be a Muslim? Could someone who didn't name his son after Allah really build a mosque to him? I think it's getting clearer to you guys. You may have a different opinion actually. I'll be glad to hear it.

Also, if all the prophets Islam venerates have Yahweh reverently attached to their names as evidently shown, it means Yahweh is the God of the prophets and not Allah. The name issue is the big Truth that the lies of the Arabs could not cover.

Please let's be loyal to our souls. Our individual souls and its eternal home is what matters. Loyalty to a religion or prophet does not make sense.

of what use is all these please?

Angel Jubril is an Angel, how is the name important?

Anyway, Let's agree Jacob fought Yahweh and won Him!

LegalWolf:


I don’t and don’t claim to know. But what I do know is as follows:

1. Canaanite is a catch all phrase for people living in the land of Canaan. These includes Phoenicians, Moabites, philistines etc.

2. That El is the Supreme deity of the Canaanite pantheon.

3. That Hebrew language (just like Arabic) is relatively younger than Canaanite languages and is a probably derivative.

4. That El, understood as God in Hebrew, is traceable to the Canaanite El.

For these propositions, I recommended a research article to you on the origin of Canaanite religion yesterday. Have you read it?
Truely you DON'T know.
And the Question I asked you to answer you BOLTED away totally from it.

The Question was:
TenQ:

Please answer these Questions
Jubril and Ismail are meaningful Hebrew names in the Qur'an. What do they mean!?

I await your "smart" answer as usual!?


Let me help you out


Gabriel (English) Jubril (Arabic) Gavri-El(Hebrew)
'God is my strength" (meaning)

Ishmael(English),
Ismail(Arabic)
Ishmay-El(Hebrew) God Hears or God will hear (meaning)

Samuel(English) Samuil/Shamil(Arabic) Samu-El (Hebrew) "God has set" or "God has placed"(meaning)

Michael(English) Mika'il(Arabic) Mikha-El (Hebrew) "Who is like God?" or" there is none like God" (meaning)


So, Mr LegalWolf:
1. I presume that Allah gave Jubril and Mika'il their names: so, in your opinion why did Allah name them after the Canaanite god?
2. Ishmael and Samuil are your prophet in Islam. Why are they bearing names that praises EL the Canaanite god?

After all these, Do you still think that EL is the Canannite God?
Re: Allah, A God That Named His Prophets After Another God by AntiChristian: 11:10am On Dec 13, 2022
TenQ:

The name is important because it was given to him by his Creator. The name reveals many things:

1. Yahweh is the God of Angel Jubril, not Allah.

2. Yahweh is the Creator of Angel Jubril, not Allah

3. Yahweh is the God of all the Angels, not Allah

4. Yahweh is the One worshiped in Heaven, not Allah

5. Allah is an imposter who only used Yahweh's Prophets, Servants and Angel to promote himself as the true God.

6. The angel that visited Mohammed is not the original Jubril. An angel whose God is Yahweh to whom he has pledged allegiance cannot deliver a message for Allah whom he does not serve or worship.

7. All the claims of the Quran are spurious claims if the names of the angel, prophets and servants alluded to clearly honours Yahweh and not Allah. Yahweh is the true God of the prophets.

My beloved Hissplendor,

I have actually missed you. I had wanted to mention you in some of my conversations with TenQ just to show you how he throws tantrums. You will agree with me that the other time we discussed, it was respectful and we even ended up praying for each other, isn't it? If that is the case, do you now understand my rationale for ignoring him and not taking him seriously?

While some Muslims hold the view that Yhwh = Allah, I fundamentally disagree with this view. For me, it is blasphemy and a position taken out of ignorance. Now let me break down your analysis into tidbits and tell you how your explanation cannot work.

This is false and completely untrue. If anything,
1. Gabri'El means 'El/God is my Strength not Yhwh is my Strength
2. 'Ishma' El' means 'El/God' will hear me not Yhwh will hear me

If you talk about Yehoshua or Yeshua, that is completely understandable but not clear words like Gabri'EL, MichaEL, Yisra'EL!

HisSplendor:

.

