Interesting. I suppose it could be said then that the god of the Christians is not the god of the OT. One is mono, I understand, and the other is triune?

"Then" doesn't seem appropriate in this discussion. The fact of there being a linguistic difference between Arabic and other languages does not imply a theological difference between Old and New Testament adherents.Interesting. I suppose it could be said then that the god of the Christians is not the god of the OT. One is mono, I understand, and the other is triune?
Christians hold that "God" constitutes three elements humans can identify. "I Am" is not reduced in any way. The trinity is an intellectual stumbling block and not necessary to coming to personal revelation.

Just for starters, "Allah" is a name. YHWH is a symbol and usually regarded as a verb form. "Allah" does not translate as "I Am" or "I Will Be What I Will Be", which is more or less what YHWH means in English.In what way?

Fair enough. Use 'El' instead of YHWH.Just for starters, "Allah" is a name. YHWH is a symbol and usually regarded as a verb form. "Allah" does not translate as "I Am" or "I Will Be What I Will Be", which is more or less what YHWH means in English.

So, not an intrinsic part of Christianity and the exact nature of the entity under discussion is not important? Rather, that the Semitic religions have that entity in common?The trinity is an intellectual stumbling block and not necessary to coming to personal revelation.
Allah is just Arabic. Spanish, German, French, Italian etc all have words for God.In what way?

Anything used instead is different. "El" does not translate into YHWH. The difference is essential.Fair enough. Use 'El' instead of YHWH.

...and those nouns are are equivalent to the Arabic use of "Allah". YHWH is not.Allah is just Arabic. Spanish, German, French, Italian etc all have words for God.
Allah is Arabic for God like Gott is German for God. Arabic speaking Christians in the middle east say Allah.Just for starters, "Allah" is a name. YHWH is a symbol and usually regarded as a verb form. "Allah" does not translate as "I Am" or "I Will Be What I Will Be", which is more or less what YHWH means in English.
In Islam there's 99 names for God. Stick to what you know....and those nouns are are equivalent to the Arabic use of "Allah". YHWH is not.

What do you get out of disparaging other faiths? You don't know anything about domestic law or legal theory either.See post 650.

What are you talking about? "Disparaging"? Stating facts is not disparagement.What do you get out of disparaging other faiths? You don't know anything about domestic law or legal theory either.
Being hypersensitive to views other than one's own is a psychological problem, not a logical one.

That is why no one is worried you will actually succeed.
There is no way it would pass by 2/3 of both Houses, then be ratified by 38 out of 50 states.

He sounds more like the Opus Dei part of the RCC.He only ascribes to the Roman Catholic Church. None of that matters. My church split from the Roman Catholic Church because they saw it was corrupt and worshipped several humans in their practice instead of God and did not agree with the Pope being the head of the church.
Which makes it legal and moral. Outright banning of abortion goes against judaism, putting restriction on our religion.WRONG. Traditional Judaism allows abortion only to save the life of the Mother
