You know the words "we're" and "were" are similar sounding words, look nearly the same even. Interchangeable to some people as well, but that doesnt make it so in reality. They are different words that mean different things.
According to Christians, Jews, AND Muslims, they all believe in Abraham and that he worshiped the one true God.

That implies God is Spirit, separate from Himself.
It says spirit of God. Not God as spirit. So it implies that the spirit of God was seperate from God. Spirits are agents of God, who carry out His will. That particular spirit hovering over the water was no different.
What about the 7 spirits mentioned in Isaiah? Should they be added to the trinity as well? What about the lying spirit from God? How come they dont get to be part of the trinity?
"Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." That from the Torah and Jews still wont/cant answer or explain what that means.
God was talking to the angels.
How does "us" indicate that it is a number that you want it to be?
Anyway, I am not Jewish.... but if you would like to ask a Rabbi about this further...

What a silly reply. Do you know what you are talking about?
Question: The word "Allah" as used in your September 1993 issue is not correct. The Hausa translation of the Bible in northern Nigeria uses Allah as a designation for the true God. Allah is therefore the same divine being in both the Islamic and Jewish faiths and the one who became man for the salvation of mankind.
Answer: The translators, by using a term familiar to the Muslims in northern Nigeria, no doubt thought they were being helpful. But by using Allah in the Hausa language, they have succeeded, instead, in creating confusion. Allah is no mere linguistic designation for God, as Dios in Spanish or Dieu in French. Allah is the name of the god of Islam. In fact, Allah was the name of the chief god among the numerous idols in the Kaaba in Mecca, which represented the deities of travelers passing through in the caravans. Allah was the god of the local Quraish, Muhammad's tribe, before Islam was invented. Muhammad smashed the idols but kept the black stone which is still kissed today by Muslims. He kept, too, the name Allah for the god of Islam (its sign was the crescent moon) in order to appeal to his own tribe.
Allah has definite characteristics: he is not a father, has no son, is not a triune being but a single (and thus incomplete) entity who destroys rather than saves sinners, has compassion on only the righteous, does not deal in grace but only rewards good deeds, has no way to redeem the lost sinners, etc. Allah is not the God of the Bible.

They are not the same and never have been. Jewish ecumenicalism.
The Jews greatest sin is idol worship.edit on 20-11-2011 by boony because: Fun stuff
Allah des not come from Israel. Allah is the god of Islam and came from a different pagan pre Islamic tradition.
