More than a Name

In Malaysia, the question over who owns the word "Allah" has led to the fire bombings of six churches. "Allah" means God in the Malay language, but Muslims insist that Christians should not use it.

The Jewish and Moslem concept of God is clearly delineated in the Torah and the Koran as One, meaning: there is nothing in creation which can not be divided, by calling God One refers to the Creator not being in any way, shape or form comparable to anything in creation which can be divided.

Christianity took this concept and sold it as monotheism, a thing not found in either the Torah or the Koran; in the Torah there are 72 Names of God and in the Koran there are 99 Names of God, but YHVH and Allah are beyond them all referring to a Name beyond creation.

The Cabala explains how the four letters YHVH can be rearranged to make the three tenses of time Hoiya/Past, Hovi/Present and Yhiyi/Future–a Name indicating existence beyond time and place where all is One and indivisible. The Christian concept of God is not palatable to either Jewish or Moslem; allowing the Names to become generic commonalities in the banal realm of religion is a travesty.

The Ten Commandments begins with: God is unlike anything in heaven or earth.
