hello. . my father raised me to believe in yahweh although his father and mother called him jesus. we celebrated the feast of tabernacles while they celebrated christmas ect. there was a lot of his family that stoped talking to us. this put a lot of hurtful memories for me. I agree on the thought that our creator would want us to be peace full and not one sided. the negative comment on allah really disapoints me . there is a difference between explaining your beliefs and pushing them. so many people have turned away from all forms of faith because they were forced into hearing one sided slanders .

I personally love the name yahweh because my father searched and felt it was right in his heart. but i do not believe anyone should try to force it upon others . and i personally feel that there are several religions who share common belief . we are all searching and should listen to each other. you can do this and remain firm in your own but i am sorry for any slurs that have occured in yahweh's name. I'm sure they were trying to do a good cause but didn't understand how to go about it. any way I was very happy to hear what you had to say . the similarities between various religions is always astonishing to me.
