Moslems believe that their god al-lah gave promises to the people of Israel, in covenant. One of these was to Abraham; father of many nations; through his sons; Isaac and Ishmael. Another promise was given to Isaac, that the Messiah would be sent to his people.

Now al-lah as promised in the Bible continued to give prophets to the peoples of Isaac (Moslems count 25 people as being prophet - See Appendix below). Now we see that after Isaac, there is a number of prophets coming to the Jews until Jesus, being the last. Suddenly, al-lah, if we are to believe the Moslems gets fed up with the Jews and moves his mantle of truth to the Arabs - even though there's no promise with them! The only 'covenant' I'm aware of is the one mentioned in the Bible, and it's not with Ishmael. The fact that they believe al-lah continued to send prophets to the Jews shows that, despite their attempts to re-work Ishmael's legitimacy, recognise that the convent was NOT with him, but with Isaac.

Where is the book of Ishmael that this prophet took with him when he founded the Arab tribes? Surely, the Jews too, would be interested to know what words of God were revealed to the Arabs.

Why did al-lah break his promise?

I believe it is the people that lie. YHWH never lies! Many wolves come in sheeps clothing. As your posts state itself, the promise was with Issac, not Ishmael. How could Muhammad be a prophet when he does not fit into the geneological lineage? How exactly do you think YHWH broke his promise?

All Christians do not worship 3 gods, because all do not believe in the trinity. I, as a follower of Jesus, believe in One G-D, the Father, in Jesus, the Messiah, and Son of G-d, and the Holy Spirit. You are right when you say that "Christians" that believe in the trinity are worshipping 3 gods as one.

No Christians worship 3 gods. All Christians worship one triune God.

Because allah is true the moon god. When you think about how islam says "allah akbar" = god is great. This is the wrong translation. "allah akbar" means god is greater. Now, either the quran made a very serious mistake in the arabic language. In this case, we would know it is not the word of god. Or allah is greater (than other gods). In this case, we know that the story is true which was told of mohamed. when he wanted to spread the religion about allah, other pagan were against him. So he said that your gods are still true and worshipped BUT ALLAH IS GREATER (THAN THEM ALL).
NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?

shouldn't this thread be titled "Lies about Allah"

Can't you do any better?

It seems it the right of Muslims to make such statements.

Please get back to the issue of why you think Ishmael is a prophet. Where is the Book of Ishamel that he gave to the Arabs?

Genesis 5:5
And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

He can lie.

This means you don't understand but still does that stop you commenting? When you sin, you die to God. When he ate, he sinned, he died. I suppose next you're going to say that when Christians say we are re-born, it involves some kind of medical procedure - an unbirth?
