ArchivedBreaking it to the Christians...Lessons in AramaicAre Allah and God the same? If a Muslim convert perceives that the God of Islam and Christianity are the same God, who am I to deny such a possibility. When Moses was told by God to go and tell Pharoh to let His people go.. He asked what shall I reply if the Israelites ask who sent me. The Lord God Almighty replied " I AM Who I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites. IsTell Him... "I AM" has sent me to you. ... and in Hebrew that is "YHVH".. or Yahweh as we know it in English. It is the name God gave Himself and is the name that Jesus Himself used to reveal Himself in the NT Jesus shares the same attributes as YHVH and clearly claims to be YHVH. In John 8:56-9, Jesus presents himself as the "I AM." When challenged by some Jewish leaders regarding His claim of seeing Abraham (who lived some 2000 years earlier), Jesus replied, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I AM." Those Jewish leaders understood that Jesus was claiming to be YHVH. This is clearly established when they tried to stone Him to death for what they considered blasphemy under Jewish Law. In Romans 10:9, Paul declares, "if you confess with your mouth Yeshua as LORD... you shall be saved." Immediately thereafter, in Romans 10:13, Paul backs up this declaration by quoting the Old Testament, "Whoever will call upon the name of the LORD (YHVH) will be saved" (Joel 2:32). Calling on Yeshua (Jesus) as Lord is the same as calling Him YHVH, because Yeshua (Jesus) is YHVH (LORD), the Messiah foretold throughout the entire Old Testament. Paul certainly was not frightened of using the Unknown God of Acts 17 to reveal the truth of the One True God... He explains to the Athenians that they need to know more about HIM who they worship, and that is exactly, what he Paul is intending to help them do. Instead of debating the name of God.. let us instead learn of the nature of the One True God ... He who declares of Himself... ""And God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM;..... this is My eternal name, and this is how I am to be recalled for all generations'" (Exodus 3:14-15). No Muslim, No Christian and No Jew can deny that the One True God is the ONLY God.. and all of us need to listen very carefully to what He is saying in His self revelation.. |
