Don’t be Misled

Below is the “meaning of Allah” according to Wikipedia online.

Allah (English pronunciation: /ˈælə/ or /ˈɑːlə/;[1] Arabic: الله‎ Allāh, IPA: [ʔɑlˈlɑː] ( listen), [ʔalˤˈlˤɑː]) is a word for God, mostly used in the context of Islam. In Arabic, it is the standard word for "God," used not only by Muslims, but also by Bahá'ís, Eastern Catholic Christians, Maltese Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox Christians, Mizrahi Jews and Sikhs.[2][3][4]

From what I have read, it is stating that Allah is a word for God but mostly in context in Islam. As I research the Islam part of it, it states that Muhammad is the messenger of God or Allah.

And there we go. That is what separates the two. We serve GOD not Allah. Christians serve God and not the other. If you go with the Christian part of it then you must follow the Christian belief. That God is God. The Word of God does not say anything in it with the words “Allah” in it. Not mine anyway. ( I am sure you can buy a translation that will say what you want it to say) If you go with the Islamic part of it then you must believe the part of it that says that Muhammad is the messenger of God. Again, The Word of God does not mention Muhammad as being the messenger of God. The Word does mention that the only way to God the Father is through Jesus Christ. That is who I serve and worship and that is why I and My family have eternal life. Jesus is the Reason.

In the world today, you will read and hear lots of things but you cannot believe everything you read and hear. It has to line up with the word of God. One example is that a web site trying to teach the reader that Allah and God are the same. It has a statement on the website that says:

On page one [1] of Genesis in the Old Testament, we find the word "Allah" seventeen [17] times.

Well, I am not sure what translation of the Bible they are using but none of my Bibles have that in it. Be careful of what you read and hear. Don’t be swayed. Serve God through Jesus!

Summer 2011

  Summer is just beginning but is also moving at a fast pace.  It won’t be long and the summer will be over.  The kids are out of school but will be back to school in a little over a month now.  You know, it’s the typical “I’m Bored!” kind of situation for the kids.  The picture above is a night baseball game that we went to.  Michelle and I took Bradley to see the Red Birds play in Memphis.  He really loved it.  Lexi left yesterday to go to Joplin, MO to help out on a mission trip with the Church youth group.  She will be home tonight.  Then she will be going to Church camp in another week.  Allison hasn’t had much going on but she has spent a few nights at some friend’s house from time to time and to her, it seems that she is satisfied with that.  Bradley is like his Daddy. He is a “home body”  He just asked me a few minutes ago if we had anything going on today.  I told him no.  So he asked if we were going anywhere today.  I said nope.  He said, so we are staying at home all day?”  and I said yes.  His reply was typical.  He said oh yes.  I have been working overtime most everyday and it seems that when I get home, I just want to stay there and do nothing.  Michelle explains that my “ do nothing”  idea is actually playing on the computer.  I am a geek or nerd so I guess that is what I do.  I just got my Google+ invite yesterday so I am still playing on it and trying to figure it all out.  I know Michelle gets bored with that and would rather us be able to do something together.  I will have to figure that out and fix it.  Not sure what we will do.  I do have my vacation starting in about a week. I am looking forward to that but also plan on getting some stuff done around the house.  It’s just too hot to go camping.  The kids would be satisfied with staying in a local hotel for one night but what is the point of that.  Just simple I guess.  Easily amused. I guess I will go for now but want to actually create an article on here that will talk about some geeky stuff like some of the Google tools that are available and other thoughts.  We will see how long that will take me to complete that.  Have an awesome weekend.
