EnfantdAlgerie, leave the debate to the Christians you say? From history till now, you obviously can see we CANNOT leave ANYTHING to religion. Meh. I'm done. It's just fucking stupid arguing with a person who can't see past his own nose.
Ignorant? haha goat....read the Bible and then open your mouth like you got something smart to say, but for now you's a fool with zero knowledge....closest thing to God? and you call me a " retard " lol......stick to music videos, leave the Bible debates to the Christians.....
The Romans (who also used Syrian mercenaries to do their dirty work) crucified in a variety of ways to extend the agony of the criminal executed. The Turin shroud evidence point to the wrists, but other archaelogical evidence suggests some variety. For stigmatics, the wounds are a mystical expression of God-The Almighty and the Compassionate One and is a minor sign compared to the revelation of sacred Truth. All who are faithful will accept the sign and believe.
Why are you all so seemingly unhappy? It ALL is WHAT IT IS. Padre was real, so why can't we just accept that and appreciate what gift we where all given. He helped Many. That my friends, is more then any of us can say for ourselfs.
I thought the evidence from historians is now that the Romans crucified people through the wrists not palms of hands. How and why then would stigmata appear on the palms of hands? Maybe the historians have got it wrong - but evidently someone has!
zinesilo188, you are ashamed to be a Catholic just because of this? What is the foundation of our faith then? and to say that saints are manmade, you're saying that he was a creation of ordinary human, not God?
zinesilo188,you don't have to like this or agree with this,but being virulent and accusing the Vatican of making a profit from this is speculation on your part.Before you make rash accusations,be sure you have correct information,or you will deeply offend many people.This "circus" is not being tricked into coming.They've been waiting for it because this "dead person" has made miracles in their lives,and mine too.They're paying their respects to him,and showing him their devotion. Be kinder.
The saints have understood that the reason and ground of our existence don't lie in ourselves but only in the mistery of love, the mistery of love that wanted our existence. Christianity is encounter with this Love...which in Jesus become man, an encounter you can fullfill also today through faith, in the Eucharist, where God gives himself to you. The saints understood this, and as a catholic you should be proud of this.
What kind of people need to go and see a MASK of a dead person TERRIBLE. What else will the VATICAN do to make money. Taking advantage of IGNORANT people. Disgusting!!
You are REALLY stupid can you not see people are giving donations, where does that money go?? To a MASK that was made in the U.K.Who gives permission for such a CIRCUS??? THE VATICAN.helloooooo. This makes me ashamed to be a cahtolic.
Looking at such a farse I am ashamed to be a Catholic. I feel you need to get a life , you sound like a 90 year old person.I dont need saints, they are man made. I dont need middle men, who want to benifit by making money by people's ignorance.
You need the example of saints because they are truly men and women. Not the models proposed today in the medias. The destiny of human life is to life in communion with God, only this is freedom. The saints more than other people have experienced the revolutionary aspect of faith, of this act of existential and changing trust in the Love of God. Look at the life of Francis or Don Bosco or also at the life of the numerous lay people. They all lived the subjection to God with vivid conscience.
you don't have to give money to anyone if you don't want to; anyway God won't take any finacial bribes don't you think??? and stop calling people stupid.
7654adnan,there are many more places where Jesus claims His Divinity and Sonship in God the Father("I and My Father are One and the Same")but I only used a few from the Gospels of St.Matthew and St.John.When Jesus says "I AM",the Jews understand that He is calling Himself the Living God,(God introduces Himself to Moses as "I Am Who Am")and try to stone Him for saying so.Jesus also shows us He is God when He changes Simon's name to Peter, an act God did when He changed Abram's name to Abraham.
John 8:58-59 "Amen,Amen I say to you,before Abraham came to be,I AM."Also John 8:24-30"..I AM" and John17:5;Matt16:13-20; St.Peter:"You are the Messiah,the Son of the Living God;Matt17:1-6 "This is My Beloved Son,in whom I am well pleased.Matt8:28-32(Demons:)"What have you to do with us,Son of God? "Matt26:63-65 "I order you to tell us under oath before the Living God whether you are the Messiah,the Son of God.Jesus said to him in reply "You have said so."
Exact: the claim of Jesus is also visible in hi single actions. He named 12 (!) apostels and entered in Jerusalem as the messianic King announced in the old testament. In Matth 5-7 he claimed to be the new Moses (BUT I say...) and so on. Therefore: the life, the acts and the words of Jesus are a revolutionary claim. Only for this reason he was nailed on the cross....there were many selfproclamed prophets at the time of Jesus, but only he was sentenced to death.
Now in theological terms: The incarnation is not God who enters in a human body, but a hypostatical union of the full human nature into the personhood of the son and therefore the full realisation of human nature of jesus.
