God's Names in the Bible

The Bible contains many God's names.

God's names in the Old Testament:
1. Elohim - God (Genesis 1:1); variants - El, Eloah, Elah
2. Adonai - Lord (Amos 7:7-8)
3. Yahweh (Jehovah) - God's name usually translated as LORD (Jeremiah 33:2)
4. El Shaddai - Almighty God (Genesis 17:1)
5. El Olam - Everlasting God (Genesis 21:33)
6. El Elion - Most High God (Genesis 14:18-20)
7. El Kadosh - Holy God (Joshua 24:19)
8. El Kanno - Jealous God (Joshua 24:19)
9. El Elohe Israel - God, God of Israel (Genesis 33:20)
10. El Roi - Seeing God (Genesis 16:13)
11. El Gadol ve Nora - Great and Awesome God (Deuteronomy 7:21)
12. El Hanun ve Rahum - Gracious and Merciful God (Jonah 4:2)
13. El Neeman - Faithful God (Deuteronomy 7:9)
14. El Hai - Living God (Joshua 3:10)
15. Elohim Hayim - Living God (Deuteronomy 5:26)
16. Elohim Tsebaot - God of hosts (Amos 3:13)
17. Yahweh Tsebaot - LORD of hosts (1 Samuel 17:45)
18. Yahweh Yireh - LORD will provide (Genesis 22:14)
19. Yahweh Rafa - LORD who heals (Exodus 15:26)
20. Yahweh Nissi - LORD is my banner (Exodus 17:15)
21. Yahweh Kadash - LORD who sanctifies (Leviticus 20:8)
22. Yahweh Raah - LORD is my shepherd (Psalom 23:1)
23. Yahweh Tsidkenu - LORD is our righteousness (Jeremiah 23:6)
24. Yahweh Shalom - LORD is peace (Judges 6:24)
25. Yahweh Shammah - LORD is there (Ezekiel 48:35)
26. Yahweh Elohim Israel - LORD, God of Israel (Judges 5:3)
27. Yahweh Elohim - LORD God (Genesis 2:4)
28. Adonai Yahweh - usually translated as Lord GOD (Genesis 15:8)

Some comments regarding the last name: The Jews pronounced Adonai (Lord) instead of YHWH (Yahweh). However, they pronounced Adonai YHWH as Adonai Elohim in order to avoid saying Adonai two times. In the cases when one word should be pronounced instead of another word, Masorets (Hebrew scholars who added special symbols for vowels to the Old Testament text) did not change the consonants of the original word, but added vowels of the word that should be pronounced instead. In Hebrew Masoretic punctuation, YHWH is spelled as Yehovah in order to indicate that this word should be pronounced as Adonai (the first vowel "a" of Adonai is substituted by "e" because "a" in Adonai indicates very short "a" that cannot be pronounced after "y" and should be substituted by very short "e"). However, Adonai YHWH is spelled as Adonay Yehowih in order to indicate that in this construction YHWH should be pronounced as Elohim.

God's names in the New Testament:
1. Theos - God (John 1:1)
2. Kurios - Lord (Ephesians 4:5)
3. Despotes - the Sovereign One (Acts 4:24; Revelation 6:10)
4. Pater - Father (Matthew 6:9; Romans 8:15)
5. Ego Eimi - I AM (John 8:58)

More on the Trinity

As I wrote in a previous post, there is no biblical verse that clearly says about the Trinity. So, it is necessary to use more than one verse in order to prove this teaching biblically. However, there are two verses that are sometimes used for biblical foundation of the Trinity:

For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. (1 John 5:7, New King James Version)

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19)

The problem with the first verse is that it can be found only in a limited number of manuscripts of 14th century and is absent in all the early manuscripts. So, Christian theologians believe that it was not in the original text. This verse is not included into the most modern translations of the New Testament.

The second verse is used because of the singular number "name", not "names". Since there is one name for the three - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, it indicates that they are one.

The main points regarding the Trinity are:
1. There are three Persons in the Trinity - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. However, there is only one God.
2. These Persons are distinct, but not separated.
3. The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God.
4. Each Person is not one third of God, but the whole God.
5. The Father is eternal, the Son is eternal, and the Holy Spirit is eternal. The Father did not become the Son, and the Son did not become the Holy Spirit.
6. None of the Persons is greater or less than the other. They all are equal to one another.

There are also three points that indicate the difference between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit:
1. The Father is not begotten nor proceeding.
2. The Son is eternally begotten of the Father.
3. The Holy Spirit is eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son. (Oriental Orthodox churches teach that the Holy Spirit is proceeding only from the Father.)

