In Aramaic/Ancient Hebrew, "el" means "god" and "Elohim" means "the gods" or "the Supreme God".
Can't this be interpreted as part of the evidence suggesting that Judaic tribes were once polytheistic?
Likewise, in Arabic, "illah" means "god" and "Allah" means "the God".
Why, then, do so many Christian apologists try to smear Islam by claiming that "Allah" was a moon god on the basis that the word "illah" was once associated with pagan gods when the same can be said of "Elohim"?
