“He didn't call him by his first name, he called him daddy, so the name doesn't matter!”
😂 Seriously?
And now to the facts: what the Jews called God, and what Jesus called Him.
Jesus spoke in Aramaic. This language is the closest relative of Hebrew, and in it God was called:
Elah (ܐܠܗ, 'Alaha - in Aramaic),
Eloach (in Hebrew),
or Elohim, is the plural form with respect.
All these words have the same root: ALKH/ILKH, which gave us:
Eloach - in Judaism,
Allah - in Arabic (among Christians, Jews and Muslims of the Arab world),
Alaha - among Aramaic Christians (Assyrians, Chaldeans).
! That is, Jesus literally used the same Semitic word that sounds like Allah, just in his own dialect. This is a historical fact, not an opinion.
Jesus did call God "Father" (in Aramaic - Abba), especially when talking about his personal relationship with Him. But:
“Father” is not God's name, but a role or characteristic.
It's the same as if you call your dad “father” instead of “Mr. Jackson."