These points are called "opera ad intra" (the inward works of the Trinity). Each of the Persons of the Trinity has different and separated inward works.

The biblical foundation for the Son's eternal begetting is Psalm 2:7:

I will declare the decree: The LORD has said to Me, 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.'

In this verse, "today" is the day of the eternal decree, or the eternal purpose:

According to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Ephesians 3:11)

The biblical foundation for the Holy Spirit's eternal proceeding is John 15:26:

But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.

It is important to notice that the Son's eternal begetting is different from the human birth. It is eternal process without beginning and end. The Father is the Originator of the Son. The Holy Spirit's proceeding is also eternal, without beginning and end. The Son's eternal begetting is different from the Holy Spirit's eternal proceeding.

There is also difference between the Persons of the Trinity in the outward works of the Trinity (opera ad extra):
1. The Father chooses (1 Peter 1:2).
2. The Son redeems (1 Peter 1:18).
3. The Holy Spirit regenerates (Titus 3:5) and sanctifies (1 Peter 1:2).

However, in opera ad extra, all the Persons work together. Also, there is no subordination of the Persons of the Trinity in their essence, however, there is subordination in their outward works.

Structures of Christian and Muslim Theology

The main parts of Protestant Christian systematic theology are the doctrines of:
1. The Bible
2. God
3. Christ
4. The Holy Spirit
5. Man (human being)
6. Sin
7. Angels, Satan, and demons
8. Salvation
9. Church
10. Future events

The main parts of Sunni Muslim dogmatics (akida) are faith in:
1. Allah
2. Angels and jinns
3. Books (Holy Scriptures)
4. Prophets and messengers
5. The Day of Judgment and future events
6. Predestination and destiny of everything

It is interesting to compare these two structures.

Christian systematic theology	Muslim dogmatics
The Bible	Books
God	Allah
Christ
The Holy Spirit
Man
Sin
Angels, Satan, and demons	Angels and jinns
Salvation
Church
Future events	The Day of Judgment and future events
	Prophets and messengers
	Predestination and destiny of everything

Muslim theology does not have special sections on Christ and the Holy Spirit because Islam denies the Trinity. Muslim theology does not have sections on man, sin, and salvation because Islam denies man's sinful nature and Christ's redemption. Muslim theology does not have a section on the Church because there is no Church in Islam. Muslim theology has special sections on Allah's prophets and messengers and on Allah's predestination of everything and carrying out this predestination. In Muslim theology, the section on the Books includes Qur'an, some parts of the Bible, and all the other Holy Scriptures.

The Main Attributes of Allah

According to Qur'an, Allah is different from everyone and everything:

And there is none like unto Him. (112:4, Yusufali's translation)

Qur'an says that Allah has the most beautiful names (actually, all His attributes and descriptions mentioned here are considered to be His names):

22 Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god;- Who knows (all things) both secret and open; He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
23 Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god;- the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace (and Perfection), the Guardian of Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the Supreme: Glory to Allah! (High is He) above the partners they attribute to Him.
24 He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms (or Colours). To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare His Praises and Glory: and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. (59:22-24)

Qur'an encourages people to use these names:

The most beautiful names belong to Allah: so call on him by them; but shun such men as use profanity in his names: for what they do, they will soon be requited. (7:180)

According to hadiths, Allah has 99 names:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: There are ninety-nine names of Allah; he who commits them to memory would get into Paradise. Verily, Allah is Odd (He is one, and it is an odd number) and He loves odd number. And in the narration of Ibn 'Umar (the words are):" He who enumerated them." (Sahih Muslim, hadith 6475, translated by Abdul Hamid Siddiqui)

Since Allah is different from everything and everyone, He cannot be compared to anything. He can be known only by His names and attributes.

There are 14 His main attributes. Sunni theologians admit all these attributes, but there are some differences in their classification between the schools Ashariyya and Maturidiyya. Maturidiyya theologians usually divide these attributes into two groups:
1. Sifats Zatiyya (or Salbi) - the attributes of the essence of Allah that deny everything inappropriate;
2. Sifats Subutiyya - the attributes that are necessary for Allah.

Sifats Zatiyya:
1. Al-Wujud - existence: Allah exists and His non-existence is impossible.
2. Al-Kidam - eternity without beginning: Allah is eternal without the beginning.
3. Al-Baka - eternity without end: Allah is eternal without the end.
4. Al-Wahdaniyah - being the only one: Allah is one.
5. Al-Muhalafatu-li-l-havadis - difference from everything: Allah is different from everything.
6. Al-Kiyamu-bi-nafsi-hi - self-existence: Allah exists by Himself.

