Muslim & Christian Discussion ForumCalling Aineo - Christian-Muslim DialougeFirst, the mess is in your mind not in the information found on the site you have a problem with, which has more to do with transliterating Arabic into English then it has to do with substance. Second, El Shaddai is a title that includes one of the characteristics of Yaweh, not His name, which is YHWH and is used over 6000 times in the OT vs. the 5 or 6 times the title (name) El Shaddai is used. Third, God communicates with man by using known languages so your appeal to western scholarship is nothing more than a tactic to obfuscate this discussion. What you have chosen to ignore is the Bible is a book of progressive revelation of the nature and character of God and His eternally predetermined plan for His creation. Now since the Arabic for Allah was used for the moon god worshipped by Arabs before Muhammad was born your appeal to symantics applies to Islam as well as Judaim/Christianity. Fourth, Jews considered God's name so holy they refused to say it, therefore the fact Jesus is not recorded as using Yaweh (which was never translated into Greek the language of the NT) ignores the historical and cultural background of the NT writings. And fifth, I thought this was going to be a different type of discussion with a Muslim not an attempt to obfuscate and avoid discussing Islam vs. Christianity. |
