The first lie is the name of The Creator, whom he called Allah. Although cited as the God of Abraham, the name Allah is actually a derivation of Al-ilah, which is derived from Lil, the pagan idol of ancient Sumeria. The true name of the God of Abraham is El or El-Elyon contained in the Torah.

sal88, sorry if you dont agree with a Christian point of view.
the apostles wrote about this false prophet over 600 years before the existence of the Qur'an, that fact is not disputed.
my interpretation leads me to believe that Muhammad COULD be the prophet they were referring to.
I should be more like most others here & spew every thought that passes through my mind.
it may have been a dirty trick
blame the evil media for teaching me the art of sensationalism.
it is no worse than a muslims view of Christians
would you like to tell them they are all idiotic as well?
really dont think it is fair to comment until you have read the entire post.
either way, it would be more intelligent to try to understand my point of view & reasoning & then correct my mistakes than to give up that soon.
that is, after all, the point of the whole thread. I come here to learn!

the only connection I edited in was the justification part. anyone who has seen the news at least once in the last few years wold have understood the connection. anyone who doesnt think religion plays a part in this war is clueless, its the extremists ONLY justification! add that to the fact that Bush references God and "good vs. evil" every time he addresses the war effort & I thought my point was clear to everyone.
edit: maybe the part questioning the qualifications of the mod was uncalled for and unfounded. I respectfully remove it & apologize.

Metalmessiah, there's been arguements that the apostle Paul, otherwise known as Saul, is the false prophet spoken of in the Old Testament. I'm sure you could dig up something on the internet, but first try this; read once again the New Testament and take out all that Paul wrote, and perhaps you will recieve a better understanding of what the New Testament is all about.

I'm sorry, but i too believe that muhammod was the false prophet. What exactly did he prophesies? I'm really asking that, because from what i have heard he really prophesised nothing, therefore, anyone claiming to be a prophet and not prophesising anything should then be considered a False Prophet.

if my posts are such a waste of your time then why even respond?
I did come to learn from other sensible members who can disagree without name calling.
merely the fact of when that was written.
they [the rcc] were in control of what got cannonized
