Is Kinoingan or Kinorohingan a right term for the God of the Bible?

Of late, the question whether the term "Allah" could be also used to refer to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as well as it is commonly understood to refer to the god of the Muslim, had been a topic of hot debate, after the Civil Court of Appeal in Malaysia ruled that it's exclusive use by Muslims only. As a side issue is also the use of "Kinoingan (which means Name above all names)" or 'Kinorohingan - the Ancient or Elderly One" to refer to YHVH ELOHIM (Lord God)- a unique name for the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of the Christian bible. A local writer, Raymond Tombung, a young born-again believer, had written in the local media, expressing his own version that Kinoringan (lotud version) (Kinoingan - Tangaa spelling) that it refers to a pagan diety, connected with another diety called Huminodun and Suminundu, who lived on the top of Mt. Kinabalu. Of course, he is partly correct but he had not taken into consideration, or is just to prejudiced to acknowledge, that the Kadazan Bobohizan/Bobolian original intention was to seek the presence of Creator God (Kinoingan Minamangun) to atone for the sins of the Kadazans through blood sacrifice, but lacking the written Word of God, had through the ages been deceived to instead offer them to demons and evil spirits to appease them instead. Based on some bible commentators, when God thundered His laws to Moses and the Israelite on Mt. Sinai 3,500 years ago, the whole world comprising of 70 nations at that time heard it. One of these 70 nations is the grandparents of the Kadazan.  

In another article, produced below, God revealed Himself in 4 primary ways, two of which are through His creation and Conscience given to man. Four Ways God Has Revealed Himself Lecture notes by Charlie Campbell Director of The Always Be Ready Apologetics Ministry Twitter: @CharlieABReady God has revealed Himself to mankind in a variety of ways. 

Here, in a concise manner, are four of the main ways:  

1. CREATION Psalm 19:1-4 "The heavens tell of the glory of God. The skies display His marvelous craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make Him known. They speak without a sound or a word; their voice is silent in the skies; yet their message has gone out to all the earth, and their words to all the world..." Romans 1:20 "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse." Have you ever stopped to think about this? Verse 20 says that God's invisible attributes, and divine nature, have been clearly seen (v.20)." The Bible says that man, by simply contemplating creation itself, can come to an understanding of certain aspects of God's personality or attributes! In fact, His attributes are clearly seen. Q. What are some of the attributes of God that you think are clearly seen (apart from the Scriptural revelation) just by looking at creation? I think it is safe to conclude (even apart from the Scriptures) that God must be... 

 A. POWERFUL 

 When one considers the vast oceans, the majestic mountain peaks, the enormity of the earth and the incomprehensible size of the stars and the billions of galaxies, it is easy to discern that God must be incredibly powerful. 

 B. INTELLIGENT 

 When one examines the intricate design and harmony all around us or the irreducibly complex interior of a cell or the code embedded in the DNA, it is easy to conclude that God must be incredibly intelligent. 

 C. CREATIVE 

 Think of the millions of kinds of animals, and reptiles, bugs, fish. There are at least 10 million species of insects (The U.S. Natural Museum). 

 D. PERSONAL 

 If we can communicate, if we can hear and see, then surely our Creator who made the ear and the eye can hear and see also. Psalm 94:8-9 "Understand, you senseless among the people; And you fools, when will you be wise? He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see? (NKJV) 'Can't you discern,' he says, 'that if you can hear and see, that the God who made you must also be able to do so?' 

 E. KIND and GRACIOUS 

 In Acts 14:17, Paul said that God.... "...did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good and gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness." 

 F. RIGHTEOUS 

 Our conscience (which is something that Paul brings up in Romans 2) and the convicting work of the Holy Spirit, reveals to us that God is righteous. My conscience tells me that God is right, and I am guilty when I've sinned against His laws. The Holy Spirit convicts of sin, and righteousness, and judgment. Secondly, God has revealed Himself, to some degree, through and in man's: 

 2. CONSCIENCE 

 Romans 2:14-15 "For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, 15 in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them..." God has programmed every individual to know that certain things are right and certain things are wrong regardless of whether the laws are put into legislation by human governments. The existence of these moral laws points man to a Moral Lawgiver that transcends (or is over and above) human governments and man made laws. Both testimony of creation and conscience fall under the heading of: General Revelation. General revelation refers to God's revelation that reaches all people, of all times, in every culture. God has also revealed Himself to man through: 

 3. CHRIST 

 The Bible teaches that Jesus was God incarnate (e.g., John 1:1, 5:18, 8:58). Hebrews 1:1-2 "God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by [What?] His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds..." John 1:18 "The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him." (or as the NIV says, made Him known.) John 14:9 "If you have seen me you have seen the Father." God has also, fourthly, revealed Himself to man through: 

 4. THE CANON OF SCRIPTURE 

 The word, canon means standard. By canon then I am referring to the standard collection of 66 books that make up the Bible, God's holy Word. The Scriptures reveal to us that God exists, what He is like, what His will is for us, and even some of His dealings with people in the past. John said, "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name" (John 20:31). And the Bible not only claims to be the Word of God but it demonstrates itself to be the Word of God with its numerous fulfilled prophecies, amazing unity, and scientific accuracy and foresight

Operation Pillar of Defence - by Israel

Hamas Left Israel No Choice but to Strike
By MICHAEL OREN


CRITICS of Israel’s campaign to defend millions of its citizens from deadly Hamas rocket fire claim that it lacks a clear objective. Israel has bombed Gaza in the past, they argue, and received only rockets in return. Is there any logic, much less an end, to the cycle of violence? Can it lead to negotiations and peace?

