    Allah isnt just in Islam , Arab Christians also say Allah in the Arabic language.

      Allah means "the God", that means these "arab christians" are misled, because in the bible its always called just God, not "the God"

    Pretty much how it is in Japanese, they have their own word for god/spirit, which is 神 (Kami); a concept very different from what monotheistic religions think of God; and in the Japanese translations of the Bible, the word for God is also Kami, which is understandable as the word "god" even in English, also refers and is etymologically related to deity, not to "capital-G God", which isn't a thing at all not even in the Torah when it was first written, with the word used there being אלוהים (Elohim), which also refers to deity/deities.
    I think it's funny how there really is no reason whatsoever for the concept of "capital-G God" to have even existed, when it's nowhere to be found in the original text, "God" is not the name of the Hebrew god, his name is Yahweh, and as we can read in Genesis 2, it is used alongside god.
    As seen on 2:5
    וְכֹל שִׂיחַ הַשָּׂדֶה, טֶרֶם יִהְיֶה בָאָרֶץ, וְכָל-עֵשֶׂב הַשָּׂדֶה, טֶרֶם יִצְמָח: כִּי לֹא הִמְטִיר > יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים < , עַל-הָאָרֶץ, וְאָדָם אַיִן, לַעֲבֹד אֶת-הָאֲדָמָה.
    יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים
    lit. "god Yahweh", as is to say, "god Thor"

      בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ
      אֱלֹהִים = Elohim = God
      There is a certain dynamic in Genesis 1 compared to Genesis 2, every time they mention God, they mention him as just elohim, but in the next chapter, the designation elohim Yahweh gets introduced, which the King James Bible translates as LORD God.

    when "Allah", which means THE God, is the only word for God, what does "Ilah" (=God) mean?Is there some grammatical necessity to use "Allah" ?

    • @christianfrommuslim

      It is "the God". Al means "the". Arabs used the word "Al-Ilah" but it changed to "Allah" as it sounds easier.

      @@pro-pm6nq thanks for confirming, but that means i am right when i say that "Allah" is in nearly all cases wrong, when used for "the God" of the bible ( that would be one exception). In the bible its always just god, no article, its the father, the holy ghost, the lord, but never the God, so actually muslims telling me all the time that Allah is just another word for the god of the bible is not true

      But the lexical meaning of Allah is literally "the "God". We refer to him as One and only one, that's why there is a "the". As there is not only one God in the Bible, it may not be appropriate in that context.

    Great video, and western Christians need to dial back the rhetoric against the "Allah" of the Arabic Bible. 1st Corinthians 9 verses 20-22 is where the wisdom of Paul is seen on this issue, and Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles, so act like Paul, and not a Pharisee on this issue. There are people who know the One God as "Allah" and people need to meet them with that understanding and lead them to Christ, and stop pushing them away from Christ with videos intended for clickbait and money through views. God bless.

    if indian christians can say deva for god why cant arabic people say allah for god if thats their word for god in their reigion than its fine as long as they refer to father son and holy spirit.But since this word was used for one claiming to be god in quran it will be erased on judgement day. The correct word to used for God is heavenly father.Thats his original word when his true beleiver will see him they will refer to him as heavenly father.

      There are several Hebrew words for God in the Bible. The word you quote is actually in Aramaic.
      As opposed to Islam, which must use the original Arabic words, with the Bible it is the MESSAGE which is important. That is the same in any language.

      We did not change God's words. Whereas, as is being demonstrated across the internet now, the Quran has been changed many times, from the burning by Uthman of rival Qurans, to the about 37 variants published today.

      That chant is known to be followed by a stabbing or killing (especially in my country in northern Nigeria). This strikes terror in non Muslims hearts. Incidentally that's what the Koran commands muslims to do. Little wonder Christians don't like associating the word allah to the real God - ABBA Father and Yahweh

      @@christianfrommuslim
      Islam has strict tenets. I guess it is the only answer you can get as objective from me. We, as humans, have been created to worship God. And if you search the story behind muslim prayers, you can clearly see that purpose. God commanded Mohammed (pbuh) to tell the people that they had to pray 50 times a day. But as Moses said that the people couldn't handle it, the number then reduced to 10 and then 5. Putting our heads in obedience to God is a sign of worship, and surrender. It is the way to remember that there is a higher being watching, listening and knowing our every intention and deeds. It is prayer. And it is obligatory to do so. There are clear lines between haram and halal. Clear lines between obligatory and prohibited. Islam presents a clear map of how to please God.
