Allah is a title not a name, at best it is the equivalent meaning to the Hebrew word Elohim. And I know some may come in arguing about plurality and what not, but it does have the same meaning.
They say Moses called on Allah, or Hebrew (Elohim). However Moses and the prophets awaited the name also and not the title of God. Hence the church as the revelation of the name of God.
If you read the book of Genesis you will see a passage that goes "Then began men to call on the name of the Lord" Genesis Chpt 4.
So the name of the Lord was lost to men, other passages of old testament will show that God's name became so revered, they lost the name of God altogether and then we see YHWH or the tetragrammaton the unpronouncible name of God.
So its all good and well Muslims shouting Allah and Jews shouting ELshaddai all day long. To get up close and personal you have to know and acknowledge the name of God.
For instance its lke you telling me your name, but each time I see you, I call you man.. Hey man do this. or man that. Never calling you by your name. So all the arguments you se going on, is foolishness, the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy ghost is the puzzle that we must all solve.
Hope you work it out in your journey.
We could change the world, If God would give us the source code.
