RE: As long as the Muslim religion is false then the God they worship can not be the true God. Supposedly this false religion came from the same God.

OK, let’s use another analogy... this time from the Bible - Cain and Abel.

Both worship the same God. Both CORRECTLY identify Him.

Problem is, one worshiped God the right way, the other did not.

Result: God accepted Abel’s worship but not Cain’s.

Did Cain worship the true God? Of course. But his attitude and approach was WRONG.

In this analogy, Cain is Islam and Abel is Christianity.

Nope, analogy still doesn’t work because we know from the Bible that they both knew the one, true God.

Islam came after all final public revelation was complete (according to Christianity). Therefore the revelation from “God” could not be from the true God. Especially so-called revelation that contradicted the true revelation from God in the New Testament.

Honestly, there is no discussion to be had here...and I’m not quite sure why we’re having it. The god of Islam is NOT the same god as the God of Christianity.
