The unique phenomenon of the name Allah:

In Arabic, the name Allah is composed of four characters; they are: Aleph, Lam, Lam and Haa

Allah is pronounced as Allahu when comes at the beginning of a sentence.

The name Allah is the Great name of the Lord, the Almighty Creator of this cosmos.

The name Allah is mentioned in Quran 1567 times

God is mentioned in the Bible 3877 times.

The unique linguistic phenomenon of the name Allah:

The name Allah is a unique name which is quite different from the name God.

From the linguistic point of view, the name Allah can give the same meaning if we use:

• All of its four characters

• Three characters

• Two Characters

• Or the last character

To illustrate this unique phenomenon:

If we say Allah; it means the Great name of the Lord, the Creator.

If we deduct, subtract or take away the first letter Aleph, then we get three Characters (Lam, Lam and Haa) which is pronounced as: Lillah and means: To Allah.

If we deduct the first two letters Aleph and Lam, then we get two Characters (Lam and Haa) which is pronounced as: Lahu and also means: To Allah.

If we deduct the first three letters Aleph, Lam and Lam then we get only one Character; the last one (Haa) which is pronounced as: hu and it means: Him.

This unique linguistic phenomenon indicates that the name Allah can give the same meaning by using all of its four characters, three characters, two Characters or one character.

The name God does not have this phenomenon; which is not applicable for any name but Allah.

God the one Supreme Being, the creator and ruler of the universe.

If we deduct the character G, we will get od

Od in dictionary means:

An imaginary force which in the past detained to include all environment and to manifest itself in magnetism, mesmerism, chemical action, etc

Also, od means a person who has taken an overdose of a drug, esp. one who has become seriously ill or has died from such an overdose.

And it means also, to die from an overdose of a drug

.

If we deduct the characters G and O, we will get d which is the fourth letter of the English alphabet, and it is used as a contraction of had, did and should.

Jesus Was a Man (part 2)

Let’s face it, there is a psychological yearning in mankind to separate Jesus from the rest of us when it comes to our humanity; however, to do so totally denies the purpose for which He came. Flesh can only be redeemed by flesh. If Jesus were of a virgin birth, then He didn’t share our origin, or nature, and then we must ask how could He ask us to follow Him? But, if He was born as a human like all of us, then what he did and what he achieved we can too. It’s so much easier to take the easy way out and make Jesus divine.

And if you’re interested there’s a 5 part series on the virgin birth myth at http://www.lrchouston.com

Let’s make it simple here. There are two camps. And I’m going to use a quote from each camp to illustrate the differences.

Thomas Aquinas said…….

“Without any hesitation we must abhor the error that asserts that Christ’s Mother, after his virgin birth, was carnally known by Joseph, and bore other children. This error is an insult to the Holy Ghost, whose shrine was the virginal womb, wherein he had formed the flesh of Christ: wherefore it was unbecoming that it should be desecrated by intercourse with man.”

John Knox said…………….

“For all his goodness and greatness, the wonder of his manhood, the qualities of mind and spirit which lift him so far above us, he was still a human being like ourselves. Not only should we not want it otherwise; we ought not to be able to bear otherwise. Jesus was a man like ourselves; Jesus’ nature was out common human nature. To say this is not to make a grudging concession to secular reason; it is to make a vital reaffirmation of the Christian faith.”

What do YOU SAY?

Jesus Has an S&m Party to Attend

JESUS HAS AN S&M PARTY TO ATTEND

I have had glimpses of this for some time now. It has not been as clear as the show bar word. Jesus is going to make an appearance at S&M parties. He isn’t bringing judgment. He is bringing wine. A big keg of joyful wine. New wine. Fresh wine. Addictive wine. It will be a suddenly. People will be having their underground sex party and suddenly an unexpected guest will make his appearance.

Suddenly a party of sex will be transformed into a party of ecstasy. A different kind of ecstasy. The kind of ecstasy not found in a pill or a bottle. The kind of ecstasy that Brother Lawrence and St. Teresa Of Avila experienced. I see a sudden freedom. Liberation and laughter. Liberation from a mind that binds. Why should revival be closed in behind church walls? God can visit who and where ever he wants. And Jesus has an S&M gig to attend. I see people totally wiped out and wacked out in the Spirit. People will say “These people have lost their minds!”.

They will be filled to the brim and healed from within. Inner wounds being healed. Many sons and daughters will return to their mothers and fathers and families will be reunited. Something will change that night. Lives will be transformed. Hope will return There will be laughter and joy as the Lord fills, fills, fills to the brim. A new wine of another kind.

