If one is speaking English, one calls God “God”; if one is speaking German, “Gott”; French, “Dieu”; Greek, “’o theos”;. . . Arabic, “Allah”.

Unless he is proposing we converse in Arabic, the bishop’s suggestion is blasphemy. Why? Because it is a Mohammedan conceit that the Arabic word for God is the name of God. To call God “Allah” when speaking any language but Arabic accepts false Mohammedan conception of God.

That said, Arabic speaking Christians call God “Allah” (elided from Al ilah, meaning literally “the god”, Arabic like Greek indicating the uniquely existing God by using the definite article, rather than capitalizing), but only when speaking Arabic, when they speak English they call Him “God”; German “Gott”;. . . because Christians do not believe the lie that the Arabic word for God is the proper name of God.

There is just the one supreme being - known to different peoples by different names.... Native Americans have The Great Spirit... Muzzies have Allah, Christians have God...

Fail.

The Manson Family's "God" is Charlie.

Is that just a linguistic transliteration?

Is a Mexican serial killer named "Jesus" the Hebrew Messiah?

He may be Dutch but he ain't no Christian. God told us His name in the Gospel, and "allah" isn't it.Nobody but a pigf*ing dog calls the Lord God of Hosts by the dogcrap name of "Allah."

You do know that Orthodox Christians in the Middle East were calling God "Allah" since before Islam existed right? Mizrahi Jews also say Allah.

"But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!

As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ. " - Galatians 1:8-10

LOL, isn’t it interesting that if Mohammed were alive today, he wouldn’t be allowed to live within 1000 yards of a school?

Arabic speaking Christians all use the word "Allah" to denote the personage we refer to in English as "God". Does anyone know what the problem here is?

In my book, the problem is that the entity that spoke to Mohammed, was not God. 'Twas Satan who whispered his lies to that fool, calling himself God. Mohammed was but a useful idiot in a larger scheme.

Muslims believe that Allah is God but that is false. The god of Islam is not "the personage we refer to in English as 'God'."

Just my personal opinion.

Now, now. I never saw a dog so low that it would do anything like that to a pig and my dogs, at least, would not look to the Lord and call him Allah. I do have a special treat for the Bishop, should I ever meet the fornincating scum.

That is exactly what I was thinking.

Allah is not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

No how, no way.

That's fine but what you believe is irrelevant. Mohammad didn't speak to any entity at all. About 99% of the story was invented in Damascus after the Arabs from Mecca conquered it. Mohammad, whoever he was, was long dead by that time.

A Christian handbook for converting Arabs has been discovered in the text of the Koran ~ it's in Aramaic.

We call him HaShem, which is Hebrew for ‘the Name’ as a sign of respect for His Name. We are not to be casual with that name, or His Torah. His Torah stands forever. We are to safeguard both.
