On a Bible debate forum, I am observing Post after Post defending Allah and suggesting Allah is the same god of the Holy Bible…please allow me to differentiate between Allah and Jesus Christ-Yeshua. Forgive me for the lengthy post…

Our Creator, the God of the Holy Bible, has identified Himself in Scripture by Name as “I AM” (Exodus 3:14) and we know Him as Jesus Christ-Yeshua who is Elohim in Genesis 1 and the Living Word of God in the Gospel of John, Chapter 1.

Allah is NOT creator but Allah is created. Allah is Lucifer who was God’s chief cherub angel in the Kingdom of Heaven, but Lucifer coveted God’s authority and dominion while one-third of the entire angelic community followed Lucifer in his rebellion to usurp God’s authority.

As a result of Lucifer’s (Allah) attempted Coup and because the destructive presence of sin is NOT permitted in God’s Kingdom, our Creator, Jesus Christ-Yeshua, spoke into existence the realm of Time, the Universe, Earth, mankind, at which time our Creator removed Lucifer and the rebellious angles from the Kingdom and placed them within the constraints of Time. It is here that we see the advent of Allah in the Garden of Eden who eventually manifests himself publicly via a religion initiated through Abraham, Hagar, Ishmael i.e. Islam. In close proximity in Time, we see the origin of Judaism/Christianity manifesting from the seed of Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob AKA Israel.

It is important to note that Ishmael (the genealogical genesis of Islam), the son of Abraham through Hagar, is NOT the son of promise but only Isaac born to Abraham and his wife, Sarah, did our Creator bring forth Messiah-Yeshua who died to provide mankind a pardon from death in sin and Hell. (Genesis 17:20-21)

Why did our Creator choose to not simply destroy Lucifer and the angles for their coup d’état?

Lucifer-Allah is the adversary of our Creator, Jesus Christ-Yeshua, and God is dealing with Allah-Lucifer within the constraints of Time apart from the Kingdom of God where no sin is permitted. Our God is defined as LOVE and He desires relationship with both His angelic and human creation. In order for love and relationship to manifest in purity and authenticity, one must be free to choose to love or hate; otherwise love is robotic and impotent. Understand that our Creator did not destroy Lucifer (Allah) subsequent to his rebellion in the Kingdom because had our Creator arbitrarily destroyed Lucifer and the angels that followed Lucifer in the rebellion, the remaining two-thirds of the faithful angelic creation would no longer love our Creator out of free will/volition but out of fear. True love and relationship cannot manifest in fear; therefore, our Creator spoke into existence the realm of Time, this Universe and the Earth and placed Lucifer-Allah within the constraints of Time apart from the Heavenly Realm. The spiritual struggle between our Creator, Jesus Christ-Yeshua, and Allah-Satan is currently being played-out before our eyes constrained by the realm of Time. This cosmic struggle initiated by Lucifer-Allah can be seen in the Realm of Time as the struggle that exists today between Islam v. Israel and Allah’s hatred for the Jewish people and Islam’s hatred for the State of Israel.

The faithful Angles in God’s Kingdom are watching the events unfold as Allah-Satan steals, kills, destroys, with impunity on this Earth and the faithful Angels will, in the summation of all things following the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ, these faithful Angles will agree with God that Allah-Lucifer/Satan must be destroyed. Satan-Allah will be confined and tormented in the Lake of Fire forever and the faithful Angles of God will agree that this punishment is just and righteous.

All who have been deceived by Allah serve Satan unaware and they are seeking death in sin and death in Hell for their servitude of our Creator’s most prolific adversary, Allah, who is the demonic god of Islam!

Everyone who has believed in Jesus Christ-Yeshua as Lord and entered into a relationship with God the Father by grace through faith in the Son, Jesus Christ, will spend Eternity with God in His Kingdom as servants. These faithful will be permitted to enter God’s Kingdom subsequent to death of the body because they have been redeemed and forgiven of all sin as a result of their faith in and love for Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

In response to the question: “What was Lucifer’s/Allah’s sin?”