Pentecost In Bible Studies And Cell Groups

I see a suddenly occur in little faithful bible studies and cell groups. I see a wind and I see a fire. I then see crying out hour after hour after hour. I see a hunger. A mighty hunger within. Small towns will changed. There will be wild fire in the streets and hospitals. A fire no man can contain. Other cities I don’t see this. I see people going to bed one night and waking up the next morning to realize that hell has come to there city. The media will be in shock.

Cops patrolling the streets. Crime running rampant.

JESUS IS GOING TO DANCE CLUBS AND BARS TO GET DRUNK

One night while lying on my bed, the Holy Spirit prompted me to hold my fingers like I was smoking a joint and to take a hit. I did and I got totally wasted on Jesus. I did again and got more wasted. I got so wasted that I could literally not see straight and since then I have had dreams and visions. I could see many dance clubs and bars. I could see people enter the clubs and bars and they were drunk, but not drunk as you suppose.

They were wild and crazy. They were totally and completely insane to the natural mind. They were thinking from another place. Another world. Not only were bars being transformed but cities were as well. It looked like Brownsville or Toronto, or all the previous revivals we have read about or have been a part of. The only difference is that it was everywhere. It was at Wal Mart and Taco Bell.

I saw spontaneous preaching from tables and bar stools. I saw water Baptism with beer mugs and in horse troughs. I saw spontaneous worship, singing and revival. I saw people not only unable to drive, but to even leave. They would lay on the bar rooms floor or Wal Mart or where ever for hours. And once they did leave they would only fall back into a trance for weeks at a time.

I saw people being healed and signs and wonders. It wasn’t from laying on of hands, but a thick Glory that would enter the places or cities. I could even see visual manifestations of the Glory. You have permission to repost this just at the link to my blog. Thanks Kevin