why display saint pio? why ? a reconstructed face.. not right.. pio would not wish this.. he cured many people when alive including myself as a baby some 47years ago..i had weeks to live. i met him privaetly after returning from Cork,Republic of Ireland to recieve my first holy communion from him some years later.. i went to his cell. he hugged me.. please let him REST in peace now..
The fact that Padre Pio and many other Saints of the catholic and of the orthodox church don't decay after death (even afters centuries as Bernardette, Don Bosco, De Pauli, Savio....) is a sign of true hope for our faith. Omnes sancti, orate pro nobis.
naaz74,he was buried, but as he was a holy person while on earth,the Church will sometimes exhume the remains, even though it seems morbid. If the body is intact for the most part,it is considered miraculous, a work of the Holy Spirit. St. Bernadette of Soubirous (Lourdes) is an excellent example. There are many many Saints who are in an incorrupt state. Their incorruptible state is a reassurance to us of Christ's promise of the Resurrection for all who put their faith and trust in Him.
MATTHEW 11:2-11 Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have good news brought to them. And blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me."
With Saint Padre Pio these words are proved true again.
Thank you for the video.I understand why his body has been exhumed and displayed for veneration, even though some are offended.I am not offended. My faith is strengthened anew in the personal resurrection awaiting the faithful when I see St.Pio here, as though he is not dead, but sleeping. His mission to bring souls to Christ did not end with his death, but became even more wonderful,and here is he, still ministering to us. Praise and love be to Jesus and Mary, and God bless you St.Padre Pio!
I am sorry for my ignorance but why wasn't he buried for all that time !!!!! I don't see the point of putting him on display that is cheap !!! no offense to anyone it's just my opinion.
As many other saints, also Padre Pio remained almost intact after decades. There are saints, which have died centuries ago, but are till now intact (Vincenzo de Pauli, Franz Xavier, Bernardette, Orione, Don Bosco, Savio.......). It is interesting that they are all catholic or orthodox.
Padre Pio is one of the greatest Saints in history. He was not only a devot catholic, he had stigmata, he could belocate his body, he did miracles, he had apparicions and so on. For us, these are signs from heaven, which let us see and experience the presence of God in history.
ppl are fuckin ignorant they dont wanna believe anything cuz ppl act like they are God and dont fear him. instead of being humble and thanking God for what they have and know that everything they have can be takin away. "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed"
that is completely untrue. religious people wallow in blissful ignorance but that does not make them happier than me. i know plenty of religious people who live in a miserable rut in life and dont try to better themselves because they think "thats just the way things are"
Christianity is prevalent throughout africa yet these people live in hell and are not happy in general. Scandinavia is largely without religion but they are extremely happy people because of standard of living.
happiness is not a state but a choice. The Christian religion teaches that in the midsts of misery and suffering there could be happiness. I think you of most all people are more ignorant than the Christians themselves. The mere fact that you are throwing mud on other people does not make you happy. Psychologically you are lonely, bitter and a loser who wants to drag other people to your self destruction. I do pity you. LOL LOL LOL
what mud are you talking about? all i said was religion does not = happiness and gave a real world example. how is that mud?
what religion does is attempt to destroy the happiness of anyone that isnt a part of that religion. example: your own words painting me as depressed and lonely.
if you consider the ability to observe something from a perspective of logic as self destruction then gee you must be right.
with this: Air Quality is awful, Water quality is gross, Sanitation is bad, people spitting, animals--no shelters---tortured, Garbage laying on streets, and etc....
***When you're at a restuarant---think about the kungpao chicken u just ordered*** think about that poor bird--how it was killed--- water and where it came from. Does make you wonder twice about you what you put in your digestive system?
its not a fake, other saints bodies have mysteriously remained unsullied by death also. this is a phenomenon that cant b explained only that it is simply a miracle. the world is full of things we dont understand, simple as that
If you had listen to the first 20 seconds of the video you would have heard them say it was a mask on his face. I would love for you to send me links of pictures of these saints.
zerocool,i did listen to the first 20seconds,and it isnt just a mask,its too real,look at him closely.saint bernadette was another saint who is preserved perfectly,people visit her from all over the world,a smell of roses has been reported also which is another facinating sign of this miracle.saints spread the word of christ peacefuly and are nothing to fear.the world is ful of things that cant b explained,dosnt mean its threatening.these saints bring peace to people,thats a gud thing,obviously.
