Whatever the name might have meant at one time, I am told that Allah is simply Arabic for "God," and that Allah is the name used for God in Arabic translations of the Bible. Can someone confirm this? I will confirm. I have been to the mid-east. Allah is Arabic for God and middle-eastern Christians use the same word.

Allah is Arabic for God and middle-eastern Christians use the same word. Thanks for the information. It is amazing that anyone would base an argument on a single misunderstood word from a foreign language that he or she does not speak.
