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