Allah v. Yeshua?

Islam is most certainly an Abrahamic Religion as Islam finds its genesis in Ishmael born to Abraham through an adulterous relationship with Hagar. Ishmael is the progenitor of a people our Creator refers to as “wild donkeys” and it is through Abraham’s infidelity with Hagar that Lucifer-Satan has publicly introduced himself to mankind (Genesis 16:12; 2 Corinthians 11:14).

Lucifer’s sin in the Kingdom was covetousness, for Lucifer passionately desired to be like the Most High and desperately desired God’s worship, authority, dominion. It is Lucifer’s attempted coup d’état in the Kingdom before the creation of Time that initiated the creation of Time, the Universe, Earth, mankind, Hell; this was done in order that the sin of Lucifer could be removed from the Kingdom and dealt with within the constraints of Time apart from the Kingdom were nothing impure is permitted to exist (2 Timothy 1:10; 1 John 3:8; Revelation 21:27).

Lucifer, a beautiful cherub angel (Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:12-17), coerced one-third of the entire angelic realm to follow him in a cosmic rebellion (Revelation 12:4), a coup d’état, against our Creator, Jesus Christ-Yeshua; therefore, Lucifer and the rebellious angels (now demons) were removed from the Kingdom (Luke 10:18; Isaiah 14:12-15). Our Creator spoke into existence the realm of Time by fashioning unseen elements of the Spiritual World into matter visible to the senses of mankind constrained by Time (Hebrews 11:3) and within the constraints of Time, our Creator placed this Universe, Earth, mankind and Lucifer (Genesis 3).

It was in the Garden of Eden that the struggle between Yeshua and Lucifer/Allah was initiated (Genesis 3:14-15) and that struggle can be observed throughout the pre-flood and post-flood generations with its most virulent episode manifesting at the Crucifixion of Yeshua. It was not until the 7th-Century that Lucifer publicly introduced himself through an Arabic moon-god (2 Corinthians 11:14) and a false prophet, desert murderer and pedophile named Muhammad. It is through the way of Islam that Allah-Satan has received power, dominion, worship, as he fervently battles against the people of Yeshua i.e. the Jews and the Christians. Allah-Satan finds acceptance and legitimacy by touting the relationship of Islam with Abraham via Hagar via Ishmael.

Allah-Satan conspired with Hitler and untold others to destroy the Jew, but Allah-Satan in his efforts to annihilate the Jewish people unwittingly inspired the “Never Again” movement and the Nation of Israel was reborn (1948); the struggle between Allah-Satan and Yeshua has exponentially increased subsequent to the fulfillment of Ezekiel’s prophecy (Ezekiel 34:13). It will ultimately be Islam-Allah-Satan and his allies, Russia-China-Arabic coalition, that sparks the coming Apocalypse that will be a nuclear war initiated in Jerusalem, Israel. Yeshua will be victorious (Revelation 5:5)! Know your enemy!

All glory and honor to Yeshua who is victorious over the Evil One and has set the captives free from death in sin and Hell via His love and mercy at the Crucifixion.

AMERICA, please listen; please understand this truism. America is dying daily in our apostasy, our rebellion to the authority, providence, love and guidance of our Creator, Jesus Christ-Yeshua. America is under God’s Judgment/Wrath for the mutilation of 61-million babies subsequent to SCOTUS’ decision affirming Roe v. Wade (1973). The signs that God’s Wrath is upon the American people is indicated by the presence of Progressive-Socialism, Islamism, radical LGBTQ activism in our Governmental entities. So few American’s know the origin of Islam and even fewer know the true identity of Allah. Understand that Islam, Allah, Muhammad are counterfeits of the Trinity and Christianity. Understand that Allah is Lucifer manifest in Time who initiated the cosmic struggle via rebellion to God’s authority, dominion in the Heavenly Realm. If you desire to know God’s Plan for Allah, Muhammad, Islam in conjunction with God’s Plan for this Universe, Earth, mankind, I have provided a succinct overview via the Holy Spirit’s guidance relevant to our Creator’s Plan and purposes for Time and Life and Mankind, please see: https://rickeyholtsclaw.com/2017/09/27/in-the-beginning-god-why/

