Resolving an unresolvable issue

Hence is there only one Rabb or many Rabbs? And if there were only one Rabb then the Christians would share the Rabb of the Muslims. And since we have only one Rabb and we all share the same Rabb and this Rabb is called Allah then the Rabb of the Christians is also called Allah.
NO HOLDS BARRED

How will the court rule regarding the ‘Allah’ word issue? I really don’t know but one thing I do know is that it can never be resolved. And it can never be resolved because we are using man-made laws to try to resolve what many perceive as God’s laws. And the ‘Father Lord’ and ‘Mother Justice’ are in conflict about the meaning of justice
Mother Justice is having a whooper of a headache trying to balance between man-made laws and God’s laws
The dispute regarding the Bahasa Malaysia translation for God would have to depend on how you perceive the matter. ‘God’ is the English word while ‘Tuhan’ is the Malay word and the Arabic word is ‘Rabb’ (meaning Lord) or 'Ilahi' (meaning 'the one God'). Lord is specific while God is not. Hence if you want to use the Malay or Arabic word for God (Lord) it would have to be ‘Tuhan’ or ‘Rabb’.
The Malaysian Christians, however, want the court to rule that the Malay word for ‘Tuhan’ that will be used in the Bahasa Malaysia translation of the Bible is ‘Allah’.
And herein lies the conflict.
‘Jesus’ is the name of the Christian Prophet. The Muslims call him ‘Isa’. But then the Christians also call him ‘Christ’. But there is no Muslim translation for ‘Christ’ so the Muslims do not use ‘Christ’. They call him ‘Nabi Isa’.
So Jesus is ‘Christ’ and God is ‘Lord’ for the Christians. But ‘Lord’ is ‘Tuan’ in Bahasa Malaysia (ever hear the Chinese use the term ‘Tuan Allah’). Hence ‘Tuhan’ is ‘Tuan’ just as ‘God’ is ‘Lord’. But the Muslims call God ‘Allah’ and not ‘Tuan’. And now the Christians also want to call God ‘Allah’ and not ‘Tuan’ (Lord).
So how do we get the court to resolve an unresolvable issue? If the court rules that the Christians can use ‘Allah’ for Lord the Muslims will not accept that and will get upset. If the court rules that the Christians cannot use ‘Allah’ for Lord then the Christians will not accept that and will say the court is biased and not independent.
Either way one party is going to go away upset like hell (and why do we use ‘hell’ to describe upset?).
Now, the Muslims believe that Adam, Enoch, Noah, Hud, Saleh, Abraham, Lot, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Jethro, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Elias, Elisha, Jonah, Ezekiel, Zecharia, John, Jesus, and Muhammad -- all the 25 Prophets named in the Qur’an -- are Muslims (as were the 124,000 other Prophets not named in the Qur’an). Hence, according to Islam, Jesus was a Muslim.
The Muslims also believe that there is only one Rabb and that this Rabb is named Allah. So Allah is everyone’s Rabb since the time of the first Prophet, Adam.
Now, if I were to apply logic rather than theology or law to this argument (since I am neither a theologian nor a lawyer), I would come to a conclusion that Allah is also the Rabb of the Christians. If Allah is NOT the Rabb of the Christians and that the Christians have another or different Rabb, then the Muslims are wrong about there being only one Rabb. There would be more than one Rabb.
And this belief violates the doctrine of Islam and it would destroy your akidah if you say this or believe this.
Hence is there only one Rabb or many Rabbs? And if there were only one Rabb then the Christians would share the Rabb of the Muslims. And since we have only one Rabb and we all share the same Rabb and this Rabb is called Allah then the Rabb of the Christians is also called Allah.
But then, as I said, I am not a theologian or a lawyer. So ignore what I say because what I say is based only on logic. And logic cannot be applied in matters concerning religion because if it were then you will never believe in any religion since all religions defy logic.
