The pre-Islamic
Arab culture spoke of 360 gods of which “Allah”
was one of them. The correct Arabic name for
“God” is the word “Al-ilah.” It became a generic
title for whatever god was considered the
highest god. Each Arab tribe used “Allah” to
refer to its own particular high god. For
example, the moon god called “Hubal” was the god
to whom Arabs prayed at the Kaa’ba and when they
prayed they used the name “Allah.” Historians
have said that “Allah” was the chief of the 360
gods that were worshipped in Arabia at the time
that Mohammed came to prominence. Some Muslims
will become angry when hearing this history
about “Allah.” They don’t want to believe or
accept that “Allah” was already being worshipped
at the Kaa’ba in Mecca by Arab pagans before the
time of Mohammed.
There is also evidence that
the term “Allah” was used by heathen Arabs not
only in Arabia but also among the Nabateans.
The name “Allah” was well known
in pre-Islamic Arabia (as even the Qur’an
testifies). The feminine form of the word is
“Allat” (simply means “the goddess”) and is
found in many inscriptions from North Africa as
well as in Arabic inscriptions prior to Islam.
'Allah' is not a common name in
Arabic for 'God' of the Bible. Muslims must use another word
or form to indicate any other than their own
peculiar deity.
Other gods mentioned in the
Qur’an are all female deities: “Al-Lat” and
“al-Uzza” and “Manat” which are represented by
the sun, the planet Venus, and Fortune or
Destiny. At Mecca they were regarded as the
daughters of “Allah.”
Among the pagan Arabs before the
time of Mohammed, the term “Allah” represented
the chief god of their pantheon at the Kaa’ba
with its 360 idols. The central shrine at Mecca,
the Kaa’ba, is a cube-like stone structure that
has a black stone in one of its corners (perhaps
a meteorite) that must be kissed as an essential
ritual of the Haj, the pilgrimage that all
Muslims must take at least once in their life to
Mecca.

Don't Believe the Lies
"The Spirit expressly states that in the
end of days some people
will apostatize from the faith by paying
attention to deceiving spirits
and things taught by demons. Such
teachings come from the
hypocrisy of liars whose own consciences
have been burned,
as if with a red-hot branding iron."
1 Timothy 4:1-2
Lies about the people of Israel
LIE 1:
"Abraham
offered up Ishmael, not Isaac, on Mt. Moriah."
Genesis 22:1-2; 9-12
"After these things, God tested Abraham. He said
to him, 'Abraham!' and he answered, 'Here I am.'
He said, 'Take your son,
your only son, whom you love, Isaac; and go to
the land of Moriah. There you are to offer him
as a burnt offering on a mountain that I will
point out to you.' They came to the place God
had told him about; and Abraham built the altar
there, set the wood in order, bound Isaac his
son and laid him on the altar, on the wood.
Then Abraham put out his hand
and took the knife to kill his son. But the
angel of Adonai called to him out of heaven:
'Abraham? Abraham!' He answered, 'Here I
am.' He said, 'Do not lay your hand on the
boy. Do not do anything to him. For
now I know that you are a man who fears God,
because you have not withheld your son, your
only son, from me.'"
Hebrews 11:17
"By trusting, Abraham, when he
was put to the test, offered up Isaac as a
sacrifice. Yes, he offered up his only son, he
who had received the promises."
James 2:21
"Was not Abraham our father
declared righteous because of actions when he
offered up his son Isaac on the altar?"
LIE 2:
"The Jews
never owned the Temple Mount – it is an Islamic
holy site."
2 Samuel 24:18-25
"Gad came to David that day
and said to him, 'Go, set up an altar to Adonai
on the threshing-floor of Aravnah the Y'vusi.'
David went up and did what Gad had said, as
Adonai had ordered. Aravnah looked out and saw
the king and his servants coming toward him.
Aravnah went out and prostrated himself before
the king with his face to the ground. Then
Aravnah said, 'Why has my lord the king come to
his servant?' David said, 'To buy your
threshing-floor, in order to build an altar to
Adonai, so that the plague will be lifted from
the people.' Aravnah said to David, 'Let my lord
the king take and offer up anything that seems
good to him. Here are the oxen for the burnt
offering; you can use the threshing-sledges and
the yokes for the oxen as firewood. All this, O
king, Aravnah gives to the king.' Then Aravnah said to the king,
'May Adonai your God
accept you.' But the king said to Aravnah,
'No;
I insist on buying it from you at a price. I
refuse to offer to Adonai my God burnt offerings
that cost me nothing.' So David bought the
threshing-floor and the oxen for
one-and-a-quarter pounds of silver shekels. Then
David built an altar to Adonai there and offered
burnt offerings and peace offerings. After this,
Adonai took pity on the land and lifted the
plague from Israel."
