What if God just let them have a baby no strings attached. You assume he meant to masquerade as Allah but perhaps he simply... let them have a baby.

@seanfenrir

God is supposed to be a pretty smart guy. You'd think he would've recognized that his "no strings attached" baby would have been seen as a prayer answered by a different God.

He would've also recognized that this would re-enforce their belief in the false God -- making them even less-likely to convert to the "true" religion later.

(Would you convert away from a God who had granted you a miracle baby?)

[seanfenrir]

@azsuperman01 Tough question. Especially since I never put myself in the position of a person looking to another God for a baby. I don't think I'd ask JEHOVAH for one so it's hard for me to think about this concept. I think God does know that those people will believe in the different God more however God loves the idea of us multiplying. That means he's willing to give them a baby even though they don't know it was from him.

@seanfenrir

He loves the idea of us multiplying more than he loves showing people the path to the truth?

@xquse18 Good to hear from you after a long time. where were you ? Do you want to continue where you left? I asked you so many times ,what does the word God means? Well you said heaven is only for the people who believe in Jesus ,then what if that person commits crimes like murders ,then what? hell is the only place for him.

[SummerSunshine1988]

People are free to believe in whatever god they choose, whether they believe in the true God (Jesus Christ) or not. If it's a question of conversion, that's why we have missionaries, to tell of God's word.

I remember one more thing that i have heard or seen ,i dont exactly remember but I think there is a word ILLAH in bible in hebrew. please search for it.

@humanistheart please reply to my Question of God. If you dont have an answer then it,s o.k but what do you think about this man posting stupid videos showing how dum he is? He is just asking questions that are so easy to answer and if he really does,nt know what he is asking then he really needs help ,because i can see satan sitting in his eyes .Do you?

[xquse18]

@humanistheart Please reply me ,I am waiting for your reply , i am really anxious to know the meaning of the word,...[ GOD ] and also to know if the same word GOD is in the Bible? AS ALLAH is the word used as it is in Quran. I was enjoying this conversation with you so lets just not stop here ,may be we come to some useful and knowledgeable conclusions. please reply.

[xquse18]

@humanistheart please reply ,what is the meaning of God, Is this word ,[ God ] ,in the BIBLE?

[xquse18]

@humanistheart Can you please tell me what is the meaning of the word GOD? Is the word GOD in the bible? I know that the word GOD is not in the Quran but is the word GOD in the bible? what does the word god means?

[humanistheart]

@xquse18 Given that the alphabet that you're using now is not what was used in the quaran, no, the word god is not in the quaran, it's a translation.

[xquse18]

@humanistheart What does the word God mean? This word [ GOD } is not in the Bible then where it came from? Allah is the word that is in the quran. When the word is derieved exactly as it is from a book ,it has signaficance.

[humanistheart]

@xquse18 Does allah mean 'the god' or not? If so, it's not really a name.
