Is Allah in the Arabic Bible the SAME Allah in the Quran?
The Arabic Bible clearly teaches in 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 that Satan can TRANSFORM himself to appear as and angel of light to DECEIVE people to think that his message if from “THE” Creator God.
But in TRUTH, Satan mixes a little truth with his DECEPTION.
In other words, “the” god Satan can LIE or DECEIVE, but “THE” Almighty God, the God of Jesus, can NOT LIE or DECEIVE.
In fact, in the Arabic Bible it is IMPOSSIBLE for Allah to LIE, according to Hebrews 6:13-18, but in the Quran, in Surah 3:54 and many other Surahs, Allah is called the best or the greatest DECEIVER.

Book 8 Chapter 8.
Is Allah the Name of the SUPREME Creator God in the Bible?
The short answer is both yes and no. Let me explain why I say BOTH.
Yes, the word “allah” is INTENDED by Muslims to be referring to the only TRUE God in the Bible.
And NO, the NAME “Allah” is NOT referring to the one and only TRUE God of the Bible.
In other words, in the MINDS of all Muslims, they sincerely believe that they are following and obeying the ONE and ONLY TRUE God of the Bible by following their prophet Muhammad to obey what Muhammad wrote in their Quran.
But the question that Muslims should be asking the TRUE God of the Bible is “Was the angel that appeared to Muhammad sent by the God of Jesus?”
To say this another way, have YOU, as a Muslim, TRULY considered the FACT that the Arabic Ishmaelites BEFORE the “angel” appeared to Muhammad, that Muhammad himself worshiped many pagan idol gods?
Have you, as a Muslim, truly considered that the grandfather of Muhammad stood before the IDOL of Hubal and prayed saying “ALLAH”?
For you see, before Almighty God called Abram out of idolatry to only worship Him as the ONLY TRUE God, Abram and his family worshiped MANY gods.
In fact, Abram’s father, Tarah, was an idol maker. He made idols of their gods as his living.
Now, after God made a covenant with the children of Israel, many of the CHILDREN of Abraham of BOTH, the seed of Ishmael and even of the seed of Jacob, were DECEIVED to worship the false gods of the pagan Gentiles.
I say both because SOME of the Ishmaelites became PROSELYTIZED Jews while the OTHER Ishmaelites remained polytheists, even when Muhammad came to convert them to monotheism.
But God has made a COVENANT with the SEED of Jacob, and He has forgiven the children of Israel many times from generation to generation, when they realized that they were being deceived and they repented.
And when they repented, they returned to worship only the one true God, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
The point that I am making is that God is NOW calling ALL people to repent and receive His NEW Covenant.
The TRUE God of the Bible seeks for ALL people, Muslims, Jews, Christians, pagans, and even atheists to worship Him in Spirit and in TRUTH, according to Acts 17:27-31 and the words of Jesus in John 4:19-26.
John 4:19-26.
“The woman said unto him, (Or the Samaritan woman said unto Jesus) Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
John 4:20. Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and you say, (Or the Jews say) that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
John 4:21. Jesus said unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
John 4:22. You worship you know NOT what: we KNOW what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. (In other words, the Samaritans sincerely believed that they were worshiping the true God of Moses.
But Jesus himself said that the Samaritans did NOT KNOW what they were worshiping)
John 4:23. But the hour comes, and NOW is, when the TRUE worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship Him.
John 4:24. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him MUST worship Him in spirit and in truth.
John 4:25. The woman said unto him, I know that Messiah comes, which is called Christ: (Or the ANOINTED of God) when he is come, he will tell us all things.
John 4:26. Jesus said unto her, I that speak unto you am he.”
So then, clearly, Jesus himself says that he is the Messiah prophesied to come in the Scriptures.
Jesus is the ANOINTED one that Moses and all of the prophets prophesied that God would raise up from among the people of the seed of David to sit on the THRONE.
And, according to 2 Kings 17:22-34, the Samaritans were NOT descendants of Jacob.
But rather, they were Gentiles that were TAUGHT the Law of Moses.
However, they ALSO kept on worshiping their pagan gods even to the day of Jesus.
