That’s bullshit of the lowest order. Pray does not automatically mean worship. Here’s a good example for you: “Pray tell where you got that bull from?” I guarantee you that I am not worshiping you. Catholics are not worshiping the lady; they’re asking her assistance with their worship of her son.
More bullshit.
I’m going to have to remember this line the next time some ignoramus (akin to Flyer) tells me that I, as LDS, do not worship God.
I thought (and I may be mistaken) that the Islamic recounting of the Abraham’s intended sacrifice had Ishmael in Isaac’s place.
I’ve wondered who the Fundamentalists who condemn Jews think the Jews are worshiping if not the deity supported in the Bible.
Nah, just a rude Fundamentalist. Oh, I see that’s what you just said there.
no it is only malaysia, and of course very stupid. But the decision seems to be just attacking the catholic church newspaper.
it is very stupid in any case and against all islamic teaching
apparently the one true god is also american english speaking… funny.
very convincing…
no, actually not.
Oh, I forgot to ask [del]Jesus Christ[/del] [del]Fred Phelps[/del] Flyer something: So, which group or groups have made it onto your short list of those who actually worship the true deity?
And, evidently, not all that up on the capitalization rules for American English!
Christians have some gall going around talking about “the one true God.” You mean three, right? A lot of mental gymnastics on that part. You can also lump the devil on there as a fourth god. You guys just took every god of the underworld and filed the serial numbers off.
Ask them a trick question.
I thought it was accepted that the names Allah, Ilu, etc. were all cognates that trace back to very early civilizatiuons. It’s Yahweh who’s the odd man out.
Any scholars available to confirm/refute that Deuteronomy chaqpter 2 makes a clear distinction between El ‘Aliyon and Yahweh, with the latter one of several subordinate to the former?
All you pagans seem to be unaware of the real moon diety, Princess Serenity:
If anything, I would bet she is Buddhist (or maybe Shinto) rather than Muslim.
Ooh ooh, I have a question – how about the Jews? Is their god the ‘real’ god? How about the Amish? Theology according to Flyer is so much fun!
You’re misunderstanding the situation. Catholics pray to humans like Mary or another saint but only as an intermediary. Catholics do not believe that these people have any divine power themselves. But they believe these people have a closer access to God because of their devotion in their lifetime. So the hope is that the saint will pass the prayer on to God and God will grant it as a favor to the saint.
You may not like this but it is the case. Jews, Christians, and Muslims are all worshiping the same God. Their disputes are over the exact nature of this God and what are the requirements of worship.
Saying that Catholics and Protestants worship a different God is wrong. They worship the same God but they worship him differently.
I suggest we all have a war to decide who’s right.
Wouldn’t that then also make Christians Jews?
slightly incorrect. It is ilah. The form Allah is only for the God, it is contracting al-ilah in singular (The God) .
The shahada is in this part: la ilah ilaa allah. No god but God.
No it would be “ilah”
No the son of God is a christian idea. Islam holds Jesus to be a prophet, but rejects the son of god concept as association and thus it is hidden polythiesm idea.
Everyone here is aware that Christians who worship in Arabic have been calling their God “Allah” since always, yes?
I would think that alone is a solid disproof.
Al-lah = the God.
It’s as simple as that, linguistically. Now, you want to argue that a Muslim’s conception of god differs from that of a Presbyterian, well sure! But that’s not exactly news.
both Arabic speaking Christians and Jews and from before Islam.
Golly. The Virgin Mary in that Chick tract sure looks like Kate Middleton!
Yer face blue yet, Smurfy?
