The problem with an over active imagination.............

Is that you confuse what is real with the many hypotheses that pop into your mind and by doing so, obliterate what is real. A good example is your post where you establish equivalency in Allah, Jahveh, Jehovah.

Jehovah is a name made up in the 15th century when the King James version of the Bible was set in print. The name didn't exist before. The Europeans mind couldn't conceive of a name without vowels, so JHVH became JeHoVaH.

It is difficult to see how you could convert the dualistic religion of Babylon into a Judeo-Christian-Muslim context. Ahura Mazda (no, not a car) was God to the Babylonians along with his opposite number Arehim. This new concept of good warring with evil was picked up an incorporated by the Jews during the diaspora.

In short, your analysis in this matter has no factuality or reality. BTW, JHVH was too holy to be pronounced, so scholars that set themselves outside the restraints of the holy would discuss Jahveh Vod Hey. I assume this is where you are getting "Jahveh."

And it was the angel Gabriel that dictated Koran to Mohammed. To dispute this you must a) not believe in angels, or b) impose your position that Mohammed was delusional, or c) have the arrogance of rejecting something you do not believe based on your faith with full knowledge you cannot disprove it.

Takking any of these positions would be foolish.