This is completely false as well. If we take extra-biblical sources for example ( the same way many of your brothers take extra-Quranic sources to claim Allah is a moon god ), Yhwh:
(a) originates from southern Canaan and one of the lesser gods in their pantheons and/or
(b) one of the 70 children of EL (quite interestingly, the most ancient manuscript of the Hebrew Bible slightly alludes to this fact) ;
(c) a god of metallurgy

But of course, I expect you will object to that and would want us to base our claims on scriptures. But that presents a bigger problem: Exodus 6:2 tells us that God appeared to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as 'El Shaddai' and not 'Yhwh'. So what logically follows was that Yhwh was first known as God's name to Moses, is that not correct?

See, arguments need to proceed on the basis of logic and common sense. Paraphrasing TenQ, faith needs not be blind (sometimes, we get wise sayings from the unexpected places. After all, someone once got an excellent advice from a mad man!). In essence, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob worshipped God with the name 'El the Most High' and not 'Yhwh'!

No where in the Bible will you find that Jacob fought Yahweh.

But your fable specialist lied that Moses knocked out the angel of death:


Sahih Muslim 2372 a
Abu Huraira reported that the Angel of Death was sent to Moses (peace be upon him) to inform of his Lord's summons. When he came, he (Moses) boxed him and his eye was knocked out. He (the Angel of Death) came back to the Lord and said:
You sent me to a servant. who did not want to die. Allah restored his eye to its proper place (and revived his eyesight), and then said: Go back to him and tell him that if he wants life he must place his hand on the back of an ox, and he would be granted as many years of life as the number of hair covered by his hand. He (Moses) said: My Lord what would happen then He said: Then you must court death. He said: Let it be now. And he supplicated Allah to bring him close to the sacred land. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: If I were there, I would have shown you his grave beside the road at the red mound.

I may have given you this similitude before. Yoruba Christians and Muslims worship 'Olorun' or 'Olodumare', is that not correct? However is Olodumare of the Yoraba Pantheon = Yhwh?

You're right my beloved brother. I apologise for the error. The conculsion of my post isn't a silent jab, I also apologise if it so appears.

However, when we look at the names of the prophet as mentioned, the argument still holds that Yahweh is the God of the Prophets and not Allah. I'll love to have your opinion on this too.

However, I wouldn't accept the extrabiblical reference you made. Not because it's extrabiblical but because it's a non-Christian claim. You'll agree with me that the extra-quranic sources my brothers use are not non-Islamic. The Hadith is Islamic and that's what my brothers use.

Oh yeah brother, I have fond memories of our last discussion. It's great to read from you again. I actually love your writing style. I miss you too.
Re: Allah, A God That Named His Prophets After Another God by LegalWolf: 1:26pm On Dec 13, 2022
Smiles, beloved brother. Of course, I know before I begin that there is nothing I tell you that will make you change your beliefs. However, you asked for my opinion and that I will give you. But three core points may be stated here:

1. I do not claim to know God's intention. In fact, the way I conceive it is that God ABSOLUTELY knows the innermost recesses of my thoughts while I am perpetually incapable of knowing HIS intention.

2. But the statement above needs to be properly caveated: I can only rationalize but not know what God intends. Muslim ends many arguments by saying 'Allahu Ahlam' meaning God knows. So that attribute of knowing 'why' he does things is left to HIM and HIM alone.

3. Finally, I am a Muslim for so many reasons and perhaps one of the interesting ones is that Islam admonishes us to think, to self-reflect and find knowledge wherever possible. This to mind clearly demonstrates the superiority of Islam above other religion (of course, I know you think otherwise. But that is my opinion). Now to the issues at hand:

HisSplendor:


You're right my beloved brother. I apologise for the error. The conculsion of my post isn't a silent jab, I also apologise if it so appears.

Apologies accepted. We do not need to bicker and hurl insults when discussing serious issues of faith. Or do we?

HisSplendor:

However, when we look at the names of the prophet as mentioned, the argument still holds that Yahweh is the God of the Prophets and not Allah. I'll love to have your opinion on this too.

This is the core of my opinion (of course, rationalizing Allah's thoughts and touching on the questions as formulated by the OP):

Premises
1. The starting point we should know is that 'actions are judged according to intentions' .

2. The second premise we should know is something called 'Interpretatio graeca'. Simply explained, in clash of cultures, some cultures tend to borrow the name of a God of another.

