QUOTE "Father Andrew Lawrence told the BBC he was delighted, saying prayers had been answered. " Couldn't help smiling when i read that...Allah surely answers all prayers if you call on Him alone.
Prophet Jesus-peace be upon him-spoke Aramaic, not Greek, Hebrew or English. Even wikipedia will confirm the Aramaic word for God is Allaha!

As a Christian- surely you would want to call upon your Lord by His correct name rather than YHWH or Jehovah.
Heres the link for the Bishop from Holland-Tiny Muskens- who urged his congregation to address God as Allah:

ALLAH - for Muslims the greatest and most inclusive of the Names of God, an Arabic word of rich and varied meaning, denoting the one who is adored in worship, who creates all that exists, who had priority over all creation, who is lofty and hidden, who confounds all human understanding. It is exactly the same word that the Jews, in Hebrew, use for God (eloh), the word which Jesus Christ used in Aramaic when he prayed to God.
But what about The Bible?
The Arabic Bible uses the word Allah to refer to God. Thus Arab Christians' God is Allah. Allah is the One God of every one. Allah is the Creator of prophets like Jesus and Muhammad (peace be on them). Allah is also the creator of Satan. May we be in the protection of Allah from Satan all the times. Ameen.
"He is God, the One God Independent and sought by all; He begets not, nor is begotten, and there is none like unto Him" (The Holy Qur 'an - Chapter 112 - Al-Ikhlas- Sincerity of Faith)

No worry, once all perish is scuttled, by "save some",
as Paul notably does in Romans 11:14 & 1Cor 9:22;
then the only option remaining becomes none perish,
by endure to the end: no mention of law: sin & death.
For it's either "all perish" or "none perish", not both,
when considering "no respect of persons with God".
By using laws: all perish... but already scuttled
By grace: none perish... only option remaining
So we'll run us-ward--> with patience, unto none perish.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Because God is Allah , allah is just an arabic word for God, such as la masion is french for the word house. same thing. christians and jews and muslims worship the same God , ask jews they probably call him something different. Wouldnt you think God would have a name? by just saying God it doesnt really say who it is. because people used to call trees god or staties god , so in order to be specific we say allah , as it is the name he calls himself in the quran. with 99 other names he refers to himself as, such as the merciful or the gracious.

Arab Christians also pray to ALLAH . The glorious Name-word ALLAH appears for thousands of time in my Arabic Bible. The word 'GOD' was never spoken by my lord Jesus. He did not speak English . A preacher in Holland has also urged his congregation to pray to Allah, but, I have lost the link to the thread.

the bible says the name of jesus is above every name ,there is no other under heaven given among men that we can be saved by.it also says whatsoever you do do it all in the name of jesus. there is no other way to come to god except by the name of jesus. if you try or think you can you arebeing deceived by satan. if you really want to know who jesus is, and what you can call him. he has 3 titles. read issiah 9:6 pastor carl

Probably because Malaysia is biased. I'm sorry to say that. But if you know its history and current situations, malay muslims get benefits. It's almost similar to how america treated the non-whites last time. Lesser opportunities..etc.. If that happens, people have to resort to conformity.