Who Is God? – Part 2 Of 2

Dr. Nash: Has Bawa Muhaiyaddeen spoken of reincarnation?
Bawa Muhaiyaddeen:If a bee were to fall into fire, what would happen? It would become part of the fire.It could not come out of the fire again; it has become the fire itself.The fire has consumed the bee. If, however, the bee does not enter the fire, if it is not burned, then it still exists.It may fly near the fire or remain far away, but it still would exist here in this world.Where else is there for it to be?
Man is not really this external form, this body.The inner form of man is the qualities of God-a form separate from the external form.Within that form is the shadowless soul, which came as a ray from God, from that great power.It has no form or shadow, and it cannot be discovered by science.Everything has a shadow, but not the soul.God has no shadow, truth has no shadow, and wisdom has no shadow.It is this treasure that you must separate off.This is God’s treasure, God’s truth.This is separate from the body of earth, fire, water, air, and ether.That belongs to illusion, or maya, to the earthly world, to night and darkness.It is glitter, it is scenes, it is an act, and it is veils.One form is night and the other is light.One is false and one is truth.One is torpor and one is the radiance of wisdom.
The external body relates to the earth itself.It is just a cooperative store with five shareholders.But true man is a separate section from this cooperative store.His is the section of Man-God, God-Man, which contains God’s power.That power, that body, that prayer, and that devotion, all belong to a separate section
Within God’s creation there are multifarious things: goats, bulls, tigers, leopards, lions, mice, birds, and snakes.They each have their own qualities, their own peculiar sounds and actions.God is a great scientist, a great artist, and a potter.He is a learned scholar, the poet of poets, the gnani, the one who has divine wisdom.Realizing all things, God is the father who gives the explanation and the life to all.From His treasury, He is able to do all things.He is the one who has seen and known everything.He has seen the beginningless beginning (anathi), and the dawning of light (athi).God is that power for which there is no comparison anywhere.He holds within Himself such an immense treasury.He holds within Himself the entire understanding of grace, of creation, of all the sciences and arts, of ignorance, illusion, and the wealth of this world and the eighteen thousand universes.Everything that ever can be and ever will be is within His treasury.All the learnings of earth, fire, water, air, and ether, of colors, glitters, lights, and illusion are there within that treasury.
God knows the powers of each atom and the explanation and meanings of each and every thing.He has experience of everything whether it be astrology, the earth, or birth.It is God alone who has understood the clarity of each and every thing.Having created all things out of the entirety of His treasury, what He finally distilled and redistilled and purified and repurified many times and then created in man, the human being.That which God tempered and distilled to such a purified state and placed His qualities within, is man.
Having placed His qualities within man, God said, “I am the secret of man and man is My secret!I have placed within him My entire treasury.He is My wealth, My bank.Within man, I have placed all My powers.He is My wealth, and I am his wealth.If there is any being who can realize Me, it is only man.If there is any being who can learn My knowledge, it is only man. And if man is able to realize My knowledge, then he is I and I am he.All of My treasure and all My beauty is within man, and his beauty is within Me.He is My bank and I am his bank. The wealth that he needs is Me, and I have placed My wealth within him.It is man, himself, who must expend from My bank.It is he who must give forth of My grace.”So God has said.
When the station of divine wisdom dawns and one realizes, “I am nothing,” then he has no birth.Then there is no ‘I’, no ‘you’. There are no races, differences, colors, or sects.If he does not possess anything, just as God possess nothing, then there is no rebirth for him.It is he alone who can be called man, a human being.If one has not realized this wisdom and God, he cannot be called man.One can not be termed man except by the truth and wisdom within him.By looking at his face and body, you cannot call him man.There are men who are like monkeys.There are men who are like animals.They cannot all be called human beings.Only if one has that wisdom which is due to man, the human wisdom, can he be called man.If he does not possess this human wisdom, but instead possesses the consciousness and qualities of beasts, then this is not a human being.
Within man are the eighteen thousand universes.Whatever he sees outside is also found within himself, without form.There is a world outside, and there is a world inside. There is an ocean outside, and there is an ocean inside of man.There is satan outside, and there is satan inside.There are illusions outside and within; there are the visual attractions outside and within; there are demons without and demons within.There are lions outside and the qualities of the lion within man.The bull is outside and also within.The tiger is outside, and the tiger’s quality of pouncing and catching another is within man.The crow is outside and also within; the eagle and all of the birds to be found outside are also found within man.There is also a large ocean to be found within man-the red sea of blood attachments.The entire eighteen thousand universes are found within man.
Whatever angels or heavenly beings exist outside also exist within man, in shadow form.And if one takes on the qualities of a demon, then he is a demon.This body is a cooperative store.If one takes on the qualities of a lion, then he is a lion; if one has the arrogance of the elephant within him, then he is an elephant himself; if he has the quality of the biting snake, he is a snake.If he butts like the bull or kicks like the horse, then he is that animal.
If he has the quality of illusion, then he is illusion itself.If he has the quality of satan, then he is darkness itself.So, man has the form of whatever qualities he has taken within himself.It is by his qualities and actions that you can ascertain his form.If he is filled with arrogance, envy, vengeance, and jealousy, he has the qualities of satan.If he has desire, then he has the quality of illusion.If he has torpor, then he has the quality of ignorance.
Therefore, we must find out who is a true human being.If you look at all of mankind in the world of God’s creations, there are very, very few true human beings. But there are very, very many who are animals.
God is just one, and like that, true man is very, very rare.In the kingdom of this earth, the true human being is very rare indeed.They are very few and even these few are not tolerated here; they are not allowed to exist in this world.The true human being is just one in ten million.But if one does become a true man, then for him there will be no birth or death, nor will he return again.He does not come back to the world, nor is he destroyed.
A bull must plow, then later go to the butcher, and from the butcher come to the table.He must go and come back.He must go and come back through the gate of hell.This is the way of the animal.They must go to hell and come back through hell.This is the way it is, but true man is not like this. A true human being is very rare.

An Article- Right to Demand From God

Right to demand from God?

Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

We know that we all are children of God. It is also accepted that we all are members of one family headed by parent God and therefore, we all are related to each other and are not strangers or enemies of each other. But this aspect of life and reality had never been accepted finally by this man. It is on record that we had never been accepting all the people as our own and it is on record that history of this man had been written with blood of this man and this writing of history with the blood of man is still going on and this man is coming out with new causes and grounds under which he allows himself to kill another man, whether he had done something wrong with me or he had not done anything wrong with me. I want to rule and therefore, for establishing my rule, I shall be killing people and shall be establishing fear in this world. This is the trend of man in which he is living at the present.

