Christians opposing Allah as name for God..

[kai]

Methinks someone is avoiding a simple question.

What would a druid, or native american.... a person who believed in multiple gods... write in Arabic to descibe their belief?

Or are you telling me they could never generalize and use "gods" and that they would have to name hundreds of gods in every sentence they used?

i have already answered your question, by showing you the word for deity, and Arabic is not English so it may not have the structure your trying to get

See in Arabic, for the One Abrahamic God Almighty is called Allah, ther other gods they have there own names Rab is another word translated has Lord, Rab ul Alimeen (Lord of the Universe), Rab ul Musa wa Harun (Lord of Musa and Harun), Rabi wah Rabukum (My Lord and your Lord). Pagen gods are called directly by their names, Mithra, Hanbal, Shiva, Osiris, Budda.

In reference to our Islamic creed it says La illa ha ilalahu, there is no Allah but Allah which means there is no other god but Allah. Allah is a word generally for God almighty and is also a word for saying god.

Actually Christ referred to God as "Abba" or Father, not "Allah".
Just to help correct you.

 

[EtuMalku]

We seem to forget the fact that no one knows the 'real' name of God except those initiated into gnosis.

Fair enough... I think I understand... thanks.

Hebrew for God is often "Elah" We see it often as Elohim, which is actually plural for Elah.

I leave the obvious similarity between Elah and Allah as mute testimony to simple fact.
