This god of Today… is a Figment of the Imagination of Man - LLM




.



With all that is going on in the United States AND in the world right now, I believe it is very important that Children of God make sure they are straight on certain foundational issues. So, I want to talk about this so-called god of Today

This so-called god that is being pushed everywhere today no more resembles the Almighty God, The Supreme Sovereign of Holy Scripture than does the light from a candle to that of the sun. This so-called god who is now talked about from most pulpits, spoken of in most Sunday Schools, mentioned in most of the religious books and literature of today, is a figment of man’s imagination.

LOOK, THERE IS NO OTHER POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE BETWEEN AN ABSOLUTE SUPREME GOD...AND...NO GOD AT ALL!

I want you all to be very clear on this...so it is very important that I am getting thru

A "god" whose will is resisted, whose plans are frustrated, and whose purpose is checkmated, possesses no title to Deity, and FAR FROM BEING THE RIGHT OBJECT OF WORSHIP, MERITS NOTHING BUT CONTEMPT!

This is NOT the GOD of the Bible. The God of the Holy Bible, "the great God and our Saviour, Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:13), is Absolutely Supreme and A TOTAL SOVEREIGN! This is MY GOD!!!

In Ephesians 1:13 the Holy Spirit through the Apostle Paul declares that men are saved and sealed by hearing and BELIEVING the Word of Truth, the Gospel of your Salvation. Therefore, here, now, is declared unto you the Word of Truth, the Gospel of your Salvation: "that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures" 1 Corinthians 15:3-4. BELIEVE today. The time is short.

So There You Have it!

Spread this message to everyone you know, far and wide.

Grace be to you and peace, from God: our Father, and The LORD Jesus Christ.

WHO IS ALLAH? ALLAH IS NOT THE GOD OF THE BIBLE - LLM



.



While many sincere and well-meaning, but MISGUIDED Christian pastors, preachers, and teachers, have argued that the word "Allah" is simply the Arabic word for "God", the facts are something quite different.

Even among Islamic scholars there is general agreement that the term "Allah" refers to a pagan deity before Islam came into existence under the leadership of Mohammed. The pre-Islamic Arab culture spoke of 360 gods of which "Allah" was simply just one of them.

The correct Arabic name for "God" is the word "Al-ilah". And it must be stated that it became a generic title for whatever god was considered the highest god.

EVERY Arab tribe used "Allah" to refer to its own particular high god. For example, the moon god called "Hubal" was the god to whom Arabs prayed at the Ka'aba and when they prayed they used the name "Allah".

Historians have said that "Allah" was the chief of the 360 gods that were worshiped in Arabia at the time that Mohammed came to prominence.

Now, some Muslims will become angry when hearing this history about "Allah". They don't want to believe or accept that "Allah" was already being worshipped at the Ka'aba in Mecca by Arab pagans before the time of Mohammed. There is also evidence that the term "Allah" was used by heathen Arabs not only in Arabia but also among the Nabateans.

The name "Allah" was well known in PRE-Islamic Arabia (as even the Qur'an testifies). Even the feminine form of the word is "Allat" (simply means "the goddess"), and is found in many inscriptions from North Africa as well as in Arabic inscriptions prior to Islam.

"Allah" is NOT a common name in Arabic for "God". Muslims must use another word or form to indicate any other than their own peculiar deity.

Other gods mentioned in the Qur'an are all FEMALE deities: "Al-Lat" and "al-Uzza" and "Manat" which are represented by the sun, the planet Venus, and Fortune or Destiny. At Mecca they were regarded as the daughters of "Allah"

Among the pagan Arabs before the time of Mohammed, the term "Allah" represented the chief god of their particular pantheon at the Ka'aba with its 360 idols. The central shrine at Mecca, the Ka'aba, is a cube-like stone structure that has a black stone in one of its corners that must be kissed as an ESSENTIAL ritual of the Haj, the pilgrimage that all Muslims must take at least once in their life to Mecca.

REMEMBER: since Satan is the ruler of this World, God allows him a certain degree of latitude of action which most Christians do not fully appreciate. NON-believers of Christ are taken captive by the devil AT HIS WILL. 2 Timothy 2:26.