In most of the cases we are not in a position to oppose and therefore, we have adopted the path of prayer before God. We are just praying before God and we have not the courage to say that such and such person is on the wrong side. We know that some persons are snatching away our rights and the share which was meant for us. But we cannot oppose and instead of opposing and saving our share, we are coming forward to religious places and placing our demands before God. We never know that God does not accept prayers for which we are not entitled. First of all we shall have to create a right and only then we shall be able to place our demand before God. God would not give us a thing for which we have got no right. Therefore, we should try to take help of God and we should prepare ourselves for the occasion. We should know our rights and privileges and only then we should seek help of God. We must save our rights and privileges and only then we should seek help of God. The people who are just reciting religious books and are uttering prayers time and again would not get anything and there are chances that they may lose faith in God. When God does not accept our prayer, we are frustrated and we lose faith in God. Most of us have already lost faith in God and that is the reason, we are placing the same demands before God time and again. These repetitions means that we have started believing that what we had said yesterday, God might have forgotten the same. We are not having a faith that we should pray before God only once and we should never repeat the same and if the prayers is not accepted, then we should not blame God, but we should have an introspection and we should correct ourselves. First of all we shall have to create our right for a thing and only then we have got a right to pray before God. God never gives a thing to us till we have got a right for that thing. This aspect of life must be understood by us first before we approach God.

Man had been wasting much of his time in making prayers and had he put in labour to achieve some targets, he would have been placed at a better position. We have noted that the people who are just praying and are doing nothing to achieve something are left behind and they are now poor, illiterate, unemployed, houseless, living in huts and mud houses having no provisions of latrine and bath rooms. And such people are found in large number in those countries which are having faith in God and they have got no faith in themselves and are not doing anything in life. The state, the society and all wise people of those countries must come forward and tell their people the right direction and they must be told that they shall have to work on their projects and they must pray only for success and they should never demand from God for which they are not working hard and are creating a right for them.

Thank You Jesus!

Does Hebrews 13:8 refer only to Jesus the Christ, or does that apply to God as well? How many people have you heard that God does not change! As the Consciousness, with a capital C, I agree; however, it seems that how His creation see Him changes alot. And I judge that as very, very good. What’s bad for me are people who adhere to ancient concepts that have long since been proven wrong or out-dated. 

I am so glad that we have freedom of religion in America, even though it is greatly hindered by many who demand a belief in an Old Testament God.

Who can imagine a God who was spoken of by the Old Testament consciousness as the killer women, childen, and babies? Who can embrace a God felt honored by the killing of millions of the animals that He created? Worst of all in an ever-changing and fast-paced world like that which we live in, who can believe a God that changes as much as we do?

It’s almost as though God couldn’t make up His mind as to what He wanted to do. Have you noticed these Scriptures?

>Genesis 6:6-  Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth>Jeremiah 26:19- Jehovah repented concerning the evil that He spake against them>Exodus 32:14-  the LORD relented and did not bring on his people the disaster he >Judges 2:18- It repenteth Jehovah, because of their groaning from the presence of their oppressors>Jeremiah 18:18-  If that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent >Hosea 11:8-  My heart is changed within me

And several more.

If we could simpy understand that these are words spoken by men and women who lived thousands of years ago in a world very much different than ours. We desperately NEED their insights, their views, and the inspiration that was upon them when they wrote. But, the FACTS and the WORLD are different. We are different, and becoming more so. I honor them and I look upon their words as sacred, though not inerrant or infallible.

May we stand on their shoulders and give our children a more clear view of the Spirit of the living God and thereby return the favor. After all, we have the advantage of knowing Jesus- BIG PLUS for us. How could they possibly know God until Jesus arrived?

Thank you Jesus!

As a spiritual-futurist my commentaries and articles deal primarily with an interpretation of current events in light of macro-universal forces at play.

Good or Bad, God Accepts All

Generally it is believed in the world that only the good are eligible to know and reach God. That is why people do good deeds, give charity and help others so that they could attain God. And the world denounces the doers of bad deeds as sinners and declares them unfit to reach God.

But in the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna says that the being is not the doer of any good or bad deeds, because all actions are done by nature, the doer-power of God. Lord Krishna also says that the Supreme does not accept the virtues or the sins of any being. It does not matter to God whether one is good or bad or whether one performs good actions or bad actions.

Does it mean that even the people who are into so-called bad deeds can reach God?

Actually the only criterion for attaining God is acceptance of the words of God. No matter whether a person is good or bad, if he accepts the words of God and abides by them, then he becomes fit to know God and reach God. In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna goes to the extent of saying that even if a wicked person worships God with devotion he is regarded as a saint.

The ancient Indian scriptures even cite a very good instance, wherein a dacoit who used to murder and loot innocent travellers, got a chance to accept the words of God. He did this and by following the words of God he became sage Valmiki who wrote the much revered scripture, the Ramayan.

