In recent times we keep hearing the statement “We all have the same God!” That cannot possibly be true. Of course, there is only one God Who revealed Himself from the beginning of time as Elohim Yahweh. He is the Eternal One, the Creator of the heavens and the earth. He is King, Saviour, Judge; He is all in all. He said it Himself, “… beside Me there is no God.” (Isa. 44:6; a. o.). That is the God of Moses, the God of Israel. Here on earth He gave His people Israel the only valid confession of faith, which they had to observe: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord …” - Adonai Elohenu Adonai Echad. (Deut. 6:4-9).

The “triune” God that Christianity believes in was invented by the early Catholic church fathers in the third century. There is no mention in the Bible of any of these words: “Trinity,” “triune God,” “eternal Son,” or “God the Son.” There is also no Scripture which states that God ordained the Holy Ghost as the third person of the Godhead; it was instituted by the church fathers in the year 386 AD. There is not a single passage in the Holy Scripture which testifies that God has begotten and born a Son in heaven or any record of a conversation between Father and Son in heaven. All of these things are nothing but misunderstandings about God, which were introduced by the so-called fathers of Christianity and subsequently made into teachings and dogmas.

The subject about the Godhead and the personal manifestation of God as Father in His only begotten Son is the most vital one when it comes to the preaching of the Bible because it happened for our salvation. This subject has been covered extensively in a number of publications on the basis of the applicable Scriptures so that anyone who searches honestly and without prejudice can obtain clarity in this matter.

The god of Mohammed and of Islam is Allah. As the pertinent records of history show forth, he was the ancient Babylonian moon god who supposedly granted fertility to all the vegetation on earth. After Mohammed had conquered all the other tribes and their gods, he proclaimed Allah, the god of his tribe, to be the only true god and declared himself to be his prophet. In the Kaaba in Mecca, the veneration of the black stone continues as always, and until today the Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting, begins at new moon. The final goal of their religion remains the same as ever, namely for the half moon of Islam to become a full moon on earth through the conversion of all non-Muslims.

Over the years I have visited twelve Islamic countries, and it always hurt me very much when the translator substituted “Allah” when I said God during my sermons. In Indonesia, which is the largest Islamic country on earth with its 227 million inhabitants, the name “Allah” is even written in the Bible, from the first verse in Gen. 1 right to the last one in the Prophet Malachi. This was incomprehensible for me. Finally, the dear Lord saw to it that I met a professor who was working for “The Bible Society” in Jakarta. God opened his understanding during one of my sermons and, on account of his influence, the Bible was reprinted. He immediately sent me a copy so I could see for myself that the name “Allah” is no longer in it; instead, it has been replaced with “Elohim-Yahweh.” We thank the Lord God for this.

This subject has even caught the attention of the governments in Indonesia and Malaysia. Consequently, in February 2009 the Islamic government in Malaysia prohibited any further use of the name Allah by the Christian churches. As I was told during my last visit to Indonesia in March 2009, the government in Jakarta may soon follow that example.