And thus, even though they considered themselves to be true worshipers of the true God of the Bible, they were NOT true believers, according to the words of Jesus himself.
Now, in a similar manner as the Samaritans following PART of the Jewish faith, so do SOME of the Ishmaelites follow the Law of Moses.
For you see, SOME of the Arab Ishmaelite people are Christians, while other Arab Ishmaelite people are Muslims that follow the Law of Moses.
In other words, SOME of the Arab Ishmaelites that BELIEVED the teachings of Moses became CHRISTIANS, while some Arab Ishmaelites remained proselyte Jews.
But yet, other Arab Ishmaelites either remained polytheists, the worshipers of many false gods, AND they ALSO believed Muhammad who said that he was a prophet of Allah.
For you see, to them, Allah was Hubal, their highest IDOL god.
Let me explain this another way so that I am not misunderstood. Let us go back to the time BEFORE Muhammad taught the Arab Ishmaelite people that were NOT Christians.
For you see, many, if not most of the Arab Ishmaelite people BEFORE the angel appeared to Muhammad, worshiped MANY gods.
And, at first, only a FEW of those Arab Ishmaelites believed Muhammad to become Muslims.
The word “Muslim” means one who submits to the will of Allah.
Again, you have to remember that in THEIR minds, Allah was Hubal.
They had no understanding of the Bible ITSELF except for what Muhammad told them.
Now later, the number of Muslims grew, and Muhammad attacked Mecca to destroy all of the pagan idols and by the SWORD of WAR.
And he converted many of the pagan Arab Ishmaelite people to Islam through the FEAR of being beheaded if they did not convert to monotheism.
And that is NOT a TRUE conversion. Therefore, many continued worshiping many gods in their HEART.
So then, in truth, the Arabic word “allah” is BOTH a WORD and also a NAME, in the sense, that the word “Almighty” is the NAME of the only TRUE God of the Bible, but it is also a “word” meaning the highest God.
For you see, the Arabic word “allah” simply means “the” God, which in the minds of the pagan Arab Ishmaelites, the word allah meant their highest god of their IDOL gods.
So then, we have five possibilities as to WHY the NAME of the only true God in the Bible is Yahweh FOREVER, according to Exodus 3:15, COMPARED to the NAME Allah, the god in the Quran, to clearly see that Allah in the Quran is NOT the SAME DEITY as Allah in the Arabic Bible.
Remember that the Bible was written BEFORE the Quran and the Bible ITSELF clearly teaches that Yahweh is the NAME of the only true God FOREVER.
And to the PAGAN Arab Ishmaelite people Allah was HUBAL, the highest pagan god over all of their pagan gods.
So then, in the MINDS of those newly converted pagan Arab Ishmaelites, ALLAH was their idol god Hubal.
And thus, just like the Samaritans, they did not know WHAT they worshiped because SALVATION is of the JEWS.
But NOW, under the NEW Covenant, Almighty God is calling ALL people to BELIEVE in His SON, Jesus, as being the ONLY NAME that Yahweh has given among men whereby, we MUST be SAVED.
Acts 4:10-12.
“Be it known unto you ALL, and to all the people of Israel, that by the NAME of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him does this man stand here before you whole. (The first word “ALL” includes all people and all of the angels, particularly the fallen Elohim or the fallen gods that will be made to worship Jesus, according to Hebrews 1:6.
And it says in Islamic tradition in Quran 2:34 that God told all of the angels to bow down to Adam and worship him, but Satan would not submit to God to worship a man that was given authority by God.
So then, to ALL Muslims, you believe that God told the angels to bow down to Adam, so WHY do you REJECT God telling you to bow down to His FIRST begotten Son, Jesus, and honor His Son even as you honor God who created His Son Jesus?)
Acts 4:11. This (Same Jesus) is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. (Jesus is the chief corner stone that was laid by Almighty God Himself.
But the builders of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt long before God created Adam rejected the chief corner stone at the top of the pyramid.
