[Maedhros]

no

[LiteKeeper]

In a word, "No" the Muslims do not believe in the same God as the Christians and Jews.

[annflounder]

The difference is prophecy. Islam involves a claim of prophecy in our own age of the world, i.e. within the last 2500 years. Neither Judaeism nor Christianity involve such a claim.

There is ample reason to believe that the last real prophet died around 2500 years ago, and that any claims of such phenomena in our own age are bogus.

Who gives a crap about Muslims?

[sarasmom]

no.

Expand the question a bit more.Is Islam a religion?

no.

[Cindy]

Answer...NO.

[Oberon]

Well, like good Christians, let's judge people by the fruit they produce. Muslims don't have covered-dish suppers, for example.

[snerk!]

[Gal.5:1]

Jews and Christians: yes.
Muslims: no, Muslim god not the same.

We either believe the Bible or not. God revealed Himself to us in the pages of the "old testament" to the Jews, and He visited us through the Jews in Jesus Christ (Yeshua) as described in the "new testament"and fulfilled the law and was the sacrificial lamb Himself- for all- Jews and Gentiles.

God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the whole world. And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high... Hebrews 1:1-3

The new testament part of the Bible makes it very clear that in these last days (which is from the time of Christ until the return of Christ) there will be much confusion and many false prophets and false religions and a huge religious deception will occur.

At the risk of being flamed None of these religons share the same God.I am not sure all Christian sects share the same God .
All three faiths do share geographical cultural and textual elements.

[InvisibleChurch]

Given there is only one God, yes, but too many people try to make God fit into their agendas.

[ImpBill]

War, not friendship, is mandatory until Islam reigns everywhere. Muslims are ordered to fight the unbelievers, "and let them find harshness in you." They must kill the unbelievers "wherever you find them." The punishment for resistance is execution or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides. By the stage in his life during which these Surras were written, Muhammad was no longer trying to convert his hearers by examples, promises, and warnings; he addresses them as their master and sovereign, praising them or blaming them for their conduct, giving laws and precepts as needed. His raw dogmatism stands, finally, naked of all pretence.

And yet many, even our Prez insist on portraying Islam as a "Religion" of peace. Try as I can, I am incapable of understanding. When will we get to the point that we accept the above? More importantly, at what cost?

[narses]

Ping.

[EternalHope]

Do Moslems, Christians & Jews Believe in the Same God?

NO!

[skr]

From a non-scholar's point-of-view, no. Judaism and Christianity have the same God, but Christians know Him through the Messiah, whereas Jews are still waiting for His arrival. The Muslims have a historical connection to God but have created a god of their own who has lost all resemblance to the God of Jews and Christians.

[Restorer]

The denial of the Trinity is also explicit: Allah begets not, i.e. he is no Father; and was not begotten, that is, he is no Son; and no one is like him, which means he is no Holy Spirit. "They are infidels who say, Allah is the third of three." But "Isa" is not the Son of Allah, only a special prophet, and the Christians’ contrary claim shows how they are perverted. The Christians are guilty of blasphemy because of their belief in the "trinity" of Allah, Mary, and Jesus.

Of course, Jews equally reject the idea of the Trinity. Their most important doctrine is, "The Lord is One."

Does this mean they worship a different God? At the very least it means they define him differently.

A great many Christians, especially conservative Protestants, have gotten very chummy with Jews lately. I've noticed remarkably little reciprocation from Orthodox Jews, in doctrinal compromise or willingness to accept Christians as brothers.

NowayJose ....

[Lilly]

What kind of idgit doesn't know the answer to that question? How can you take someone like that seriously? There was, is, and will always be, only ONE GOD. His name is Lord Jesus!

[joesnuffy]

Islam claims that Jesus Christ
-Is not one with God the Father
-Is not The Son of the living God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob
-Is not "The Only Way" that man must be reconciled to God and is "The Only Way" to salvation
-Did not die on The Cross
-Was not resurected from the dead
-Did not ascend into Heaven
-Is not coming again to judge mankind

These things Jesus said of himself...

Jesus said and did many other things that were witnessed by hundreds of reliable sober people of sound judgement..

which the muslims also deny..

"Pat Robertson has the issue right. He knows that Islam, despite the existence of millions of "bad" Muslims who reject some of the fundamental tenets of their faith, is a religion of war not peace, that any country with a sizable population of even bad Muslims contains a ticking time bomb, ready to go off in hard times when confused people begin looking for their spiritual roots. When Christians find their roots, they find the Prince of Peace. When Muslims rediscover theirs, it is Muhammad the terrorist.   I wish no ill to Muslims, either as human beings or as adherents of a religion I reject. I would like to leave Muslims alone, in exchange for being left alone."  Thomas Fleming,  LITTLE WHITE LIES (Administration tells about Islam)

[Hermann the Cherusker]

No. Christians believe in a Trinity of persons within the Godhead. Jews do not, but they also do not believe in a God who gives 72 virgins for people who blow up school children in a bus.
