eshbeewanna:
You are just what I call you, the moment you see the truth you look for other excuses. if I post somebody's article is just to make you understand the issue better. Is there anything wrong in that?
I only used his article to educate you oga!Rather than referring you to go and check the site I only brought it to your door step.
May be it is because I used the word let me educate you.
Is that the bone of contention here?
A sincere seeker of truth should be ready to accept the truth irrespective of where the truth comes from.

You have been claiming that yahweh is the name of God.You didn't even know that the word yahweh is just a title or attributes just like we mention Allah's attributes to you in the verses we mentioned to you.where Allah clealy mention his name and his attributes but you rather objected to it.when you discovered the verse quoted answered your question.
The yahweh you were beating your chest about is not different either.Yahweh simply means the lord which cannot be regarded as the true name of God but rather an adjective too. You see how I exposed your ignorance.
But the funny thing is that Jesus your master never used the word yahweh for God once in the new testament.what a shame!
Jesus that you claimed that is God didn't even know that he is yahweh let alone mentioning it to the disciples.
Instead he mentioned Eloi Eloi lamasabaktani(my God,My God why did you forsake me)which is the same thing in arabic Allah,Allah limaa sabbacktanni.
Jesus knew God's name to be Eloi,Elaw,Elohim which in arabic is Allah.
Your ignorance did not inform you that Jesus spoke hebrew which is aramaic just like arabic. They are sister languages they have a lot in common.But the mere fact that your bible was written in greek language and later translated to english has really deprived you of so mAny things
Please show me in the new testament where jesus used the word yahweh for God.If you can't the tag of being a liar,Ignorant and also hypocrite shall forever be on you.
If you like go and forge a bible verse.You will see how am going to bust you seriously.
I have been making you make a fool of yourself since but you didn't know because your bible used the word El shaddai for God too which appear in genesis and you never mentioned it because it appear before the word yahweh.But the truth here again is that El shaddai too is a title.

The Names of God in the Old Testament

El Shaddai (Lord God Almighty)
El Elyon (The Most High God)
Adonai (Lord, Master)
Yahweh (Lord, Jehovah)
Jehovah Nissi (The Lord My Banner)
Jehovah-Raah (The Lord My Shepherd)
Jehovah Rapha (The Lord That Heals)
Jehovah Shammah (The Lord Is There)
Jehovah Tsidkenu (The Lord Our Righteousness)
Jehovah Mekoddishkem (The Lord Who Sanctifies You)
El Olam (The Everlasting God)
Elohim (God)
Qanna (Jealous)
Jehovah Jireh (The Lord Will Provide)
Jehovah Shalom (The Lord Is Peace)
Jehovah Sabaoth (The Lord of Hosts)

But the word Elohim(God)is Called Allahumma in arabic the( im) and(um)in aramaic language is used for respect.Is either you call him Eloi,Eloh and Allah or Eloim or Allahumma.
If you look at the names above its only Elohim that interpreted to be God while others are mere attributes just like we have been telling you.
We know you and your like mission on this platform is nothing but to tell lies against islam and also to distort the truth.
We will used your bible to refute your pack of lies.I would rather follow what jesus say rather than follow ignorant like you.
You criticise the word Allah all the time but yet you couldn't do away with it in your bible.what a big shame on you!
You christians are so criminal minded to extent that you rob your fellow arab christians their right of expression just because majority of them are muslims.The hatred you have for Islam has made you to bash their God Allah just because you want to impose on them the word yahweh which they understand better than you do.
Mind you jesus didn't speak greek neither did he speak english but he spoke hebrew which is very close to arabic.If you want to understand jesus and bible teaching verywell go make research on the hebrew bible and you will be more enlightened.Below are few example of the similarities in both languages

HEBREW. ARABIC. ENGLISH

Elah. Ilah. god
Ikhud. Ahud. one
Yaum. Yaum. day
Shaloam. Salaam. peace
Yahuwa. Ya Huwa. O he

Let me give you another example to help you.
If someone is black in colour and his name is Jude.But he also calls himself blackky.Now he agrees to be called blackky which is his other name he answers anytime people call him Blackky.Obviously people will know that Blackky can't be his real name but an attribute or characteristic.
However, if you ask the person his name officially he will not tell you Blackky but rather he will tell you Jude, is real name. But that does not mean if you call him Blackky he won't answer you.

Now Allah says:

Say or Call him Allah or Rahman(The Merciful) to him belong the most beautiful names.
In the verse above Allah let us know that his real name is Allah because he mention first Allah which he refers himself to be in several places in the quran.And next he mentioned his attribute ar-rahman(the merciful) just like I explain to you in the example I gave you above.

In another place he said again

Say he is Allah,the one and only.
Allah,the eternal.
He begeth not,nor is he begothen....

We can see above again he his stressing his real name Allah before mentioning his attributes.
In fact he calls himself Allah several times in the Quran to proove that,that is his real name.

But the truth is talking to you is like talking to somebody that is blind,deaf and dumb.It will not profit him.

Now with the above, you have just confirmed beyond reasonable doubt that you are a shameless incorrigible so and so
How can you lift an entire article word for word and not give credit to the owner or paste the source

Dont know what else to do if after giving you some proper "education", a bit of Bible 101 of the below, you cant swallow your pride, suck it up and stop whining.

YHWH is Allah's direct addressing (i.e. Allah/God's name). YHWH is God's name.
It is a proper noun and not an adjective like Al-Samad and others of the sort are

The Jews feel God's name (i.e. YHWH) is too sacred to mention, utter or write down, so whenever or instead of writing YHWH they say or replace it with Adonai, Adonai means owner and its English equivalent is Lord

Your plagiarised article is ignorant that, as Allah is God in Arabic, so "Eloi" is God in Aramaic.

The Hebrews, all dont necessarily speak or understand Aramaic which is why they said "He is calling of Eli" thinking He was calling on Elijah
not realising Jesus actually was saying "My God, my God...."

@myttleylaff; BUHARI IS A NAME. ALLAH IS A NAME. BUHARI SAYS I AM BUHARI. ALLAH SAYS I AM ALLAH.
PRESIDENT IS A TITLE; THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNTRY CALLED NIGERIA. CREATOR IS A TITLE; THE CREATOR OF ALL.

Sweetnecta, hmm, though you are doing a circular argument, lets try this another way.
Sweetnecta, please tell, what is God to an Arabic Christian or what is God in an Arabic Christian's tongue

Sweetnecta:
AND AS TO GOD/god, MY GOD MAY BE god TO YOU BECAUSE I WORSHIP HIM, BUT YOU DONT

We havent gone to that level about whether your God maybe "God" or "god" yet
We haven't discussed what your God may be to me yet.
We have only wrestled with the fact and truth that God in English, is Allah in Arabic (i.e. the one Person)
We also tried to establish and agree on what God/Allah specifically said His name is

Sweetnecta:
ALLAH IS THE NAME OF MY GOD. GOD/god IN ARABIC IS ILLAH WHILE THE GOD IS REAL, THE god IS NOT REAL;
THE GOD IS ALLAH, THE god IS AL UZZA, AL MANAH, ETC, EACH OF THE god BEING IDOL AND NOW DESTROYED.
ALLAH WAS NEVER REPRESENTED ON EARTH BY ANYTHING PHYSICAL DURING THE TIME THE ARABS ADOPTED PAGANISM.

