“I’ve always suspected W was somewhat of a fraud. When he said he prays to the same god the muslims pray to I became convinced.”

I freaked out the day I saw him say that with his wife standing next to him and they both broke out in laughter

For your own reference, though you’ve no doubt seen it before. Haven’t yet checked out your ping from the other day but I saw it (the ping).

Same God? Really? They are as different as day and night.... Hint: Why is there a crescent moon in the flags of Islamic countries?

Christianity is the “faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 3). We don’t need progress. Christianty is fixed and certain.

Islam is a FIction built with bits and pieces of the Bible to give the cult a sheen of authenticity.

mohammad was so wacked he didnt even know how many days it too GOD to make the world and in fact his fanciful book ....makes conflicting claims about that as well as hundreds if not thousands of other ISSUES.

Survey says: islam is a fraud...

Islam is a mirror image of Christianity - almost as if someone (Satan) wanted to produce a mockery of God.

Unfortunately it seems that a lot of Christians have taken the “same god” bait.

No we don’t worship the same God. That Allah isn’t the “God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,” is one reason, and another is the matter of inspiration. These aren’t “man-made” religions. There are three possibilities. One is that they were both inspired by the Holy Spirit. But that can’t be, because they contradict each other. So one must be inspired by the Holy Spirit, and the other by Satan, and it’s obvious which is which. So, consequently, the god of the religion inspired by Satan isn’t God.

“There is no relation between ‘Allah’ and ‘El(oah/ohim)’, since ‘Allah’ is not truly related to what is touted to be the cognate for Hebrew El (which is ‘ilah’).

How about the Muslim claim that the Hebrew word ‘machmad’ in Song of Solomon 5:16 refers to Mahomet?”

The delusional moslems can go pound sand. And you are clearly steering away my point from “God” being a pagan word to how “Allah” is unrelated to “El”. “Allah” is much closer to “El” than “God” ever was. When pagans were assimilated, their “God” got into the vocabulary. It was as close to El as Jupiter was.

Nope, negative, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

- John 14:6 (NIV)

Jesus said “I am the truth, the life, and the way, no man comes to the Father except through me.” There is no other way.

You answered the best way possible...look at the difference between the countries and cultures based on the “God of the Bible” and the “God of the Koran.”

The differences are so obvious, one society is a society of enlightment, advancement, kindness, patience and mercy and tolerance.

The other society is one of uncontrollable rage, hate, anger and murder. The slightest “perceived” insult is cause for death. Totally no tolerance.

For those who want to look at the actual difference between the 2 separate gods...Jehovah vs Allah...just do some searches of “Allah” on yahoo or google. Allah was one of many gods in polytheistic (many gods) Pre Islamic Arabia before Muhammed came along. Muhammed essentially destroyed all the other gods by forcing those who worshipped them to convert to Allah, the one true God or die.

I don’t think that Muslims believe that they share the same God with the Jews. That whole chosen people thing.

Insanity has taken over...

Perhaps this dolt ought to read Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis to find out what Christians must believe. Then he should follow with The Screwtape letters to see how Satan and crew try to distort it

Essentially, Abraham somewhat founded a religion that went into three different streams: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Here's the important part: all three of these religions are Abrahamic religions, trying to worship Abraham's God.

WRONG on the last one, while is like saying Mormonism was founded by Jesus Christ (Catholicism, which also affirms the god of Islam as its own, has its own critical differences ). Islam can only claim to be worshiping the same God as the Bible, as instead the god of Islam clearly and substantially contradicts the God of the Bible .

And spiritually, what makes one to be a son of Abraham is to have his faith, not DNA. (Rm. 2:28,29)

And this is where we can say all three religions do in fact worship the same God, as all three religions are pointing to, offering worship, and attempting to describe, the same object.

Wrong for the same reason. Likewise is the god of so-called Christian science the God of Scripture? No! The author might as well as say that a stranger who claims to be a fellow heir to his parents estate is really part of the family, even though he has a radically different description of your parents and critical differences in history.

Here's where we're at: all three religions are offering worship the same object, and that is Abraham's God- though they might use different terminology

Wrong for the above reasons. The differences is not terminology but basic doctrine. Islam denies the God of Abraham and the Bible, thus it is not he same. Again, he must think the polygamist evolved God of Mormonism is the same God as that of Scripture.

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. (2 Corinthians 11:3-4)

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. (2 Corinthians 11:13-14)

“Allah” is nowhere near “El”, not even etymologically. Even “Kami-sama” is closer to “Adonai Elohim” in terms of meaning.

And Greek “Theos” is part of the New Testament’s original text, so that was recognized as valid and inspired by the first Church.

I wasn’t even thinking of the Catechism. I was thinking of the self-evident truth that if someone says, “I worship the Supreme Being,” he is worshiping the one, true God. If he is a Jew or a Muslim, his knowledge of God is distorted and incomplete, but he is not worshiping some other god. When a man who believes in God learns about the Trinity, he is not suddenly worshiping some different God.
