YOU said this:
Allah is simply the Arabic name for the All Powerful Singular God. The story of Jesus and Maryam (Mary) is described in Qur'an and there it is said that Mary called upon Allah. As Allah is the same God in both Judaism and Christianity, it's not amazing that Mary sought help from Allah.

Please forgive me my misunderstanding. As one who is raised christian and a witness to angels and the Glory of Jesus Christ in a vision. i believed that jesus is Saviour and messiah.
So when i read the gospels Christ in the bible I see Jesus Calling upon Eloiheim, Not Allah, and i read that as a boy of 13 he went to Jewish Temple and kept passover.
So i have a hard time believing it is NOT a plagerism to Say mary called upon Allah instead of the same Name jesus used when he was on the cross. can you help me out?
ok, if everyone in Arabia changes the name of God to Allah, isnt this a false witness by changing the facts of someone elses testimony?

Mary Called "ON" god in prayer, i see here as an orthodox Jew, knowing hebrew and aramaic, but her Israelite Son Jesus, in the bible says eloiheim eloiheim la mac sa bathani. (something like that). if that is aramaaic, i a dead turtle. Anyway, if Jesus said eloiheim, mary wouldve also said eloiheim, and the bible preserves the hebrew form so when the Koran changes God from eloiheim to Allah then I think it is a FALSE WITNESS to those who SEEK the truth! Saying Jesus spoke aramaaic as a primary language seems to be a "theory" NOT honest fact to me. Although he probably talked several languages.
So can the Koran be correct and not a false witness in using the word Allah? when it comes To every detail about God. I think it is Using the Lords name in Vain. and incorrectly.

Well,in the English Bible,the word "Eli" and "Elohim" is change into "God",doesn't it?


Just as Spanish said "Diyos" and Greek said "Theos" and Malaysian said"Tuhan" in their languages in the Bible,Doesn't mean they are worshipping different god,and that doesn't mean they changing the fact of Mary or someone elses testimony.

Native language of Jesus is Aramaic (Hebrew was the language of Moses). In Aramaic God is called as Alaahaa, which is very similar to Allah in Arabic. see this link from an christian Aramaic learning site.

You can see hear the pronunciation also if you click the speaker button.

see this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christian_terms_in_Arabic

Name is just a pointer to what or who it is referred. So, Allah, Alaaha, Jehovah, Yehova(this is how Christians in my place call God) all refer to the same unseen God.

Prophet Muhammed came not to make people believe in Allah, most people of those time, Christians, Jews, polytheist all of them believed in Allah, but his mission was to proclaim that only Allah or the one God is to be worshiped. This is just like the first commandment given to Moses, which states we should not have other deities besides God.
