The Allah Bibles
Written by Uilleam Mac Gafraidh
Read a story a few days back on BBC, but due to various things happening at Tigh Na Mac Gafraidh I have only been able to pass comment on it now.
The crux of the story in the link is that Bibles have been passed around with “God’s” name replaced with “Allah”. Now for most folks who do not believe in God this might not be an issue.
To me it all sounds a bit “Co-Exist”, in recent times there has been a dumbing down or a blurring of the lines between the world major religions and faiths, saying that we all worship the same God and in more recent times with Tony Blair’s “faith foundation” that we all stem from the same Abrahamic religion.
Now I am not “religious” in the slightest. I am a follower of Jesus Christ who can, at best, be described as a “rotten cowboy”, I am forever falling off the horse and having to mount up again! But I know that I am forgiven and I am sure of my eternal destiny.
Far be it from me in finding a way to reach these people for Christ, but using the word “Allah” is unhelpful, it causes confusion and God is not the author of confusion. I think that if someone is converted thinking that Allah (who had no sons) had a son who died for your sins and they begin to research Allah, it will all unravel and cause the new believer to lose faith.
I am all for the free importing of Bibles, but let us preach the truth to these people. Only the true un-abridged Gospel will save these people. I do not think these people are out to deceive, but to do the work of the LORD and I pray for them.
God bless and as usual I welcome comments

The Holy Bible is a book of fantasies about the Messiah Jesus a man who was crucified by the pen. Who know more about a man murder then the men who committed the murder? Can you not see all the detail in the murder? To this day no man can give a full detail about a man life except “Lord God”. The Christians and the Jews over plotted in stealing information out of {The Koran with Parallel Arabic Text}.Can you not see that they are fantasizing about “Allah Almighty God” the World Greatest Most High Exalted Creator and Ruler of the Universe. Who did not take the form of a mortal man? This is but one of their fantasies, to clean you of your sins. All “Allah” need say is Be, & it is. People, (The Koran) is “Heaven”, and in Heaven you will find “God”, who lives in Heaven? Also you will find “Paradise” the home of the African-Americans who is the Israelites & Egyptians (Muslims) the faithful servants of Lord God. And the fire that surrounds “Paradise” is the Holy Bible of damnation. The tree that God had commanded you to keep away from He is the Forgiving One, the Merciful God. Allah, we submit this seeking Your divine mercy
First of all shortermarvin, thank you for replying so eloquently to this article. I have checked out your post and your website, but I feel that you have strayed from the path of truth and that you are actually preaching error.
To say that the Holy Bible is a book of fantasies shows an apparent lack of regard for the many truths that the Bible has uncovered, and in many cases well before modern science. In some cases science has caught up with the Bible in such a way that is beyond human knowledge and must have been inspired by a supernatural creator. We believe that this is the God of the Bible.
The Holy Bible is a book that is unsurpassed in fulfilled prophesies, scientific discoveries such as the shape of the Earth, the sun, the stars, wheras in comparison, your Holy Book claims that in Surah 18:86 that he “till, when he reached the setting-place of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring” Now that is hardly inspired huh?, most folks would realise that the Sun does not set into the mud?
Although the Old Testament points to a Jewish Messiah, which is later revealed as Rabbi Yeshua Ha Meshach, (Jesus of Nazareth – the Christ) to say that the whole Bible is a fabrication about Jesus is nonsense and shows a lack of study in this particular book.
While Jesus can be found in scriptures other than his own life, it would be simply because that Jesus is one entity of a triune God. In Gen 1:1 when it says, “in the beginning God made the heavens and the earth”. The Word God speaks of duality. Also later in the passage, it is said that “Let us make man in our image”. Now there are a few schools of thought as to how old the earth is, but Christians, regardless of their view of the age of the earth, will agree that God made it.
Now to say he was crucified by the pen, I have no idea what you are referring to here? Murder is not a new thing, after the Garden of Eden, after Cain looked sideways at Abel in a field and slew him due to jealousy. The natural man is inherently sinful and corrupt, so he will commit all acts of atrocities, innocent people will die at others hands for various reasons.
You see that is not how it was meant to be my friend, The Holy Bible is a book about love, Jesus said “by this ye will know ye are my disciples, if ye have love for one another” he also said “that I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the father, but by me” which means that should you not accept the Christ as your messiah, there is no heaven in store for you when you pass from this mortal coil.
There are many extra biblical resources, by both Jewish and Roman scholars that verify about Jesus of Nazareth, so to say that it is a fabrication by just the Bible is plain wrong. The Jews and the Romans would have had the most to gain by quelling Christianity, yet they chose to report on it objectively.
As for your laughable statement about the Jews and the Christians stealing information our of the Qu’ran (or Koran) is bogus due to the overwhelming archaeological evidence that supports the manuscripts of the Old Testament being dated back to as far back as 15BC, and the New Testament being dated back to around 250 AD. (Some 320 years prior to Muhammad being born)
To quote prominent preacher Charlie Campbell of Always Be Ready ministries:
“Even if we did not have any manuscripts, we have the writings of the church fathers. By church fathers we are referring to those leaders in the church, of the first three centuries A.D. that followed the original disciples. Men like Justin Martyr, Eusebius, Tertullian, Polycarp. These men in their writings and correspondence with other believers and other churches quote the Scriptures over and over again. In fact, the early church fathers refer to the New Testament alone more than 86,000 times. There are enough quotations from the early church fathers that even if we did not have a single manuscript copy of the Bible, scholars could still reconstruct 99. 86% of the New Testament that we have today.”
Now I assume you are aware of the prophet Muhammed, Muhammed was a good military leader who fled persecution to Medina, eventually he became strong in Army and conquered Mecca. Muhammed himself did not do what the Koran allows by having 12 wives when the Koran only limits you to four.
In a nutshell the God of the Bible and the God of the Qu’ran are not the same, The Koran teaches that Allah is not Triune, The Qu’ran teaches that Allah has no son, to even preach this is an unforgiving sin (Shirk) Surah 112 states that “Say: He is Allah, the One and Only! Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him” And lastly your “Merciful God – Allah” is repeated to not love sinners?
Surah 2:276
“Allah does not love any ungrateful sinner.”
Surah 3:32
“Surely Allah does not love the unbelievers.”
Surah 4:36
“Surely Allah does not love him who is proud.”
Surah 5:64
“Allah does not love the mischief-makers”
Surah 6:14
“Surely He does not love the extravagant.”
Lastly, if you leave Islam, if you are found, you will be killed. That is an undeniable fact! I have read testimonies of many people who have left Islam and being pursued for their lives or have come within an inch of death.
Brother, I love you as you have given me a place to tell you the truth, free from all bias and possible persecution you may face if you chose to accept the truth. I am happy to send you a copy of the Holy Bible or a New Testament and you can read for yourself about Gods love.
The God of the Bible is a loving God, The Jewish Old Testament points to the one who is part of the triune God, the messiah Jesus Christ, who had his earthly ministry from 0AD to 33AD, who was crucified by the very people he came to save, and who’s gospel is worldwide to both Jews and Gentiles.
Jesus came to “seek and to save, that which was lost” If you are not in communion with the loving God of the Bible, then that is where you are, in Matthew 6, Jesus said “You cannot serve two masters, you will love one and hate the other”
Now my friend, although I do not know you, I will pray for you.
God bless
