I am sure you are trying to help me in good faith, however just to save you time and effort, please go and convert the 1.2 Billion Muslims on earth who swear allegiance to Allah, the moon god of the Qaresh tribe who is a singular entity with no son who is unknowable and demands Jihad. When you convert them to your view of Allah, then I will agree with you.

Until then, I continue to agree with the Muslims that Allah is not Yahweh, just like Baal was not Yahweh (even though Baal was certainly one of the titles used for Yahweh).

“Until then, I continue to agree with the Muslims that Allah is not Yahweh,”

Stop there. Muslims do believe their One God is the same One God as Christians and Jews. That is why they do not blaspheme against our God or His Son Jesus even though they do not believe He is the Son of God and consider Him merely a prophet.

Do you think Arab Muslims need to learn English to be converted and abandon Islam? Do you know what it means for a Muslim to leave Islam?

I guess if the King James Bible was good enough for Paul the apostle then it must be good enough for those Arabs. /s

But Arab Christians were using the term “Allah” to refer to the God of the Bible, the Father of Jesus for centuries before the King James Translation (or any English translation for that matter) even existed.

So, no, you tell me what is God’s title in Arabic if it is not Allah.

Arabic was spoken all the way back to the beginning of the Christian church at Pentecost. At that time God, who divided the languages at Babel (in modern day Iraq), united the languages of all of the people present. Speakers of Arabic were among them. English speakers were not because English formed later from the Germanic languages.

Do you think all of the Christian Bibles in Arabic should be burned for blasphemously referring to Yahweh as Allah?

Do you know that the term “God” in the English language was used in reference to false gods before English speakers were Christianized?

Do you know that the original scriptures do not use the English term “God”?

Do you also demand that French quit using Dieu to refer to God, or the Spanish Dios?

Arab Christians and Jews have been referring to God as Allah for more than a thousand years.

How many Christians have you heard of being killed for their faith here in the USA? Arab Christians have been and are being slaughtered for their faith in Christ. Guess what term they use for God? Allah. Why? Because it is the only Arabic word for God.