seconds and dispite what the people who care for the mummy say you do not believe them. WOW
I do not believe hearsay I want to see pictures this is modern times your telling me there are no pictures of him?
Maybe the saints do bring peace maybe they do not but one thing for sure is their religion does not bring peace to this world. It brings hate and wars. Sad you think the bible is the word of christ you dont know the history of your holy book
no one said to accept it mindlessly! by sincerity, it is meant that if you are atheist or of any other religion then don't read it with your background bias in it; be objective when reading it and see what the book says and test its claims!
im sorry, as you can tell, my view of religeon is biased by my observations. when was the last time an atheist started a war or blew up a building?
i also strongly object the comersialization of religeos believes and views, but i also think this is the basis of modern religeon... im a 18 year old engineering student, what can i do to change the world except to spew my atheistic believes at unsuspecting youtubers?
it is upon you, you deny Allah its your choice no one is forcing you. May Allah guide you, ameen. Those whom Allah guides none can misguide and those whom He leaves astray none can guide. You are of legal age so i think you can think for yourself. look we have something in common, you believe that there is no god and we also believe there is no god. but the difference is that we believe there is no god except Allah. inshaAllah, as a sincere Muslim i ask you to at least read the Qur'an once.
anyway, i always wanted to read it, i just never got round to it. although i think then i will be able to give informed ridicule, instead of just this lol
anyway, i accept your religeos believes, as long as you dont try to kill me for mine, btw, the reson i lost my faith, is because of a tax that i had to pay to be a christian, and because i think too analytically
Read the BIble, which is the Word of God. Mohammed was just a prophet and a big sinner while Jesus Christ never sinned and is God who became man to reveal to us how much He loves us and so that we know the True God through Him.
I have to be honest, I personally, though I am an Orthodox Christian, don't believe in saints and especially in mummifying people - he must be burried. But there is something overwhelmingly humbling in Padre Pio's carrying the wounds of Stigmata, the unexplained phenomenon of which always fascinated me.
it means that whatever is being done, this is all FALSE, Jesus (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) never taught or brought the msg of paganism!!!!! he brought the msg of the belief in ONE GOD, not three not two but ONE. none is worthy of worship except God Himself
asking the saints means these Christians are committing blasphemy by saying that the saints have the power equal to that of God. GOD FORBID!!!!
Hassan and Hussein were martyrs and the were the grandsons of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)that is it. Allah blessed them with martyrdom. but shi'ism is a POLITICAL movement. so there venerating the saints is SHIRK- the biggest sin in Islam, which is associating partners to Allah. that comes to be when someone besides Allah is being asked for anything that no one can fulfill- "so invoke not anyone along with Allah" (18)
shi'a are Muslim, i am a human being and can't judge someone's iman(inner-faith)only Allah has the Right to do that but venerating saints is not a Muslim practice and those who engage in it are indeed led astray. May Allah guide us all. ameen
Ok. I just wondered what your opinion was on that. I agree that since I am human, I can't judge someone's inner faith. Even though my religion has theological differences with Islam, I still believe we are all children of God (Allah), and only he has the power to judge. May peace be upon you.
"The Jews and Christians say: We are sons of Allah and His loved ones. Say: Why then doth He chastise you for your sins? Nay, ye are but mortals of His creating. He forgiveth whom He will, and chastiseth whom He will. Allah's is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, and unto Him is the journeying. (18)"[Qur'an 5:18]
i appreciate your comment but we are not the children of Allah but His creation whom He didn't create except to worship Him.
"(Both) the Jews and the Christians say: "We are sons of Allah, and His beloved." Say: "Why then doth He punish you for your sins? Nay ye are but men,― of the men He hath created: He forgiveth whom He pleaseth, and He punisheth whom He pleaseth: and to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between: and unto Him is the final goal (of all)." (18)[Qur'an 5:18]
I want only to answer the question you quoted from the Quran.
To be children of God in christian faith means to participate to the sonship of Christ. To be a son with christ means to become heir with Jesus. What is this heritage? Resurrection AFTER death. As Jesus has risen, so also those who loved him will. For this reason Jesus could say: I am the resurrection, who believes in me, I will arise him at the last day.
well Jesus was never the son of Allah and never did he ever say that he is the son of Allah. Jesus never died so he couldnt have ressurected. and you contradict your own Bible when you say that "For this reason Jesus could say: I am the resurrection, who believes in me, I will arise him at the last day." on inshaAllah(God Willing) talk to u in detail and be open minded and i promise i will not degrade ur religion by calling it names for Allah said to not curse the beliefs of others. but