LIE 3:
"There
never was a king named David."
Psalm 78:70-72
"He chose
David to be his servant, taking him from the
sheep-yards; from tending nursing ewes he
brought him to shepherd Jacob his people, Israel
his heritage. With upright heart he shepherded
them and guided them with skillful hands."
Psalm 89:34-37
"I will not
profane my covenant or change what my lips have
spoken. I have sworn by my holiness once and for
all; I will not lie to David, his dynasty will
last forever, his throne like the sun before
me. It will be established forever, like the
moon, which remains a faithful witness in the
sky."

King David
is mentioned 1085 times in the Bible
|
LIE 4:
"The
Jews never built a temple on the Temple Mount
and there never was a king named Solomon."
1 Kings
6:1
"It was in the 480th year after
the people of Israel had left the land of Egypt,
in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over
Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second
month, that he began to build the house of
Adonai."
2 Chronicles 3:1-2
"Then Solomon began to build the house of Adonai
in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where Adonai had
appeared to David his father. Provision
had been made for this at the place David had
chosen, the threshing floor of Ornan the Y'vusi.
He began building in the fourth year of his
reign, on the second day of the second month."
LIE 5:
"The city
of Jerusalem never belonged to the Jews – it was
and is a holy site for Muslims."
1 Kings 11:36
"To his son I will give one tribe, so that David
my servant will always have a light burning
before me in Jerusalem, the city I chose for
myself as the place to put my name."
2 Chronicles 6:6 "But
now I have chosen Jerusalem, so that my name can
be there; and I have chosen David to be over my
people Israel."
|
Jerusalem is mentioned over 800 times in the
Bible,
but not once in
the Koran
|
LIE 6:
"The land
was and is called 'Palestine' until the modern
State of Israel occupied it."
Matthew 2:19-21
"After
Herod's death, an angel of Adonai appeared in a
dream to Joseph in Egypt and said, 'Get up, take
the child and his mother, and go to the Land of
Israel, for those who wanted to kill the child
are dead.' So he got up, took the child and his
mother, and went back to the Land of Israel."
The name “Palestine” was not officially given to
the land until the 2nd century AD when Hadrian
named it after the Jewish Revolt under Bar Kochba
in 132 C.E. to offend the Jews by naming it after
their ancient enemies – the Philistines.
LIE 7:
"The modern
State of Israel was started by Jews who took
land away from the Palestinians."
The Jews were
given a homeland by international agreement but
never took any land away from anyone. When the
holocaust Jewish survivors came to Israel, Egypt
told some 300,000 Arabs to leave their homes in
Palestine for a few days while the armies of
seven Arab nations would wipe out the Jews. When
they lost the War of Liberation in 1948, the
Jews invited all of these “refugees” to return. Some did; others did not. The Jews paid huge
prices for land from a few Arab landowners –
mostly swamps and desert land that was filled with
rocks.
There never
were a Palestinian people, culture, nation, or
language. There never was an Arab state on that
land. The late Syrian leader, Hafez Assad, said:
“There is no such thing as a Palestinian people;
there is no Palestinian entity – there is only
Syria.”
LIE 8:
"Tel Aviv
is the capital of Israel, not Jerusalem."
Jerusalem is the only capital Israel has ever
had, both from ancient times to the present day.
Lies about
the Land
LIE
9: "Israel
forfeited its right to the land by their
disobedience and sin."
Leviticus 26:40-45
"Then
they will confess their misdeeds and those of
their ancestors which they committed against me
in their rebellion; they will admit that they
went against me. At that time I will be going
against them, bringing them into the lands of
their enemies. But if their uncircumcised hearts
will grow humble, and they are paid the
punishment for their misdeeds; then I will
remember my covenant with Jacob, also my
covenant with Isaac and my covenant with
Abraham; and I will remember the land. For the
land will lie abandoned without them, and it
will be paid its Shabbats while it lies desolate
without them; and they will be paid the
punishment for their misdeeds, because they
rejected my rulings and loathed my regulations.
Yet, in spite of all that, I will not reject
them when they are in the lands of their
enemies, nor will I loathe them to the point of
utterly destroying them and thus break my
covenant with them, because I am Adonai their
God. Rather, for their sakes, I will remember
the covenant of their ancestors whom I brought
out of the land of Egypt - with the nations
watching - so that I might be their God; I am
Adonai.'"
LIE
10:
"This land belongs to Islam! No, it
belongs to the God of
Israel."
Leviticus 25:23
"The
land is not to be sold in perpetuity, because
the land belongs to me (Adonai) - you are
only foreigners and temporary residents with
me."
LIE
11: "God’s
covenant to Israel about the land was
conditional and temporary."
Wrong!
