Is the God of Christians identical with the Allah of Muslims?

In 1965, the Second Vatican Council declared a heresy about the Christian God and the Muslim Allah being one and the same.

Quotation from Vatican II (Nostra Aetate): “The Church has also a high regard for the Muslims. They worship God, who is the One…”

Response: The Church always had a horror of the bloody Islamic invasion rather than a regard for it. A radical change took place at the Council. Instead of emphasizing the need for prudence, the Council emphasized a suicidal regard, and even voted on and declared a heresy saying that the God of Christians, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, is supposedly bloodthirsty Allah! This is a lie and blasphemy! One cannot vote on what is and what is not true! You cannot vote on whether someone is dead or alive. Vote does not change the reality! The Council’s wicked heresy about the God of Christians being identical with the Allah of Muslims denied the fundamental truth of the faith and deceived all Catholics!

Quotation: “…(God) the Living and the Self-Subsistent.”

Response: The essential feature of the true Lord God is that He is self-subsistent. Allah is not the true God. He is not self-subsistent; he is a pagan god of moon identified in Mecca as the highest of the 360 gods.

When Moses asked the Lord what His name was, God replied, “I Am Who I Am” (YHWH), so He alone is subsistent in Himself and does not have a beginning from anyone. And to say the same about the pagan god Allah through the mouth of the Council is a colossal heresy. It is as if the Council said: “God and a demon is one and the same.” And this is blasphemy calling for a curse! Furthermore, it means destruction of whole Christianity at the root, a spiritual suicide.

Quotation: “They worship God, who is … merciful…”

Response: To decorate a demon thirsty for human blood with the basic features of the Holy God is blasphemy! Quotation from the Koran: “And kill them wherever you meet them … fight them: such is the requital for the disbelievers.” (2:192) “…that they be slain or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on alternate sides, or they be expelled from the land.” (5:34) “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Smite, then, the upper parts of their necks, and smite off all finger-tips!” (8:13)

Quotation: “They worship God, who is … almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, who has also spoken to humanity.”

Response: Allah – a moon god – is not the Almighty God, the Creator of heaven and earth. God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, is the Almighty God, the Creator of heaven and earth. Masons at the 33rd degree dedicate themselves to Satan. They say about him that he is the Great Architect of the Universe (Creator). But this Creator, like Allah, is no God and no Creator!

Heretical bishops and theologians, along with the Masons and Muslims, deny the true God because they do not confess the Divinity of Christ (1Jn 2:23). They promote a heresy about the same god, but they omit to say that it is the devil.

Allah, as a pagan god of moon, was considered the highest of 360 pagan gods worshipped in Mecca. “Allah akbar” does not only mean great but indicates that he is the highest, higher than the other 360 pagan gods – demons. The highest demon, as we know, is the devil. He is that old serpent (Gen 3:13) and Satan (Rev 20:2). Hypocritical peace prayers with pagans and Muslims as well as the so-called interreligious dialogue with them is a safe way to permanent union in Hades (hell).

Quotation: “They endeavour to submit themselves without reserve to the hidden decrees of God, just as Abraham submitted himself to God’s plan, to whose faith Muslims eagerly link their own.”

Response: The heaviest crimes to be committed by Muslims are promoted by the words of the Koran: “You killed them not, but it was Allah who killed them” (8:17) – so you are free to murder and kill, and you need not feel remorse, because it is Allah who kills. If Muslims submit themselves without reserve to this satanic spirit of death, the fruit is fanaticism, terrorism and genocide in virtue of obedience to the will of Allah. Regarding Abraham, the Jews also appealed to him. Jesus said to them: “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham. But now you seek to kill Me… Abraham did not do this… You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and there is no truth in him…” (Jn 8:39ff) Muslims are commanded to kill Christians and disbelievers. So who is their father?

Quotation: “Although not acknowledging Him as God, they venerate Jesus as a prophet.”

Response: Muslims do not acknowledge Jesus as God – this colossal heresy was treated at the Council as a marginal issue! But this denies the very essence of Christianity and of our salvation! So-called veneration of Jesus as a prophet, and what is more, lower than the false prophet Muhammad, is a gross insult to our God and Saviour.

The Council created a new heretical antidogma which the Catholic believers cannot doubt because it is the teaching of the Council. What to do? We either believe the heresy of the Council, or profess the fundamental truths of our faith rooted in the Gospel and Sacred Tradition. In addition, the Council not only declared the heresies theoretically but also created the conditions for Christianity to change over to practical neo-paganism! Before the Council, mission brought pagans to Christ and thus to salvation. The Council showed another way – the opposite one! The solution is true repentance: to admit that the Council declared heresies and to recant them!

Quotation: “…His virgin Mother they also honour, and even at times devoutly invoke.”

Response: Such honour is false. How can they honour the Mother of Jesus, who is the Mother of God, and deny the Divinity of Jesus Christ at the same time? This is religious schizophrenia and false honour.

Quotation: “Further, they await the day of judgment and the reward of God following the resurrection of the dead.”

Response: Speaking about God’s judgment, the resurrection and the reward, immoralities presented by Muhammad as virtues will prove to be immoralities, and crimes presented by Muhammad as the will of Allah will prove to be crimes. Unless their perpetrators admit that they have committed a crime and receive Jesus as their Saviour, they reject God’s mercy and God’s justice will fall upon them.

Quotation: “For this reason they highly esteem an upright life…”

Response: Muhammad had nine or more wives, some of whom were only 7 or 9 years old. Moreover, he had a large number of concubines. If the Council calls this “high esteem for an upright life”, it has nothing to do with basic morals, and certainly not with God’s commandments. And if it considers the cutting of heads of Christians or other “Kafirs”, spreading of the faith by the sword, bomb attacks, air strikes and systematic terrorism as “high esteem for an upright life”, this Council is heretical not only in matters of faith but also of morals.

Quotation: “Over the centuries many quarrels and dissensions have arisen between Christians and Muslims. The sacred council now pleads with all to forget the past…”

Response: We ask: Who is responsible for “many quarrels and dissensions between Christians and Muslims”? Muslims or Christians? Who was the aggressor and who was the victim? What was the fault of Armenian Christians when the Turks carried out their genocide in 1915?

As for the present, Muslims settle on Christian territories and introduce Sharia law, and even if the State refuses to officially approve it, this law must be respected. Christians on Islamic territory are persecuted, killed and have no rights. The fruit of a “regard for Muslims” after the Council is that Muslims have built hundreds of mosques on the Christian territory, but allowed no church or monastery to be built on their territory. Even some of the old churches have been destroyed in terrorist attacks, resulting in casualties too.

Quotation: “…and urges that a sincere effort be made to achieve mutual understanding; for the benefit of all, let them together preserve and promote peace, liberty, social justice and moral values.”

Response: This phrase is a travesty. What mutual understanding is it when an Islamist threatens to cut a Christian’s throat unless he denies the Christian faith?! What social justice? In Pakistan or Saudi Arabia, a person can be sentenced to death just for having a Bible, and a Christian is regarded as a slave. What moral values? Immorality and the killing of Christians are considered a virtue. What peace? The programme given by Muhammad is the so-called holy war – jihad. What liberty for the benefit of all? A Kafir has no right, no freedoms, not even the right of a beggar to alms.

What should now the church leaders, who deceived the people, do? Repent! What is repentance? To admit publicly that they preached heresies and to start to proclaim the truths of the faith. As for the Muslims, according to the Gospel, we are obliged to preach Christ and the way of salvation to them, even at the price of martyrdom!