All asked was the verse where Allah stated specifically that His name is so-so and so
I am Allah doesnt wash as His name, just like I am President wont wash as Buhari implying President is his name
You see now that Allah/God, just like President in these contexts are titles and not direct address of persons

Sweetnecta:
BELOW IS DEFINITION OF GOD/god; www.thefreedictionary.com/god

god
Also found in: Medical, Legal, Acronyms, Idioms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.
god (gŏd)
n.
1. God
a. A being conceived as the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient originator and ruler of the universe, the principal object of faith and worship in monotheistic religions.
b. The force, effect, or a manifestation or aspect of this being.
2. A being of supernatural powers or attributes, believed in and worshiped by a people, especially a male deity thought to control some part of nature or reality.
3. An image of a supernatural being; an idol.
4. One that is worshiped, idealized, or followed: Money was their god.

Thank you for this redundant and recycled effort.

ENGLISH IS NOT THE STANDARD LANGUAGE OF SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE, AT LEAST NOT IN ISLAM.

OK, I hear you and this opinion of your isnt necessarily a barrier though, or is it?
Out of curiosity, what is THE STANDARD LANGUAGE OF SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE, AT LEAST IN CHRISTIANITY

Sweetnecta:
IF ARABS AND MUSLIMS SAY ALLAH IS A PROPER NAME FOR A BEING THAT THE ENGLISH WILL SAY IS GOD THE CREATOR, NOT THE GODS THAT HAVE EXISTED WHILE NONE OF THEM IS THE BEING THAT IS TRULY GOD, HOW DO YOU ARGUE AGAINST THAT WHEN YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF THE DEPTH OF THE TRUTH OF THE STATEMENT?

How do you argue against God saying specifically: "My name is YHWH"
Mind you, there is a good guess WHY ARABS AND MUSLIMS SAY ALLAH IS A PROPER NAME INSTEAD OF YHWH OTHERWISE KNOWN AS YAHWEH OR JEHOVAH

Sweetnecta:
DOESNT ELOI, ELAH OF SCOFFIELD BIBLE SOUND LIKE ALLAH AND NOT LIKE YAHWEH, JEHOVAH OR GOD?

DONT YOU KNOW THAT ELOI, ELAH AND ALLAH ARE SEMITIC TONGUES OR LANGUAGES?
DONT YOU KNOW THAT THEY ALL MEAN THE SAME THING?
DONT YOU KNOW THAT THEY ALL MEAN "God" AND DO NOT MEAN YAHWEH, JEHOVAH OR YHWH, THE NAME OF GOD?

ALLAH IN THE BIBLE

The above exercise proves that El, Elah and Elohim are not three distinctly different words. They all represent the single Arabic word Allah. This is not my wishful thinking. Please see below. It is a photostatic reproduction of a page from the English Bible, edited by Rev. C. I. Scofield,D.D., with his Bible Commentary· This Doctor of Divinity is well respected among the Bible Scholars of the Christian world. He is backed in his "NEW AND IMPROVED EDITION" of this translation by a galaxy of eight other D.D.'s:

Rev. Henry G. Weston, D.D., LL.D., President Crozer Theological jeminary.
Rev. W. G. Moorehead, D.D., President Xenia (U.I,) Theological Seminary.
Rev. lames M. Gray, D.D., President Moody Bible Institute.
Rev. Elmore Harris, D.D., President Toronto Bible Institute.
Rev. William !. Erdman, D.D., Author "The Gospel of John," etc.
Rev. Arthur T. Pierson, D.D., Author, Editor, Teacher, etc.
Rev. William L. Pettingill, D.D., Author, Editor, Teacher.
Arno C. Gaebelein, Author "Harmoney of Prophetic Word," etc.

I have not listed the above luminaries to awe you. They have been unanimous in supporting Rev. Scofield in his "New and Improved" commentary.

Please note that in their comment No. 1 below left, they concur that - "Elohim, (sometimes El or Elah meaning God)" and alternatively spelled "Alah" (line three, third word). All the eight D.D.'s above could not have been blind in dittoing the spelling "Alah" for God. How far were they from the Arabic word spelled - ALLAH - in English, I ask you dear reader? This is Allah's handiwork, but the Devil (I must give him a capital "," he deserves it) was not slow in making a quick come-back through his agents. He succeeded in firing all the D.D.'s responsible for that debacle, and had them replaced by nine others with more impressive degrees than the previous lot. You will find them in the recent reproduction of "The New Scofield Reference Bible." You will not be able to lay your hands anymore on the Bible with "Alah" in it. The Devil has seen to that.
genesis1.jpg genesis2.jpg (88228 bytes)

MY ONLY PLEA

I had made some public statements regarding my discovery of the word "Alah" as alternatively spelled from the usual Christian spelling "Elah." My plea to the Christians was this that spell the word as you like, with an "A" or an "E", with a single "L" or double "LL's", but for goodness sake pronounce the word correctly, as we Muslims do. Because even with its proper Anglicised spelling -
A L L A H: "IT IS SO FAR FROM ITS ARABIC ORIGINAL, WHEN PRONOUNCED WITH A THIN ENGLISH CONSONANT AND FEEBLE VOWELS, THAT MANY AN ARAB MUSLIM WOULD FIND IT UNRECOGNIZABLE." Says Rev. Kenneth Cragg, the Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem in his book, "The Call of the Minaret," page 36.

As much as the Englishman has the right to dictate to us as to how his language is to be sounded, surely we Muslims have as much right to demand a common courtesy when taking the name of God. We do not wish the word Allah to go into limbo like the "Yahuwa" of the ]ews. More than 6000 times the formula "YAHUWA ELAH," or ya"HUWA ALAH," or "HUWALLAH," (He is Allah!) occur in the Hebrew manuscripts of the Jewish Bible, commonly called the "Old Testament," by the Christians. If this fact is openly acknowledged by the learned men of Christianity and broadcasted as Rev. Scofield had done then the day for Muslims and Christians to worship God together would not be far distant. But the Devil will not have it. Vested interests are involved. Instead of pronouncing the word ALAH correctly, they would rather have the whole word omitted.

QUICK ABROGATION

"Now You See It" - "Now You Don't" is an old, old gimmick in the West. Compare the above and see how cleverly, how deftly the new band of missionaries expunged the word "Alah" from the "Authorised King James Version" of the Scofield translation of the Bible1. . . .

1. For further examples of the Christian gymnastics in the Bible, see Chapter 4 in my book - "Is the Bible God's Word?".

UNIQUE NAME FOR UNIQUE GOD

. . . "Further, in English, if some gentleman was to look after somebody's child as a guardian, we would say that he is a "godfather" to the child, and the woman - a "god- mother" to the child. And if one tried to be a bit too funny, a bit too clever, one would say -'What do you think of yourself, are you a tin god!' We spell god with a capital "G" (God), and we spell god with a small "g" (god), which creates in your minds grades and grades of divinities." . . .

. . . You have a variety of choices in the list above. Take your pick like that old woman who lit one candle to St. Michael and another to the Devil. So that whether she went to Heaven or to Hell she would have a friend.

