I know it was not God or Gawd as most NAmerican Christians say. If a non-Christians use a different word to refer to the Almighty they say you have a different Diety than us. I know majority of Christians do not say God they say Dios. So South American Christians are worshipping something else than those Christians living in Northern Americas. How about the Christian Arabs they use the word Allah to refer to the Almighty. I guess they are worshipping another diety than you. Jesus spoke Aramaic not English so do we have the exact word he used or not???? I know he did not profess to himself when he said : “the Father is greater than I.” (John 14:28).
He also said: “I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.” (John 20:17).
These 'translations' used Father and God...So what is the real word he used.

He, Jesus, called God the Father, no matter what language you use.
God himself gave himself many names, The Father, The Light, The Way, The Was and Is, the Alpha and Omega, and there a lot more than I can recall. I really don't see what difference it makes. I call him the Father, or God.

In Matthew 27:46 it says that he called out "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" Which is my God, my God why hast thou forsaken me.
Of course, in Luke 23:46 - he addresses him as "Father"
Was probably both. The apostles are men afterall, and memory is a fickle thing. Show a movie to two people and they will remember different things...

ILOHI or ELOI in Hebrew.
Dont know about Hebrew but the word ILAH in Arabic means the one worthy of being worshipped. These two words are pretty close

If you recall, when Jesus was dying on the cross, He cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
