This is nonsense. “I AM” is a complete sentence, having both a subject and a verb.Your I AM has no meaning. It is incomplete sentence.

Are you the personal spokesman for God? U sound like U are or at least U wanna beGod is eternal, he does not need a personal name in the sense that we as humans understand it. He was before time names were meaningless before creation, there was only God, he existed, he is and he will coninue to be.
That is why God said I AM when talking to Moses. Because He is the ultimate reality, that was, is and is yet to be, He is eternal, everliving and always was. A personal name in the human sense would be meaningless in describing Him. Saying to Moses to call him I AM, shows the true magnificent nature of God as the ultimate reality by which all things are made, and serves to show his everliving, timeless nature.
Allah, as a name, is a diminishment in my opinion, of God when describing Him to men. We call God, God because He is truly God. But that his not his name, its a description, as are the titles The Lord, Father etc. It isn’t his name. That is I AM, which is truly all that he needs to show us his true glory.
That is an unfair comment, my friend. He is describing God as how God is understood by him through the understanding of his religion. If you object to anyone speaking or talking about their understanding of the God that they worship, then we do not have any subject at all to talk about, including you.Are you the personal spokesman for God?

the reason I asked you this is because all of your posts had personal opinions… In a matter of discussions about God, quote verses from scriptures or excerpts from reliable sources… otherwise, it is not fair to offer just your personal view and expect others to respect your opinions especially when they are offensive…That is an unfair comment, my friend.

