If Jesus(PBUH) called his god "Allah", then why would "Christians" use other words when talking to or about
their Creator?
There aren't many Christians that speak Aramaic. The religion itself values greatly the ability to translate speech into other languages and speak to diverse populations, so there's no special value attached to Aramaic.
Aramaic is a dead language, you mean arabic.
Aramaic is not quite dead, yet. There are still a few thousand speakers.

ya'll do know that jesus traveled to india and tibet for a while and actually considered Ahura Mazda as the "one" god and laughed when his disciples referred to allah as god right?
I have heard stories of many Imams converting to christianity. It's truly amazing when Jesus reveals himself to people and they are converted instantly without a doubt.

When God came down to earth, he chose to reveal himself as Jesus the " Imago Dei" The image of God.
These silly arguments are pointless, Christianity teaches that Jesus is God. Christians are to see God through Jesus as revealed by the father in heaven.
We call God Jesus

Those of us who he made known the truth will not deny him for we are the chosen he has called to lead his flock until his return. We have his calling, we hear and obey.
"Allah" was a demonic moon god before Muhammad was born.
Facts are still facts.

Our Creator has a Hebrew Name. All the Old testament is written in Hebrew, and small parts were translated to Aramaic. But in the New Testament the Messiah Yahuwshuwah was speaking Hebrew, as like it says in many passages. There is no reason to call our Creator Allah for that is incorrect. His Name isnt 'God' in Aramean, and His Name isnt 'The Lord' either. His Name is Yahuwah and always has been and His Only Begotten Son Yahuwshuwah came to proclaim His Fathers Name.

I don't believe in preaching hell. I'm a missionary baptist not a southern baptist or pentecostal. They preach about hellfire and damnation. I'd rather preach about God's love and how he has given mankind his gift of salvation through Jesus the Christ. You bring more souls to Christ to get saved by preaching about his love versus "the wrath of God". When the bible speaks about "fearing the Lord your God" it doesn't mean to literally fear him it means to revere him. You truly cannot love someone or even God himself if you fear them or Him. God wants your love, not your fear. He wanted the Adam to love him so much he gave him free will and after he fell God loved him so much to keep inventing ways to save his friend, first by the Mosaic laws and when those no longer worked he provided us with Yeshua ha Meshiach to seal us to him forever, all we have to do is believe. The simplest thing in all the world to do is believe, yet believing is also the hardest thing in the world to do for some are too afraid to step out on faith and dare to believe what they cannot see without their eyes and some flat out refuse to believe. It is those who are truly the infidel. Maybe the word for God is Allah in arabic, so be it. Ultimately i know who i want to be with and who i want to worship for eternity. I want to dwell in the house my my Lord and King, and i would be happy even being his footstool!
Well I agree with you from the most part. I think we both have our hearts in the right place we just see things from a little different perspectives. I spent a month in Morocco which is a Muslim country so I know many there have there hearts and faith in the right place, they just grew up with different customs and traditions, and that changed my perspective a bit.
Did you know Jesus is in the Qu'ran? en.wikipedia.org...
I am not pushing Islam, I am just saying there is more shared between Christianity and Islam than most people are aware of.
Jesus made no distinction between his male and female apostles. The goal was to spread the message of salvation, he didn't care what sex you were.
