Avi Lipkin gives a rundown list of why Allah is not the God of christians and jews. His jewish egyptian wife has alot of wisdom to be able to know
that christians and jews are the same people as referred to in the Quran..."the people of the book", we both hallel'u'Yah even if we have
disagreements on who the Messiah is. As he speaks you will see just how closely related judaism and christianity are, mother and child. For
christians, our Messiah and his apostles were jewish, and our roots are and always have been jewish in nature as the Messiah is jewish.
I can't watch the video just now, but I'm confused. I wasn't aware that Christians and Islamists assumed that Allah and Jehovah were the same.
Its semantics, as far as I'm concerned. Allah, Jehovah, God, Great Spirit, Big Man in the Sky....that's not the problem.
The problem is the religion that builds up around the central figure. In other words, don't blame Allah or God when a Islamic suicide bomber takes
out a church or a Christian fundmanetalist shoots up an abortion clinic.
As he speaks you will see just how closely related judaism and christianity are, mother and child.
uhhh... is this guy aware that the jews, like muslims.... reject the central doctrines of Christianity about
- The trinity
- Jesus being God (they even reject Jesus as a prophet)
- Original sin
Someone needs to tell this guy that jews buy Halal meat when they cant find Kosher....
and that jews are technically allowed to pray in a mosque when they cant find a synagogue.....but they will never set foot in a church.
Jews and Muslims understand that they worship the same God.
So, Its the christians with their trinity who are the odd ones out.
Sorry I started watching the video but turned it off at 0:00:29 because it said this
Please consider being a Partaker
A partaker is a person who stand with the vision of this ministry to warn america that she must stop sinning and turn to Jesus with her whole heart to
avoid judgement with a monthly donation. (if you pay us you will avoid judgement?)
Partaker $30 a month(free CRUSADER MAG..???WTF??? mag)
Partaker plus $50 a month (free vid)
Silver partaker $100 a month (free entry to clubs)
Gold partaker $500 a month
Platium partaker $1000 a month (membership in prophecy events) (is this witch burning? Koran burning?)
and then has a bit at 0:0029 stating that the prophecy club can not be held responsible for every comment the speakers make.
Sorry but this is BS and I stopped watching after 29 secs regardless of what the person is saying.

Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets tell fortunes for money. Yet they lean upon the LORD and say, "Is not
the LORD among us? No disaster will come upon us." -Micah 3:11

It has everything to do with it.
How so?
If a "God" exists, whatever name God goes by in a culture shouldn't matter.
Consider the moon. Depending on what language you speak, you will refer to it as the Moon, Luna, whatever. But the moon doesn't change because you
give it a different name. Its essense is still the same.
If God exists, God does so independent of what people call God. Therefore, the name given to God does not matter, for God's fundamental nature has
not changed.
The problem with religion is the way people choose to interpret God's will. That interpretation is religion. Those who refer to God as Allah
interpret God in one way. Those who refer to God as God do so in a different way.
Human interpretation will always be accompanied by human error.
As for the historical roots of the three major religions: Judaism was the beginning version. Abraham's son Ishmael provided the foundation for
Islam. Abraham's son Issacc continued the Jewish traditions. Later on, with the birth of Jesus, Christianity began.
All three religions are known as the Abrahamic religions for a reason: their foundations lie with Abraham.
Both had the same prophets, including Moses and Jesus. Both are attributed similar acts, and give similar laws.
Their God is built off Yahweh. Whether or not it's interpreted differently, or is seen in a different light, doesn't change that.
My Immortal, Harry Potter fan-fiction. Arguably one of the worst fan fictions ever. Harry AKA "Vampire" in the horribly written story, is nothing
like, and contradicts the books written by J. K. Rowling. They are the same Harry though, that much is obvious. Obviously My Immortal's sexualized
emo-vampire edition of Harry isn't canonical, but it's still obviously meant to be Harry Potter.
The Quran has the same deity described as the bible. If you wish to see it as non-canonical fan-fiction, go straight ahead. However, the fact that
it's derived from the same deity, and is meant to be the same deity, is undeniable.

Lets say hypothetically, this deity is real. He's obviously interpreted in very different ways. All the Abrahamic religions are different
interpretations of him, but they are still of the same character none the less. Remember, "Allah" isn't a name, but an Arabian word for "God".
Treated like a name, yes, but it's the same word many Christians and Jews also used back in the past before the english "Gee Oh Dee" had been
established.

You want to criticize Islam, go straight ahead. There's plenty to criticize. However, use honest criticisms, not bull.
