Elohim is a word, not a name
Every word is a name. Seriously. Define "name" and I'll show you.
All Hebrew names have meanings.

Elohim is a word, not a name
It was too vague.

If you don't know the law, then you cannot rationally argue that it is irrelevant or insignificant.
The age of the law is irrelevant. Does the law prohibiting murder expire?

Elohim is a word, not a name. The name of Elohim is I AM. Exodus 3. 'God' conflates singular words like El with the plural word Elohim.
You are right about the Covenants of Noah, Abraham and Moses being eternal, from spiritual perspective.
I quote Abdu'l-Baha:
Firstly, did you know that, when Muhammad was among people of Arabia, many of Arab Jews and Christians believed in Him? (Right or wrong?l
Secondly, why the Jews and Christians,.now do not believe in Muhammad?
By name I mean a proper name. For example the Hebrew word shaitan is a title, not a proper name. Names have meanings, as you say.Every word is a name. Seriously. Define Mosheh"name" and I'll show you.
All Hebrew names have meanings.
It's not a declaration of faith. Exodus 3:14 has Elohim responding with the name of I AM.You've resorted to repeating the same declaration of faith?
I quote Moshe Rabbeinu:
17:8
כי יפלא ממך דבר למשפט בין־דם לדם בין־דין לדין ובין נגע לנגע דברי ריבת בשעריך וקמת ועלית אל־המקום אשר יבחר יהוה אלהיך בו׃
If there arises a matter too hard for you in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between plague and plague, being matters of controversy inside your gates; then shall you arise, and get to the place which the Lord your God shall choose;
17:9
ובאת אל־הכהנים הלוים ואל־השפט אשר יהיה בימים ההם ודרשת והגידו לך את דבר המשפט׃
And you shall come to the priests the Levites, and to the judge who shall be in those days, and inquire; and they shall declare to you the sentence of judgment;
Islam was correct about the crucifixion, the account is consistent with the rescue described in Isaiah 53. Also Isaiah's reference to a sealed book and an illiterate/unlearned man matches the events of the cave of Hira, where Muhammad protests that he is illiterate and is pressed like a seal.I think Islam was a moral, social and political criticism, but it wasn't a very informed one. It was correct in some respects, for example, the trinity, but like the Pharisees it overstepped the divine instruction given the Jews and Christians.
What you don't see matters absolutely not at all to me.I don't see what is baseless, ...
By name I mean a proper name. For example the Hebrew word shaitan is a title, not a proper name. Names have meanings, as you say.
Exodus 3:14 has Elohim responding with the name of I AM.
How would we know which place the Lord shall choose in those Days?
Unless, Lord speaks to people in the same way, He talked to people at the time of Moses, which means, a new Prophet to come to relay the words of God.
"in those days"
Many? I don't know about many. There are always a handful of people who will convert to some new religion. But most people are more than happy in the religion they already have. I see no reason to be anything other than a Jew. Islam doesn't offer me anything worthwhile that I don't already find in Judaism.Firstly, did you know that, when Muhammad was among people of Arabia, many of Arab Jews and Christians believed in Him? (Right or wrong?l
Secondly, why the Jews and Christians,.now do not believe in Muhammad?
Christmas, for example, wasn't accepted by mainstream Christianity until the 1840s when Dickens wrote Christmas Carol.
"Christmas began to be widely celebrated with a specific liturgy in the 9th century..." (Britannica)
I've been re-thinking this. I think Islam has stopped spreading largely because of translations in English. To many important verses are mistranslated. The heart of the message is not seen, and so if the foundation of all foundations of it is not seen, how can a person understand?Firstly, did you know that, when Muhammad was among people of Arabia, many of Arab Jews and Christians believed in Him? (Right or wrong?l

What does "with a specific liturgy" mean and by whom was it celebrated in the 9th century and how? What did I say? I said Christmas wasn't accepted by mainstream Christians until the 1840s after Dickens Christmas Carol.
The same article says "None of the contemporary Christmas customs have their origin in theological or liturgical affirmations, and most are of fairly recent date." (Source)