The important thing here is not worshipping God, for everyone in the world claims to be doing so. The important thing is to accept the words of God and worship Him by the method revealed by God. If one sticks to the modes of worshipping prevalent in the world, then according to Lord Krishna one can never reach or attain God. Most of these modes vehemently propagate that those into bad deeds are not entitled to reach God. But on the supreme path shown by God himself there is no such restriction. Anyone who has faith and who accepts the words of God and follows the supreme path, in no time sees God with his or her open eyes.

This supreme path has been elucidated in the book You Are God written by Shashi Verma that is based on the teachings of Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita. To order the book or to know more about this path to which each and every human being, irrespective of one’s caste, religion, deeds or creed is entitled, log on to the website www.highestwisdom.com

Shashi Verma is a Fellow Member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and has been in practice for the last 30 years. He is Chairman of Noble Foundation, a charitable organization engaged in disseminating the wisdom of God. He has authored several books on spirituality and wisdom of God. His recent book, You Are God- The Bhagavad Gita as never before unfolds a unique wisdom lying unexplored in the Bhagavad Gita for thousands of years. According to him this wisdom will lead the world into a new age where all of us will live in peace, happiness and complete harmony having realized that all beings are forms of God, that is, they are God. Shashi Verma has given numerous talks in India and abroad on this wisdom of God contained in the Gita.

Jesus is not a Republican

Let’s start with some facts:

The English translation of the bible is an interpretation of a interpretive translation. The first amendment of the constitution establishes your right as a citizen of this country to believe what you want and say what you want.  When 33 pastors participated in “Pulpit Freedom Sunday” they complained that their 1st amendment rights were being violated.  In truth, only their tax-exempt status could be threatened, however literature distributed by the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) stated that in most cases, nothing will actually happen.  So far, nothing has.  So why the big deal?  Churches are not obligated to file a return with the IRS.  In a 2006 article on psalm145.blogspot.com it was reported that the average church income is close to $5 Million per year.  Imagine having to suddenly pay taxes on that.  It’s not about free speech, it’s about the money.  But it gets worse.

Every church that participated in this event supported the Republican candidate from Arizona.  Coincidentally, the Alliance Defense Fund is based in Arizona.  Pastors reasons for swaying voters are mainly issues concerning abortion, same-sex marriage and stem-cell research.  With the exception of Roe v Wade, neither candidate will change the laws regarding these issues on a federal level.  So why would you support one or the other based on religious conviction.  Some Christians falsely believe that our country was founded on Christianity.  In the 16th Century, Queen Elizabeth punished those who would not conform to the Church of England.  For that reason, the United States of America was specifically designed to seperate church from state.  Devout Christians including Thomas Jefferson and James Madison believed strongly that religion should be separate from government.  The Constitution and the Bill of Rights apply to each and every person regardless of race, creed or sex.   So why do these pastors feel the need to mix their churches back in with the government?  Who is actually behind these actions? Pro-lifers who support John McCain also support a war that was started under false pretense.  Pro-lifers that support McCain support the killing of men, women, pregnant women and children equally.  There is no question that the decision to invade Iraq was based on incomplete information at best, and deceit at worst.  Former Treasury Secretary Paul O’neill told “60 Minutes” of the newly elected Bush administration that “From the very beginning, there was a conviction that Saddam Hussein was a bad person and that he needed to go”.  Former Secretary of State, Colin Powell, who delivered the knock-out punch that convinced Americans of the threat, calls his dissertation on Sadam’s Weapons of Mass Destruction the lowest point in his life, that the information given him by the White House was anything but an intelligence document, some characterized it as a “sort of Chinese menu from which you could pick and choose”.  Secretary Powell was not told that one of the sources had been flagged as a liar and fabricator.  Former CIA director George Tenet stated that VP Cheney had is sights on Iraq as early as late 2001, early 2002 even though they knew Osama Bin Laden was in Afghanistan.  To think that we have not been fooled is naive, but to believe that it was “God’s will” in invade Iraq is insane.

“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it” – The Friends of Voltaire, Evelyn Beatrice Hall – 1906

Our country is a melting pot of cultures that have the freedom to choose what to believe.  Faith is the practice of tolerance, understanding and love.  Any law inhibiting ones ability to choose based on religious belief or preference goes against the very principle that our country was founded on and is therefore un-American to the fullest.  Government does not belong in your church.  Fight to keep it out.
