God in Christianity can be Jehova, Jesus, Emmanuel, Holy Spirit, Holy Father, I am,  There are a lot more of the names of God.  They keep saying that Allah only means the word god, how do you distinguish between one god and another.  Is Allah the god of every religion in the world??  Who is Allah.

I agree with all the muslims above me who said & explained clearly the other 99 names of Allah\nBUT I would like to add that the word "Allah" is different from the word "god", simply because Allah has no gender or plural unlike god which can have things like goddes or stuff like this that`s why we use the word Allah\n\nIn fact "Allah" is the perfect word to describe the "One God" of monotheism.

There is not an easy answer to this question.  As I understand it Arabic is is a relatively new language and Allah is  the term for God.  The ancient generic term for God  was El  and I would suspect that Allah is derived from El rather than Jah.  I believe that Yahweh is an exclusive Hebrew term.  (Jehovah is an English attempt at transliteration and Yahweh is a more refined attempt)\n\nYahweh was not used in common speech, and even in religious declarations was substituted by Adonai, hence the Biblical translation LORD.  Yahweh is the thrice holy God (implying that you can not get anything more holy) Even references to God that are direct are given remoteness so it is the voice of God that walked in the garden and the angel that spoke out of the bush to Moses.\n\nMoses was told that  the  forefather's were unaware of the holy  name, however, the text reckons that they were which could mean that the ancient oral traditions were revised as the scriptures were being compiled.\n\nEl, i understand, was actually a pagan deity but the term meant God rather I suppose in the same way as biro  means a ball point pen and hoover a vacuum cleaner.\n\nThe main problem is that we do not have a concept of a God with a personal name and are rather sketchy on holiness.  The best that we have been able to do is to give God a capital letter.\n\nThe Lord Jesus gave us the idea of a God that was personal to us, Hallowed Father.  The apostle develops it and declares we cry Abba, this is common in many languages, ba ba  Chinese, papa, English and other European languages.\n\nThere is only one recorded instance where the Lord did not address God as Father and that was on the cross where he used Eloi .  You see the name of God is holy, and he would not have uttered it in such a place of death and cursing, not until his work was complete and sin was paid for, then he presented his offering and said "Father into your hands I commit my spirit"\n\nJesus is the latinised form of Joshua or if you prefer  Yeshua which means Yah saves ( should it be Yahshua?) \n\nYahweh as well as holiness also carries with it a concept of salvation, of deliverance, of preservance.\n\nBoth Allah and  Yahweh carry the idea of hope and promise.  There can only be one God who is the one God and both names carry this concept.  In view of this reasoning both must be the same,  however, I don't think their theologies quite agree.  In the bible which has been corrupted according the the proponets of the Quran  Isaiah declares \n"As the rain and snow come down from the heavens\nand do not return without watering the earth,\nmaking it produce grain\ngiving seed for sowing and bread to eat,\nso it is with my words issuing from my mouth;\nit will not return to me empty\nwithout accomplishing my purpose\n and succeeding in the task for which I sent it"\n\nTo my mind that does not give much room for corruption nor for the new to usurp the old.\n\nThere again the Quran states something like has God acquired a son? And there are lots of curses on those who say so and then the idea of a whole pantheon is introduced of aunts and uncles and cousins and whatever and riduculed  for God is one and uniquily one.\n\nYet the psalmist declares 'You are my son.' he said to me\n'this day I became your father....'\n\nTherefore I would suggest that God is used unless out of deference Allah or another term is used whenever refering about God, and it is not necessary to use Yahweh or Jehovah.  \n\nWhen you are addressing God, and callling on his name, to seek his presence to make  petition then a tem of reverence is required

