@Lazy:
This is silly! Language is a part of the culture of a people and Christ is all things to all men, so that he might save them. What he is saying is that when he is being worshiped by Arabs he is Arab. So when he is Arab, and their language is Arabic, God's name is Allah. When he is with English, and their language is English, God's name is God. You cannot express spirituality outside of culture and Christ can adapt to any culture as long as you follow his laws. People have to learn how to separate culture from spirituality.
Lazy (man), if Jesus was what you said he is in Arabic; why do the Arab Christians call him, Jesus; Isa, and God Almighty Creator Allah? Why does the Qur'an refers to Jesus; Isa bin Marian, Massiah, rasul bani Israil, ruh llah, etc? Now am going to kill your argument above by attacking what you wrote below.
1 Corinthians 9:20-22
20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
Was Jesus the speaker here or Paul/somebody else, but not Jesus? If Jesus is not the speaker, how can you makethe statement above or, unless Jesus had invaded the body of Paul/the speaker of this verse, hence his reincarnate? Is this possible? I doubt it! All you have put forward is a deceitful way to lure the unsupecting!
21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
See what I mean? Another classical deceit! Going outside the boundary of responsibility. You see, Jesus never ministered outside the boundary of Children of Israel. But Paul, had to ignore jesus and go as far as he can, to deceive people and gain their commitments.
22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
This guy was more influencial that Jesus on those who claimed to be in a religion named after Jesus! The camelion pretends to be weak when he is talking to weak people! see the graet deceptions?