Excellent, articulate, succinct, exacting, overview of the motives relevant to Progressive-Socialism in America. It is tragic to sit here as one who loves America and has benefited greatly from Her beauty, kindness, richness and watch the Progressive-Democrats-Socialists-Islamist’s systematically destroy our Constitutional Republic right before my eyes. I don’t see America recovering from such a successful Socialistic assault on Her values, mores, norms, ethics…a Progressive-Marxist assault that has been in the works since strategized by John Dewey/1900. America has lost two-three generations of youth via systematic brainwashing in Darwinian Evolution, historical revisionism, atheism, naturalism, identity politics, sexual-orientation confusion, addiction, socialism. I don’t believe anything other than a successful Civil War 2.0 aimed at annihilating Progressivism/Islam in our Government, Education, Hollywood and driving these demonic ideologies into the oceans will provide America hope for restoration; should a Civil War be successful in eradicating the Progressive scourge metastasizing in America, it would mandate another two-three generations of youth raised to know our Creator, Jesus Christ, trained in the truth of America’s Constitution/essential founding documents and trained in the mores, norms, ethics necessary to sustain our society and our Republic before a modicum of hope would be realized. I’m afraid America is dying in apostasy resulting from our abortion/infanticide (Roe-73), unconscionable sexual perversion (Obergefell-2015), compromise with Islam, confusion, dissension, addiction. Also, I believe there is most likely an eschatological purpose concerning the fall of America as a World Power.

10 Burning Questions I Have About Heaven by Godless Mom

https://www.patheos.com/blogs/godlessmom/2019/03/10-burning-questions-i-have-about-heaven/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

1. Are Good Place residents aware of the Bad Place?

The primary purpose for our lives constrained by Time is to prepare for Eternity. As I explain here, mankind constrained by Time on Earth is actively participating in a cosmic struggle between good v. evil, Yeshua v. Lucifer, a cosmic struggle that was initiated before the creation of Time, the Universe, humanity, Hell. In summation of the Scriptures, one must conclude that our experiences while constrained by Time are most relevant in preparation for servitude in Eternity concerning those who choose to trust in Messiah-Yeshua as Lord for the forgiveness of sin thereby allowing their spirit access to God’s Kingdom subsequent to death of the human body (2 Corinthians 5:8).

It is during our stay, our experiences, on this Earth that we are made aware of the ramifications of compromise with sin e.g. aberrant lust, violent hate, murder, hopelessness, lying, deceit, covetousness. It is history that defines the unconscionable horrors of mankind’s disobedience to God’s edicts, those edicts having been instituted for our edification, our knowledge, our warning, our hope, our health, our sustainability, in the goodness of God’s Law.

It is for this reason I believe we will carry our memories of sin’s hopelessness into the Kingdom of God as a remembrance of God’s goodness through His Law and that a sustainable life with joy and peace is ONLY possible through obedience to our Lord. Yes, I do believe that we will be aware of Hell and the recompense for disobedience by those who rejected the righteousness of Yeshua and pursued the unrighteousness of Lucifer.

This remembrance will NOT stymie “free will” or volitional love for our Creator because the redeemed will have full-knowledge of why God has done what He has done and the consensus of the Redeemed for God’s wrath toward sin will reflect complete agreement. Our remembrances of the horrors of sin combined with a resurrected body free from the sin-nature of Adam and an environment of intimate fellowship with the faithful throughout the history of the World will ensure that free will can manifest in God’s Kingdom and be secured by complete knowledge of the horrors of sin and rebellion and hopelessness in compromising one’s relationship with our Lord through disobedience. In other words, it is the remembrance of sin’s horror and the ramifications of same that will act as a stalwart against rebellion in God’s Kingdom and this stalwart will be internalized by full-knowledge that God’s way is the ONLY way to a sustainable life with purpose, joy and peace.

