ARAB CHRISTIANS...I need your help with this..?

Question

Ok, I need Arab Christians to support what I say, so you wouldn't think I'm lying. (Please type something in Arabic so I know you're Arabic).
1-To all of those who say Allah is different than God: Have you read the ARABIC Bible? I'm a Muslim, and yes we have a copy of the Bible in Arabic in my house. The word "Allah" is used interchangably with the word "God", and the Bible says that Allah created everything.
2-Did you study Arabic language to make such a claim (Like Allah is a pagan god)? In Arabic when you add "Al" to something, it's equal to adding "The". For example in Arabic the word "House" is "Bayt", or more accuartely "A house" which means an unspecified house. Whereas when you add "al" , "Al-Bayt" it changes to become "THE House" which means a one particular house. Same applies to the word "Elah", which means "A god". When adding Al it becomes "Alelah" or "Allah", which means "THE God", a one specific God, the same one Christians and Jews worship! NOT a different one!!

Answer 1

yes, i am an arab christian. i agree with u, we also use allah. some of my friends are muslims and we all agree that we beleive in the same god.

Answer 2

Allah is the Arabic word for God. Unfortunately for Arab Christians, we Americans tend to think that "God" is the only word for God. This might be because of the large number of Islamics who are also Arabic and the fact that the Koran is in Arabic and uses the word Allah extensively.

The Islamic "God" Allah is not the same god as the Christian God (or Christian Allah or Christian Dios or Christian Yeweh).

My Lord and Savior and Allah is Jesus Christ. This is definately different from the Islamic stories of Allah.

It must be very hard being an Arab Christian. May God (or Allah) bless you in your daily walk.
Sincerely.

Answer 3

Most Christians know that "Allah" is the Arabic word for "God"

I know that a Christian who speaks Arabic would call God "Allah" however, the God of the Bible and the god of the Quran are not the same. Thats where the difference lies, not in the language.

Answer 4

Although, the answer seems simple and that allah is God and even the Arabic translation of God in the Bible is 'Allah'... there is more research to be done and you find the the word allah unfortunately in the past was a great idol that many worshiped ... don't believe me .. research it further...
The difference of Allah in Islam and Christianity is really clear. In Islam, God is the almighty, unapproachable, revered God. In Christianity, he is the Almighty but humble God that came down from heaven to earth and took the form of a man to save those who sinned and were ( in the form of men .. of course men refer to mankind) But God is the Lord Jesus Christ in Christianity so it simply cannot be God of the Moslems...

Hope that helps

Answer 5

I am also Muslim we know that Allah is god in Arabic, others don't know that so if I am speaking English I say god. there is only one god no mater what religion you claim, god is god, what we call god may change depending on the language we are speaking, but we are all speaking of the same God.

Answer 6

What a question. of course Allah is going to be in an Arabic bible. Allah is an arabic word.

Thats like going to Mexico and saying this book says he is Ojalá so, he is god, because he says so in spanish !

ROFL.. come on.