Jupiter the god of Heaven
Pluto the god of Hell
Mars the god of War
Neptune the god of the Sea and
Zeus the god-father of them all

with his many wives and many children. His Hercules, his Appolo, his Horus, his Isis and Osiris.

Ahmed Deedat's? Hmm? May his soul rest in peace
You guys always rely and fall back on other people's long articles to shore yourselves up
I guess you all do this as ploy or last resort more likely to tire out and obfuscate people than enlighten them

Well, if you did read my previous posts, you would note, I too had earlier & always stated that God is Allah in Arabic, and Allah is God in English
Also made the distinction between "God" and "god" like done in that article.
What we seems to be locking horns over is that Allah/God said in the Bible that His name is YHWH and it is His name forever
He didnt say "I am YHWH" but did say, importantly, "My name is YHWH"

Today, he was called out and shamed on twitter for claiming that PMB hasn't reacted to the recent Boko Haram bombings when in actual fact he has.
He's too much in a hurry to be seen as "holding PMB to account". He should swallow a chill pill abegi. No be only him vote PMB or carry PMB for head. Awitan, he's even based in the UK. Even people living and working fulltime in Nigeria are giving PMB and his new government time to settle down.

eshbeewanna:
It is obvious here that you are just playing pranks. You asked for a verse where Allah calls is name Allah.

No, I did not ask where Allah calls His name Allah, as I know, Allah isnt God's name
I asked for a verse where Allah (i.e. God) said what His name is
but you came back with Allah, which is a title
and also added as names of Allah, a few bunch of other attributes or adjectives describing Allah/God's attributes

eshbeewanna:
I gave it to you, you quickly twisted it again that I should give you just the way the bible stated it.
The quranic verses stated it clearly that Allah is God's name and that if you choose to call him by his attributes you are free.

No you gave a verse saying "I am Allah, call me whatever name under the sun etc". The verse at no point say "My name is this or that, or call me by this or that name"
You mistake qualifying with twisting
I had to qualify the question and asked that, just like the Bible verses I showed earlier, where in the Quran, did Allah or God say "My name is so-so or so"

eshbeewanna:
I have said before now that even if God himself comes down to tell you is name you will still not believe just because of your wrong mind set.

under which stone have you been living?
God has already has told us what His name is. Numerous times He said it.
Do these verses mean anything to you Alfa?
Exodus 6:3
and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as God Almighty, but by my name the LORD (YHWH) I was not known to them

Exodus 6:3
I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as El-Shaddai--'God Almighty'--but I did not reveal my name, Yahweh, to them.

eshbeewanna:
However I will still take my time to educate you again.

You mean your plagiarised post that followed
That article you plagiarised which is riddled with misleading interpretation of what YHWH means

Let's give you some proper "education", a bit of Bible 101

YHWH is Allah's direct addressing (i.e. Allah/God's name). YHWH is God's name.
It is a proper noun and not an adjective like Al-Samad and others of the sort are

The Jews feel God's name (i.e. YHWH) is too sacred to mention, utter or write down, so whenever or instead of writing YHWH they say or replace it with Adonai, Adonai means owner and its English equivalent is Lord

Your plagiarised article is ignorant that, as Allah is God in Arabic, so "Eloi" is God in Aramaic.

The Hebrews, all dont necessarily speak or understand Aramaic which is why they said "He is calling of Eli" thinking He was calling on Elijah
not realising Jesus actually was saying "My God, my God...."

eshbeewanna:
To begin with,how can a title beginning with "the" be a name? Yahweh, also means "the Eternal", which means "Al-Samad" in Arabic. It's just a title!
"Yahweh" wasn't even the first thing GOD Almighty was addressed with in the Bible!
So why then does the Arabic Bible use "Allah" and "Yahweh" for GOD?
Why did Jesus choose to say the Aramaic "Eloi" to the Hebrew speaking people?

One thing that many non-Hebrew speaking Jews and Christians mistake about is the name of GOD Almighty in the Bible. "Yahweh" in Hebrew means "The LORD" or the "The GOD". It is not a name. Let us look at the following quotations from Christian and Jewish resources:

"Judaism teaches that while God's name exists in written form, it is too holy to be pronounced. The result has been that, over the last 2000 years, the correct pronunciation has been lost."

"About 3,500 years ago, God spoke to Moses, saying: 'Thus shall you speak to the Israelites: The LORD [Hebrew: YHWH], the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you: This shall be My name forever, this My appellation for all eternity.' (Exodus 3:15; Psalm 135:13)" (Mankind's Search for GOD, p.225).

"....the four Hebrew consonants YHWH (Yahweh) that in their Latinized form have come to be known over the centuries in English as JEHOVAH." (Mankind's Search for GOD, p.225).

So the word "YHWH" or "Yahweh" or "Jehovah" is not the ORIGINAL name, but the appellation (title) for the Almighty GOD. This is perfectly fine, because Jews, Christians and Muslims call on to GOD Almighty as "The LORD" or "The GOD", which means "Yahweh" or "Jehovah" in Hebrew and "Al-Rab" in Arabic. "Al-Rab" in Arabic and "Yahweh" in Hebrew and the other translations in all other languages are indeed GOD Almighty's title. But they are NOT His original Name!

Let us look at what Exodus 3:15 and Psalm 135:13 from the NIV Bible say: "God also said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites, `The LORD [Notice that they didn't write Jehovah. "The LORD" in only a title], the God of your fathers--the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob--has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation. (From the NIV Bible, Exodus 3:15)"

"Your name, O LORD, endures forever, your renown, O LORD, through all generations. (From the NIV Bible, Psalm 135:13)"

So as we clearly see from the above Verses from the NIV Bible, the original name for GOD Almighty is not "Yahweh". The title "The LORD" is only a title and a nick name (if you will) that we give to GOD Almighty. But "Yahweh" is definitely NOT THE ORIGINAL NAME for GOD Almighty.

"Allah" on the other hand is a name. It is the name of GOD Almighty. Below, you will see ample proofs from the Aramaic language that the name of GOD Almighty was indeed "Allah".

"GOD" in Arabic and Aramaic sound the same, and it is "Allah".

Jesus peace be upon him spoke Aramaic during his ministry.

"Allah" is GOD's Name, "Elaw" means "GOD" in Aramaic: How can they be the same? I clearly proved from the Noble Quran that "Allah" means the Supreme GOD Almighty in Arabic.

How can a title beginning with "the" be a name?

Beside the crystal clear proofs above about Yahweh or Jehovah being just a title or "appellation" (Exodus 3:15) for GOD Almighty, I would like to raise this simple question, and simple common sense test:

How can any title that begins with "the" be a name?

If I call you "the man", as it is a common slang for a person to be called that here in the US, would that really make your name "the man"?

A Christian just recently told me that in Hebrew, Yahweh not only means "The LORD" or the "The GOD", but it also means "The Eternal" (according to the New Dictionary of the Bible). That's all perfect with me.

The Eternal, Yahweh or Jehovah, means "Al-Samad" in Arabic. Allah Almighty called Himself "Al-Samad" in the Noble Quran (Noble Verse 112:2). I am willing to address Allah Almighty from now on by the "Al-Samad" title (Yahweh in Hebrew) and not by "Allah Almighty" (His Holy Name) if that's going to make Christians understand Islam and embrace it!

