Most Christians in the West aren’t aware that there are arabic speaking Catholic and Orthodox Christians and Jews in the East, muchless that they were calling God “Allah” before the Muslems.

To my understanding it’s like getting mad at German Christians because they and German pagans both use the word “Gott”.

Jesus said. “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, but by Me.” John 14:6

There aren’t “many paths” to God. Allah is a false god, an idol. Those who follow Allah and reject Christ’s divinity will perish for all eternity. (John 14:6)

“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...”

Wrong. The one supreme being is God. All others are false. Allah is Satan.

Works for me. I knew the “other” name was special, but didn’t know what to use. I like it—HaShem. The Name-I Am-HaShem.

Didn’t mean to be disrespectful, though.

Yes. We are not Arab.

Secondly, Islamic apologists would spin it as a concession or least an acknowledgement that the God of Islam is on par with the God of the Bible, the great I AM.

Allah was a Moon god; Yahweh created the Moon. Not the same...at all!

1) You are never going to get us to call the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob “Allah.”

2) What is the purpose in trying to get us to?

3) Do you think they are going to refer to Allah as Jesus of Nazareth?

Get real.

To All - Looks like in many posts here we have three seperate discussions going on: 1. Theology   2. Language   3. History

We won't resolve this until we blend these three subjects. A few posts are trying.

When Islamists celebrate Christmas as the birth of the Son of God, then we’ll talk. Why doesn’t this Bishop suggest that the muslims call God, well, ‘God’,,if it’s only a language issue and all...

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

Thank you for the new .sig, TQC.

The name of the Dutch bishop (retired), btw, is “Tiny Muskens”, which sounds like a congenital defect.

Retired bishop Martinus Petrus Maria “Tiny” Muskens.

Please note that he made his stupid comment in 2007.

muawiyah: ?? A Christian handbook for converting Arabs has been discovered in the text of the k—— ~ it’s in Aramaic

Like, say what? / come again... ? more info...

Who's "us"?

I'm just pointing out to the apparently ignorant, that "Allah" was (and still is)used by Christians to refer to God, centuries before Mohammed was even born, and centuries before anyone used the word "God".
