The Reality of ISIS

Thank you for gracing me with this argument BryanMuslim,To be precice you are misleading the readers by stating The Reality of ISIS. Not a excelent title for this debate, however I will argue with what I have been given. Let's call this the "Allah Misconceptions" argument...for clarity. Without further ado, I shall present.To be precice, one has to know both sides of the argument. I cannot doubt that these religions are similar, as they are branched off of each other, however, you cannot say that they are the same. Yes, you have both the Trinity and Divine incarnation explained well and there is only One True God. Judeo-Christians (christians who read the jewish scriptures and the New Testament) believe several things that make our Gods different. (using big G as to not offend you) Among these are titles of the Lord, what the Holy Texts say about what you have to do to enter Heaven, and the confusion of "saints" and other misconceptions. Yes, Allah, or God in terms of language are the same NAME, but not the same person. Allah is the deciever of unbelievers of the Qur'an (3:54, 7:99, 8:30 using the root word makr) Unbelievers are assumed to be someone who does not believe in the Islamic Allah. The flag of Islam has a morning star, or fallen star. The demon from the Bible is the fallen star. Another reason they are different is that the Judeo-Christian God trinity, 3 forms in one God, calls Himself (The Bible's God) Lord, Prince of princes, Lord of Lords, The almighty one, The One True God, etc. It explicitly states that God did not decieve and what he says is true. The Bible calls Jesus the King of Kings, which is translated into the word Malik Al-Amlak. In the Quran, Malik Al-Amlak is the worst name in Allah's sight. (from Bukhari 8:73:224)In the religions the mortal enemy is the other religion's God. If one religion's God says that the God of another religion, and the followers of that said religion are the worst enemies to the former, what does that mean about the God/Gods in question? If two Gods are pronounced mortal enemies they are not the same God. The only question is who is the real God and who is decieving who?What does the Bible say about entering heaven? A common misconception is that you have to "be good." This is impossible, so Jesus died so those who believe that Jesus is Lord may enter heaven. That's it, all you have to do is make Jesus (The Bible's God)the most valuable prize in your heart and not turn away from him; if you do turn away from God you will be sent to eternal hell. This means that you can't commit crime in His name, mislead, or not believe. In the Qur'an anyone who believes in the Islamic, Judaeic, or Christian scriptures (without Christ as Lord) will go to heaven. Similar, yet different. In the story of Abraham, the Bible says that Abraham sent his illigetimate son named Ishmael and his slave into the desert, while keeping his second son Isaac. The Quran states that Ishmael was sent to the ruins of Ka'aba, not the desert. Different storylines does not mean the same story. I am a Christian who does not believe in the worshipping of "saints." I whole-heartedly agree that it is wrong to worship them, but I'm not Catholic, so I do not know what applies to them as "creature-worshipping." (Different donominations believe different things, although all believe in Jesus as God.) Moving on to translation of text, which some claim to be false, there are several ways to translate Old Hebrew and Greek into English, so obviously pronounciation is going to be off. This is similar to other works like the Qur'an, or The Art of War where scholars were converting to English and had to choose between similar words. This happens in every great work. Yes, the Bible is going to be a little distorted, but the scholars who translated took care in choosing effective words so that the message is the same and does not have a large difference. Out of all misconceptions there are few which have actual effect on The Book.Our Gods are not the same, and do not have the same message. Only one is true, and so the Gods are different. One is Real the other is a Liar. Out of this can you not see that?