How difficult is it to comprehend that a title beginning with "the" can never be a name! Let alone being an original name!

"Yahweh" wasn't even the first thing GOD Almighty was addressed with in the Bible!

Some Christians still insist that GOD Almighty's original Holy Name was Yahweh. They rely on Exodus 3:15 to prove this nonsense. I clearly proved in the section above that "Yahweh" in Exodus 3:15 was only a title and not a name, and it means "The LORD", "The GOD" and the "The Eternal" (according to the New Dictionary of the Bible).

Now, let's assume for a second that "Yahweh" is a name, which is really ridiculous since its English translation starts with "the". This still doesn't prove that GOD Almighty's original name is Yahweh! Exodus 3:15 that Christians are so big on using was revealed to Prophet Moses peace be upon him. How many years are there between Adam and Moses peace be upon them? Probably thousands! If not even millions!

So according to the Christians' logic, GOD Almighty was Nameless from the time of Adam until the time of Moses where He, the Almighty, supposedly had finally found Himself and His identity. Correct? Wrong! That's all a bunch of nonsense!

GOD Almighty's original Holy Name is clearly "Allah" or "Elaw"! Like I said above, when Jesus peace be upon him was put on the cross, he cried to GOD Almighty and said "Eloi", which is derived from "Elaw" or "Allah". He didn't say "Yahwahoi"!

Therefore, any Christian who decides to act stubborn and reject the crystal clear fact that GOD Almighty's original Holy Name was indeed "Allah", because of fearing that it would prove Islam to be the faith of Truth, is guilty of sinning against GOD Almighty!

Since the original post has been derailed and is not progressively moving on,
well it's now time to steer it back to what "The Spirit Of Truth" is really all about, where it is coming from and it's purpose

John 14:16-17
¹⁶I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever;
¹⁷that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him,
but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

John 14:26
However, the helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything.
He will remind you of everything that I have ever told you.

John 15:26
But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth,
who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me

1 Corinthians 2:10-12
¹⁰But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets.
¹¹No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit.
¹²And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us.

YOU SOUND LIKE A YOUNG MAN TELLING ME SOMETIMES THAT IT IS GENERATION THAT INVENTED SOME LINGO AND I REALIZED HE WAS STILL IN HIS 20S IS HIS REASON FOR THINKING THE BUCK STARTED ROLLING WITH HIS GENERATION. MY NAME DOES NOT HAVE AN OYINBO EQUIVALENCE JUST LIKE ALLAH DOES.

... THAT EXACTLY IS THE POINT, FACT AND TRUTH OF THIS MATTER
GOD'S NAME YHWH OTHERWISE CALLED JEHOVAH OR YAHWEH DOESNT HAVE AN OYINBO EQUIVALENCE
THE OYINBO EQUIVALENCE OF ALLAH HOWEVER IS GOD

Sweetnecta:
THE OYINBOS DON'T HAVE A PROPER NAME FOR CREATOR. THEY DO NOT HAVE A REVELATION AND THE REVELATION IN THEIR HANDS HAS ALLAH SOUNDING WORD FOR PROPER NAME OF THE CREATOR

EVERY TONGUE HAS A TITLE FOR THE CREATOR BUT DONT NECESSARILY KNOW HIS DIRECT ADDRESS OR NAME

Sweetnecta:
surah Taha 20: 9-21; HE SAYS I AM ALLAH AND HE DIDNT SAY I AM GOD BECAUSE THE WORD ALLAH IS NOT TRANSLATED. GET IT? IT IS NOT LIKE SAYING BUHARI SAYING I AM PRESIDENT BUT IT IS LIKE THE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA SAYING I AM BUHARI, IN NIGERIA OF TODAY YOU HAVE NO OTHER PRESIDENT BESIDE ME, SO LISTEN TO MY COMMAND AND CARRY IT OUT AS A SOLDIER.
I AM MUSLIM AND I READ QURAN IN ARABIC AND I HAVE SURAH TAHA IN FRONT OF ME RIGHT NOW. YOU ARE NOT A MUSLIM AND EVEN IF YOU READ ARABIC, SINCE YOUR HEART HAS NO IDAYAH IN IT YET, IT WILL NOT GET YOU TO REFLECT THAT ALLAH IS LEFT IN ARABIC AND NOT REPLACED BY ANY OYINBO WORD. A PERSON SAYS I AM JAMES. DOES HE HAVE TO SAY MY NAME IS JAMES FOR YOU TO KNOW THAT INDEED HIS NAME IS JAMES?

Sweetnecta:
WHEN ALLAH SAYS I AM ALLAH IT MEANS I AM ALLAH BY NAME AND NOT ONE CAN BEAR THAT NAME WITH ME EXCEPT THAT HE IS LYING BECAUSE HE HAS NO RIGHT TO DO SO. IS GOD NOT THE SAME AS LORD WHEN YOU SAY OH GOD OR OH LORD? BUT NEITHER IS NAME OF THE CREATOR. AT LEAST NOT IN PROPER BOOKS OF REVELATIONS IN SPITE OF ALL EXCEPT 1 BEING CORRUPTED AWAY FROM THE PRISTINE ORIGINAL EACH WAS IN THE TIME OF THE RECEIVER?

ALHAJI, DONT HELP THE QUARAN, JUST PROVIDE THE VERSE WHERE ALLAH CATEGORICALLY SAYS "MY NAME IS SO-SO AND SO"

Sweetnecta:
10;2 Have the people been amazed that We revealed [revelation] to a man from among them, [saying], "Warn mankind and give good tidings to those who believe that they will have a [firm] precedence of honor with their Lord"? [But] the disbelievers say, "Indeed, this is an obvious magician."

10:3 Indeed, your Lord is Allah , who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne, arranging the matter [of His creation]. There is no intercessor except after His permission. That is Allah , your Lord, so worship Him. Then will you not remember?

2;255;

'Allah. There is no god[God] but He,-the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory).'
(Surat Al- Baqara:255)
WE SEE THAT THE NAME ALLAH STANDS AND GOD STANDS SEPARATELY TO INDICATE THAT THERE COULD BE MANY WITH SUCH NAME,

ALHAJI, NOT SO FAST, YOU SNEAKILY TRIED TO HELP THE VERSE THERE
NOTE IT HAD "god" BUT YOU OR SOMEONE EDITED IT WITH "God" IN BRACKETS
YOU DO AGREE THAT "gods" HAVE NAMES JUST AS GOD OR ALLAH HAS HIS NAME?

Sweetnecta:
BUT ONLY ONE CAN CLAIM TO BE REAL GOD. AND HIS NAME IS ALLAH. ILLA IS GOD AND THAT COULD BE ANYTHING WORSHIPED. MEN WORSHIP THEIR WIVES, ETC.

...EXACTLY! MAN MAKE A "god" OF ANYTHING THAT TAKES TO HIS FANCY OR IGNORANCE

2;257 Allah[THE NAME OF THE TRUE GOD WHO IS 1] is the ally of those who believe. He brings them out from darknesses into the light. And those who disbelieve - their allies are Taghut[THE NAME OF ALL FAKE GODS THAT PEOPLE WORSHIP SO TRINITARIAN GOD CONSEPT WILL FALL INTO THIS]. They take them out of the light into darknesses. Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.