And in the same way, SOME of the Jews, the builders of the church, REJECTED Jesus as being God’s Messiah or God’s SAVIOR)
Act 4:12. Neither is there SALVATION in any other: for there is none other NAME under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
But both the Jews and the Muslims THINK that they can SAVE themselves by their own good works.
So then, here are the five possibilities.
Possibility #1.
Islam and only Islam is the true faith and apart from following and obeying ONLY the Quran ABOVE what the Bible ITSELF teaches is the ONLY possible way to receive eternal life.
For this possibility to be true, then Muslims must PROVE beyond any shadow of a doubt that EVERY single verse of Scripture in the Bible that REFUTES the Quran has been corrupted and some Muslim scholars CLAIM.
Some Muslim scholars CLAIM that almost all of the New Testament has been corrupted based solely on a few words in the Greek manuscripts that were written in the Aramaic language of Jesus.
And to those Muslim so-called scholars, that is enough evidence for THEM to base THEIR very eternal life upon.
So I simply ask all of my Muslim readers who are TRULY seeking the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God to read the article on another website called Why do Muslims believe that the Bible has been corrupted?
Possibility #2.
Muhammad sincerely believed that the only true God of the Bible sent His angel Gabriel to him to teach the Arab people to put away all of their false gods and worship the only true God of the Bible.
And thus, Muhammad INTENDED the word “allah” to simply mean THE GOD or the highest Almighty Creator God of the Bible, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
But all Muslims need to ask WHY the word “allah” is always capitalized if Muhammad himself truly intended the word “allah” to be the NAME of the supreme God of the Bible.
For you see, the highest PAGAN IDOL god, Hubal, of the PRE-ISLAMIC Arab Ishmaelite people was called Allah. In other words, they stood before the IDOL of Hubal and prayed to Allah.
So then, in their minds, their idol god, Hubal, was THE highest god of all of their pagan idol gods.
So then, if Allah is NOT intended by Muhammad and Muslims to be referring to Hubal, then WHY do Muslims dogmatically insist on using the NAME Allah?
Why not simply “translate” the Arabic WORD “allah” to “the god”?
Possibility #3.
Muhammad sincerely believed that Hubal, the god that Arabs worshiped along with many other gods, was THE highest of all of those other gods.
And thus, to Muhammad, Hubal was called “allah”, which means the highest god.
In other words, Muhammad mistook Hubal as being THE God of the Bible, as in, to Muhammad, Hubal was the ALMIGHTY Creator God, the SAME God as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Bible.
But again, Muslims need to ask WHY the word “allah” is always capitalized in the Quran, if Muhammad truly intended the word “allah” to simply mean “THE” God of the Bible itself.
And NOT to mean Allah referring to Hubal, the pagan idol god that Arabs worshiped as their highest god over all their false gods long before Muhammad was born.
Possibility #4.
Muhammad sincerely believed that Hubal was the highest God of all of the false gods.
And thus, the word “allah” became the NAME Allah, the highest god over all of the false idol gods.
In other words, Muhammad, being illiterate, was confused and he MIXED what he heard the Jews and the Christians taught with what he was taught in his pagan religion about Hubal being ALLAH, the highest god.
Possibility #5.
Muhammad was NOT absolutely sure if the angel that appeared to him was Gabriel sent from the TRUE, or if the angel an evil spirit called a jinn appeared to him.
Now, the one thing that Muhammad could not understand is how Christians could call Jesus by the title of “God” and also called Almighty God the Father by the title of “God”, when the Jews taught that there is only ONE God.
So then, Muhammad convinced himself that it must have been the angel Gabriel sent to him to straighten out the Christians.
But again, Muslims need to ask WHY the word “allah” is always CAPITALIZED as “Allah” in the Quran as being the NAME of their GREATER god.
For you see, Muhammad wrote in the Quran that Muhammad’s god, Allah, is NOT our God, the God of the Christians in the Bible ITSELF, in Surah 109:3. The emphasis is mine.
Quran, Surah 109:3-6.
Say: O disbelievers! I worship NOT that which ye worship; Nor worship ye that which I worship. And I shall NOT worship that which ye worship. Nor will ye worship that which I worship. Unto you your religion, and unto me my religion. Surah 109:3-6 Pickthall
So then, clearly, Muhammad did NOT worship the SAME God of the Bible.
