Since modern scholars have asserted Allah is really a modernized form of Baal...?

What if there was a challenge against Allah issued the same way Elijah challenged the old prophets of Baal.

I don't ask this to be smart alecky. I'm seriously curious.

The difference is that YHVH does not seem to have a prophet (like Elijah) to issue the challenge. And there is no true Almighty one but YHVH.

all these people need to simply understand, that when you are saying Allah, you are saying an arabic word for God, Yes God, All-Mighty, Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful, Creator of the Universe. God is different then god! ( look it up in a dictionary)

Here are the various translations of God

Spanish - Dios
French - Dieu
German - Gott
Hebrew - Yahweh
Arabic - Allah

Allah is not a different deity. A proof for this is are many, a simple one is what do Arab Christians say. They say that Jesus was the Son of Allah.

Another very interesting proof is, the word for God in the Aramaic language (which Jesus Peace be upon him spoke) Go research for yourself. I guarantee you will be surprised.

Anyone who tries to claim Allah was some deity besides God All-Mighty, Creator of the Universe (whom the Christians refer to as the Father) then they are truly ignorant of the reality.

Just look up the word God (with a capital G) in the dictionary
God :
supreme being: the being believed in monotheistic religions such as Judaism, Islam, and Christianity to be the all-powerful all-knowing creator of the universe, worshiped as the only god
