that the arabic translation of the verse John 3:16 in the Bible says Allah for God?
لأَنَّهُ هكَذَا أَحَبَّ اللهُ الْعَالَمَ حَتَّى بَذَلَ ابْنَهُ الْوَحِيدَ، لِكَيْ لاَ يَهْلِكَ كُلُّ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ، بَلْ تَكُونُ لَهُ الْحَيَاةُ الأَبَدِيَّةُ.

That's correct. Allah is not a name, it is a title.

Yes. I am acquainted with a few Arabic-speaking Christians. "Allah" is simply the Arabic word for "God". This does not imply that the spirit to whom Arabic Christians pray, is the same spirit addresses by Muslims.
Do you know more than one person named Fred? Same principle.

Gabe, semantics is not the point. The god of Islam, who is Allah, is not the God of the bible. Therefore, it is not merely "another" word for God, as the god of Islam has no son and the God of the bible has a son, Jesus, who died on a cross, rose again....and is the only way to salvation.
Please don't call people names.

And your point is? He is also called the Great I Am...
P.S...If you are just trying to feed some knowledge to some ignoramouses...then you better sit down...take a breath...and have a long conversation with yourself...and really try to listen.

Did you know Allah has a Son named Jesus?
Umm; the rest of the verse says He gave His only Son!
So, based on the verse you chose, Allah has a Son.

yeah, it's just another name for God. It's like calling him Abba. <><