3. Lastly, in Islam, we believe every community (or probably culture) has a prophet.

Argument

I have been looking for the best way to couch this argument but I am in a hurry as I need to attend to other matters. So properly constructing an argument and drawing pieces of evidence from several cultures may not be appropriate at this time. But when I have time and I want to revisit the matter, I will.

But to simply restate the point, the Al-Mighty God I worship knows who is been referred to when a culture appropriates a name of another God for it. Let me give you an example that readily comes to mind. When TenQ, who I always assume to be a Yoruba, prays to God that 'Olorun help me', God ought to know that he is not referring to the head of the Yoruba pantheon also called Olorun or Eledumare but 'El Shaddai'.

Take the example further, If Advocatejare Great Grandfather- a person I also assume to be Yoruba and who probably worships Esu, prays that Esu should help him. He is certainly referring to Esu as a member of the Yoruba pantheon of Gods and not the Biblical Satan. But look at we have: Olorun has been approximated to El Shaddai and this continues to this day. Same with Esu to Satan and this continues to this day!

El Shaddai has sent these prophets to there people and the culture preceding them has approximated Yhwh (who I believe to be completely different) to El Shaddai. But my strong opinion is that God in his infinite mercies know that who they are referring to by that name is El Shaddai just as he knows that when TenQ calls Olorun, he is referring to HIM. Speculatively, the prophet God sent to the Yoruba people (if any) may have been Olorun something!

This is my opinion as rationalized! Allah knows best and I know lukuluku69 or AntiChristian may share the same views with me or disagree. We all cannot know Allah's thought as I said earlier. Again ALLAHU AHLAM!

However, I wouldn't accept the extrabiblical reference you made. Not because it's extrabiblical but because it's a non-Christian claim. You'll agree with me that the extra-quranic sources my brothers use are not non-Islamic. The Hadith is Islamic and that's what my brothers use.

As it is now, you’re following a misguided soul called Muhammad who confessed that he didn’t know the way nor knew what will be his fate!




The Quran says that Muhammad was lost and misguided before he became a prophet:

Muhammad was misguided and lost before Allah claimed to have sent him but Muslims always lie that Allah doesn't sent the misguided.

"We found you lost and guided [you]"

wawajadaka ḍāllan fahad
-surah 93:7


The word used is ضَالًّا dallan, which means lost, astray, misguided. That was what Muhammad was before he was named a prophet by Waraqa !


Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction."
-Quran 72:21

El and Lah are not derivatives of the same source.

-EL mean DEITY
-LAH is a specific (proper name) for a Deity


We ALL Agree that it is legal for children to call their father my the Name "DADDY". But Daddy is simply a Generic Name for their Father.

Twenty children may be saying: "My Daddy said....." And they would be correct because each one is referring to their own personal Daddy.

Of cause, each of the parents have their own Unique names different from the names of the other daddies.

Therefore, EL (DEITY) is a generic form of Identity like DADDY!
YAHWEH is a specific name of the Deity of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the Jews and Christians!


Allah is both a generic form of Identity like DADDY and a specific name like LAH and ALLAH.
LAH/ALLAH is the specific name of the God of the Muslims.


This above clearly shows that even though
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the Jews and the Christians call their God Generic names like EL/ELOH/EL-OHIM, God, Father etc, the specific name for their God is Yahweh.
THE SAME MANNER
Mohammed and Every Muslim call their God Generic name like ALLAH, the specific name for their God is ALLAH/LAH.

CONCLUSION:
It is NOT anywhere close to the truth that Allah of the Muslims is the Allah of the Arab Christians.

In closing we can say of a TRUTH that ALLAH/LAH of the Muslims is NOT the YAHWEH of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses , the Jews and the Christians
Of course, this has a BIG implication because the Qur'an says otherwise repeatedly!
(Quran 4:163; Qur'an 5:69; Qur'an Qur'an 22:34 and Qur'an 29:46)

You should have asked questions before posting this.

The Jews feel the name YHWH is too big for a mortal to pronounce and worse that you cannot make a mistake in writing the name YHWH. Tradition says that in the olden days when the Priests are copying the scripture EACH TIME they came across the name YHWH, they will first STAND UP, then go and take a ceremonial bath, then come back to write the Holy name and then continue their copying


Later, the Jews replace the name YHWH with LORD or ALMIGHTY and in speaking "Adoni' or "the Blessed One."