Sifats Subutiyya:
1. Al-Hayyah - life: Allah is always living.
2. Al-Ilm - knowledge: Allah knows everything.
3. As-Sami - hearing: Allah hears everything.
4. Al-Basar - seeing: Allah sees everything.
5. Al-Irada - will: Allah does what He wants.
6. Al-Kudra - power: Allah is almighty.
7. Al-Kalam - speaking: Allah speaks.
8. At-Takwin - creation: Allah creates everything.

Ashariyya theologians accept all these attributes. However, they consider al-Wujud (existence) to be a special attribute, the attribute of existence. Also, they consider consider at-Takwin (creation) as an attribute of Allah's actions that are possible, but not necessary for Him.

Moreover, Ashariyya theologians sometimes make two attributes (a noun and an adjective) for each of Sifats Subutiyya. The reason why they do that is because Mutazilis (one of Muslim heretical groups) made this distinction and taught that only adjectives can be applied to Allah and nouns cannot. Ashariyya and Maturidiyya teach that both adjectives and nouns can be applied to Allah.

Thus, they speak of 20 necessary attributes of Allah:
1. Existence
2. Eternity without beginning
3. Existence without end
4. Difference from everything
5. Self-existence, independence from everything and everybody
6. Being the only one
7. Omnipotence
8. Will
9. Omniscience
10. Life
11. All-hearing (noun)
12. All-seeing (noun)
13. Speech
14. Omnipotent
15. Willing
16. Omniscient
17. Living
18. All-hearing (adjective)
19. All-seeing (adjective)
20. Speaking

They also speak of 20 attributes that are impossible for Allah (these 20 attributes are the oppositions of the 20 necessary attributes):
1. Non-existence
2. Beginning
3. End
4. Likeness to something or somebody
5. Dependence on something or somebody
6. Being more than one
7. Absence of omnipotence
8. Absence of will for something
9. Absence of knowledge about something
10. Absence of life
11. Absence of all-hearing
12. Absence of all-seeing
13. Absence of speech
14. Not omnipotent
15. Not having will
16. Not knowing something
17. Not living
18. Not hearing anything
19. Not seeing anything
20. Not speaking

The Trinity

Christians believe in Trinity, Muslims reject this doctrine completely because they think that it is polytheism (shirk). However, polytheism is faith in more than one God while Christians are monotheists (believe that there is only one God). Actually, the doctrine of the Trinity does not contradict biblical monotheism.

Even though the doctrine of Trinity is biblical, there is no Bible verse that clearly teaches about Trinity. This doctrine is based on several verses and the logical conclusions from them.

In several Bible verses, it is said that God is one, for example:

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. (Deuteronomy 6:4, New International Version)

The Bible also says that there are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit:

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19)

The Father, the Son, and the Spirit exist at the same time:

16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him.
17 And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased." (Matthew 3:16-17)

Then, the Bible say that the Father is God:

Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval. (John 6:27)

1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To God's elect, strangers in the world, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,
2 who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance. (1 Peter 1:1-2)

The Bible says that the Son (Christ) is God:

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:1-2, 14)

Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised! (Romans 9:5)

The Bible also says that the Holy Spirit is God:

3 Then Peter said, "Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?
4 Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied to men but to God." (Acts 5:3-4)

So, the Bible says that there is one God and also that the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. It also says that the Father, the Son, and the Spirit exist at the same time. The doctrine of Trinity is the logical conclusion made from all these statements.

The Athanasian Creed contains a very detailed description of the Trinity:

Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the catholic faith [the term "catholic" in its usage is not a reference to the Roman Catholic Church, but is a reference to the universal (catholic) faith since that is how the term was originally used]. Which faith except everyone do keep whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly. And the catholic faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity, neither confounding the persons, nor dividing the substance.

For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Spirit. But the godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, is all one, the glory equal, the majesty co-eternal.

Such as the Father is, such is the Son, and such is the Holy Spirit. The Father uncreated, the Son uncreated, and the Holy Spirit uncreated. The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible, and the Holy Spirit incomprehensible.

The Father eternal, the Son eternal, and the Holy Spirit eternal. And yet they are not three eternals, but one Eternal.

As also there are not three incomprehensibles, nor three uncreated, but one Uncreated, and one Incomprehensible. So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty, and the Holy Spirit Almighty. And yet they are not three almighties, but one Almighty.

So the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. And yet they are not three gods, but one God.