DONT GET EMASCULATED, TRUTHFUL WORDS ALWAYS STAND THE TEST OF TIME BUT LIES ARE SOON EXPOSED

eshbeewanna:
The Quran says:

Say: "Call upon Allah, or call upon Rahman: by whatever name ye call upon Him, (it is well):
for to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Neither speak thy Prayer aloud, nor speak it in a low tone, but seek a middle course between."

"Call upon Allah" means Call upon God, Rahman means Most Gracious (i.e. still an adjective and another of God's many atrributes)
and "by whatever name ye call upon Him" is not His name
The Quran gives you a blank canvass about God's real or actual name,
whereas the Bible has God (i.e. Allah) so many times categorically state what His name is

eshbeewanna:
You can see that Allah says" by whatever name you call upon him"
Is name is Allah.

Yes I can see but where does it says what Allah's, God's direct name is

eshbeewanna:
Again in the Quran Allah says instructs we muslims that before we start any act of worship or prayer we must invoke the name of Allah.That is why you see the statement always in the begining of every chapter in the Quran

Bismillahi Rahman Raheem meaning (In The Name of Allah The Most merciful,The Most Gracious)

This actually means In The Name of Allah The Most merciful,The Most Gracious but what is the name of Allah gan-gan. What is God's name ogbeni.

eshbeewanna:
But the problem with you christians is that you have a mind set which you don't want to change. Which makes you to twist what is obvious.

There is this Yoruba adage which says: "Ai tete mu ole, ole nmu oloko"
loosely meaning, "the thief is raising the alarm before the owner does"

eshbeewanna:
If you read my post above you will understand better. To be candid this question about the name of Allah is illogical.
The word for God in arabic is Rabb(God/Lord)in English. While his name is Allah.

Again as earlier told Sweetnecta, the word for God in Arabic is, Allah
whereas Rabb is, Lord in English, and Adonai in Hebrew. Rabb is an adjective and not a noun.
Please stop all this Taqiyya, and if its not genuine Taqiyya, then curb the ignorance

When Sweetnecta was asked to share the verse where Allah says: "My name is so-so and so" he dismally failed to do so
Here is giving you the opportunity to share with all where Allah categorically says: "My name is so-so and so"

Here are a few examples for you to follow showing Allah in the Bible saying what His name is:

Exodus 6:3
and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as God Almighty, but by my name the LORD (YHWH) I was not known to them

Exodus 6:3
I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as El-Shaddai--'God Almighty'--but I did not reveal my name, Yahweh, to them.

Isaiah 42:8
"I am Yahweh. That is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to engraved images

Psalm 68:4
Sing to God! Sing praises to His name. Exalt Him who rides on the clouds -- His name is Yahweh--and rejoice before Him

Sweetnecta and eshbeewanna, who is and what is YHWH, otherwise known as Yahweh or Jehovah in Exodus 6:3, Isaiah 42:8 and Psalm 68:4

Dont keep us waiting, please also kindly attempt matching verses in the Quran JUST LIKE ONES IN BIBLE VERSES ABOVE where Allah categorically states what His name is or where His name (i.e. direct address) is categorically stated

Christianity Etc › Re: Who Is The Spirit Of Truth In The Holly Bible. by MuttleyLaff: 12:05pm On May 31, 2015*

^^^
Sweetnecta sorry I am not quoting you, though I would love to for posterity sake,
but you're repeating and recycling what has already been mentioned but confusing and mixing them up

Why do you keeping repeating an answered question, asking "COULD YOU TELL ME THE NAME OF GOD IN ENGLISH EXCEPT IT IS GOD" ?
The name of God, name of Allah, for the umpteeth time is YHWH, also known as Yahweh or Jehovah, choose whichever floats your boat

What is the difference in Allah and God?
What is Allah? What is God?
What is the name of Allah? What is the name of God? Bet you are going to say the name of Allah is Allah

Again, Allah is not a name of God, just like President is not Buhari's name
Please tell us your middle indigenious Naija name, then without translating it, tell us what is your middle name in English.

Remember I volunteered the exact verses where Moses met Allah (i.e. God) for the first time (i.e. in surah Taha 20: 9-21),
and there God did not say my name is Allah to Moses but said "I am Allah or I am God"
This is like Buhari saying I am President, and we all know that President is not Buhari's name

I also earlier suggested that you check surah Taha 20:14 to read the dialogue between Allah and Moses
It reads "I am Allah, there is no god except Me..." which effectively means "I am God, there is no god except Me..."
note the difference and distinction there, it DID NOT say "My NAME is Allah"
I dont know what you're on about with this your parrotting defense mechanism

You keep dropping adjectives of Allah or attributes of God, without giving us the proper name.
Give us a verse where Allah said: "My NAME is so-so and so..."

PS: I dont want you off Nairaland, please keep your mature posts coming, just that I didnt know you still post, thought you left same time JeSoul did, thats all

Christianity Etc › Re: Who Is The Spirit Of Truth In The Holly Bible. by MuttleyLaff: 11:29am On May 31, 2015*

Sweetnecta:
h t t p s://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yte-ad6Y31s

Whats the point of pasting this video here.
Sweetnecta like I mentioned earlier, I thought you did an AWOL along with JeSoul, didnt know you very much are around on Nairaland

I dont understand why instead of answering questions posed to you, you need to bring out an Ehrman video with references to mythologies etc to hide behind
Don't dilly-dally for too long, as you are stopping the thread to progressively moved on to other levels

To begin Ehrman is a renegade Christian
though he says he doesnt believe in God anymore, he is not an Atheist (i.e. one who denies the existence of God)
he presently is Agnostic (i.e. one who doesnt believe in the understanding of God, is skeptical about the existence of God but stops short of going the true atheism path)

[quote author= Bart D. Ehrman]^32:40 I think it's important to understand that in this book I actually did not take a stand
^32:44 on either the question of whether Jesus was God or whether he was actually raised from the dead
^32:50 Erm I leave open both questions because those are theological questions based on religious beliefs
^32:58 and I'm writing the book as a historian,
^33:06 I'm not allowing my religious beliefs or disbeliefs to affect how I tell the historical story of how Christology develop
of how Jesus became God[/quote]That out of the way, now Sweetnecta, note that Ehrman's book, according to him, is about "How Jesus Became God"
and wasnt about whether Jesus was God or not
I hope you fully watched and understood Ehrman's arguments or points in the video
as I am interested to know about the points you salvaged from watching the video

Sweetnecta:
THE NAME OF MY GOD IS ALLAH.

Chief you know what you've just done here?
Repetition, is what you've done there and deliberating trying to mislead when knowing that Allah is God in Arabic
This is like you saying, THE NAME OF MY DAD IS ABBI, when we all know that Abbi is Dad in Arabic

Sweetnecta:
HE SAYS THAT TO MOSES [SA] IN SURAH TAHA.