2. Will my dog be in Heaven with me?

The Scriptures do not respond to this question but our Creator has promised to give the faithful the desires of their heart; therefore, it is certainly possible that the love of our pets could be found in Eternity. It’s important to remember that animals are not created with a spirit that transcends Time but this will be no problem for our omnipotent Creator as He seeks to express His eternal love for those who have trusted in Him as Lord.

 “Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4 (NASB)

but just as it is written, “THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.” 1 Corinthians 2:9 (NASB)

3. If there are cats in Heaven, do they still knock things over?

The Scriptures do not suggest that Earthly/Time relevant physics will be restricted in the Eternal Kingdom but that physics will actually be irrelevant in many instances; therefore, the playful nature of our pets, if they are present in the Kingdom, will not be deterred.

4. Is there free will in Heaven?

Yes, there is free will in Heaven. Free will is currently practiced by the Angels in Heaven and this Angelic “free will” is evidenced by Lucifer’s rebellion and the unfaithful angels that followed Lucifer in that rebellion. The supreme ethic given mankind by our Creator is “love” and love cannot exist in purity and authenticity void volition or free will i.e. the ability to “choose.” If one cannot choose to hate, they cannot truly love; therefore, in order for our relationship with our Creator to manifest in purity and authenticity, one must possess free will. Some see free will in Heaven as a problem; therefore, I refer you back to my response to question #1 and also to my article “In the Beginning God – Why?”

5. Can we play Zelda games in Heaven?

The Redeemed/Faithful in Heaven will be so busy serving our God that I seriously doubt Zelda games will be an issue…but the Scriptures do not discuss this point.

6. How can we know what’s good in Heaven if there is nothing to compare it to?

Those who dwell in God’s presence in the Eternal Kingdom are not constrained by the cognitive limitations manifest as a result of mankind’s corrupted genome; therefore, the Redeemed in Heaven will have full knowledge of goodness and joy and peace as opposed to the hopelessness of a life lived in the futility of sin. Again, this life in Time is nothing more than preparation for Eternity; therefore, we will not leave behind the knowledge of good v. evil and righteousness v. death in sin when we shed this body of sin in our death relevant to Time.

7. Can we fornicate in Heaven?

No, sin will not be permitted to manifest in God’s Kingdom and the redeemed will not seek fornication because the sin-nature that lends itself to rebellion will not be present in the resurrected body that is fashioned after the glorious body of our resurrected Lord.

8. Is Heaven where masturbation is suddenly okay in the eyes of the lord?

See #7.

9. What if we see someone in Heaven who we didn’t like in life?

Love, not discord, will be the prevalent theme in Heaven and fellowship among the brethren will manifest in God’s Love. Discord is the resultant of jealousy, self-righteousness, selfish-judgment; therefore, these impediments to love and fellowship will be absent and a desire to honor others with respect due them will be paramount.

10. Is there bacon in Heaven and if so, how does Heaven really feel all that great to a vegan?

God will give to each according to his needs and desires. There will be no personal judgment against a brother for food or drink but each to his own in respect for God’s gift of provision without lack in the Kingdom. Satisfaction and contentment in God’s love and provision will reign true among the Redeemed in God’s Kingdom.

Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; this man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Nicodemus said to Him, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and do not understand these things? Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know and testify of what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony. If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”  The Gospel of John 3: 1-21 (NASB)

“For myself, as, no doubt, for most of my contemporaries, the philosophy of meaningless was essentially an instrument of liberation. The liberation we desired was simultaneously liberation from a certain political and economic system and liberation from a certain system of morality. We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom.” Aldous Huxley, atheist, writer, novelist, philosopher

Comment to article below:

Texas law enforcement, especially the large Texas Municipalities, has completely gone off the reservation of commonsense and is wholly given over to PC, LGBTQ, liberal policies that castrate Law Enforcement’s ability to enforce the law; presently, the scumbags rule and mock the police and the people suffer. Liability concerns thwart proactive policing and I find absolutely no reason for educated young men and women to serve in law enforcement today where lowered ethical and moral standards, necessary to hire the sexually perverse, destroy the integrity of law enforcement while there is scant-to-zero support from Politically Correct police administrations and liberal-progressive-socialist Mayors; Mayors with an agenda of appeasement to the morally sick/antisocial in our society. America is dying daily in apostasy and the decimation our law enforcement community is one rung on the ladder leading to a Socialist Hell. May God have mercy on our posterity!

