Some Christians say Allah is a fake ofshoot of God/Jehovah.So is Jehovah a fake ofshoot of YHWH/Yahweh?

Question

I'm not muslim but I respect them and their religion. I also disprove of christians/jews making fun of muslims.Just like I disprove of christians being made fun of.

Answer 1

They're all the same. Just with different names and such. But they all came from the same source (i.e., the god of Abraham), and therefore they're all the same person, or God, or diety, or Allah, or Jehovah, or whatever you want to call them.

Answer 2

Jehovah is Yahweh. The Torah is only written in consonants not in vowels therefore YHWH. So you can think up the vowels written in between them. I guess having a j as a y and w as a v doesn't make that much of a difference.

Answer 3

It is true that the Almighty did not say, "Listen, thousands of years from now when a new language called English comes along, they can pronounce my name as 'Jehovah' and that's fine."

Instead, like with any and every personal name, different languages TRANSLATE personal names to fit their lingual tendencies. George becomes "Hor-hey" in Spanish or "Gay-org" in German and no one gets upset.

The Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) does seem to accurately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.

The important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”. If you speak English, feel free to use the name "Jehovah".

(Psalms 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth

(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them

Answer 5

I agree. We shouldn't make fun of anyone. We just need to warn people of the realities of hell and judgment.

What God did...
Think of it this way... Imagine you're in a courtroom, you're guilty of many serious crimes. The judge says, "It's a fine of $500,000, or prison." You don't have anywhere near that amount of money, so the bailiff begins to walk you out of the courtroom when someone you don't even know appears. He runs up to the judge with a check and says, "I've paid the fine for you." Now that the fine has been paid, the law no longer has any hold on you. You're free -- because of the gift you were given.
This is what God did for you by sending Jesus to die on the cross in your place. So that you wouldn't have to go to Hell, God sent his only Son, Jesus, to die on the cross -- suffering the punishment that justice demands. Then He rose from the grave, forever defeating death! The Bible tells us, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) If you will repent of your sins and put your trust in Jesus, God says he will forgive all your sins and grant you the gift of everlasting life. Just like the court case we just talked about, if you repent (that means to confess and forsake your sins) and put your trust in Jesus, then you will not have to suffer God's justice in Hell because the payment for your crimes was made by Jesus on the cross.
If you're not sure what to pray, read Psalm 51, and make it a model for your prayer. The words are not "magical," what God cares about is the attitude of your heart. When you pray, it should sound something like this, "Dear God, I repent of all my sins, such as (name them). I put my trust in Jesus Christ as Lord (to say Jesus is your Lord means you are now making Jesus the master over your life) and Savior. Forgive me and grant me your gift of everlasting life. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."
Now read your Bible daily, and obey what you read. God will never let you down.
What should you read? We suggest that you start in the book named "John," and then read the one named "Romans." Whatever you decide to read, make sure you read every day.

Answer 6

Yaweh and Jehova are the same and Allah is simply Arabic for God and your question makes no sense.

Answer 7

because we do not keep on with what has instruct to be classic and widely used "Christianity". authentic Christianity hasn't ever been widely used or observed traditions over what the Bible says, nor will it ever until eventually this is the most suitable one status. There can and could be in basic terms one!

Answer 8

jehovah arose from a mistranslation of the words yhwh/adonai.

regardless of the name, it still refers to the same God.

Answer 9

I am afraid there are people having different believes making fun of others (diffferent religion, different language, different color of skin).
It is not kind for anybody.
Allah represents uniquness..