Well, except that the Egyptian religion is much closer to Hinduism in that beyond the "Trinity" there is a Brahman or higher aspect from which these three are all actually one whereas the Christian Trinity states clearly that there is one God in three Persons. Hinduism and Egyptian religion share this higher concept and reject the idea that the names of the Gods in the Trinity are individual Persons..individual Gods. They are merely reflections of the higher Divine. \n\nI apologize that the name of the higher Egyptian Brahman type eludes me. Let me explain it from Hinduism (since I know the names). I have friends that actually practice the Egyptian religion and have studied it (and I've studied a great deal myself..including reading hieroglyphs).\n\nIn Hinduism there is one God. This one God is called Brahman. It can be thought of as both Nirguna Brahman (without form, name, and attribute) and as Saguna Brahman (with form, name and attribute). Everything in the universe is manifested from Brahman. Brahman is infinite...limitless...without any limits. Brahman is beyond form, name, and attributes and yet it also become form, name, and attributes when it manifested the universe. The problem of course is that it is very difficult to worship the infinite unknown without form, name, and attribute (the word Brahman literally just means "supreme" or "highest"). Hinduism then has the Trimurti or Trinity. Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Brahma represents Creation, Vishnue represents Preservation, and Shive represents Dissolution. But Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva are NOT seperate from Brahman. They are Brahman! When Hindus worship whatever name and/or form, they are actually worshipping Brahman. The Egyptian religion is the same.\n\nSo................\n\nWhen worshipping the Christian Trinity there is God the Father, Jesus the son, and the Holy Spirit who are all individually unique and to be worshipped....yet all three are God...they are all said to be God. One God in Three Persons. When worshipping Jesus, Jesus is the bridge to God. If you worshipped the Holy Spirit, you are still worshipping God. If you just worship God the Father, you are still just worshiping God. \n\nThere really isn't much of a difference. It often appears on the outside that CHristians seem to be worshipping three Gods, but through theological teachings you realized that there is God who has resided in Heaven (the Father), this God manifests in human form as Jesus, and also interacts with people now through the Holy Spirit. While each are individually identifiable because of their qualities (forms), they are all actually God. Hindus and Egyptians would agree. Hindus go so far as to have avatars or incarnations of God all the time (even today) that they worship and Egyptians often did, too...this was their pharoah.

Jesus is God. Christians who say otherwise either do not know the fundamentals of the faith, are apostate, or are heretics. The Apostle's and Nicene Creeds both affirm this doctrine, and the biblical evidence is overwhelming.\n\nJesus said of Himself that He was God. He applied the name of God, "I AM," to Himself in several passages. Here's a few examples: Matthew 14:27, Mark 6:50, Mark 13:6, Luke 21:8, John 4:26, John 6:20, John 8:24, 28, 58, and John 13:19. (Some English translations have mistranslated the words "I am" to "It is I," or "I am He.")\n\nJesus received worship, which is reserved only for God:\n\n"Then the men in the boat began to worship Jesus, saying, "You certainly are the Son of God!" (Matthew 14:33)\n\n"Suddenly Jesus met them and said, "Greetings!" They went up to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him." (Matthew 28:9)\n\n"They worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy." (Luke 24:52)\n\n"He said, "Lord, I do believe," and worshiped him." (John 9:38)\n\nFurther, the god of Muhammad is not the Father of Jesus. The Qur'an states rather clearly, "Proclaim: Allah is One. Allah is Eternal. He neither begets nor was begotten." (Surah 112:1-4)\n\nIn Christianity, we believe that Jesus was begotten. (John 1:14) And we believe Jesus to be God.\n\nNow, we have a conundrum. Either Islam is right, and Jesus is not God, nor begotten; or Christianity is right, and Jesus is God, and is begotten. We can't have it both ways. Islam will never hold to a belief that Jesus is God. And Christians will not accept that Jesus is not God, and is not begotten. Therefore, they do not worship the same God.\n\nOther "gods" fall short as well.  There is no other true god than the One of the Holy Bible found in the Old and New Testaments.

Almighty God is not a polytheistic triad of gods, but a single person.\n\n(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah\n\n(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called “gods,” whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and many “lords,” there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him