But rather, Muhammad worshiped Allah, the same god that the Arabs worshiped long before Muhammad was born. And to those PER-ISLAMIC Arabs, their god Allah was Hubal, which is called Baal in the Bible.
Now, on the other hand, I fully understand that ALL Muslims sincerely believe that they are worshiping the only true God of the BIBLE ITSELF.
But, in a SIMILAR way that the Samaritans THOUGHT that they were worshiping the SAME God that Jesus worshiped, the Muslims do NOT TRULY KNOW what they worship.
For you see, to TRULY worship God means to OBEY what God says in his WORD.
And for Muslims to OBEY what is written in their Quran, they are DISOBEYING what God says in the BIBLE ITSELF!
And, according to 2 Thessalonians 1:8-10 , the DISOBEDIENT to the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ will suffer the WRATH of Almighty God and be DESTROYED!
Again, let me explain what I mean by this because your very ETERNAL LIFE is at stake.
So, if you do NOT want your end to be the lake of fire on the final Day of Judgment, then I IMPLORE you to hear the WHOLE matter.
Do not simply hear only what your Muslim so-called scholars are teaching you!
The DIFFERENCE between Yahweh and Allah is the CONCEPT of Yahweh in the Bible is NOT the SAME as the CONCEPT of Allah in the Quran.
In other words, HOW the Muslims view, picture and understand their god Allah in the Quran is NOT the SAME as the view, picture, and understanding of Allah in the Arabic BIBLE.
To say this another way, the image, character, ATTRIBUTES, and the descriptions of Allah in the Arabic Bible, CONTRADICTS what the QURAN ITSELF teaches about the Allah of Islam in the Quran.
Let me say this again in different words, the CHARACTER of Allah in many verses in the Quran is NOT the SAME character of Yahweh in the Bible.
And thus, Allah in the Arabic Bible is NOT the SAME Allah in the Quran, because the CHARACTER of the Allah in the Quran CONTRADICTS the CHARACTER of Allah in the Bible in the Arabic language.
So then, for Muslims to argue that the word “Allah” is in the ENGLISH Bible is a DECEPTION.
For you see, the Syriac Bible is a translation from the Greek manuscripts into the Arabic language, and that does NOT prove that the Allah in the Quran is the SAME ALLAH in the Arabic Bible.
In other words, the Arabic word “allah” was translated from the Greek word “theos” which means God, god, gods, and goddesses in the English language.
And what Muslims, Jews, and even SOME Christians do NOT understand is that the Bible ITSELF clearly teaches that the ONE TRUE God, the God of Jesus, is ONE God in ONE person who alone is the Father.
And thus, the Bible ITSELF teaches that Jesus is “A” God under and subject to his God, Yahweh the Father.
So, know and understand that Yahweh MADE His human Son, Jesus both Lord and Christ after the cross and resurrection for the PURPOSE of JUDGING the world, according to Acts 17:29-31.
And also, for SAVING all who BELIEVE and CONFESS that Jesus is Lord to the GLORY of Almighty God the Father, according to Philippians 2:8-11, and Romans 10:8-11.
#1. Description of God’s character in the Bible ITSELF!
According to the Bible itself in 1 John 4:6-16, God is LOVE.
And, according to the Bible itself in Romans 5:7-9, God LOVED us WHILE we were yet sinners.
But yet, by Muslims claiming that God’s word has been supposedly corrupted, they REJECT God’s LOVE toward them.
So, by Muslims DENYING that Jesus died on the cross for their sins, they are DENYING that Almighty God the Father LOVES them.
#1. How the Quran describes the character of Allah.
Allah does NOT love sinners.
Quran 2:276.
“God does not love any sinful unbeliever.”
Quran 3:32.
“God does not love the faithless.”
And, depending on how one interprets the Arabic word “maqt” translated in some translations as the English word “aversion”, then Quran 40:10 implies that God even hates the unbelievers.
For you see, the English word “aversion” means a STRONG DISLIKE for someone.