Such questions can be answered only by going back to the origin of the campaign that we Israelis now call Operation Pillar of Defense. It did not begin last week, after Hamas fired more than 700 rockets at southern Israel this year; nor did it start four years ago, as Israel acted to stop thousands of terrorist rockets striking its south. It did not even begin in 2005, when Israel uprooted 21 of its Gaza settlements, together with their 9,000 Israeli residents, to advance peace, and received only Hamas terrorism in return. Rather, the operation began on May 14, 1948, the day Arab forces moved to destroy the newly declared state of Israel.

There were no settlements back then, and the West Bank and East Jerusalem were in Jordanian hands. Yet the very notion of a sovereign Jewish state in the Middle East was abhorrent to the Arabs, many of whom were inflamed by religious extremism. They rebuffed repeated Israeli offers of peace, and instead launched a war of national annihilation. Israel had no choice but to defend itself, losing 1 percent of its population — the equivalent of 3.1 million Americans today — before achieving an armistice.

But few Israelis mistook that truce for peace. On the contrary, most assumed that the Arabs would eventually forget their defeat and seek a “second round.” Indeed, eight years later, in 1956, Israeli and Arab forces again clashed, and then fought again in 1967, 1973 and 1982. The periods in between were punctuated by Arab attacks and Israeli retaliations. Subsequently, in Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza, Israel mounted major counterstrikes against terrorists dedicated to its destruction.

Throughout, Israelis never abandoned the vision of peace. Still, we came to understand that the cause of the conflict was not borders or even refugees but the same hatred of Jewish statehood that drove the Arabs to invade us in 1948. We understood that our enemies required periodic reminders of the prohibitive price they would pay for murdering our families. We also understood that defending ourselves incurred economic, diplomatic and human costs, yet there was no practical or moral alternative. The tactic is deterrence. Our strategy is survival.

Negotiations leading to peace can be realistic with an adversary who shares that goal. But Hamas, whose covenant calls for the slaughter of Jews worldwide, is striving not to join peace talks, but to prevent them. It rejects Israel’s existence, refuses to eschew terror, and disavows all previous Israeli-Palestinian agreements — the terms established by the United States and the other members of the so-called quartet of Middle East peacemakers for participation in the peace process. Bound by its genocidal theology and crude anti-Semitism, Hamas cannot be induced to make peace. But it can be deterred from war.

This was the case with Hezbollah in Lebanon. Like Hamas, Hezbollah is an Islamist organization committed to Israel’s demise. It, too, ambushed Israeli soldiers on our side of the border and rained rockets on Israeli towns. Then, in 2006, Israel struck back, destroying much of Hezbollah’s military infrastructure, neutralizing its long-range missiles, and killing hundreds of terrorists. Hezbollah internalized the message, and since then its missiles have remained inert. The people of northern Israel, meanwhile, have enjoyed six of their quietest years ever.

This does not mean that the tactics of deterrence and the strategy of survival cannot result in peace. Egypt and Jordan tried more than once to defeat Israel militarily, only to recognize the permanence of the Jewish state and to sign peace accords with it. Similarly, the Palestine Liberation Organization, guided by nationalism rather than militant theology, realized it could gain more by talking with Israel than by battling us. The result was the 1993 Oslo Accords, the foundation for what we still hope will be a two-state solution. By establishing deterrence, Israel led these rational actors toward peace.

Unfortunately, Hamas is not rational. It targets Israeli civilians while hiding behind its own. During a campaign of murder and kidnapping in 2006 and 2007, it gunned down members of its rival, Al Fatah, in the streets. Its covenant says Christians and Jews “must desist from struggling against Islam over sovereignty in this region”; under its rule, militants firebombed a Christian bookshop. It celebrated 9/11 and mourned the death of Osama bin Laden. We hope some day to persuade its leaders to make peace with us, but until then we must convince them of the exorbitant price of aggression.

Back in 1948, we envisaged a future of security, prosperity and mutual respect with our neighbors. We still cling to that dream. But we must also remain vigilant and, occasionally, neutralize the rockets and combat the terrorists that target us. President Obama said Sunday in Bangkok that “we’re fully supportive of Israel’s right to defend itself from missiles landing on people’s homes and workplaces and potentially killing civilians, and we will continue to support Israel’s right to defend itself.” Earlier in the trip, his deputy national security adviser, Benjamin Rhodes, said that Israelis would “make their own decisions about the tactics they use.” Those tactics, together with our survival strategy, have helped us to create one of the world’s most vibrant and innovative societies, while enabling us to pursue peace.

A proud and happy father giving away his beloved

What a moment to cherish when you walk your beloved daughter along the aisle to be given to the prospective husband, the future son-in-law, where as the head of the family, when God's word is honored and obeyed, the couple receives blessing and protection, and the marriage is under the loving and tender care of our Heavenly Father.
Proverbs 30:17 "The eye that mocks a father .......will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley, will be eaten by the vultures.
Through the influence of a Jezebelic mother, my daughter took to the street and staged a silent war against her father, shouting to him like he is a criminal of some sort, got married without even informing him but God's word was faithful and sooner or later, her marriage started to crumble.
Just praying that she recognized her folly and repent, come back to being an obedient daughter before it is too late.

Russia's Resistance

Except for the intervention of Russia, the global elites could have started a war between Irag and Israel which was planned centuries ago to trigger War 111, that was intended to establish the New Word Order, in which the United Nation will be playing the central role, in asserting the Luciferian agenda of global domination and control through a one world government, one world religion, one world economic/financial system.