This is a difficult question, and I'm not sure I can answer it all satisfactorily, but I think I can help.  \n\nWith the first part, 'no other gods,' Christians don't believe that Jesus is another god, but rather the same one.  Two different facets of the same God (with the Holy Spirit being the third).  What's more, you know that in Genesis, God speaks in the plural 'let's go do this.'  Also, the Hebrew word for God - elohim - is also plural.\n\nSecond, it is true that Jesus never called himself 'God the Son.'  The way he speaks of himself as 'the son of God,' however, is unique.  He says, "All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him" (Luke 10:22).  Also, he is called by the Greek word for "one and only son", "mono-genes", means literally, "one in kind, unique."  This seems to contradict the view that we are all sons and daughters of God on the same level as Jesus.  Finally, in John 15:15, Jesus says "I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father."  God is the only person to whom we (humanity in general) could ever reasonably be called slaves.  How could we have been 'slaves' to Christ is he weren't also God?\n\nOne more word on the Trinity: God sent "his spirit" down onto "his son."  Additionally, in Matthew 28:18-20 it's said, "Then Jesus approached and said to them, 'All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.  And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.'"\n\nIn the early Church, the Jews celebrated the Sabbath on Saturday, and then Christ's resurrection on Sunday.  The gentiles who entered the Church, however, didn't celebrate the Sabbath, but only the resurrection.  Eventually, the Church accumulated more gentiles, and observation of the Sabbath was fell out, leaving only the celebration of Christ's resurrection.\n\nIn a sense, Paul is claiming to speak for Jesus, but this is warrented.  He is relaying Christ's message, or the spirit of it, to us.  First, recall that although Jesus appeared a second time for Thomas, on that occasion he said "But blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe."  Now if they have not seen, how can they believe?  How can they even know about the resurrection?  Obviously, someone has to tell them, someone has to speak for Christ.  Someone like Paul, or any of the apostles.  What is more, that is the mission Jesus gave them.  He sent them out as missionaries to go to the Jews and then to the gentiles.  They were, in essence, his ambassadors to the world.  They spoke for him because he wanted them to; that was their task.  Now, to reconcile the two paths to heaven that you mentioned.  If you truly believe that Jesus is lord and that he rose from death and that he died as sacrifice for our sins as Paul says, then how could we not "love God, love our neighbor, help the poor?"  If we say we believe and yet don't try to do these things, then despite what we may say, we don't truly believe.  The two go hand in hand.

God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Everlasting; The Eternal, The Absolute. The One and Only. The knower of visible and invisible, Most beneficent, Most Merciful, The Sovereign, Source of Peace, The Protector, The Guardian, The Hearer, The Seer, The Creator, Provider, The Self-Sufficient, The Majestic, The High, The Great. \n\nHe is God, The First: Nothing is before Him, The Last: Nothing is After Him, The Most High: Nothing is Above Him, The Most Near: Nothing is beyond His Reach.  \n\n"Vision comprehendeth Him not, but He comprehendeth (all) vision. He is the Subtle, the Aware." (QURAN 6: 102) \n\nSuch Is God\n\n"God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Everlasting; slumber does not seize him nor does sleep; to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Who is there that shall intercede with Him, except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is after them, but they do not comprehend anything of His knowledge, except what He will. His Throne extends over the heavens and earth, and their guarding does not strain Him; and He is the High, the Great." (QURAN 2:255)\n\nGod, who is Perfect in every manner and aspect. He begets not, nor is He begotten. He is not Created nor Sustained. Yet He Creates and Sustains all that there is in existence. His Creation is not a part of Him. God is not now, nor was He ever in His Creation.  And there does not exist in His Creation anything like unto Him.  He is Unique,\n\nHe is God—the Creator, the Maker, and the Giver of Form. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the heavens and Earth glorifies Him. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. Quran 59: 24

Yahshua is Hebrew for what we term "Joshua" which means Jehovah is Salvation.\n\nYahweh is the closest we can come to what God called Himself since the Jewish scholars refused to spell out His Name fully. The closest we have is the consonants YHWH, or YaHWeH.\n\nEl is the word for God. Elohim is the plural--not "gods" but God in the mystic threefold unity. The Echad. See my study below, "Is God One or Three?"\n\nYHWH did not command for His names or titles to be changed. However, He also did not punish the Hebrews or the new Gentile church for it either. He knows who He is. He is the God of Abraham, Ysaak and Yakob, and His Name is to be worshipped and praised. Baruch HaShem Adonai. :)

The father, the son, and the holy spirit are one according to the Bible-"Jesus is God and God is Jesus" It IS difficult to wrap your brain around, but I look at it in a practical way...just like when my parents had me, I was a part of them in a physical way and I didn't know it yet, but also in a spiritual way that I understood after I matured. I think the same about Jesus and God.  Jesus was still human while here on earth and didn't understand his father's entire plan hence the "father why have you forsaken me," when he was on the cross, but upon his maturity (death and resurrection) he saw his spiritual bond and oneness with God clearly.  \nGod put a part of him on earth as a human to influence and ultimately save humans as an act of grace. His son is a part of him just as I am a part of my parents. (This is all just my opinion and no offense to others or non-believers!)