But again, the Bible ITSELF in Ezekiel 19:31,32 and Ezekiel 33:11,12 clearly teaches us that God takes NO PLEASURE in the death of the sinners.
Remember that your so-called Muslim scholars argue that only SOME of the New Testament has been corrupted and then QUOTE the Old Testament to try to support the Quran.
But they do not know what the Bible itself ACTUALLY teaches.
For you see, God set His LOVE upon the children of Israel, not because they were great in number, but simply because he LOVED them while they were not yet his people.
Deuteronomy 7:7,8.
“The LORD (Or Yahweh) did not SET His LOVE upon you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all people:
Deuteronomy 7:8. But because the LORD (Or because Yahweh) LOVED you, and because he would keep the OATH which He had sworn unto your fathers, (Speaking of Abrahan, Isaac, and Jacob) has the LORD (Yahweh) brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.”
#2. Description of God’s character in the Bible ITSELF!
According to the Bible itself in Numbers 23:19, Titus 1:2, and many other passages of Scripture, God is NOT a LIAR and He cannot lie. And, according to Hebrews 6:13-18, it is IMPOSSIBLE for God to LIE.
And that is why Jesus calls his God and Father the only TRUTHFUL God in John 17:1-3 and Satan, “the” god of this world is the LYING god.
#2. How the Quran describes the character of Allah.
According to the Quran and Islamic tradition, Allah DECEIVES or LIES and teaches Muslims that it is alright to lie in some situations.
For example, Muslims can make a peace treaty knowing full well that when they are stronger, they will break that peace treaty.
Here is a link to another website that gives many verses in the Quran showing the character of Allah as being a DECEIVER, which means a LIAR. Allah-The Greatest Deceiver of them all.
#3. Description of God’s character in the Bible ITSELF!
According to the Bible itself in John 12:27-32, 1 John 2:26,27, John 14:10-29, and John 16:12-15, Almighty God leads, guides, and draws people into all TRUTH in order to be saved through FAITH in Jesus, the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE, the ONLY way to receive ETERNAL LIFE.
According to 1 Timothy 2:1-6 it is God’s WILL that ALL men would be saved.
#3. How the Quran describes the character of Allah.
Allah actively leads them astray. In Q 13:27 the Qur’an explains, “Surely God leads astray whomever He pleases and guides to Himself whoever turns (to Him).”
The Quran in Surah 6:39 also says “Those who deny Our signs are deaf and dumb, in a manifold darkness. Allah leads into error whomever He wishes, and whomever He wishes He puts him on a straight path”.
The Quran also teaches in Sura 37:23 that Allah tells the angels to guide wrongdoers to hell. “Guide them on the path of hell”.
This is NOT the Allah in your Arabic Bible in James 1:13, which clearly teaches that God does NOT tempt any man with evil. In other words, TEMPTATION to do evil leads people astray and the TRUE God tempts NO person with evil.
And neither does the TRUE God in the Bible trick people.
But the Allah of the Quran does use tricks to DECEIVE people.
Quran 3:54.
“They plotted and God plotted. God is the best of plotters”.
This verse in the Quran is used in conjunction with Quran 4:147 to TRY to explain away the crucifixion of Jesus.
In other words, the so-called Muslim scholars teach that when God saw Jews “plotting” to kill Jesus, then Allah transformed someone else into a likeness of Jesus.
And thus, Muslims are taught by their leaders to argue that “someone else” was crucified while God raised Jesus through a hole in the roof of the house where he was staying up to him in heaven.
But the Bible ITSELF says that the Apostles WITNESSED Jesus ascending into heaven right before their eyes, according to Acts 1:1-11.
#4. Description of God’s character in the Bible ITSELF!
The Bible ITSELF refers to Almighty God as being a FATHER to those who BELIEVE in the NAME of Jesus.
The Old Testament ALSO refers to Almighty God as being our Father to His chosen people, the children of Israel.
For you see, the children of Israel are called the “children of God”.
Deuteronomy 14:1,2.
