The confusion is language.
In the Quran, he's called Isa and is mentioned over 30 times.
Same way Allah refers to the same God Judaism calls Yahweh and Christians aren't supposed to say aloud because they treat God like Voldemort.
I think it's Jews who can't say Yahweh. Christians certainly can.
...
Judaism = Yahweh
Islam = Allah
Christianity = "Do not say my name, just say God"
That's literally the whole "do not say God's name on vain" thing.
Idiots that couldn't read the Bible centuries later just thought "God" was what you shouldn't say, be cause they scrubbed God's name in the original language from the Bible and Christianity to make it more believable he was the only God and not one of many
What's the evidence of the name being scrubbed? Is it just that the Jews still use Yahweh and Christians don't usually? I'm curious and would like to have backing if I repeat that at some point.
The god's name in vain thing has nothing to do with not saying God's name. It also doesn't really mean saying things like "god damn it." It's meant to be about not using God as a justification or excuse to do something you want. Throughout history it's probably the least followed commandment, except for maybe throw shalt not kill.
I'm a Christian, and I assure you that this is nonsense. I distinctly remember the name Yahweh being used in sermons. Maybe there are branches of Christianity where that's a thing, but it's definitely not universal.
"Using God's name in vain" is generally taken to be about blasphemous cursing, not about using God's name at all.
Name...
Your God...
His name...
Note the words "in vain".