i can prove to you all that i have said. and if you can find me ONE place in the bible where Jesus(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said that he is God or worship him then i will. but i want it in HIS words.
...Jesus told also that as the Son he is eternal as the Father and so he said "Before Abraham was I am". It is important that you understand why we profess Jesus as Lord, not because he is God in human body, but the historical manifestation of the Son. Jesus claimed to be much more than a prophet, he claimed to be the manifestation of God's kingdome, which was centre of his sermons and parables.
Jesus didn't say " I am God" or "I am a God" because this would be anti-monotheistic. Jesus revealed through his word and through his death and resurection (the death of Jesus is the historically most accountable fact of Jesus'life, it is reckoned also by the historical critical theologians) that God is Fahter, Son and holy Spirit. Jesus said that he is the Son and therefore Lord (He saud: "you call me lord and you do right so because I am").....
why would he not say it? if he is "God" incarnate in man form then WHY wouldn't he admit that he is God? doesn't he have the power if he is one with Allah? well if you are saying that it would have been "anti-monotheistic" for him to admit, are you saying that "GOD" FEARED his own creation and that is why hid the TRUTH. you are saying that God LIED? because if it isn't truth then it is a lie. and Allah is All Perfect and Above what others associate with Him. it just doesn't make sense.
I've seen that you wrote a lot af answers as comments. If they are adressed to me, it is maybe better that you write them also personally to me so that it is easer for me to mantain an oversight and in order to answer to you in a proper way.
I don't know if I explained it to you or to someone other. What I wanted to say is this: Jesus is not God in flesh but truly God because truly man: He lived in such a perfect way, he loved in such a perfect way, he lived the communion with the one God in such a perfection and he revealed himself in such a unity with god the father (he claimed to be more than a prophet)....
.... (2. Part) and first at all he revealed himself as the risen lord that the early church could say: he is not only a man, he is the historical manifestation of the relationship of love of the one God.
baal = allah, the false babylonian moon god. Jesus is God, the only one. P. Pio is his servant, brother, son. He is family. You can convert and become family too.
"And from among His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Do not bow down (prostrate) to the sun nor to the moon, but only bow down (prostrate) to "Allah" Who created them, if you (really) worship Him."
the word "Allah" has been used all along for the name of "God" in the Arabic Bible for Jews and Christians alike. The proof is easy to verify; simple go to any hotel or motel on the earth and look in the drawer next to the bed and take out the complimentary Bible, placed there by the Giddeons and then look on page 5 or 6 where they list the examples of translations they have made into other languages.
The second example given is for Arabic speakers. The verse is from the Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 16. Everyone knows this one; "For God so loved the world..." and the word in Arabic for "God" is "Allah." Then if you have a Bible in Arabic, look on page one in Genesis, and you will find the word "Allah" 17 times.
Next, the word for "God" to the Arabs, ever since the time of Abraham, peace be upon him, has been "Allah" and He is to them, the Lord of the Ka'bah (the black box in the center of the Holy Sanctuary in Makkah). He was the unseen God whom they would call upon when in distress. Yes, they worshipped the true God but their worship was not purely for Him. They also worshipped other gods thinking that they would act as intermediaries between them and the true God Allah.
The Arabs know of Allah because Abraham visited Makkah and together with his son Ishmael laid the foundation of the Ka'bah. The descendants of Ishmael retained some of the worship rites and beliefs from Abraham. This included their knowledge of the true God Allah. the true god, "El" of the Bible is the same as "Allah" of the Quran.
Allah Subhana wa'Tala says in His Speech: Say (O Muhammad SAW): "What thing is the most great in witness?" Say: "Allâh (the Most Great!) is Witness between me and you; this Qur'ân has been revealed to me that I may therewith warn you and whomsoever it may reach. Can you verily bear witness that besides Allâh there are other alihâh (gods)?" Say "I bear no (such) witness!" Say: "But in truth He (Allâh) is the only one Ilâh (God). And truly I am innocent of what you join in worship with Him." (19)
Those to whom We have given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognize him (i.e. Muhammad SAW as a Messenger of Allâh, and they also know that there is no Ilah (God) but Allâh and Islâm is Allâh's religion), as they recognize their own sons. Those who have lost (destroyed) themselves will not believe[]. (20)
And who does more wrong aggression and than he who invents a lie against Allâh or rejects His Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, or revelations)? Verily, the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers,) shall never be successful. (21)

