| Misconceptions and False Perceptions |

Allah a false God?I want to address the common statement that Allah is a false God… I heard it again this weekend... this is a matter we must be very careful about. Christian Arabs call God, Allah; The only appropriate word for God in Arabic is Allah. What is more accurate to say is that Muslims have an inaccurate or incomplete view of God. Much of their concept of who God is, is accurate and right from the Bible (the OT), as they believe and accept the Torah, Psalms, Prophets and the Injil (gospel). But, they don’t believe the trinity, Jesus’ divinity and don’t think God is our Father, or think one can know they're going to heaven. In fact, Muslims and Jews are essentially the SAME as far as their theology, with a few minor differences. We would never say that Jews believe in a false God. But we would not say that either Muslims or Jews are getting to heaven with their current understanding either. It is only inflammatory to insist that they believe in a false God. Better states, they're view of God is inaccurate and incomplete. |
