Do you see any pronunciation relation between the words "Eloah" & "Allah" ?

it sound like it's the same God but with different pronunciation.

Eloah & Allah

Update:

i didn't ask this question because i don't know its answer, i asked this question just to know those who lie and those who are honest with themselves. because it's very abvious that Eloah and Allah is the same. good to know the disbeliever from those tho are honest with themselves.

    Not sure what you are asking or implying? Yes, the Hebrew and Arabic names for "God" have a common root (just like French, Italian, and Spanish all derive from Latin.) The implication of this a linguistic one, though I suspect you're trying to attach something of a religious nature to it.

    isn't that interesting....... that is b/ they are the same God..... if you were a Christian in an Arabic-speaking country you would say Allah and read Allah in your bible. This would be the same for an Arabic-speaking Jewish person The only reason most Muslims continue to use the word Allah is b/ in arabic there is a distinction between god (illah) and God (Allah) Peace and Blessings, Sakina

    Zoroastrians Said EEL to big power, later on it was added to make the names of different angels (powers of God) like air, temperature, cold, pressure, movement of planets etc etc, means angels are the Powers of God doing his work to run the system of this universe (not a baby with wings).

    Zoroastrians were also called Guebre (it become Gabriell), Mikaela, Israels, Izraeel etc

    Allah may also related with Eel.

    As much I read about it.

    There are lots of different derivatives of the same root word.

    When Jesus was on the cross, just before he hung his head to die he cried out, "Eligh, Eligh! Why have you forsaken me"?

    Eligh, also meaning "father" or "God" in Aramaic also drives from the same root word that the word "Allah" is from in Arabic, meaning God or Father.

    They are the same word, with different ways of expressing it.

    Just like Yahweh, Abba Father, etc etc etc.

    It is El or Elah which means strength or strong one "God" and Alah which means to swear which is where Elohim comes from which actually assumes plurality and assumes the trinity of God. Hope you are not trying to reference this to some islam teaching it is not.

    Not...

    Muslims (and Islam) say Jesus was a prophet but they reject all His teachings ....that is hypocrisy.

    They reject Christ's diety;

    they deny his claim to be the Son of God;

    they deny his death on the cross...

    they deny His resurrection..

    They deny Jesus is the Christ/ Messiah...

    In fact, the Quran says : "Allah has no son".

    Need I say more...?

    Don't be deceived. The Islamic god is totally different than the God of Jesus Christ.

    The Bible calls Muhammed and those like him false prophets:

    "Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-Christ, that denies the Father and the Son. He that denies the Son, the same has not the Father." (I John 2:22)

    the word allah just means god. but muslim and christian have different beliefs of who this god is. and we follow different bibles. allot of religions believe in god, they just have different beliefs as to how to get to him and how to make it to heaven.

    Not fair to compare it in English. You'd have to use orignal text and language. Sorry.
