So when Arians or other first-millennium heretics with defective christology referred to “God” they were not referring to the Christian God?
I despise Islam, but the fact is that their Allah is the God of Abraham, even though they barely know Him.
Their Allah is definite not the Biblical God. Their Allah teaches them to lie to, attack, subjugate, and kill Christians and
Jews ( and other innocent people). This is most definitely not Biblical One true God. The issue is not that they know the one true God poorly, the issue is they their god is in direct opposition to the one true God (and His peoples). There are probably some Moslems who think they are praying to the right guy. But, It’s what they may think or claim they think that matters. It’s what their god actually teaches that counts and that reveals their god’s real identity. There is only one force so evil as to teach the mass murders of millions of innocent peoples just because they’re Christian or Jewish believers in the biblical God. By its fruits ye may know the tree...
I don’t agree.
The Arians were a Christian sect and worshipped the true God of Abraham and Isaac.
Zoroastrians worshipped a monotheistic God very like that God.
The Islamic Allah is a god of hate, violence and intolerance totally divorced from Judaeo-Christian theology and unlike the conception of a deity envisioned by nearly any other religious belief system.
Their god is like Sharia - evil, brutal, hateful and intolerant and ALSO deceptive and mendacious when dealing with “non-believers”.
