"there is only one deity worshiped by Muslims, Christians and Jews,".
Christians and Jews who follow the Bible, believe in YHWH, the God of the Bible that is a triune God (father, son, and spirit.) Muslims believe in a god that is a singular entity, that has no son. To believe that Allah has a son is the ultimate blasphemy in Islam and worthy of death. Then Mr. Awad outright lies when he says...
"the Muslim declaration of faith (Shahada) states: 'There is no god but God.'".
The Shahada states that there is not god but 'Allah', the moon god of the Nabataeans. Muslim apologists obscure the truth about Allah the moon god by continuously preach that 'Allah' is merely the Arabic translation for 'God' and that all Arabic-speaking Christians refer to 'Allah' in their prayers. Allah may be used as a name by a small group of Christians, but it is not the moon god of the Arabian desert. Mr Awad is disingenuous for he knows that Muslims would never use YHWH in place of Allah, for they are two separate gods entirely! Mr Awad's arguments would be laughable were they not so mainstream...most notably President Obama! This is the spirit of Antichrist...
1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no * lie is of the truth. 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is * the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
Either that Muslim is completely ignorant or he’s purposely trying to deceive Christians...or both.
How’s about he take a dirt nap and see for his own self.
bfl
He only quoted the first part of the Shahada, he deliberately omitted the second part because Muhammed makes it very clear Jesus is not a supernatural being as is believed by the Christians.
Below is the complete Shahada the Muslims say to become a Muslim
"I bear witness that there is no god except Allah"
"And I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah."
Islam worships a god of love and peace when pigs fly.
Umm, yeah..... Nope. They worship Satan, which is pretty clear if one spends an honest hour reading about it.
On my better days I pray for their souls to be reckoned to Christ.
“Islam teaches that Christians and Muslims worship the same god...”
No it doesn’t, because Muslims do not believe that Christ was God.
Many verses in the quran clearly demonstrate this to be a crock of shi’ite, and awad to be one of that same fecal matter.
Allah has no son and wants your sons to die for him. God sent His only Son to die for you. Big difference
Mono-, bi-, tri-, tetra- . . . Allah shows up in the Bible a lot, including in Job and tempting Jesus in the wilderness, but he is not God or even a god. Otherwise, we would refer to the “Tetranity” of Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and Satan.
By their fruits ye shall know them. Allah is Satan, -and most definitely NOT the one true God of Christians and Jews. Not in a million years. If a Moslem sincerely wishes to pray to the real God, who is Love, not terrorist gang murders, tortures, crucifixions, and bombings, s/he is cordially invited to get a Bible ( prohibited in Saudi Arabia) and pray.
Different religions worship different gods, that's why they are ... different religions. Hopefully that's not too difficult.
Many centuries before Christianity and Islam existed, Jews worshiped the One True G-d:
Sh'ma Yisra'eil Adokai Elokeinu Adokai echad.
Hear, Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.
Judaism has no figure that is both man & god, alive and dead, simultaneously 3 gods and 1 god, was here, died, came back, will come back again, etc. Judaism has the ONE True G-d before Christianity & Islam were invented.
Christianity claims the G-d of the Jews, but worships another god, hence they aren't worshiping the One True G-d. The figure described above and a "new testament" were glued on AFTER the Jewish Torah and Jewish Nevi'im to form a DIFFERENT religion.
Islam also claims the One True G-d but their behavior clearly indicates otherwise and their Muhammad (perfect man on earth) is similar the Christian god (perfect man on earth) or the Pope (infallible man on earth).