Ofcurse No!\n\nYour God is the one who sent Jesus to you. \n\nchristians are lieying to themselves when they say God is = 3. and there are many evidences from the Bible that Jesus and God are two different things. \n\nhere is One:\n"My God ! My God! why have you forsaken me"\n\n"why calling me good. and there is no good but God"\n\n"the Lord our God is only one God"\n\n1st commandments: you shall not take other gods before me!\n\nchristians simply disbelieved the words of God and believed the words of men unjustly.

Allah, God, Yahweh (insert your preferred name for God here) is way more than male or female.  God is ineffable.  God transcends human gender.  \n\nThis comes from the patriarchal societies that Judaism was born in, which continued in Christian and Muslim times when those religions started as well. Back then, men had all the power and women had very little.\n\nAlso, Judaism was one of the first religions not to have a god and a goddess, which was a major departure.  Since Christianity and Islam are offshoots of Judaism, the goddess was left behind as well.\n\nGod is simply God, no matter what your personal name for God is.  A being who made the whole universe isn't male or female, but much, much more.\n\nCheers, K

Jesus is NOT God.\n\nJesus proclaimed to be The Son of God.\nJesus is The King of Kings. Lord of Lords.\nJesus Christ is the only way to The Father Jehova.\nJesus Christ is the 2nd in The trinty, not the First.\nThe Holy spirit is the 3rd in the Trinity, not the 2nd.\n\nGod The Father..Jesus The Son. The Holy Spirit in the Trinity, just in that order.\n\nIf Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, He would be called "God in the flesh". Jesus is called"The Son of God"., for a reason. Because He is.\n\nJehovah God said what?  I will have NO other God's before me.\nDon't put Jesus Christ before Jehovah God.\n\nWe are Christians and ONE in Christ through the Blood. \n\nJehovah, Jesus, The Holy Spirit are ONE through the power of God.\n\nWe are Christians _Christ like.\nWe are not Jehovians, Jehova-likes.\nIf we were Jehovah like, we would be "equals to God.\n\nWe are God's children, not God's equals.

Jesus (God) came to this earth as a man and lived and was crucified, for our sins. ( a debt we couldn't pay) On the third day He rose again and is now in heaven where He is prepairing a place for all who believe (trust, follow, cling to, serve) in Him.  \n\nRespectfully submitted, Allah is not the God of the Bible. The Jesus of the Qur'ân is not the Jesus of the Bible. He was not a prophet, He is God.

According to the Bible, Jesus is God, and has always been God.  But in order to accomplish the salvation of man, He laid aside that right, and took a position that was less then God - that of His Son - and humbled Himself to God as His Father being obedient even to the point of dying on the cross.  Because of that, He was raised from the dead and returned to the position of full Godship with His Father.  (Read Phillippians 2: 6-11).\n\nIn the Jewish culture that Jesus lived, to term translated "the son of..." was a legal term that referred to someone who had all the rights and power of their father.  To refer to Jesus as "the son of God" meant the He had all the rights and power of God.  It is differrent that what we think of when we hear the English term "the son of...".  This is why during Jesus' trial before the Jews, when He referred to Himself as "the son of God", the high priest torn his garment and called him a blasphemer, because He made Himself equal with God.\n\nYou may debate all day whether or not Jesus was divine, but there is no room for debate over whether the Bible SAYS Jesus was divine.  There are hundreds of refers to His divinity in it.\n\nSo the answer is: Jesus, by claiming to be the Son of God, was claiming to be God.  They are the same thing.

Jesus is god. The father, son and the holy spirit is one. Just like water, ice and water vapour. these are all different states of water. So we worship Jesus, God and the holy spirit. Jesus is not another god.

christians are confues with their own believes. once they say Jesus is the Son of God. and then Jesus is God himself. later-on Jesus is part of the trinity.. and so on\n\nthe truth is God words got mixed with Jesus words mixed with people words = Bible\n\nand then when the Bible have been written in Greek, the christianity got mixed with the Greek mythology. and the truth fact is GOD HAS NO SON OR CHILDREN OR PARTNER!\n\nGod is just something by Himself, something unique and alone. God is only one
