This frap shows that we do not “worship the same God” as progressives like to assure us.

Has any muslim ever publicly said this? I know they like to be all pious about how Christians are “people of the book” and we should respect their beliefs that Jesus was a lesser prophet.

The god worshiped by muslims never sent or will send a Son or messiah, only another imam to conquer and rule - according to one sect

It seems one rather large group of monotheistic humanity - has got their deity very wrong

differences btwn allah and the Triune God of the Bible

1. allah is unknowable, cannot have a personal relationship with; the real God is knowable, wants to be known/have relationship with all people

2. allah is author of both good and evil; the real God permits others b/c of fre will to commit evil, but is not the author of evil

3. for muslims to be saved your good deeds must outweigh bad deeds, AND you must also have the favor of allah - ie he must like you - and you have no way of measuring/kowing if you’ve’done enough; the real God offers salvation through Jesus Christ His Son’s atoning sacrificial death, b/c there’s no amount of good we can do to earn it, and the bible assures us we’can know we are saved b/c we believe in what Jesus did for us.

4. allah has no/son; the real God is a triune God, One God, three persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

5. as allah is not knowable there is no personal connection to him; the real God says in the bible that both Jesus and the Holy Spirit live within/indwell the believer.

6. there is no concept of personal forgiveness in islam, scales are weighed and if you do more good than bad,/folow the five pillars of islam - works - and if you are lucky that allah likes/favors you, you go to heaven, otherwise hell. the real God has mercy ad grace on people, personally, there is personal forgiveness of sins, God tells us our good works don’t save us, He saves’us completely.

clearly allah and the real, true God are not the same.