“You are the CHILDREN of the LORD your God: (Or you are the CHILDREN of Yahweh your God) you shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
Deuteronomy 14:2. For you are an holy people unto the LORD (Yahweh) your God, and the LORD (Yahweh) has chosen you to be a peculiar people unto Himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.”
Here is a PROPHECY of Jesus BECOMING the SON OF Almighty God. In other words, the Son of God did NOT always exist in the eternity past as “God the Son”, the second person of a Godhead Trinity God as SOME Christians wrongly teach.
2 Samuel 7:14.
“I WILL be his Father, and he SHALL be My son. If he commit iniquity, (Or BECAUSE of iniquities committed) I will chasten him with the rod of men, and WITH the stripes of the children of men:”
In other words, BECAUSE of the inequities of the children of men, I will chasten him with the stripes that THEY deserve.
And for him obeying my will to BEAR their punishment for THEIR sins, I WILL be a Father to him and he SHALL become my eternal Son.
And here is a prophecy of all who BELIEVE in Jesus as the Christ, the SON OF the Living God ALSO becoming the eternal sons of Almighty God.
But first, we are born of God by faith in the word of God, the true gospel of Jesus Christ, the gospel of salvation, to become the human adopted sons and daughters of God.
And when Jesus returns, we as faithful Christians will become the ETERNAL sons of Almighty God.
Hosea 1:10.
“Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, You are NOT my people, there it shall be said unto them, You are the sons of the living God. ”
In the New Testament the Jews called Almighty God their Father.
Jesus himself called Almighty God his God and Father.
And Jesus gives to ALL who believe that he is the Christ, the SON OF the Living God, the POWER to become the eternal SONS of Almighty God, according to John 1:11-13.
In fact, the New Testament is all about Almighty God becoming our Father and giving us who BELIEVE in Jesus as the Christ, the SON OF God, ETERNAL LIFE to rule and reign WITH Jesus over the earth during the world to come.
John 1:12.
“But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.”
You can also read Romans 8:14-19, 2 Corinthians 6:18, Galatians 4:1-6, Philippians 2:12-16, and many other passages of Scripture where the Bible ITSELF teaches us that Almighty God is our Heavenly Father and that we who BELIEVE in Jesus as the atonement for our sins, are the sons and daughters of Yahweh our Creator.
But yet, Muhammad seems to have had a “CHIP” on his shoulder so to speak when he wrote the Quran saying that it is a monstrous thing to say that God has begotten Him a Son.
#4. How the Quran describes the character of Allah.
According to the Quran is Surah 19:88,89, it is a MONSTROUS thing to say that God has a Son.
And the word “monstrous” carries the meaning of inhumanly or outrageously evil.
Surah 19:88.89.
“They say: “(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!”
89. Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!”
To read all of the verses in the Quran that DENY Jesus as being the Son of Almighty God, here is a link to the Muslim questions and answers page called Does God have a Son.
I pray that Muslims can see that Muhammad has DECEIVED them by listening to an angel that was NOT sent by Almighty God.
For you see, WHY would the TRUTHFUL God, who can NOT LIE and it is IMPOSSIBLE for Him to LIE, clearly teach in His word, the Holy Bible, that He is the Father and God of Jesus, and then turn around and send an angel to Muhammad to tell Muhammad to say that God had NO Son?
The TRUTH of the whole matter is that Muhammad was deceived by his own PRIDE and by an angel that was NOT sent by Almighty God.
And Muhammad believed the fallen angel OVER the Bible ITSELF to DENY the TRUTH that Jesus is the Son of God EXALTED and crowned with glory to be seated at the right right of his God and Father.
And thus, Muhammad wrote the Quran to create a religion that pleases Satan.
For you see, it is Satan who is the DECEIVER and NOT Allah in your Arabic BIBLE!
#5. Description of God’s character in the Bible ITSELF!
Almighty God Himself desires to be the SAVIOR of mankind so that all of the GLORY belongs to Him.
And God is doing this to END the BOASTING, according to Ephesians 2:8-10.
Now, to the casual reader of the Bible, some verses SEEM to contradict themselves.
And that is because one of the verses has been incorrectly translated.
