The same God?

Yes.

The Scriptures you quoted actually prove the point.

FYI, the Bible is part of the sacred writings of Muslims.

Just because the Muslims have an additional book, like the Mormons, does not mean that they reject the Bible.

If they reject Jesus as part of the Triune God, they reject the Bible. They do, in fact, regard Jesus as "a prophet", but not God. My conclusion is that Christians and Muslims share the same God only as a point of propaganda.

True, but just because their additional book simulateously tells them that the prior scriptures are true and that Jews should look to their scriptures and Christians to theirs. But then it goes on to contracdict some of the most important parts of those scriptures and calls them corrupt.

So just because their additional book tells them to accept the prior scriptures, doesn't mean they do. And doesn't mean they ever spend time studying them.

Bullshit ..... the koran and the hadish are their only holy books .... and both steal from the Bible.

Yes...but...
there is one reason the Muslims make nervous and Mormons don't.
The Mormons don't have a passage like "Kill the Christians and the Jews wherever
you may find them" in their sacred texts.

Well, at least I hope they don't...

Go to Saudi Arabia (or any other Muslim country for that matter) and proclaim; "God is a Spirit!".

See how fast they chop your head off.

Proclaim "God has a Son, Jesus Christ!" and they might behead your family too.

The same God? Yes.

The quotes clearly show that the truth claims made by Jesus declare the God of the Bible to be unique and cannot be confused with the Muslim Allah, inspite of any ecumenical desire to equate the two. Jesus said "...God must be worship'd in spirit and in truth." Truth. If the worship is not "in truth", then it's a different object of worship.

What is in a name? We use the English word for God "God", not the Greek work "Theos" or the Latin "Deus" or Hebrew "Jehovah". Yet, all these different words refer to the same object, God. In contrast the Mormons refer to god using the same word "god", but it is clear that they are refering to a different object, one who produced a spirit child "Jesus" as well as his spirit brother "Lucifer". In their theology God the father and Jesus are not the same God but different gods.

Muslim's reject that Jesus is God. (John 1) How can Muslims worship God when they deny Him?
