Abba or Allah

To refer to Allah as 'Abba' is pure anthropomorphism. It is assigning a sexual gender to the Lord of the Worlds. Allah is not father or mother, He is the Great, Holy, and Pure.
That was also my view when I made the first post.
But now I think its acceptabel due to its apperance and usage in Torah.
The "title" is used in Isaiah 6316.
So I don?t think its right to assume as you do. -

So I don?t think its right to assume as you do.It's usage in the Torah is allegorical due to the nature of the Hebrew language. However, Allah is never referred to as father in the Quran, and that is sufficient for the believers.

Why its this sufficient?
The Torah is confirmed by Jesus (5.46). And in this we have the usage of the word "Father"

What about "Mother"? The Mormon religion actually says God has a Wife and she is the 'Eternal Mother'. They use the Torah as proof that how can someone be a Father unless he has a wife who is a mother?
It's impossible that there is a father but no mother.

Of cause its possible due to nothing is impossible for God.
But anyway. I think the term "Father" is used in the meaning "Father of a nation."
The Mormons make their own conclusions. These have never been authorized.

Father of a nation is a term, and so is Mother of a nation. So we're back to square one.
You say that nothing is impossible for God. Based on this I have two questions
-
Is it possible for God to create another God who is superior and greater than Him? (God Forbid)
-
Is it possible for God to break his promise, lie, or deceive? (God Forbid)

No we are not. Mother have never been confirmed in HQ.

In the theory nothing is Impossible. So only God know.
Our own conclusions wouldn?t leed us anywhere.But here are my own simple thoughts. Wich only should be seen as so
- I think in the Theory God Could create something greater. But that would again be Him selves.
So again its a defenition of Him.
2.Offcouse God could lie . But when he said he woudln?t we must trust this (but in the theory this could also be a lie).

Here is one I thought long time aboutIs it possible for God to create such big stone he couldn?t carry.
But I think we now really getting off-topic. Or??

Well you've already answered my questions. You said it is theoretically possible for God to create another God who is greater than Him, and you said it's theoretically possible for God to lie.
Therefore I say to you
For you your religion, and for me my religion.
I do not worship what you worship, nor do you worship Who I worship.

Those were loaded questions, and it seems that they were not intended as legitimate (and off topic) questions, but as traps. Answer your own questions if you are honest--then others can metaphorically throw rocks at you!
Do you dispute that Heavenly Father is a potentially beautiful name? It is a term that could not be applied to any other than ALLAH. If you don't like the term, don't use it.
Your opinions pertaining to the Deen are valued with the exact same weight given to any extra-Qur'anic hadith. You can keep your hadith and traditions, and continue to follow what you found your forebears doing. Good luck with that; enjoy this life! )

Oh, this one is easy; the Almighty simply moves all else of creation around the stone; the stone is moved without moving.

I like the idea.
But are you sure that this mean that that stone has been moved/lifted?
Actually I think it havn?t been moved. But only the rest.

In other words . . . the Bible which Quran openly calls as corrupt . . . that you would follow? Yet those are the exact same people who transmitted Quran and those who transmitted Hadith.
Do you dispute that Heavenly Father is a potentially beautiful name?
Yes. If it was that good . . . Quran would have used it. As there are many names already given for the Almighty . . . why do you need extra?
This is but another example . . . how quickly "Quran only" shun the Quran.

Muhammed isn?t the only messenger. Isaiah also was one.
He use the word "Father".
For the conclusion leading us there. Please read my earlier posts to you

There is no Isaiah mentioned in the Quran - or even in Hadith attributed to the Prophet Muhammad .

But Isaiah is in the Torah.
And conserning Torah I quoted this passage earlier to you
546 And We sent in their footsteps Jesus, son of Mary, authenticating what was present with him of the Torah -

Muslim sources actually do accept him . . . however I would take such extra-Quran material with a pinch of salt.

Another thing to keep in mind is that Quran does make Torah obsolete - the whole point of new revelations is to replace older ones.
