Allah is simply the Arabic word for the One True God. Why do Christians call Him a false god?

Question

Chelle Belle. I do not state here what my beliefs are. I am simply asking a question. You are correct. Not all Christians call Allah a false god but certainly many of them who post here on YA do. What I do believe is that people from all over this world have many concepts of The True God and call Him by many names

Answer 1

Many people don't want to educate themselves on any religion except the one they call their own. Therefore, they believe that anything they don't understand (and that's a lot) is "of the devil" or "ungodly". Ignorance is truly a debilitating disease.

Answer 2

Christians think the Muslim god is a different god, because Muslims rejected the idea that God has a son who died for the sin of humans. But fact is: Islam copied from both Judaism and Christianity. If Allah is false, the other two, the Christian god and Yahweh must be false, too.

Answer 3

This is because there was some rumor going around that Allah was the name of an old moon god in that culture. Even if that's true, a name is a name. The one true God is the one true God by whatever name one chooses to call him, and I don't think that God really minds what the locals choose to address him as.

Answer 4

The term " Allah" means god in Arabic. Abraham and other Faithful Prophets did not accept just any god or Allah. Their God had a Name and it certainly was not Allah.
Prior to Mohammad " revealing" this god to his fellow countrymen, the Muslims were Pagan worshippers. Mohammad found his god by praying or meditating in a Cave. Mohammad was " CHOKED" by an "Angel" into accepting his assignment. Sounds more Demonic than anything else.

Answer 5

Please dont stereotype us. I know good and well that Allah is simply the Arabic word for God and I know many Christians that understand this simple fact.

I am not one of those Christians that think the God Muslims worship is a false God rather I believe the Mohammad was the false prophet that we were warned about. Jesus came too fulfill the word and so much of what Mohammad taught contradicts Jesus' teachings I do not believe he is a prophet.

I have a right to my beliefs just as you do. And I do not judge you for your beliefs.

Answer 6

Allah implies the islamic god so christians believe that god is wrong so when people are speeking in english they would say allah not the one true god but if they are speeking arabic then it is fine and christians would say allah as well

Answer 7

The western Christians who do so are ignroant of Arabic and think Allah is a name. I know just smigent of Arabic- from going to an Antiochian Orthodox church and having Coptic friends and I can state they use the term allah in prayer. Condomening the use of Allah
It would make the same since as Christans out side of the US condeming the phraze Jesus Christ- (instead of Isus Christos) becuse the Mormons use it in their faith.

Answer 8

i've got self assurance each and every person has the best to decide for regardless of faith or ideals they choose. i dont have self assurance absolutely everyone any doctrine that declares Jesus develop into purely a prophet and which ignores that he's the Son of God, the messiah/redeemer/saviour.

Answer 9

may be in their language Allah means a false GOD. never mind when GOD has no problem with them or any body else then why you worry?

Answer 10

I don't. I believe Allah is God. In fact Jesus probably referred to God as Allah (when he didn't use Abba), as that's the Aramaic word not just the Arabic word.

Peace to you.

Answer 11

Those who call Allah the false god are 'Jahiloon' living in dfarkness and have no intelligence.
