The point though is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is NOT the who Muslims seek.

There is only one Father, "The God" of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

  • The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
  • Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
  • Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
  • Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
  • But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
  • God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

    ...

  • For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
  • God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
  • Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
  • And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
  • That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
  • For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
  • Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
  • And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
  • Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

NT Christians understand that.

However, this doesn't excuse what your denomination has written, dogmatically I might add, about this in regards to Islam.

It clearly states regarding Roman Catholics and Muslims "together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."

As with so many things involving Roman Catholicism they have departed from the Scriptures.

I dare say if any of us said anything along those lines the Roman Catholic would pounce like a hyena on the error.
