No, I didn't. I said "The god that Muslims describe is NOT the God described in scripture." It's not my description, it's scripture. Big difference.

False; your quoted words are not scripture. "The God of Abraham" is in scripture, and even Laban knew of Him.

And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee: This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm. The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac.

Don't be preposterous. If you can't distinguish between the God the Jews serve and the god that Muslims serve I would suggest there is a deeper problem with your discernment then can be dealt with here.

Thank you for answering that you believe the God of Abraham that the Jews serve is the one God, and that the God of Abraham the Moslems serve is not the one God. I note that both Judaism and Islam hold the God of Abraham is the only true God, and that the prophets in the Jewish Bible are true prophets of the God of Abraham. Both of them believe that the one true God gave his name to Moses, and that the correct pronunciation is shrouded in mystery until God reveals it again. Both of them categorically reject the Holy Trinity, the books of the New Testament, although Islam regards Jesus as a true prophet of the God of Abraham and introduced a false prophet as the last prophet of God (similar to Mormonism), while Judaism categorically rejects this view. Both religions reject your religion, whatever Protestant strain or derivative.

Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

It’s sad to watch you try to equate the god of Muslims to the god of scripture.
