The Fruits of Modern Christianity

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?” – Matthew 7:3.

Dear Christians, in the same way you ask Muslims to rebuke sinful Muslims, there are also extremist, sinful, hateful, xenophobic Christians on pulpits, in schools and on street corners throughout the world. Don’t let this hate divide us, rebuke your Christian brothers and sisters today!

What is the Name of God in Islam?

After posting our video, Do Christians Know the True Name of God, we received quite a few strange responses from our missionary friends. One such response is as follows:

cc-2016-mm-nameofAllah

Apparently, missionaries do not understand what, “In the Name of Allah,” means. I honestly do not know what is difficult about that sentence. It literally tells you what the name of God is. There’s no way anyone can be confused about it, but here we are looking at a screenshot with that exact problem. The funny thing is, the Christian was educated enough to know about the 99 names of Allah, but not to the point he knew that those names are referred to as the names and attributes (asma wa sifat) of God. Even the Qur’an says:

And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave [the company of] those who practice deviation concerning His names. They will be recompensed for what they have been doing. – Qur’an 7:180.

If there’s any missionary out there willing to fill me in on what the source of confusion is, I’d really appreciate it.

Do Christians Know the True Name of God?

Many Christians often assert that one of the reasons people should accept Christianity is because it offers everyone a chance to develop a personal relationship with God. One of the problems with this idea is that this personal relationship has not been able to solve the problem of knowing the true name of God. This is perhaps one hot area of contestation in Christianity.

Christian Apologists Disagree on God’s Real Name

Many people are familiar with Dr. Michael Brown and Matt Slick of CARM. They are after all, Christian apologists. Knowing God’s name is a pretty straightforward topic, not so for Christianity. Matt Slick writes:

For people to say that Jesus’ real name is Yashua or Yahusha or Yahushua, etc., is Jesus’ real name is just a statement of pushing an agenda and not believing the New Testament text.

Interestingly, Dr. Michael Brown accuses Matt of being wrong on knowing the true name of God. In a discussion with Br. Mustafa Sahin of Australia, Browns says:

What can we learn from this? Brown considers people like Matt Slick who argues that Jesus is God’s real name are incorrect and wasting their time. On the other hand, Matt considers people like Dr. Michael Brown who argue that Jesus isn’t God’s real name are pushing an agenda and not believing in the New Testament text.

The question is, since Dr. Michael Brown rejects that Jesus is God’s real name, is Matt Slick correct in referring to him as a disbeliever in the New Testament?