Genesis
17:7-8
"I
am establishing my covenant between me and you,
along with your descendants after you,
generation after generation, as an everlasting
covenant, to be God for you and for your
descendants after you. I will
give you and your descendants after you the land
in which you are now foreigners, all the land of
Canaan, as a permanent possession; and I will
be their God."
Psalm 105:8-11
"He
remembers his covenant forever, the word he
commanded to a thousand generations, the
covenant he made
with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac, and
established as a law for Jacob, for Israel as an
everlasting covenant: 'To you I will give the
land of Canaan as your allotted heritage.'"
God's covenant is
everlasting..
LIE
12: "If the
Jews give up land to the Palestinians, it will
bring peace."
Psalm 83:2-55
"because
here are your enemies, causing an uproar; those
who hate you are raising their heads, craftily
conspiring against your people, consulting
together against those you treasure. They say,
'Come, let's wipe them out as a nation; let the
name of Israel be remembered no more.' With one
mind they plot their schemes; the covenant they
have made is against you (Adonai)."
The policy of “land for
peace” has failed 10 times, including Gaza.
LIE
13: "There is
nothing unbiblical about dividing the land
between the Jews and the Palestinians."
Wrong!
Joel 3:1-2; 12; 16-17
"For
then, at that time, when I restore the fortunes
of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all
nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshafat (meaning Adonai judges). I will
enter into judgment there for my people, my
heritage Israel, whom they scattered among the
nations; then they divided my land."
"Let
the nations be roused and come up to the Valley
of Jehoshafat. For there I will sit to
judge all the surrounding nations."
"Adonai will roar from Zion, he will thunder
from Jerusalem, the sky and the earth will
shake. But Adonai will be a refuge for his
people, a stronghold for the people of
Israel. 'You will know that I am Adonai your
God, living on Zion my holy mountain.'
Then Jerusalem will be holy, and foreigners will
pass through her no more."
Daniel 11:36-39;
45
"The
king will do as he pleases. He will exalt
himself and consider himself greater than any
god, and he will utter monstrous blasphemies
against the God of gods. He will prosper
only until the period of wrath is over, for what
has been determined must take place. He will
show no respect for the gods his ancestors
worshipped, or for the god women worship - he
won't show respect for any god, because he will
consider himself greater than all of them. But
instead, he will honor the god of strongholds;
with gold, silver, precious stones and other
costly things he will honor a god unknown to his
ancestors. He will deal with the strongest
fortresses with the help of a foreign god.
He will confer honor on those he acknowledges,
causing them to rule over many and distributing
land as a reward."
"Finally, when he (the king) pitches the
tents of his palace between the seas and the
mountain of the holy Glory, he will come to his
end, with no one to help him."
Lies about
Arabs
LIE 14:
"All Arabs
are Islamic.
No.
Many are Christians, believers in the Messiah of
Israel.
LIE 15:
"All
Palestinians are Arabs.
No. Many who lived in the land called
"Palestine" prior to
1948 were Jews. Most of today’s so-called
“Palestinians” are Jordanians who lived on land
held by Jordan from 1948 to 1967.
LIE 16:
"Most
nations in the Middle East are Arab nations."
Wrong. Most nations are Islamic, but
not Arab. The people in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and
even Saudi Arabia, are not all Arabs. The Arabs are
the direct descendants of the 12 sons of
Ishmael, the son of an Egyptian handmaiden named
Hagar.
1 Chronicles 1:29-31
"Here are their descendants: Ishmael's firstborn
Nevayot; then Kedar, Adbel, Mivsam, Mishma,
Dumah, Masa, Hadad, Teima, Yatur, Nafish and
Kedem. These are the sons of Ishmael."
LIE 17:
"Jewish
settlements are being built on Arab land."
No
settlements have ever been built on confiscated
or privately-owned Arab land. The land upon
which they exist was given to Israel by God, and
the modern State purchased much of this land
from Arab land owners who never lived in this
land.
LIE 18:
"The Middle East problem is between Jews and
Arabs."
No, the
problem is between Jews and Muslims - the latter who are
committed to the destruction of the State of
Israel and the extermination of the Jewish
people.
The Father of Lies
The Bible tells us that SATAN himself is a
murderer and the father of all lies.
"Yeshua
replied to them, 'If God were your Father, you
would love me;
because I came out from God; and now I
have arrived here.
I did not come on my own; he sent me.
Why don't you understand what I'm saying?
Because you cannot bear to listen to my
message.
You belong to your father, Satan,
and you want to carry out your father's
desires.
From the start he was a murderer,
and he has never stood by the truth,
because there is no truth in him.
When he tells a lie, he is speaking in
character;
because he is a liar -- indeed, the
inventor of the lie!
But as for me, because I tell the truth
you don't believe me."
John 8
:44
