As I understand it, “allah” is the Arabic word for “god”.

If so, it follows that Bible-believing, born-again, Arabic-speaking Christians call the one true and living God, “Allah.” But, other than perhaps to express some kind of empathy for their Arabic-speaking brethren, there’s no reason for English-speakers to use Arabic language.

Of course, all that matters is what’s in the heart. In the PC-USA church, congregations have been reciting truth for generations. But for many (nowadays, most), it’s only words on a page.

Did you read the article?
The prayer given was the following:

“Allah bless us and bless our families and bless our Lord. Lead us on the straight path - the path of all prophets: Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad.”

So, Mohammad is a prophet? The same individual who stated in the koran that G_d could not have a son, and the same individual who calls for all muslims to conquer the world.

When mad mo was inventing his false religion, the Arabs worshiped many gods. Mo picked out one god, Allah the moon god as the only god. In reality Allah is satan.

Something tells me this isn't true. It is used as a proper name for a specific god.

It's like Crescent Wrench. It started out being a name brand then became a wrench type. Visa Versa seems true here. Funny coincidence that I'd randomly pick CRESCENT Wrench to try to make the point!