So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord, and the Holy Spirit Lord. And yet not three lords, but one Lord.

For as we are compelled by the Christian verity to acknowledge each Person by Himself to be both God and Lord, so we are also forbidden by the catholic religion to say that there are three gods or three lords.

The Father is made of none, neither created, nor begotten. The Son is of the Father alone, not made, nor created, but begotten. The Holy Spirit is of the Father, neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding.

So there is one Father, not three fathers; one Son, not three sons; one Holy Spirit, not three holy spirits.

And in the Trinity none is before or after another; none is greater or less than another, but all three Persons are co-eternal together and co-equal. So that in all things, as is aforesaid, the Unity in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity is to be worshipped.

He therefore that will be saved must think thus of the Trinity.

Qur'an completely denies Trinity. However, Qur'anic concept of Trinity is different from the Christian concept:

73 They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One Allah. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them.
116 And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden. (5:73, 116, Yusufali's translation)

According to Qur'an, Trinity is Jesus, Mary, and Allah. It is true that the Roman Catholic Church and oriental Orthodox churches have some tendency to deify Mary. However, they do not consider her as goddess and do not include her into the Trinity. In principle, it is possible that some Christians who lived in Arabia at the time of Muhammad did that. However, this is not was the orthodox Christian doctrine of the Trinity is. According to the orthodox Christian teaching, the Trinity is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and this is one God. Actually, Qur'anic version of the Trinity as three gods - Jesus, Mary, and Allah - is polytheism (shirk). According to the Bible, Mary is not a goddess. She is a human being.

Also, Qur'anic version of the Trinity does not include the Holy Spirit. It is because in Qur'an the holy spirit is one of the names of angel Jibril (Jabrail) - biblical Gabriel.

What Qur'an and the Bible Say about Jesus

Jesus Christ in Arabic is Isa Masih. This is his name in Qur'an. He is also called Isa bin Mariam (Jesus son of Mary) because Qur'an says that he did not have a father. Qur'an denies that Jesus is God:

72 They do blaspheme who say: "Allah is Christ the son of Mary." But said Christ: "O Children of Israel! worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Whoever joins other gods with Allah,- Allah will forbid him the garden, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrong-doers be no one to help.
73 They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One Allah. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them.
74 Why turn they not to Allah, and seek His forgiveness? For Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
75 Christ the son of Mary was no more than a messenger; many were the messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how Allah doth make His signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth! (5:72-75, Yusufali's translation))

116 And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden.
117 "Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say, to wit, 'worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord'; and I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt amongst them; when Thou didst take me up Thou wast the Watcher over them, and Thou art a witness to all things. (5:116-117, Yusufali's translation)

Qur'an says that Jesus was a man and messanger of Allah. Moreover, Qur'an includes him into the number of the five greatest prophets:

And remember We took from the prophets their covenant: As (We did) from thee: from Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus the son of Mary: We took from them a solemn covenant. (33:7)

The same religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah - the which We have sent by inspiration to thee - and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: Namely, that ye should remain steadfast in religion, and make no divisions therein: to those who worship other things than Allah, hard is the (way) to which thou callest them. Allah chooses to Himself those whom He pleases, and guides to Himself those who turn (to Him). (42:13)

Muslim theologians say that these two ayas (verses) indicate that Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad were the greatest prophets.

Qur'an says that Jesus did not have a father and Mary was a virgin:

45 Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah;
46 "He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And he shall be (of the company) of the righteous."
47 She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: Allah createth what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, 'Be,' and it is! (3:45-47)

According to Qur'an, Jesus was not crucified:

157 That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-
158 Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise. (4:157-158)

According to Qur'an, Jesus did not die and is still alive on the heavens (this is how Muslim theologians interpret the following aya):

Behold! Allah said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee superior to those who reject faith, to the Day of Resurrection: Then shall ye all return unto me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute. (3:55)

Moreover, according to Qur'an, Jesus will come back before the Day of Judgment:

And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow ye Me: this is a Straight Way. (43:61)

There are also many hadiths about Jesus' second coming that give many details.

Comparing what Qur'an and the Bible say about Jesus, it is important to mention that the Bible says that Jesus is not only man, but also God:

For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. (1 Timothy 2:5, New International Version)

Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised! (Romans 9:5)

The Bible says that Jesus was not only born of a virgin, but also born of the Holy Spirit who is God:

18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 1:18-20)

The Bible says that Jesus was crucified, resurrected, ascended, and will come back:

3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)

9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.
10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
11 "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven." (Acts 1:9-11)