As many other saints, also Padre Pio remained almost intact after decades. There are saints, which have died centuries ago, but are till now intact (Vincenzo de Pauli, Franz Xavier, Bernardette, Orione, Don Bosco, Savio.......). It is interesting that they are all catholic or orthodox.

Padre Pio is one of the greatest Saints in history. He was not only a devot catholic, he had stigmata, he could belocate his body, he did miracles, he had apparicions and so on. For us, these are signs from heaven, which let us see and experience the presence of God in history.

So what did he do to benefit the world?
If the answer is not much, then how was he a good saint?

that is completely untrue. religious people wallow in blissful ignorance but that does not make them happier than me. i know plenty of religious people who live in a miserable rut in life and dont try to better themselves because they think "thats just the way things are"
Christianity is prevalent throughout africa yet these people live in hell and are not happy in general. Scandinavia is largely without religion but they are extremely happy people because of standard of living.
ambientdiscord 3 years ago
happiness is not a state but a choice. The Christian religion teaches that in the midsts of misery and suffering there could be happiness. I think you of most all people are more ignorant than the Christians themselves. The mere fact that you are throwing mud on other people does not make you happy. Psychologically you are lonely, bitter and a loser who wants to drag other people to your self destruction. I do pity you. LOL LOL LOL

what mud are you talking about? all i said was religion does not = happiness and gave a real world example. how is that mud?
what religion does is attempt to destroy the happiness of anyone that isnt a part of that religion. example: your own words painting me as depressed and lonely.
if you consider the ability to observe something from a perspective of logic as self destruction then gee you must be right.

no one said to accept it mindlessly! by sincerity, it is meant that if you are atheist or of any other religion then don't read it with your background bias in it; be objective when reading it and see what the book says and test its claims!

im sorry, as you can tell, my view of religeon is biased by my observations. when was the last time an atheist started a war or blew up a building?
i also strongly object the comersialization of religeos believes and views, but i also think this is the basis of modern religeon... im a 18 year old engineering student, what can i do to change the world except to spew my atheistic believes at unsuspecting youtubers?

Read the BIble, which is the Word of God. Mohammed was just a prophet and a big sinner while Jesus Christ never sinned and is God who became man to reveal to us how much He loves us and so that we know the True God through Him.

I have to be honest, I personally, though I am an Orthodox Christian, don't believe in saints and especially in mummifying people - he must be burried. But there is something overwhelmingly humbling in Padre Pio's carrying the wounds of Stigmata, the unexplained phenomenon of which always fascinated me.

So do you regard the Shiite practices or glorifying saints (such as Hussein) as heresy as well?

zazu27604 3 years ago
Hassan and Hussein were martyrs and the were the grandsons of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)that is it. Allah blessed them with martyrdom. but shi'ism is a POLITICAL movement. so there venerating the saints is SHIRK- the biggest sin in Islam, which is associating partners to Allah. that comes to be when someone besides Allah is being asked for anything that no one can fulfill- "so invoke not anyone along with Allah" (18)
7654adnan 3 years ago
shi'a are Muslim, i am a human being and can't judge someone's iman(inner-faith)only Allah has the Right to do that but venerating saints is not a Muslim practice and those who engage in it are indeed led astray. May Allah guide us all. ameen
7654adnan 3 years ago
Ok. I just wondered what your opinion was on that. I agree that since I am human, I can't judge someone's inner faith. Even though my religion has theological differences with Islam, I still believe we are all children of God (Allah), and only he has the power to judge. May peace be upon you.

