(٢٠)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?THE USE OF THE DIVINITY AND LORDSHIPTERMS IN THE BIBLECalling Jesus (PBUH), “lord" or "god” is not evidence of his divinity,for they are commonly in use in the Holy Bible. The Holy Bible usesthese two words to name many creatures, among them are theangels.In the Book of Judges, we read, “The angel of the LORDappeared no more to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoahknew that he was the angel of the LORD. And Manoah saidto his wife, "We shall surely die, for we have seen God." ”(Judges 13:21-22) (ESV), but he meant “the angel of Allah (S.W)”.Allah’s (S.W) angel appeared to Sarah and gave her good newsabout Isaac. “And the angel of the LORD said to her… shecalled the name of the LORD that spoke to her, ‘you are theGod of seeing.’ (Gen. 16:11-13)Another example is in the Book of Exodus, which talks about theangel who accompanied the Israelites when they departed fromEgypt and the passage calls him god. “And the LORD wentbefore them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them alongthe way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light;that they might travel by day and night…. And the angel ofGod, which went before the camp of Israel, removed andwent behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went frombefore their face, and stood behind them.”(Ex.13:21, 14:19)The Torah also gives these names to some prophets, but it does notmean the real meaning of the word. Allah (S.W) spoke to Mosesregarding Aaron (PBUT), “He will be to you as a mouth and youwill be to him as God.” (Ex.4:16) (ESV), “And the LORD saidto Moses, see, I have made you a god to Pharaoh: and Aaronyour brother shall be your prophet.” (Ex. 7:1)The prophets named Gods in the Torah metaphorically, and it meant“messengers of God”, as mentioned in the First Book of Samuel,“(Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God,he said, "Come, let us go to the seer," for today's "prophet"was formerly called a seer.) ” (Sam.1 9:9)