Hosea 13:4.
“Yet I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt, and you shall know no god but me: for there is no savior beside me.”
Isaiah 19:20.
“And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and He shall SEND them a savior, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.”
1 John 4:14.
“And we have SEEN and do testify that the Father SENT (Or COMMISSIONED) the Son to be the Savior of the world.”
So then, Almighty God is the Savior of the world by creating himself a human Son in the womb of the Virgin Mary that Yahweh PROPHESIED in His word that He would create, according to Jeremiah 31:32 and Isaiah 9:6,7 to be His Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
#5. How the Quran describes the character of Allah.
The Quran DENIES that Jesus suffered and died on the cross for the sins of the world.
And thus, Muslims who REJECT the TRUTH written in the Bible itself, reject the SALVATION that God has provided for them.
Therefore, the only hope that the Quran offers Muslims is that if their good works outweigh their sins, then Allah of the Quran might forgive them.
Now, while there are many other DIFFERENCES between what the Bible ITSELF teaches compared to what the Quran and Islamic tradition teaches, the COMING of Jesus is radically different in Islam than the coming of Jesus is Christianity.
And I will explain some of the ways that the religion or faith of Islam CONTRADICTS what the Bible ITSELF teaches in the next chapter of Book 8 called B-8 Ch9 Muslims Say That Jesus Will DESTROY the Jews When He Comes!
And below is a Table of Contents with links to all of the chapters in Book 8 called Which FAITH is the TRUE Faith?
Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.

Book 8 Chapter 12.
In this chapter in Book 8 called “What is the TRUE FAITH?”, I will cover the simple basic questions that people have asked.
Questions like the titles above and below. Why do I need to be saved? Can anyone be saved? What are we saved from? And HOW to be Saved the Bible WAY?
Now, in chapter 12, my focus will be on the question, WHAT are we Saved FROM?
The short answer is we are saved from eternal DEATH called the SECOND DEATH in Revelation 2:11. Revelation 20:6,14, and Revelation 21:8.
We Are Saved FROM the WRATH of God and from the Lake of fire!
Let us begin this chapter by reading Revelation 2:11, the first occurrence of the words, “second death”.
Revelation 2:11.
“He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches; He that OVERCOMES shall NOT be hurt of the second death.”
So then, just because a person belongs to a church denomination, and faithfully attends church services every week, does not automatically mean that they are saved from the second death.
Jesus is speaking unto the CHURCHES, and he saves that he who OVERCOMES will not be hurt of the SECOND DEATH.
But what does Jesus mean by “he that OVERCOMES”. Overcome WHAT? In other words, what or who must we OVERCOME in order that the second death will not hurt us? And what exactly is the SECOND DEATH?
Let us read Revelation 20:6,14 to learn more details concerning what the Bible itself teaches us.
Revelation 20:6,14.
“Blessed and holy is he that has part in the FIRST resurrection: on such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years…
…14. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. THIS is the second death.”
So then, the second death is the LAKE of FIRE. But what does the Bible say about this FIRE that is called the SECOND DEATH?
But before we read a few of those passages of Scripture, let us read Revelation 21:8, which is the fourth and last verse with the words “second death” in it.
I will quote a little context with verse 8 so that you can see WHO will be cast into the lake of fire and who will NOT be cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21:6-8.
“And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is ATHIRST of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Revelation 21:7. He that OVERCOMES shall INHERIT all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Revelation 21:8. BUT the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
In this verse, we learn SOME of the things that we must OVERCOME in order to NOT be cast into the lake of fire to suffer the SECOND DEATH, which is also called ETERNAL damnation in Mark 3:29, and everlasting DESTRUCTION in 2 Thessalonians 1:9.
In other words, the world has two groups of people, those who ATHIRST for living water, who will OVERCOME, and those who do NOT OVERCOME. As Christians, we use the terms SAVED and UNSAVED.
In short, God gave us TWO choices in Deuteronomy 30:19, LIFE or DEATH. And God is begging all people to CHOOSE LIFE.
And according to Ezekiel 18:32 and Ezekiel 33:11, God takes no pleasure in the DEATH of a sinner.