“Sheriff Sally Hernandez puts illegal aliens above her own deputies” (February 19, 2019) Publisher: Law Enforcement Today

Numbers 5:11-31 (Test for Unfaithful Wife)

Numbers 5 is far too often used by pro-choice advocates in their efforts to prove the Bible supports abortion. The atheist/pro-abortion advocate will cite Numbers 5 in the NIV which incorrectly translates the Hebrew.

The Incorrect Translation…

Numbers 5:21, 22, 27, 28 (NIV)

²¹ here the priest is to put the woman under this curse—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. ²² May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.” “‘Then the woman is to say, “Amen. So be it.”

²⁷ If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse. ²⁸ If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.

The Correct Translation…

Numbers 5:21, 22, 27, 28 (NASB)

²¹ (then the priest shall have the woman swear with the oath of the curse, and the priest shall say to the woman), “the Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people by the Lord’s making your thigh ^[m]waste away and your abdomen swell; ²² and this water that brings a curse shall go into your ^[n]stomach, and make your abdomen swell and your thigh ^[o]waste away.” And the woman shall say, “Amen. Amen.”

²⁷ When he has made her drink the water, then it shall come about, if she has defiled herself and has been unfaithful to her husband, that the water which brings a curse will go into her ^[r]and cause bitterness, and her abdomen will swell and her thigh will ^[s]waste away, and the woman will become a curse among her people. ²⁸ But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, she will then be free and conceive ^[t]children.

Note: In the Hebrew, this test does NOT involve a child or a pregnant woman, but is simply a test of faithfulness v. unfaithfulness. If the Woman is guilty, her uterus will be made sterile or “waste away.” If the Woman is not guilty of adultery, she will be able to bear children…there is no mention of a miscarriage or abortion in the Hebrew…it’s simply the difference between sterility and fertility, but no child is mentioned in the text other than in v. 28 stating that the innocent Wife would be fertile and able to bear children.

See the following verses in Numbers 5 in Hebrew and note “nephal” (Strongs 5307) (waste away) is used and NOT “nephel” (Strongs 5309) (miscarriage or abortion).

v. 21 in Hebrew: https://biblehub.com/text/numbers/5-21.htm

v. 22 in Hebrew: https://biblehub.com/text/numbers/5-22.htm

v. 27 in Hebrew: https://biblehub.com/text/numbers/5-27.htm

The Hebrew word for miscarriage is “nephel” (Strongs #5309) (miscarriage or abortion) but Numbers v. 21-22 and 27 use the Hebrew word “naphal” (Strongs #5307) (to fall, lie) concerning the woman’s uterus (thigh or abdomen).  There is no mention of “miscarry” or a child in the Hebrew relevant to Numbers 5:21-22, 27.

See the Hebrew word “nephel” designating “abortion or miscarry which is NOT found in Numbers 5: https://biblehub.com/hebrew/5309.htm

See the Hebrew word “nephal” (nō-p̄e-leṯ) as used in Numbers 5 meaning “to fall or lie” or to “waste away” https://biblehub.com/hebrew/5307.htm

Note: The NIV is the ONLY version that uses “miscarriage” in v. 21 and 22, see: https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/17009/does-numbers-511-22-describe-sanctioned-abortion

“Got Questions” agrees that Numbers 5 is not discussing an abortion and notes that the NIV mistakenly translates “miscarriage.” See: https://www.gotquestions.org/Numbers-abortion.html
