I thought this was an interesting website so I am posting a link: Answering Muslims: 50 Reasons Muhammad Was Not a Prophet
I didn't click the link but I'm totally going to forward this to ISIS high command. I bet they'll be all like, "Yo, sorry!". Someone tell President Obama to stand down, 'cause it's all good.
my cat's breath smells like cat food.
There was a time when the Arabs Knew the God of Abraham as Yahwah.Well that website is good for a laugh, I suppose.
Your second post is utterly irrelevant: Allah is an Arabic word not Hebrew and in Arabic it does mean God, referring specifically to the Abrahamic god.
Shall we now have a thread about how non-trinitarian messianics are less heretical to Islam than to either Judaism or Christianity. That might be fun.
Yes, when they were Jews.There was a time when the Arabs new the God of Abraham as Yahwah.

An utter irrelevance and long since forgotten then as for now: Muhammad was born circa 570CE, 1400+ years later.Chemosh was
There is no relationship between the Hebrew word Allah and the Aramaic word Allah. Allah in Hebrew means "oak." The word Allah in Aramaic and Arabic is a contraction of the word "Alilah." Al/il/ah means, "The god ascends." "IL" means "god." IL for god is ancient Hebrew and Aramaic. Modern Hebrew changed IL to EL for god.
In Islam, Ilah means God, Allah, is gods name.
Allah is not a Hebrew word for God, or a concept of God. Allah is not in the bible, and Yahwah is not in the Quran.
Who historically became worshipped as the one, true and only Abrahamic god.Ilah in arabic means god.Allah is a name given to chief of arab pantheon of gods.
The difference between a god or gods, and God.Even the quranic verse uses No Ilah but Allah several times.
So what? While certainly related via sanskrit, they are not the same language. There is no reasonable expectation that any 2 similar words of your choice be the same.The closest sounding hebrew word אַלָּה al-law means piece(s) of wood(Oak).
Yes, when they were Jews.
I'd probably dispute that a bit. I do think the Arabs were a distinct people apart from Jews. Certainly there's some intermarriage and the like there, but I doubt all Arabs derive from Jewish roots and Jews are usually not considered Arabs.
And yet genetically... they are. Isn't the distinction more cultural than racial?
I agree, not all Arabs were Jewish before Islam. Some Jewish, some were Christian and some were Pagan.
It is only those who were Jewish that knew God as Yahweh, although I feel too much is made of that particular name.
