PROBLEMS WITH ALLAH
-Allah is a contraction of ‘Al-Ilahi’ = Generic Description = ‘The God’ -Dusharah = title
= ‘The Lord of Sharah’ -Al-Lat = Consort of Allah [‘Lion of ALLAT’ in Palmyra] -Al
Uzzah = ‘Mightiest’ [another name for Al-Lat]
-Al Manat = a Goddess of Hegra -Hubal (God of Hegra) = local god
[Dr. John Healey ‘The Religion of the Nabataeans’ (Man University) [Dr. Jane Taylor
‘Petra, the Lost Kingdom of the Nabataeans]

Q&A
Why doesn’t Jesus say he’s God Jn.10:23-30? “If Christ, tell us plainly”

ISLAM’S'ISSUES,'AGENDAS'&'THE'GREAT'COMMISSION''''' 301

-Confronting Pharisees UNBELIEF vs His SHEEP ‘in His hand’ (Dt.32:39) John 10:33-38
“Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are gods’? (Psalm 82:6)–“You are
gods...but you will die like mere men” (Judgment)
-Read vss 27-28 “I know my sheep, and they follow me, I give them eternal life and they
shall never perish; no-one can snatch them out of my hand”
Jesus didn’t know the last hour (Mt.12:18-He is a servant) (Phil.2:6-11) Why Jesus prays
to God? (Heb 5:7) = Communes w/God (S.33:56=Allah) Why call ‘me’ good, only God
is good? Rhetorical-do u know what u say? I can do nothing by myself (Jn.5:30)
Previously equal to Father (vs18) -gives life (21) Judges (22) equal honor w God (23) in
unity w God (30) Says he is separate from God (Jn.20:17b) Context-about 2 return 2
Father
-Then, Thomas worships him as ‘My Lord and my God’ (vs 28) Subject to God the
Father (1Cor.15:28) Equal in nature, subject in function
-[Unity in diversity] i.e. I have different function than queen, but equal b4 God
Why Jesus not in OT? ‘Angel of the Lord’ (Ex3:2; Num22:31-32; Josh5:13-15) Who was
Melchizedek? (Heb7) Is eternal, so most likely pre-Jesus 2 Tim 3:16 only for OT ‘God
Breathed’ for all of scripture (Rev.22:18-19) Gethsemane prayer - for deliverance - Mt.
26:36-42 = ‘Your will be done’ This sickness will not end in death (Jn11:4, 14) Vs 44 ‘He
came out’
YAHWEH
Unique Name: Yahweh = Personal & Holy Exodus 3:14a = Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh (Ego
Eimi ho on) Exodus 3:15 = ‘Yahweh’ (3rd Person) [John 8:58] Deut.4:35 ‘The Lord is God;
there is no other besides Him’
Immanent: Yahweh comes to earth numerous times -Gen.3:8-9 (Garden of Eden with
Adam & Eve) -Gen.18:1 (Tent of Mamre with Abraham) -Gen.32:28-30 (Wrestling with
Jacob) -Ex.23:20-21 (Pillar of cloud/fire with Israelites)
Personal: Enters ‘time and space’ -Ex.33:11 - Communicates with Mankind face-to-face -
Ex.33:22 - Yet, passes by Moses in the cleft of the rock
Hebrew Monotheistic/Triune God -Gen.1:1 ‘In the Beginning ‘gods’ (plural) created
(singular) -Gen.1:26-27 ‘Let us make Man in OUR...in HIS image’ -Deut.6:4 ‘Yahweh
Eluhenu, Yahweh Echad’ (Tri-une)
Just: Yahweh never deceives, and comes Himself to die for us. Father/Son: God is our
‘Daddy’ (i.e. Prodigal Son) Yahweh has a Son: John 3:16 (Shares everything God is)
Yahweh found 6,823 times
Yahweh appeared to Mankind: Adam, Eve, Cain, Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, Moses, Men,
Women, Slave, Free, Jew Gentile

ALLAH
Generic Name: Allah = ‘The God’ (Not Unique, nor Holy) Surah 27:8 ‘Blessed whoever
is ‘in’ the fire’ (‘min fi’) Surah 27:9 ‘It is I, Allah, the All-Mighty, the All Wise’ S.112:1,4
‘He, Allah, is one...and none is like him’
Distant: Allah ‘never’ comes to earth -Totally distant and totally ‘other’ -Except at the
Burning Bush (S.20:10-14 & 27:8-9)
Impersonal: Never enters ‘time and Space’ -Never talks to Mankind face-to-face -S.19:17
– Ruh appears as a man, but Allah cannot?
Nabataean/Polytheistic god -Allah taken from Nabataean ‘Ilahi’ = ‘Dushara’ -Allah’s
wife = ‘Al-Lat’ = ‘Al-Uzza’ (S.6:101) -Thus, Allah is pagan, polytheistic, and not
Deceitful: Allah deceives often (S.4:157 – Man on the cross) Master/Slave: ‘Abdullah’ =
Slave of God
Allah could not have a son, unless he willed it: S.39:4 (Biological) Yahweh is not found
even ONCE (So, who is Allah?)
Allah cannot appear to anyone (Except to Moses) [S.20:10-14; 27:8-9]
