Zone1 Arab Christians pray to Allah, because Allah is the Arab word for God

[Unkotare]

Did you know?

It is true.

Of course.

 

[Zebra]

Then they are not Christians. We call the Christian God, the God of Abraham. I've been a Christian all my life and never once directed a prayer to Allah. Allah the exact opposite of the God that Christ calls Abba.

God is an English word.
Has it never occurred to you, that other peoples have other languages, and thus other words for God?

 

[GMCGeneral]

You don’t understand

We understand perfectly. Allah is a demon. The only G-d is the G-d of Isaac.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Zeus and Odin are names, not words.
God is a word, not a name.

Still not the same god.

 

[BreezeWood]

Still not the same god.

- monotheism is misunderstood - all in the heavens are equal non greater or lesser than another - and certainly no being in the heavens or anywhere else is the same.

for many those terms for the desert gods are meant to represent the same being which is remotely possible were it not for the fact neither of the desert religions are heavenly, represented by a heavenly god - - they all three are represented by the misspoken abraham and those that believe their yarn.

Yes, "we" know. What you refuse to understand is their "God" is NOT the same as our God

So you believe that you are worshiping Allah and think Allah is the same God as the God of Abraham? That means the God of Abraham wants to obliterate the Jews.
Iran prays to Allah. The Jews do not:
To understand who Yahweh is, consider the following points:
AI
Yahweh is the name of the God in the Hebrew Bible, often associated with the Abrahamic religions.
He is considered the creator of the universe and the God of Israel.
Yahweh is characterized by attributes such as omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence.
In Judaism, Yahweh is revered as the one true God, central to the faith and worship.
The name is often represented as YHWH (the Tetragrammaton) and is traditionally not pronounced aloud.
In Christianity, Yahweh is understood as the same God worshiped by Jews, often referred to as God the Father

You understand nothing

Now go and tell the Arabian Christians that the make a bad mistake when they use the word Allah for God.

My apple is not the same as your apple
But both are apples

 

[Zebra]

but I talk of Christian Arabs, not Moslem Arabs.
they have the same god as all Christians

 

[Carl in Michigan]

My apple is not the same as your apple
But both are apples

Exactly. They Are not the same
Except Satan is a god, not God. Allah is NOT YHWH. Allah is a deceptive, lying Spirit. Allah is Satan. The angel Muhammad learned from was either Satan himself or one of his lying spirits

Why is is so important for you to believe they are?

Muhammad DID NOT teach what Jesus taught. Do you really know anything about Muhammad?

An evil tree cannot bring forth good fruit-- Jesus

 

[Zebra]

Allah is a word, meaning God.

And Arabian Christians and European and American Christians have the same God.

Moslems have another God.

Can you agree?

[BreezeWood]

Can you agree?

383

poetic license -

383: most commonly refers to a high-performance 383 cubic-inch "stroker" engine (typically a Chevrolet 350 bored .030 over with a 400 crankshaft, producing ~400-500+ horsepower) or the Chrysler 383 B-engine (a classic 1960s-70s Mopar big-block V8).

are there automobiles in the heavens ... muscle car for the gods.

Now go and tell the Arabian Christians that the make a bad mistake when they use the word Allah for God.

If they are Christians, then the name, Jesus Christ the Son of God, the Messiah, should be what they chant as they walk around the Dome of the Rock. The very dome that proclaims, in no uncertain terms, that: ALLAH HAS NO SON.

Have they traded the Quran in for a Bible? If so, why not say the name the Christians use for God?
Here is what Allah say:
And do not say, "Three"; desist
They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allah is the third of three." And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.

The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; messengers have passed on before him. And his mother was a supporter of truth. They both used to eat food. Look how We make clear to them the signs; then look how they are deluded.

[He is] Originator of the heavens and the earth. How could He have a son when He does not have a companion and He created all things?

^^ All through the Qur'an they are taught that ALLAH HAS NO SON.

To the Muslim, Allah is an entity, not just another word for God. When they convert from Allah to the God of Abraham whose Son is Jesus, the Christ, then I'll believe what you think is a convert.
Where in the Bible does it call God Allah? Is the God of the Bible just another generic word for God? What you are taking for granted is Muslim propaganda, and they have been using it, long before we arrived.

When you see Muslims, shedding the chains of the Quran, and are carrying a Bible and proclaiming that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, then they had better run:

"Does Islam, or does it not, force people by the power of the sword to submit to its authority corporeally if not spiritually? Yes. There are only three choices in Islam … . Either submit, or live under the suzerainty of Islam, or die ~ Osama bin Ladin

When I use the German word Gott instead of the English word God, am I then not a true Christian?

 

[The Irish Ram]

Again, set a Bible next to a Quran. If Allah and God are the same, then their nature should be the same in the two books. They should have the same characteristics, and attributes... Do they?

 

[The Irish Ram]

It is a language question

It is not a language question. If God, and Allah are just words, or merely names, why have to go on and on about their combined singularity? It should be apparent that they are one and the same. Their substance should be like twins. If they are the same words, then the books should be identical as to the words and names describing the two. They are not.
Walk into a church near you tomorrow, stand up, and start praising Allah. Tell them it is just a word/name. See how many stand up and join you...

 

[The Irish Ram]

If they are the same, how can one name have a son, and the other word have no son? And if you pray to the one who has no son, then what does your eternity look like?

In a German church I say Gott.
