What is the Judeo-Christian-Islamic name of the Creator?

The Holy Bible-Qur'an names YHWH Allah.

YHWH Allah = LORD God?

Intransigent Atheist

When I was a Catholic I always heard Yahweh.

I think that would depend on whether you're a jew, muslim or christian.

Honestly I do not believe that all versions of the Abrahamic god are the same, many religion's characterizations of it are contradictory. I treat them each as seperate gods, given that the jews are still awaiting their Messiah on an ass and the Muslims disagree on the divinity of Jesus.

But then again, I treat all versions of a god that are mutually exclusive as separate conceptions.

A Binational Israel-Palestine

In South Africa, once supporters of apartheid figured out that no amount of repressing or fencing off blacks and no amount of punishing military raids against the country's neighbors could bring them peace, they finally settled for that good old standby of democracies: a one-person-one-vote system within a unitary state.

That wasn't an easy decision for white - or black - South Africans. On both sides there were centuries of hostility and harm to overcome before they could accept the "other" kind of folk as fellow-citizens. But by 1990, the situation had become intolerable - for white as well as black South Africans. The country's transformation to democracy was difficult for some, and, as in all democracies, problems remain. But in general, it was overwhelmingly successful and deeply inspiring.

So why not in Israel-Palestine? If Israeli settlers want to stay in the West Bank - let them stay! But if they want to stay there and be part of a community built on long-term peace, then they cannot refuse to give equal rights within the whole of an expanded state of Israel-Palestine to all Palestinians who want to be a part of it.

The end of the dream of a monocultural "Jewish state"? Yes. But in the Holy Land, as in South Africa, it could be the start of a hopeful new chapter in human history. For Jewish Israelis, as for Afrikaans-speaking and English-speaking South Africans, they could still be living in a multicultural state in which their language, their culture, and their religion would be fully embraced.

The idea of a binational (Hebrew-Arabic) state in historic Palestine was first proposed in the 1930s by Jewish thinkers like Martin Buber and Judah Magness. Now, increasing numbers of intellectuals on both sides are discussing it anew.

At a time of so much despair in the Middle East, this idea - based on the deepest concepts of human equality and respect among peoples - might give us all fresh hope.

YHWH Allah = LORD God

Iriemon

The God of Abraham is the same for Jews, Christians and Muslims. They put different spin on his character and how He manifested Himself through prophets or Jesus.

My only point is that the name Allah is strictly an Arabic/Islamic convention.