The Arab Bible you speak of follow the same tradition of replacing YHWH with LORD (Rabb) . Even many English bible do exactly this by writing YHWH as LORD (in capital letters).

YAHWEH is NOT therefore translated as you ASSUME, it was replaced by the TITLE of YHWH as a form of Respect and Awe for their Creator!

We ALL Agree that it is legal for children to call their father my the Name "DADDY". But Daddy is simply a Generic Name for their Father.

Twenty children may be saying: "My Daddy said....." And they would be correct because each one is referring to their own personal Daddy.

Of cause, each of the parents have their own Unique names different from the names of the other daddies.

Therefore, EL (DEITY) is a generic form of Identity like DADDY!
YAHWEH is a specific name of the Deity of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the Jews and Christians!

LOL A SPECIFIC NAME FOR THE DEITY OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW - SEE EXODUS 6:2! , A specific name of a DADDY that the SONS do not know. LOL! Or did Abraham, Isaac and Jacob know El-Shaddai by Yhwh has clearly stated in Exodus 6:2? grin

Your argument is always peurile and your Daddy's example infantile at best. Let us break it down. Despite the fact that I did not ask you, you have said El is a Semitic word for Deity. Assuming this is wholly true, what specific deity is ILAH amongst pre-Islamic Arabs? And if you insist that LAH is a name of a God, please bring, your proof. We all cannot help with your hallucinations

TenQ:

Allah is both a generic form of Identity like DADDY and a specific name like LAH and ALLAH.
LAH/ALLAH is the specific name of the God of the Muslims.
[/b]

LOL! Even your Bible would disagree with you on this. I asked a very simple question the other time that you missed:

1. Why is El called Shaddai and not Yhwh Shaddai?


TenQ:

This above clearly shows that even though
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the Jews and the Christians call their God Generic names like EL/ELOH/EL-OHIM, God, Father etc, the specific name for their God is Yahweh.
THE SAME MANNER
Mohammed and Every Muslim call their God Generic name like ALLAH, the specific name for their God is ALLAH/LAH.

CONCLUSION:
It is NOT anywhere close to the truth that Allah of the Muslims is the Allah of the Arab Christians.

What point exactly are you trying to make. It is not by muddling up issues that you make sense. I would have advised you to call advocatejare but he also cannot properly articulate his thoughts! Disaster!

I have recommended research articles and even provided a link which clearly shows the connection between El of the Canaanite Pantheon and how it was brought into Hebrew Language. All your useless hypothesis of Yhwh being a personal name for God is bunkum as it is not grounded in common sense.

TenQ:


In closing we can say of a TRUTH that ALLAH/LAH of the Muslims is NOT the YAHWEH of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses , the Jews and the Christians
Of course, this has a BIG implication because the Qur'an says otherwise repeatedly!
(Quran 4:163; Qur'an 5:69; Qur'an Qur'an 22:34 and Qur'an 29:46)

Thanks for understanding!

You can read my explanation on this platform to which you have been mentioned countlessly. Yhwh ≠ Allah. Congratulations Mr. TenQ

TenQ,

I have a question for you: what was the 'personal name' that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob knew God? At least, we are very certain that they do not know him by Yhwh right? So what personal name do they know him? cheesy

Advocatejare may whisper words into your ears but I will only respond to you grin

But you didn't answer my Question?

Abraham, Isaac and Jacob did not call God by His personal name but by His title. Just like children call their father by the name Daddy BUT daddy is not their Father's personal name. Evidence attached! They called God Almighty DEITY!

TenQ:

You should have asked questions before posting this.

The Jews feel the name YHWH is too big for a mortal to pronounce and worse that you cannot make a mistake in writing the name YHWH. Tradition says that in the olden days when the Priests are copying the scripture EACH TIME they came across the name YHWH, they will first STAND UP, then go and take a ceremonial bath, then come back to write the Holy name and then continue their copying

Later, the Jews replace the name YHWH with LORD or ALMIGHTY and in speaking "Adoni' or "the Blessed One."