Another thing Chief, when Moses met Allah (i.e. God) for the first time (i.e. in surah Taha 20: 9-21), God did not say my name is Allah to Moses but said "I am Allah or I am God"
This is like Buhari saying I am President, and we all know that President is not Buhari's name

Check surah Taha 20:14 to read the dialogue between Allah and Moses
It reads "I am Allah, there is no god except Me..." which effectively means "I am God, there is no god except Me..."
note the difference and distinction there, it DID NOT say "My NAME is Allah"

Sweetnecta:
I DONT KNOW HOW TO BEST EXPLAIN IT TO YOUR MIND

Try the simple or easy way for starters
Or just say admit you arent sure or dont know

Sweetnecta:
EXCEPT THAT YOU ARE ALREADY COMMITTED NOT TO ACCEPT THE TRUTH.

This is a good cop out.
Taking the easy way out of a sticky situation. Putting out this excuse to make things easier for yourself and squeeze yourself out of a tight corner

Sweetnecta:
THERE IS NO OTHER NAME FOR THE CREATOR IN ENGLISH BUT GOD, SAME FOR IT IN ARABIC BUT ALLAH.

Glad you admit this, because this is exactly what was earlier posted that God in English, Allah in Arabic, Eloi in Aramaic and El in Hebrew are all the same, they all refer to that Deity, the Creator of the universe in their respective tongue or language

Sweetnecta:
IF ALLAH IS NOT IT ESPECIALLY WHEN HE SAYS 'I AM ALLAH',

Allah is not His Name
and when He says I AM ALLAH', He is, saying 'I AM GOD'

Sweetnecta:
THEN TELL ME WHAT IT IS

Allah or God is not a name but is a title, as previously stated Sweetnecta.
The name of Allah or God, originally is YHWH, it is otherwise known as Yahweh or Jehovah

Sweetnecta:
AND WHILE YOU ARE AT IT TELL ME THE NAME OF CREATOR IN ENGLISH EXCEPT GOD.

Please dont ask a weak question or you'll get a weak answer back
Think about it, this is like me asking you of your indigenous Naija name in English or what is Oliver in indigenous Naija
- if your name is "Olu" in indigenous Naija then it still will be "Olu" in English

Sweetnecta:
THE CHRISTIANS DIDNT STOP THERE EXCEPT THAT TO SAY HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT HUMAN BUT NAMELESS AND FACELESS GHOST FORGETTING THAT GHOST COULD BE DEVILISH, UNHOLY AND SPIRIT ARE MANY AND HOLY SPIRIT HAS BEEN AROUND LONG BEFORE MAN AND HAD INTERACTED WITH MANY HUMANS [ONE OF ITS INTERACTION IS A FUNNY ONE BECAUSE IT IS QUESTIONABLE SINCE THERE IS NO PROOF FOR IT IF YOU THINK DEEPLY ABOUT IT. YOU WILL REALIZE ITS A FOOLISH STATEMENT; JOHN INSIDE THE WOMB OF AUNTY ELIZABETH JUMPING UP BECAUSE HE WAS FILLED WITH HOLY SPIRIT. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE MAKE UP OF THAT STORY AS IF WHEN EVERY BABY IN THE WOMB KICKS, HE MUST BE FILLED WITH HOLY SPIRIT]

No surprises there.
You know why it is foolish, it is because of verses like 1 Corinthians 1:20-21 and 1 Corinthians 1:27

1 Corinthians 1:20-21
²⁰Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
²¹For since in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe

1 Corinthians 1:27
But God chose what the world thinks foolish to shame the wise,
and God chose what the world thinks weak to shame the strong.

Sweetnecta:
IS PROPHET NOT A SPIRIT AND PROPHET FROM GOD IS NOT A SPIRIT FROM GOD TO INDICATE IT MUST BE HOLY? LET US CHECK THIS OUT WITH A VERSE AT LEAST IN THE BIBLE; 1 John 4:1-3, "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world."

You still havent told what the name of your spirit is
Do you know the name of your spirit, what is it called?
Or do you not have a spirit?
Can a man's spirit be broken or not?

Instead of shying from the above questions, please attempt answering them so we can progressively move on to the next level
and get more understanding of the spirit of man, the spirit of God, The Holy Spirit & Spirit of Truth

Sweetnecta:
THE ABOVE SAYS TO ME CONSIDERING THAT JESUS SAID ANOTHER COMFORTER WILL COME AFTER HIM THAT TRULY A PROPHET OF GOD IS A SPIRIT OF GOD, HENCE HOLY PROPHET IS HOLY SPIRIT. MUHAMMAD [SA] IS OFTEN REFERRED AS HOLY PROPHET AND NO OTHER PROPHET IN ANY OTHER TRADITION REFERS TO ANYONE AS HOLY PROPHET! MUHAMMAD [SA] IS THE ONLY ONE WITH REVELATION FROM GOD, IN SPITE OF HAVING A DIFFERENT RELIGION INSTEAD OF CHRISTIANITY SAYS JESUS SON OF MARY IS THE CHRIST.

SMH. This has already been adequately addressed by Ovacoma
Check the exchange between eshbeewanna and Ovacoma, here at https://www.nairaland.com/2062613/spirit-truth-holly-bible/2#34220313
Now ask yourself this question, does MUHAMMAD live for ever?
Sweetnecta, is MUHAMMAD still here with us on Earth?

Christianity Etc › Re: Who Is The Spirit Of Truth In The Holly Bible. by MuttleyLaff: 10:01pm On May 30, 2015*

hero70:
Who do Jesus mean when he talked about the spirit of truth in John chapter 16 verse 7,
which reads "I have many things to say unto youn but u cannot bear them now but when He the spirit of truth comes He shall guide u onto all truth, Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

Very good question and equally good observation.
Simply put, my reply is that, the Spirit of Truth is the Spirit of God
This is what Jesus meant when he talked about the the spirit of truth in John 16:7

If you have more questions on this please dont hesistate to ask

He's the holy spirit

An2elect2:
His Spirit.

tonybosses:
The spirit of truth is d comforter and that is the "holy spirit"

Scholar8200:
Besides, Christ's words as regards the Holy Spirit was in fulfilment of God's promise in the New Covenant given centuries before in Ezekiel 36:27 "And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them." (Ezekiel 36:27).

Ovacoma:
u just mentioned another name of the Spirit of Truth: The Comforter. THEN READ JOHN 14:26; BUT THE COMFORTER WHICH IS THE HOLY GHOST, WHOM THE FATHER WILL SEND IN MY NAME, HE SHALL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS, AND BRING ALL THINGS TO YOUR REMEMBRANCE, WHATSOEVER I HAVE SAID UNTO YOU.

Maamin:
What is the name of your Allah?

"Allah" is an Arabic word for "God" and its not a proper name, what is the proper name of your God(Allah)?

Anas09:
Yes, what is the personal name of your Allah. because "God" is not a pernal name to particular God, but a common noun for a whole class.
Every deity is a 'god' but evey deity has a personal name. What is the personal name of allah?

The above posters, in a succinct way but not-labouring-it manner alluded to the truth & fact that the Spirit of Truth is Spirit of God or Holy Spirit

Them and others like NumberOne2, enilove, udatso, and Emusan, whom I was unable to quote are correct too however they all should have expatiated (i.e. write at length or in detail more) to checkmate hero70, ezebrain, Rilwayne001, eshbeewanna and my main man Sweetnecta, so that they wouldnt come out with posts that at times looks misconceived.

