I really thought the new Pope had promise then he said “islam and Christianity” worship the same God.

Get into a cab of muslim taxi driver....start a convo on theology and ask them if we worship the same God. I have several times. It is a resounding NO by them.

[JCBreckenridge]

Ahh, two posts before the lies start.

Citation, please? Google “Pope Francis Muslims same God” and you get nothing like that as an actual quote.

[Mrs. Don-o]

St.John Damascene, an educated, devout 7th century Christian saint who observed Muslims at close hand all his life, astutely reported that the Koran is a mash-up of garbled and fragmentary notions from the Jewish Scriptures, the Christian Scriptures, and other sources. He observed Islam to be a heretical offshoot of Christianity.

Here's a list of figures common to the Muslim and Christian scriptures. In each case, like a photoshopped picture: the same figure, but with features missing, added, distorted.

God (Allah; same word used for God by Aramaic, Syriac and Arabic-speaking Christians and Mizrahi Jews, Alâhâ)
Aaron (Hārūn)
Abel (Hābīl)
Abraham (Ibrāhīm)
Adam (Ādam)
David (Dāwūd)
Elijah (Ilyās)
Gabriel (Jibrīl)
Isaac (Isḥāq)
Ishmael (Ismā‘īl)
Jacob (Ya‘qūb)
Jesus (‘Īsā)
John the Baptist (Yaḥyā)
Jonah (Yūnus)
Joseph (Yūsuf)
Mary (Maryam)
Miriam (Mūsā's sister)
Moses (Mūsā)
Noah (Nūḥ)
Satan or Devil (Shayṭān or Iblīs )
Solomon (Sulaymān)

Identity? No. But points of comparison. Maybe like a photoshopped picture of the same entity, yet comprehensively altered, warped. Nobody--- certainly not Pope Francis --- would say they were identical.

So what are the three monotheistic religions?

Judaism
Islam (the true Islam)
Catholicism/Christianity