Deuteronomy 30:19.
“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you LIFE and DEATH, blessing and cursing: THEREFORE, choose life, that both you and your seed may live:”
Some may ask, WHY did God set DEATH as one of the choices?
The short answer is so that God can DESTROY His ENEMIES that waged a WAR against Him and the angels who remained faithful to Him.
Please read Book 6 called B-6 Ch1 WHY God Created us!
But for now, the short answer is that Lucifer blamed God for the reason that he and the angels who sided him him wage a WAR against Almighty God and the angels who remained faithful to God.
For you see, according to Matthew 25:40 God PREPARED the everlasting fire for the Devil and his angels to DESTROY them all.
And to try to save themselves from being destroyed in the lake of fire, Lucifer accused God of creating him flawed or not creating him PERFECT.
Ezekiel 28:15.
“You were PERFECT in your ways from the day that you were created, TILL iniquity was found in you.”
In other words, God is saying to the angel or the cherub whom He anointed and set on a throne over the earth during a previous age of the earth, you are a LIAR.
I created you perfect in all of your ways. And from the day I created you until the day your corrupted yourself, you ways were perfect.
So then, do to the fact that one third of the angels were BLASPHEMING God NAME or God character, accusing Him of LYING, God SET down his DECREE.
Let us have a TRIAL to see WHO is the one LYING and who is the one who is TRUTHFUL?
And the JUDGMENT for the LIARS will be ETERNAL DEATH by being consumed to ashes in a lake of fire.
So then, originally, the everlasting fire of DESTRUCTION was ONLY prepared for the Devil and his angels.
The word or title “devil” means FALSE accuser. In other words, the god of this present world called Satan, the devil, is a LYING god.
And, according to Jesus in John 17:1-3, Almighty God the Father is the ONLY TRUTHFUL God.
The King James Version says the only TRUE God, but the Greek word used in this verse actually means TRUTHFUL, as opposed to the interpretation true God verses FALSE god.
For you see, Satan is indeed a REAL god, but he is a LYING and rebellious god.
And Almighty God the Creator is in the process of DETHRONING him and ANOINTING another to replace Satan as the God over the whole earth to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
Matthew 25:41.
“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, PREPARED FOR the devil and his angels:”
Now, according to Isaiah 5:11-14. Let us go ahead and read that passage of Scripture, because some unsaved people do not see anything wrong with getting drunk.
Isaiah 5:11-14.
“Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!
Isaiah 5:12. And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard NOT the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.
Isaiah 5:13. Therefore, my people are gone into captivity, (Speaking of being taken captive by Satan, the god of this present world) because they have no knowledge: (Speaking about knowledge of the TRUTH to be saved and how to receive eternal life in the world to come so that the SECOND DEATH has no power over them) and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
Isaiah 5:14. Therefore, hell has ENLARGED herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoices, shall descend into it.”
So then, I pray that you can see that God was placed on the spot, so to speak, to make PEACE in the universe without being seen by the faithful angels as a UNJUST God to destroy His ENEMIES that waged a WAR against Him and against them.
Now, the Christadelphian Christians, as well as, some other church denominations, such as the Roman Catholic Church, sincerely, but wrongly believe in the FALSE doctrine or original sin.
And thus, they build their other man-made doctrines upon the false doctrine of every person being born with a so-called sinful NATURE.
So then, Book 8 Which FAITH is the TRUE FAITH?

The Sound Biblical God INTENDED FAITH!
The correct God intended UNDERSTANDING of God and His Son will make the Bible so much easier to understand.
For yow see. It you have the WRONG VIEW of God and His Son, then you will read that WRONG UNDERSTANDING into the Scriptures.
And thus, that “interpretation” of those verses of Scripture will NOT AGREE with the REST of God’s word.
And those contradictions cause CONFUSION!
1 Corinthians 14:33.
“For God is NOT the author of CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”

Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
For a deeper understanding of this WAR that Lucifer and one third of the angels waged against the throne of Almighty God, please read the studies under the subject category called ** Q-0 Why Are We Here? Is God at WAR? **.