The Arab Bible you speak of follow the same tradition of replacing YHWH with LORD (Rabb) . Even many English bible do exactly this by writing YHWH as LORD (in capital letters).

YAHWEH is NOT therefore translated as you ASSUME, it was replaced by the TITLE of YHWH as a form of Respect and Awe for their Creator!

Yahweh is a concoction! YHWH is what is correct! And it's not pronounced! So if what you are saying is true then what is OP saying?

I know you have been corrected countlessly, La in Arabic actually means No/None. It is Ilah that means god. Apparently, the delusions of Yhwh is extremely potent on you!
Can you just quote on place where I used LA instead of LAH!

This is how you waste people's time either with Taqqiyya or misrepresentations.

LAH is not the same as LA!

I've asked you a simple question and if you've responded, you would not fond yourself in this quagmire of errors. Countless times I've told you that EL simply means DEITY!
1. What is the Meaning of Jubril and What is the meaning of Mikhail?
2. Is the deity in question 1 above the Canaanite deity?

Is El-Shaddai a Name or a TITLE?

It's like saying, why is Allah not called
1. ALLAH-AL-QUDDUS
2. ALLAH-AS-SALAM
Do you know why?

Re: Allah, A God That Named His Prophets After Another God by LegalWolf: 5:18pm On Dec 13, 2022
In the space of 4 hours, El has transmogrify from 'Deity' to 'Title'. Please be consistent!

Who is LAH is Islam?

Lah means "for him/it" in Arabic!

La is negation i.e. No.

So your logic is flawed!

To your questions, here are the answers:

TenQ:

Can you just quote on place where I used LA instead of LAH!

This is how you waste people's time either with Taqqiyya or misrepresentations.

LAH is not the same as LA!

Correct! But LAH means absolutely nothing in Arabic. Transcribe 'LAH' into Arabic Letters let us see the meaning!

TenQ:

I've asked you a simple question and if you've responded, you would not fond yourself in this quagmire of errors. Countless times I've told you that EL simply means DEITY!
1. What is the Meaning of Jubril and What is the meaning of Mikhail?
2. Is the deity in question 1 above the Canaanite deity?

1. I do not know the meaning of Jubril or Mikhail in Arabic. But I agree to your previous translation of the terms.

2. THIS IS THE EXACT POINT OF MY ARGUMENT !!!!!!!!!!!! The EL in both terms do not refer to the ones in Canaanite Religion BUT IT IS INDISPUTABLE THAT EL IN HEBREW ORIGINATES FROM CANAANITE PANTHEON GOD . This is exactly the same point I have been saying that you call 'God' Olorun in Yoruba does not mean that you worship the leader of the Yoruba Pantheon God! But the leader of the Yoruba Pantheon God is Olorun, isn't it.

This is why I laugh when you folks are quick to ascribe Allah to a moon god when the Origin of EL is clearly traceable to the head of the Canaanite Pantheon gods. I gave you a fvcking research paper on this BUT you will never learn! Just cruise and vibes

TenQ:


Is El-Shaddai a Name or a TITLE ?

1. ALLAH-AL-QUDDUS
2. ALLAH-AS-SALAM
Do you know why?

Please post intelligent questions next time. You won't answer questions and to post good questions is a problem for you!

The underlined is false.

By my understanding, a title is defined as a word that is used before someone's name, stating their social rank, qualifications, position in an organization, gender . See:https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/title?q=title+

Another definition of Title on Google is as follows:
a name that describes someone's position or job.

El Shaddai is literally translated as 'God the Most High' or God the Almighty. Clearly, Shaddai should be the title while El is the personal and proper name for God just like Allah. LOL! Your logic will tumble no matter how you try to defend the indefensible!

And on your equivalent with Allah, who told you that we cannot say Allah Al- Qudus? or Allah Al-Salaam? That is what many of us say in Dhikr for crying out loud!

Modified: I must admit I made an error when I said El Shaddai is translated as God the Most High. The Most High is translated as El Elyon and not El Shaddai. Shaddai often times means God Almighty. So it is still interesting to see TenQ or his advocate advocatejare would have the mouth to say Yhwh is the personal name for God. LOL!

What you wrote is "Lah" which is composed of "Lam" and "Ha"!
You are simply too ignorant to know that لله can't stand on its own without being preceded by something!