"The Jews and Christians say: We are sons of Allah and His loved ones. Say: Why then doth He chastise you for your sins? Nay, ye are but mortals of His creating. He forgiveth whom He will, and chastiseth whom He will. Allah's is the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, and unto Him is the journeying. (18)"[Qur'an 5:18]

7654adnan 3 years ago
I want only to answer the question you quoted from the Quran.
To be children of God in christian faith means to participate to the sonship of Christ. To be a son with christ means to become heir with Jesus. What is this heritage? Resurrection AFTER death. As Jesus has risen, so also those who loved him will. For this reason Jesus could say: I am the resurrection, who believes in me, I will arise him at the last day.
TRINITYisLOVE 3 years ago
well Jesus was never the son of Allah and never did he ever say that he is the son of Allah. Jesus never died so he couldnt have ressurected. and you contradict your own Bible when you say that "For this reason Jesus could say: I am the resurrection, who believes in me, I will arise him at the last day." on inshaAllah(God Willing) talk to u in detail and be open minded and i promise i will not degrade ur religion by calling it names for Allah said to not curse the beliefs of others. but

i can prove to you all that i have said. and if you can find me ONE place in the bible where Jesus(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said that he is God or worship him then i will. but i want it in HIS words.
7654adnan 3 years ago
...Jesus told also that as the Son he is eternal as the Father and so he said "Before Abraham was I am". It is important that you understand why we profess Jesus as Lord, not because he is God in human body, but the historical manifestation of the Son. Jesus claimed to be much more than a prophet, he claimed to be the manifestation of God's kingdome, which was centre of his sermons and parables.
TRINITYisLOVE 3 years ago
Hello,
Jesus didn't say " I am God" or "I am a God" because this would be anti-monotheistic. Jesus revealed through his word and through his death and resurection (the death of Jesus is the historically most accountable fact of Jesus'life, it is reckoned also by the historical critical theologians) that God is Fahter, Son and holy Spirit. Jesus said that he is the Son and therefore Lord (He saud: "you call me lord and you do right so because I am").....
TRINITYisLOVE 3 years ago
why would he not say it? if he is "God" incarnate in man form then WHY wouldn't he admit that he is God? doesn't he have the power if he is one with Allah? well if you are saying that it would have been "anti-monotheistic" for him to admit, are you saying that "GOD" FEARED his own creation and that is why hid the TRUTH. you are saying that God LIED? because if it isn't truth then it is a lie. and Allah is All Perfect and Above what others associate with Him. it just doesn't make sense.

Hello,
I don't know if I explained it to you or to someone other. What I wanted to say is this: Jesus is not God in flesh but truly God because truly man: He lived in such a perfect way, he loved in such a perfect way, he lived the communion with the one God in such a perfection and he revealed himself in such a unity with god the father (he claimed to be more than a prophet)....

Quran proves - "Allah" is NOT a 'moon god':
"And from among His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Do not bow down (prostrate) to the sun nor to the moon, but only bow down (prostrate) to "Allah" Who created them, if you (really) worship Him."
[Holy Quran 41:37]
7654adnan 3 years ago
the word "Allah" has been used all along for the name of "God" in the Arabic Bible for Jews and Christians alike. The proof is easy to verify; simple go to any hotel or motel on the earth and look in the drawer next to the bed and take out the complimentary Bible, placed there by the Giddeons and then look on page 5 or 6 where they list the examples of translations they have made into other languages.
7654adnan 3 years ago
The second example given is for Arabic speakers. The verse is from the Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 16. Everyone knows this one; "For God so loved the world..." and the word in Arabic for "God" is "Allah." Then if you have a Bible in Arabic, look on page one in Genesis, and you will find the word "Allah" 17 times.
7654adnan 3 years ago
Next, the word for "God" to the Arabs, ever since the time of Abraham, peace be upon him, has been "Allah" and He is to them, the Lord of the Ka'bah (the black box in the center of the Holy Sanctuary in Makkah). He was the unseen God whom they would call upon when in distress. Yes, they worshipped the true God but their worship was not purely for Him. They also worshipped other gods thinking that they would act as intermediaries between them and the true God Allah.
7654adnan 3 years ago
The Arabs know of Allah because Abraham visited Makkah and together with his son Ishmael laid the foundation of the Ka'bah. The descendants of Ishmael retained some of the worship rites and beliefs from Abraham. This included their knowledge of the true God Allah. the true god, "El" of the Bible is the same as "Allah" of the Quran.

Can you verily bear witness that besides Allâh there are other alihâh (gods)?" Say "I bear no (such) witness!" Say: "But in truth He (Allâh) is the only one Ilâh (God). And truly I am innocent of what you join in worship with Him." (19)

Those to whom We have given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognize him (i.e. Muhammad SAW as a Messenger of Allâh, and they also know that there is no Ilah (God) but Allâh and Islâm is Allâh's religion), as they recognize their own sons. Those who have lost (destroyed) themselves will not believe[]. (20)
