    The crazy old coot Abraham didn't do Jack crap to start any religion except to fork over 10% of his ill-gotten gains to lazy priests and sell his soul for personal gain and fame by gutting and roasting his son. A cockroach has better morals than that scum.

    That is your belief. Besides, I'm not saying they're the same, I'm saying the word used to label them is the same.

    No, that's the belief of Christians and Jews that know their Bible. The people who believe that Allah and Yahweh are the same God are muslims and humanists that don't know the Old Testament.

    Mohammed had lice. All of the biblical characters should have had lice, especially guys like John the Baptist.

    Exodus 8:14 (CJB) = The magicians tried with their secret arts to produce lice, but they couldn’t. There were lice on people and animals.

    And it's a belief. You can't prove one way or the other.

    The proof is the Scriptures.

    Proof for you, mythology for me. Nothing but the threads that holds cultures together.

    Yahweh said to Moses, "Tell Aaron,'Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.'" Exodus 8:17

    When God revealed Himself to Moses in preparation for bringing His people out of Egypt, He called Himself “the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” in Exodus 3:15.

    Perhaps you should post in the mythology forum.

    Exodus 3:14-16 14God said to Moses, "I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I am has sent me to you.'" 15God also said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers-the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob-has sent me to you.' "This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation. 16"Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to them, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers-the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob-appeared to me and said: I have watched over you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt.

    Many women all over the world wear long clothing. Not always for religious reasons. Often it's for climatic reasons where appropriate loose clothing is cooler, and for cultural reasons where shorts skirts would not be appropriate - mountainous country, scrublands etc.

    True, but as far as Christian women, I think it's just that the Christian faith has lost much of it's authority. The abuses of authority and the enlightenment in non-Christian ways has allowed for people to interpret and adapt the religion over time.

    Allah was used by Arabic Christians long before Muslims were around. Allah/Al-ilah.
    Biblical writers used El from the Canaanites... Elohim
    Latin deus...deism
    pre-Christian/germanic.... God
    There was bound to be overlapping and borrowing of language and traditions.

    The nature of the Muslim God is very different from the Christian God. There's no denying that.

    The Israelites began as Canaanite nomads so one would expect them to use and adapt the Canaanite pantheon. Even the Psalms were borrowed from the North coast Canaanites.

    Have you read the Book of Revelations? It takes OT Scriptures and Images - and adds Christian doctrine (Jesus) It uses the same OT references as the Essene Book of Revelation. This, however, adds its own doctrine (Mother Earth). Whoever wrote the Biblical Revelation simply copied the idea from the earlier Essene Revelation. I suspect they both had the same intention. To vilify Rome. .The Jews were in the habit of making their point in stories and parables. The Preacher Jesus used parables from the OT because - as he told his Jewish disc[ples - ypu know what I am talking about, The Gentiles don't understand,

    Israel - the northern kingdom - worshipped El at Shiloh. Judah - the southern kingdom .- worshipped Yahweh in Jerusalem. At the fall of the Northern Kingdom Judah took all the attributes accorded to the earlier Ugarit pantheon (El, and his sons which included Jahweh) And attributed these things to Jahweh. Jesus was simply a Jewish preacher who had had been indoctrinated with Judaism from the age of 5. He had no reason not to believe. Our knowledge today teaches us otherwise - if only we would listen to it.
    Jews are leaving their faith because they understand that Pentateuchand its characters are simply a story. Christians are leaving their faith because we know that much of the Bible is simply man's writings. Islam prospers because it is told not to question. If anyone does question they have to beware of the consequences. How could Mohammed have spoken to the mythical Patriarchs if they didn't exist. Muslim kills Muslim over some ridiculous idea. Muslim kills 'infidels' in obedience mythical angels talking to a man.
    Christians are better than other Christians because they think the Bible tells them so due to their interpretation of a scripture.
    Paul has a vision, the mythical patriarchs had visions, prophets had visions, Mohammed had 'visions', Modern sects are built on visions. Of course, these were only seen by the individuals.

    I suggest that any possible 'god/creator' is currently sunning himself on some unknown 'beach' on a planet' at edge of the Universe, wondering where he went wrong.

    Too many Christians like Migrunt don't know the Israelites borrowed heavily from the Canaanite pantheon nor do they know that Revelation was a rewrite of Essene apocalyptic literature.
