So do you think our Arabic-speaking brothers should abandon the word for “God” in Arabic to Muslims, when they had used it for some centuries before Islam existed?

BTW, in Arabic Bibles, the Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic words for God are all translated as Allah.

As for whether her methods were appropriate or not, I can’t help thinking of all those incidents in the New Testament where Jesus Christ and his apostles boldly disrupted pagan religious services to proclaim Jesus Christ as savior.

Ohh, wait...

Better to use the name “Yawah” to call God God.

Surely you don’t think that because in Arabic Bibles God is translated “allah” that it means the God of Christianity is the same as the Muslim god. If you do, then there’s really nothing I can say to you.
