I would but then I would have to wonder if I am talking to the same person, or if you have a short attention span, you do know what a christian means when he writes "god" in lower case don't you?
You got the Apple feaver to ? Both of you got a defective reading IQ. I bet you two did horrible in English writing.
English writing….?
You cannot even correctly spell the simple word
fever…!
Oh…..and the word “to” in your sentence should be spelled “
too”…
Let’s not forget your horrible grammar….it’s not “both of you got”….it should read “both of you
have”…
So much for your comprehension of English…and you claim a Masters degree…?!
Looks like anyone can get a Masters degree nowadays…

Edward William Lane, Arabic Lexicon
(TA) <~~~ a Muslim Scholar is who said " a proper name denoting the true god" not Lane whom is quoting him in which Lane says in [] of his own words " the only true god " (following after TA.) as the denotation of "God" capitalized. No where does Lane say “a god” or “god” indefinitely to denote a false god.
Now you have
TWO authorities claiming that allah is just a god.
You were kind enough to even supply the incriminating evidence against your position.
“a proper name denoting the true god, comprising all the excellent divine names; a unity comprising all the essence of existing things”
You can see for yourself that “the true god”…..allah….“comprising all the excellent divine names”….and…. “a unity comprising all the essence of existing things”.
The same attributes are used in the definition of the god allah that Muslims use to describe their allah……
BUT….the classic definition relates
ALL of these attributes to “the true god”….
LOWER CASE…..!
Clearly allah is regarded as a pagan Arab god…..such as detailed to us in the root.
There is no difference in "The only true God" vs "God i.e. the only true god" which was a formal way of writing when "God" was already capitalized before the denotation.
Quote:
God
Deity or Supreme Being.
Each of the major monotheistic world religions worships a Supreme Being, who is the sole god of the universe, the maker of all things, omniscient and all-powerful. God is also good. In ancient Israel God was named Yahweh. The God of the Hebrew Bible also became the God of Christianity, but generic words, such as theos in Greek or Deus in Latin, were often used to refer to him. In Islam the term is Allah.

Even your modern pasted definition further emphasizes our point…
Notice that God is always capitalized when referring the Yahweh.
Furthermore, look at the attributes that are given to the
CAPITALIZED God Yahweh…”God is good”…..”God was named Yahweh”….”God of the Hebrew Bible”….”God of Christianity”…
This is in stark contrast to the attributes that are given in the classic Arabic definition for the
LOWER CASE god allah…
So does this mean you worship “god” ?
What this means is the
YOU worship a fictitious pagan Arab god wannabe…
Edward Lane quoted the use “God” capitalized over 10 TIMES for the meaning of Allah.
Please show all 10 in full context…
With page numbers, as well….
Again we ask what name did Arabic Speaking Jews and Christians use before Islam to refer to God ?
The operative question is….What meanings were poured into the name(s) used…?
Thanks…