Sweetnecta:
@Maamin(m): 10:05am
NO OFFENSE TAKEN. I MAY BE UNWISE.

I didnt realise until now that Sweetnecta still posts on Nairaland...
Thought he was AWOL
I wish you wouldn't confuse others about these YAHWEH, ELOI, Allah et al things

Sweetnecta:
BUT I SURE KNOW THAT THE NAME OF GOD IN THE BIBLE IS YAHWEH WHEN MOSES WAS TALKING TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL,

Yes you're correct ...am sure you too, do know that YAHWEH is the name of Allah.
If you didnt, now you know.

God in English, Allah in Arabic, Eloi in Aramaic and El in Hebrew are all the same, they all refer to that Deity, the Creator of the universe in their respective tongue or language

Sango is god, with a common noun god, whilst Yahweh is God, with a proper noun God.

God in English, Chineke in Igbo, Olódùmarè in Yoruba, Allah in Arabic, Eloi in Aramaic and El in Hebrew are PROPER NOUNS
They are PROPER NOUNS and a title of Yahweh in different tongues or languages
Examples of the two proper nouns (i.e. title and direct address) are:
President Buhari, God Yahweh or God YHWH in English, Chineke Jehovah in Igbo, Olódùmarè Jehovah in Yoruba, Allah Yahweh in Arabic etc
President or God is the title
Buhari or Yahweh is the direct address

Yahweh is the direct address or name of this Deity, the Creator of the universe known as, God in English, Chineke in Igbo, Olódùmarè in Yoruba, Eloi in Aramaic, El in Hebrew and Allah in Arabic.

Sweetnecta:
ELOI FROM THE MOUTH OF JESUS ON OF MARY,

As mentioned earlier ELOI is Aramaic and has the same meaning as this other word Allah, in Arabic.
The root of this Aramaic word "ELOI" is "El" from Hebrew, and it means God in Hebrew.

Sweetnecta:
JEHOVAH WHEN THEY LATER LATINIZED IT AND IN QURAN HE IS ALLAH
[SO YOUR ASKING ME TO GIVE YOU THE NAME OF MY ALLAH IS NOT A WELL THOUGHT OUT QUESTION].
ALLAH IS A PROPER NAME OF GOD IN ARABIC LANGUAGE. CHECK ARABIC BIBLE YOU WILL FIND ALLAH AS NAME OF GOD INSTEAD OF YAHWEH OR ELOI OR JEHOVAH.

No, ALLAH IS NOT A PROPER NAME OF GOD IN ARABIC LANGUAGE
rather Allah is the Arabic translation or equivalent of the English word God.
Kindly & carefully note that, the name or direct address of Allah or God is Yahweh also known as Jehovah, both originally written as YHWH

Sweetnecta:
I THINK THE NAME OF THE CHIEF OF EVIL SPIRIT IS SATAN. THE SUPPORTERS OR FOLLOWERS OF SATAN AMONG THE SPIRITS ARE DEMONS.

Well, demons are fallen spirits or fallen angels (i.e. fallen messengers)

Sweetnecta:
YOU ARE NOW OBLIGATED TO TELL ME THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

This is where it really gets interesting,
as if you are able tell us the name of your spirit, then half the work is done.

Sweetnecta:
HIS PROPER NAME PLEASE SINCE WE ALREADY KNOW THE NAME OF GOD WHO IS NOT RUNNING ERRANDS BUT SENDING JESUS AND HOLY SPIRIT TO RUN ERRANDS.
WE ALSO KNOW THE PROPER NAME OF CHRIST.
BUT WE DONT KNOW THE PROPER NAME OF THE HOLY SPIRIT/HOLY GHOST.

You will sooner or later cotton on after realising what the HOLY SPIRIT, Spirit of God or Spirit of Truth properly is all about
Note that the original post WAS NOT asking for a name of the "HOLY SPIRIT/HOLY GHOST"
but rather was asking of a meaning of the "Spirit of Truth"
The difference and distinction between OP's and your request is clear

Sweetnecta:
PLEASE DONT GIVE ME JUST A NAME UNLESS YOU ARE SURE IT IS THE PROPER NAME BECAUSE I WILL WANT YOU TO CHECK FROM THE BIBLE FIRST.
I WILL CHECK WHEN YOU GIVE IT TO ME AND I WILL CALL YOU OUT IF YOU ARE WRONG.

Maamin asked this question about Allah that went unanswered but never mind that as sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
Now, if you will tell ALL, what the name of your spirit is, then, I happilly will move this on to the next level with you.

Sweetnecta:
IF YOU DONT KNOW IT JUST SAY SO AND GO FIND OUT FROM YOUR PASTORS.
I AM CERTAIN THEY WILL NOT KNOW IF YOU DONT KNOW.

As said earlier, Maamin asked this question that went unanswered
so its you who should have said I dont know
or should have gone to find out from your Imams or a Sheikh

Instead you allowed eshbeewanna to try hoodwink others with adjectives of Yahweh which describes Him
Al-Rabb is Adonai in Hebrew and is Lord in English.
This is a title and not the name of God or Allah, whose name is Yahweh.

Exodus 3:13-15
¹³But Moses protested, “If I go to the people of Israel and tell them,
‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ they will ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what should I tell them?”
¹⁴God replied to Moses, “I Am Who I Am"
Say this to the people of Israel: I Am has sent me to you.”
¹⁵God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel:
Yahweh, the God of your ancestors—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.
This is my eternal name, my name to remember for all generations.

Isaiah 45:2-24
²¹Declare and bring [them] near; yea, let them take counsel together:
who hath caused this to be heard from ancient time? [who] hath declared it long ago? Is it not I, Jehovah?
And there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour, there is none besides me.
²²Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and there is none else.
²³I have sworn by myself,
the word is gone out of my mouth [in] righteousness and shall not return,
that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
²⁴Only in Jehovah, shall one say, have I righteousness and strength.
To him shall [men] come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.

Sweetnecta:
IN FACT NO ONE WILL KNOW BECAUSE I DONT KNOW IT AND I HAVE SEARCHED FOR DECADES WITHOUT FINDING IT.

This is not a case of knowing or not knowing
but it is more that of insight lacking or lacking understanding of what the HOLY SPIRIT, Spirit of God or Spirit of Truth is

The interesting thing is
all politicians are traveling abroad for a 'well deserved' rest after running down the economy and Nigerians are furious
but the one that doesn't want to travel Nigerians are insisting he travels.

Now that is irony.

Reason is very simple.
We dont depend on government to survive.
We are more concernd about the availability of fuel than the cost of it.
Marketers being fuel to the East because they are assured of their money.

We drive inn, buy and drive out.

Did you see any "Silly Subsidy Protests" in the East?
No, we have more important things to do.

