Float if you wish, but 'that Book' tells us to continue in the doctrine. ..I'm through here.
Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
1 Timothy 4:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

“Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too” (Romans 3:29). Jesus was the Jewish Messiah, but He had come to offer salvation to everybody. The Messiah was to be a “light for the Gentiles” (Isaiah 42:6). So call on Jesus, because “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Acts 2:21).
If not, then how do you say "God" in Arabic?Being an Arab does not automatically make a person a Muslim who follows the false God of Islam even though they are descendants of Ishmael. The God of the Bible is the God of all humanity, Arabs included, and there are many Arab Chirstians who do not believe in the God of Islam but instead are believers in Jesus Christ! The Bible says that none should perish but that all should come to repentance. It does not say all, except for Arabs! You do realize that there are many millions of non Arab Muslims world wide such as those from Indonesia, the Phillipenes, and the former Soviet republics so being a Muslim who follows a false belief is not an ethnic group but instead it is a religion. Another thing, at the end of the ages Egypt, who are Arabs, and Assyria will be standing with Israel in faith of the true God of the universe. So God does have a place in His heart for all people, Arabs included, who come to faith in Him. I have a slow older computer but do a search on Egypt, Assyria, and Israel in Bible prophecy to find the references to this.
The name of Allah was given by God thru Mohammad to lead the Muslims to stop seeking revenge, which is the cause of their major problems today. the original meaning of the name, (all of God's names have meanings) is satisfaction to drink here. meaning that god is in charge of all revenge, as you do, I will do to you, which is the dark side of do unto others as you would have them do unto you, which is a recurring theme throughout the Bible. After Mohammad's death, he Mullahs who took over the faith were not prophets who knew God, so they used the organization that Mohammad had put together to achieve their evil ends Mohammad told his followers to read and study the Bible, which in the Qur'an is called the "book" which is what "Bible" means. Those leaders created the Qur'an, which does contain some of Mohammad's words, but was corrupted by those who followed him, especially during the time of the Crusades.

But the use of the word Allah predates Islam as Arabs used this word as Jews and Christians hundreds of years before Muhammad was even born and the false religion we know as Islam even existed. Notice that in verse Acts 2:11 below, about the Day of Pentecost, Arabs were among the devout Jews who heard the wonderful works of God. So if they called God by the word Allah in their own language, long before the advent of Islam, they would not have been talking about the false God of Islam.
