Allah and Elohim - Are
they the Same Go? - Part 18 Exodus 20:16, "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor." This is one of the commandments out of Ten Commandments which God gave to Moses that is, 'you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.' And we read in Proverbs 6:19, "A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren." And also in Proverbs 12:17, "He who speaks truth declares righteousness, But a false witness, deceit." From Genesis to Revelation the Bible tells us that we humans are sinners and that we need forgiveness of our sins or salvation of our souls. God gave Moses the Laws and when the Israelites used to sacrifice lamb or bull on the altar and when they repented from their sins, God forgave their sins as we read in Psalms 32:5, "I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD," And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah" and also in Psalms 78:38, "But He, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, And did not destroy them. Yes, many a time He turned His anger away, And did not stir up all His wrath;" Also we read in New Testament that Jesus came to fulfill the Law. He says in Matthew 5:17, "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill." Yes, Jesus came to fulfill the Law and He did exactly that, by offering Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the whole humanity. He came to this world as the Lamb of God and shed His precious blood on the cruel cross and gave Himself for us. Whole Bible tells us that no man/woman is pure or holy except Jesus who was God Himself. Every man has sinned and there is a consequence for sin. If our sins are not forgiven before we leave this world, then we have to face hell fire. That's the only option left for those who never turn to God. But if we want to escape death our sins must be forgiven. But Quran rejects the great work of salvation on the cross and also salvation through blood sacrifice. Muslims believe that they are pure because they are born in a Muslim family. Many a times Muslims say that they do not believe in original sin but they are pure because Allah has programmed in them to be pure and do pure things. But is it reality? I asked them if it is true then why Muslims sin or why they are not living a perfect and pure life? And if Allah programmed in a person to live in purity then he/she should actually be a pure person otherwise there is some problem in Allah's programming. But God did not make us like a robot. He gave us free will so that we may choose ourselves good or evil. He gave us choice and that is the reason why Moses said in Deuteronomy 30:19 to choose life as we read here, "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;" To choose life and blessings we need to repent from our sins and turn to God who can give us life with purity and blessings. But by saying that Jesus never died on the cross or by saying that there is no need of blood sacrifice, Mohammed rejected the great plan of Salvation of Yahweh which was possible only through the Blood of Jesus. And by saying this, he bore a false witness and broke one of the commandments of the God of the Bible. Not only that, by saying this Mohammed deceived many and by saying this he blasphemed God. So obviously Allah is not the same God of the Bible who made a WAY for the SALVATION of mankind. |