Subsidy removal would have been the best for Nigeria, but the cabal who benefit from it, deceived the gullible.

in Greek , Pistis means Trust, "Pistis" was the same word used in many parts of the NT which english bibles translate as "faith"
now ur church picked up the meaning of faith from their ass

Language, language

macof:
Pistis is also a character (personified) in Greek mythology
Read

SMH. Very funny indeed, a wikipedia link, wikipedia the breeding ground for spreading and encouraging ignorance
Anyway your link says:
Pistis (Πίστις) was the personification of good FAITH, trust and reliability
Notice the link used faith and trust in its explanation
I know you're averse to faith which is why you avoid it like a plague and cant stand including it in that post

macof:
Christian englisch speakers obviously filled with delusions gave a different meaning to faith. ..a meaning that doesn't exist in the human psychology...a meaning closer to delusion or Hope

There are at least four kinds of faith but you my friend, for reasons best known to you seem to particularly have it in for the Biblical faith

Of course, I read it, and what jumped out was the WE JUST "in yoruba we just use "belief."

You cannot teach me yoruba wit some lousy online translator Mr.

Dont know why got the hump. Who is teaching you Yoruba? Did you mistake FYI for teaching, even after I posted we are saying the same thing

macof:
breaking down the word I-Gba-Gbo accepting what is heard = to believe

very different from your Christian definition of faith

if then we choose to look at Igbagbọ (Belief) in another context we would consider "Belief" as a broad term for Hope, trust, Conviction and even Delusions
as I've said the human mind is incapable of having "faith". .unless you say the popular Christian definition of faith is wrong and it actually refers something else (the human mind is capable of) like hope for instance or Trust.

I said this before but will say again here. All I can say, is faith not just part of religion but it's part of every aspect of our everyday lives

macof:
after all the word "faith" was taken from the Latin word for Trust

Forget Latin. Latin actually borrowed a lot of words from Greek.
Try faith in Greek. NT was written in Greek, even the Greeks sought the audience of Jesus

macof:
even the term "blind faith" is just another word for delusion

Of course "blind faith" has different meanings or interpretations to different people, incidentally you happen to be one of those people that use it as a negative.

Faith is that strong belief in something or someone without logical proof,
whilst trust is relying or depending on something or someone, based on the character or integrity.

macof:
Igbagbo is belief - to believe

Or igbagbọ is faith - to have faith

macof:
I trust you because I believe in you

Or I trust you because I have faith in you

Many languages don't even have a word for Faith, they use translations for Loyalty, Trust, Belief
(so I believe such a psychological state doesn't really exist). .
in yoruba we just use "belief. to believe we know comes with justification, faith as its described doesn't

Igbẹkẹle or Gbẹkẹle and Igbagbọ or Gbagbọ are Yoruba words
What is igbẹkẹle when translated to English?
What is igbagbọ when translated to English?

Use igbẹkẹle and igbagbọ to write a Yoruba sentence
Or translate "Mo gbẹkẹle ẹ, nitoripe mo nigbagbọ ninu ẹ" to English

davien:
You so desperately want to vindicate your belief that you resort to lying....

Where are the lies?

davien:
Faith has many definitions all used for different concepts... As anyine said the contrary to that?

[quote author=davien post=33912479]Faith in "god/gods" is a belief or strong conviction held without evidence...
Trust is a firm conviction held due to a proven track record....

Exactly, you exercise faith to build it, just like you exercise the body to build it
A buff body comes from eating, and from eating lots of carbs and protein, likewise faith (i.e. the God faith) comes from hearing and hearing the word of God

davien:
All religions have faith...not trust,

You can say that again

davien:
because no matter your affirmation to believe that your faith would give you the answers you desire,
any answers gotten are accepted (even those against your wishes i.e the death of a loved one, etc) because you don't have a proven track record of outcomes but only a belief which you must always adhere to....

All I can say, is faith not just part of religion but it's part of every aspect of our everyday lives

You see a person receives God's approval because of what he does, not only because of what he believes. The man in the earlier story, is a classic example of having faith (i.e. believing God can help) but losing the faith when he was unable to action his belief and do as instructed

cc write2obi, agwom, davien, AdeniyiA, malaria

Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding - Proverbs 3:5-6

Now faith is the conviction concerning those things that are in hope, as if it were these things in action,
and the revelation of those things that are unseen; - Hebrews 11:1

Just quoted scripture but without necessarily going religious,
it is obvious, that FAITH is a NOUN (i.e. a name or word for thing(s)) and TRUST is a VERB (i.e. an action or doing something)

Faith is that strong belief in something or someone without logical proof,
whilst trust is relying or depending on something or someone, based on the character or integrity.

Here is a story of a man who’s walking along a cliff at night time with a torch, who suddenly loses his balance and falls off.

As he was falling off, his whole life from cradle to present swiftly flashed through his mind
Alarmed that maybe this is it, thinking he is going to die, he from nowhere summoned some faith and mutterred:
"If there is a God, please save me"

As he was tumbling down the face of the cliff, suddenly he was able to grab and hold on to a ledge that miraculously appeared out of nowhere.
Catching his breath, he surprisedly said: "Skill! Phew!! Almost got done there"

The night is fast approachingly now getting cold and the man is still hanging on the ledge, tightly holding on to his dear life.
After a while in the pitch dark, and beginning to shiver from the cold, he decides to call for help so shouts out:
"Is there anybody out there who can help me?" but there is no answer.

Without getting any answers, he kept on calling out a few more times:
"Is there anybody out there who can help me?".

Then he remember how he got to the ledge, so he called out again but changed tactic and said:
"God, if you are out there please can you help me and tell me what to do"

In a blink of an eye, a clear and distinct voice calls back:
"This is God. I can help you, just like I did before and always do. Just let go and TRUST."

but the man ignoring the voice and refusing to let go, screamed back "Is there anybody else up there who can help me?"

In the morning, when the search party looking for the man finally found and caught up with him, they met him stone cold dead
He had died of hypothermia caused by prolonged exposure to the cold temperatures of the night
What baffled the search team was that the man was hanging fives inches off the ground.
Why didnt he jump they wondered. They were amazed he could have jumped free instead of stewpidly clinging on the ledge like that

Trust is a verb, it is the noun, faith, in action.
Trust is the manifestation of faith in our thoughts and actions.

Faith asserts, it is behaving or speaking in a confident and forceful manner
whereas trust actualises, it is turning into action, reality or a fact

While faith says "God can...", trust says "God is able to... and so I will do or act accordingly"

Faith is useless without trust. It is far easier to have faith in God, but it is a lot harder to exercise trust in God
The man in the story above had faith but couldnt handle trust, couldnt trust God's word or advice would save him

victorels:
it was a Jewish tradition for a man to marry his brothers wife and raise children for him if he dies without offspring. If he marries the woman, he is not going to marry any other woman. That means he is not going to have children of his own even though he will have children with his brothers widow but the children will bear his brothers name.
The guy in question was really wicked to attempt to deny his brother offspring.
That is what angered God to kill him, not because he spilled seen on the ground though it is wrong.

The paramount objective of the whole idea was that he marry Tamar and produce offspring(s)
Though I know which is more plausible, I can make two guesses why he did not want to produce the offspring
1 - His brother was wicked, so he did not want to produce and have his child bear his wicked brother's name
2 - He wanted the double portion inheritance for himself

Anyway, the whole Judah-Tamar thing is an interesting build up
People say once bitten twice shy, so I empathize with Judah withholding the third son from marrying Tamar,
but out of desperation, this prompted Tamar, to set up a scheme which got Judah entangled in