WE wish you well in your search for Truth. The catholics have tried their best to give you good lessons. I will also try to help. (The good advice will be at the end of my post)Originally Posted by SlaveofHim
Thank you for the warm welcome and answering my question. I have another question. I do find the trinity hard to grasp along with the idea of Jesus being the Son. I’ll try to read more about it though. Till then would it be alright to to simply leave these aspects and worship God since I understand Him and love Him?
There was this man who asked Jesus. Practically what you ask too. Read it I hope it will help you narrow your decisions.Hi,
I have a firm belief in God and know that He is there for me, but I’m having trouble with religions. The three I’m looking at is Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. So I came here to hear the Christian side, so could you help me out.
Marvelous advice dear Planten, but one thing again is a confusion about Holy Spirit. We have no name for the Holy Spirit, but muslims call the Holy Spirit Gabriel, or Angel Gabriel, as you yourself said, So it that the Holy Spirit or is that the Angel?WE wish you well in your search for Truth. The catholics have tried their best to give you good lessons. I will also try to help. (The good advice will be at the end of my post)
As a Muslim, I do not miss anything. I have The God, I have Jesus, I have the Holy Spirit , (But Jesus and Holy Spirit are not as Gods to me.) I have Abraham, Ishmael, Issac, Jacob, Joseph, (all children of Jacob too), Moses and all prophets under Moses mentioned in BibleOT. I have love for God and prayers in submission to the will of God. I have to be loving and Peaceful, (not to resort into any bombing or killing,) as prescribed in my Holy book, not to hurt any innocent person of any faith.
I believe in freedom of all religions. Take your choice.
The advice:
Pray to God in solitude. Weep and Cry. Call your God for help. Go down on your knees. Seek help from your God. I am sure if you continously try to seek help from Him, He will come to your help, He will reveal Himself to you. If you walk a few steps in truth in earnest towards Him, he will come running to you. Please try the prayers. Seek direct help from Him. Bless you.
mmmmmmmmmmm hard to believe this sentence, but you are right, God does not lie, but allah does lie, as he told mohammad that Jesus was never crucified. Which means God and Allah is not the same as many feel so.Subhanallah, God does not lie… it is something God cant do…
Well finally I accept that Moses never understood that part of Allah, as no where in the five books of Torah, is the word Allah used, does it mean, Moses was a wrong prophet chosen? Or the modern day Christians corruptd the entire bible, even the Torah used by the Jews? I am sure we have a big mistery at hand and we need Sherlock Holmes to solve it.The Quran tells about the words “I AM” from the Bush. It is Allah and He says “I AM
ALLAH”. This sentence is complete. Please see it, in chapter 20, verse14, below:
**[20:8] اللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَؕ لَـهُ الْاَسْمَآءُ الْحُسْنٰى
[20:8] Allah — there is no God but He. His are the most beautiful names.
[20:9] وَهَلْ اَتٰٮكَ حَدِيْثُ مُوْسٰٓىۘ
[20:9] And has the story of Moses come to thee?
۔
[20:10] اِذْ رَاٰ نَارًا فَقَالَ لِاَهْلِهِ امْكُثُوْۤا اِنِّىْۤ اٰنَسْتُ نَارًا لَّعَلِّىْۤ اٰتِيْكُمْ مِّنْهَا بِقَبَسٍ اَوْ اَجِدُ عَلَى النَّارِ هُدًى
[20:10] When he saw a fire, he said to his family, ‘Tarry ye, I perceive a fire; perhaps I may bring you a brand therefrom or find guidance at the fire.’
[20:11] فَلَمَّاۤ اَتٰٮهَا نُوْدِىَ يٰمُوْسٰىؕ
[20:11] And when he came to it, he was called by a voice, ‘O Moses,
!
[20:12] اِنِّىْۤ اَنَا رَبُّكَ فَاخْلَعْ نَـعْلَيْكَۚ اِنَّكَ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًىؕ
[20:12] ‘Verily, I am thy Lord. So take off thy shoes; for thou art in the sacred Valley of Tuwa.
[20:13] وَاَنَا اخْتَرْتُكَ فَاسْتَمِعْ لِمَا يُوْحٰى
[20:13] ‘And I have chosen thee; so hearken to what is revealed. ۔
[20:14] اِنَّنِىْۤ اَنَا اللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّاۤ اَنَا فَاعْبُدْنِىْ ۙ وَاَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ لِذِكْرِىْ
[20:14] ‘Verily,** I am Allah****; there is no God beside Me. So serve Me, and observe Prayer for My remembrance.
[20:15] اِنَّ السَّاعَةَ اٰتِيَـةٌ اَكَادُ اُخْفِيْهَا لِتُجْزٰى كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ بِمَا تَسْعٰى
[20:15] ‘Surely, the Hour is coming; I am going to manifest it, that every soul may be recompensed for its endeavour. (so that every soul may rightly be paid for its efforts.)
wwolverine, that was no mystery. You are trying to create confusion (mystery) for yourself. Allah is the personal name of God in Arabic. Moses did not speak Arabic. Moses would be addressed in his own language. May be God will be called YHWH in his language. I do not know.Well finally I accept that Moses never understood that part of Allah, as no where in the five books of Torah, is the word Allah used, does it mean, Moses was a wrong prophet chosen? Or the modern day Christians corruptd the entire bible, even the Torah used by the Jews? I am sure we have a big mistery at hand and we need Sherlock Holmes to solve it.or maybe Planten is more than enough

There is no need to build unnecessray questions. Moses did what was necessary in his time. May be he did not know the name of Jesus too. What do you say?? Did Moses ever utter ( refer to) the name of Jesus (Your great God)?? Moses was not jealous. Jesus was also not Jealous. Jesus also never addressed any one in Arabic. So what is the problem??Why would Moses an highly educated person do that, Was he already aware of Mohammad the final prophet’s arrival and he was already jealous? And hence omitted the word Allah? What about Jesus, Was He too Jealous? I bet planten has many more answers up his sleeves.
It is impossible to walk with Jesus if you don’t get off your knees. Forget picking a religion. Study them all. Study Christ. Study the nature of the creation to learn about the creator. Religion just wants your money and your mind. Ask yourself questions, and discover your own divinity. Deep inside, we are ALL son’s of the same God.Hi,
