    Found this little article on this subject: http://jehovah.to/exe/greek/yhwh.htm Especially interesting is the quote: Rabbi Yose Ha-Gelili says: "During the week one should take the Tetragrammatons from them, hide them and burn the rest"

    lol, that's one of the most used cop-outs I come across. Obviously, becuase I'm 20, I'm a complete retard when it comes to someone older than me, is that what you're saying? Thanks. It's nice to know what the older generation think of the younger one - dismiss what they say because they're...

    Right, the 11 Times "Thomas" appears in Scripture: Matthew 10:3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Mark 3:18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot Luke 6:15 Matthew...

    If it's a personal name, then yes, it is. Lets take a name from the Scriptures as an example: Timothy. Timothy in Greek is a contraction of the Greek Time (timh) meaning, to honour, and the Greek theos (Qeos) for God, and therefore Timotheos/Timothy, is a personal name that means "honouring...

    Fair enough. Islam isn't as nice as it says it is :) But does that turn swalchy into a personal name though? Or does it remain as a title that I allow for myself? But doesn't that just mean that Allah is still a personal name, yet that is the meaning of the name "Allah" ? My personal...

    All those three "different" ways of writing Allah still only contain the same four consonants - Alif-Lam-Lam-ha (read right to left) - Allah. I'm not really sure why you did that, but that's interesting non-the-less :) So, if many people considered my name to be "swalchy" and that "Stephen"...

    Seeing as though I haven't slandered/abused/flamed, or said anything bad to anyone in this thread, I'm going to have to see your reasoning for why I owe ... someone around here an apology. Then that's the exact same meaning as the English word "god/God" ! Which is what I've been stating all...

    Again, where have I EVER stated that when Arab Christians or Jews say "Allah" that they're refering to the same pagan god as Muslims do? This again is the same slander that MTB put towards me, which he didn't apologise for. Allah is a personal name in arabic. ilah is the word that means...

    Allah

    Please refer to post #85 where I even admit that is what they do. Allah is a personal Name - Even Edward William Lane, the author of the Arabic-English Lexicon says that concerning the word "Allah" that according to the most correct opinions of Arab grammarians, which are more than thirty in...

    Right, go back and read post numbers #60, #73 and #80 and then tell me why these statements of yours are incorrect in light of the evidence.

    lol, thanks for the compliment sunlover. Although I doubt that many people would see it that way..

    Ahh, Greek is an awesome language. The use of the definite article is all to do with cases and how the word is used in the text. When the Greek says "Ho Theos" (The God)- that indicates that God is the subject, and therefore God is doing/saying/seeing etc something, so God is therefore the...

    Allah

    Agreed, ContentInHim. [/FONT] They indeed do sound quite similar - ilah = ill -ahh. Allah = Al (as in Alfred) - ahh, so there could be some accent issues. But I would say that Arab Christians saying "Allah" is more of a culture thing - Just like we English people use the LORD and God...

    Allah

    Almost there - Allah, as far as anyone can actually tell, doesn't mean "God" - it's apparently a contraction of il and ilah (il = the, ilah = God), so Allah could mean "the God" but never just "god". But no one as of yet has been able to provide any evidence that Allah is indeed a contraction of...

    It's a common misconception that the Arabic name Allah corresponds to the English word God, when in fact, throughout the Koran (one of the oldest known pieces of Arabic literature, and was originally written in it's Paleo-Arabic form) the Arabic Allah is always, 100% of the time, used as a name...

    Also, it wouldn't be the first time that culture has affected what is put in a translation of the Scriptures.

    Allah

    Sorry, but the Arabic word for god is ilah. Even the koran states it as such: 3.62: This is the true account, the true explanation: There is no Ilah (God) except Allah. 52:43: Have they an ilah (god) other than Allah? 5:4: Pronounce the Name of Allah: and fear Allah; for Allah is swift...

    I do hope that isn't an RC teaching.

    Allah

    To correct the op: Actually, the Arabic word for "god" is ilah - Allah is indeed the name of a false pagan god. That is why the Islamic statement of of faith is: "La ilaha ill Allah" - there is no god (ilah) but Allah. If Allah was merely the arabic word for "god" then it would say "La...

    The Inquisition

    Sorry, but there was more than just the "Spanish Inquesition". How about the Inquesition that was rampant throughout Europe? It's due to the Inquesition that we have the phrase, "Men in Black" as it was Catholic Priests dressed in black clothes that carried out the inquesition, and people in...
