What's the difference between Christians, Muslims and Jews?
They all worship the same god. They were all jews at one point and then Jesus was born... The first Chrisitians came about 500 years later. Then came Mohammed and the the first Muslims came about after that... they all worship the same god, but just believe in different messiahs/prophets.
In the big picture, there is as much difference between Muslims, Jews and Christians as there are between catholics, lutherens and baptists, yet so many wars have been fought over these minor distinctions.
How would your god respond to that?
I should interject that I am an atheist and I think this gives me an ability to see the bigger picture. You all worship the same god but disagree on earthly manifestations of this god.
would your god approve of that?

I agree it's really sad and I'm sure that we are disappointing the Lord with our stupid pseudorighteous bickering. Part of it is that each group finds it heretical that the other groups accept or reject Jesus and/or Muhammad. And the other part of it, at least in my mind, is that everybody wants the land of Israel and religion makes for a good excuse to start a war.

There is not a lot. Must is in how they worship and do things. Some also falls in some of the belive they have in the world of God and what it says. I am a christian and will only use the JKV bible while others use new ones. I have good friends that are Muslims and they do not believe in the same way to gain heaven as I do. If you realy want to know study it all. I have. I fell you should not judge and you should not say anything about something you know nothing about.

Jews and Muslims may or may not worship the same god, although there's a good chance of it. Basic and fundamental Christianity however, believe Jesus is God which neither of the other two faiths believe in that concept. Not all Christianity believe it, though. I don't.

Jews and Muslims have almost the same basic beliefs .. which are entirely different from Christianity (the later is a mixture of pagan beliefs ans Greek philosophy). For example:
- Christians believe in incarnation of God .. Muslims and Jews don't.
- Christians believe in original sin .. Muslims and Jews don't.
- Christians believe in human sacrifice .. Muslims and Jews don't.
- Christians believe in trinity .. Muslims and Jews don't.
- Christians don't believe in following the law .. Muslims and Jews do.

Jews, Christian and Islam are from the same root. God sent Moses with Torah for the Jews. After Moses (PBUH) died, God sent Jesus (PBUH) with Bible, therefore Torah was superseded by Bible. After Jesus died, God sent Mohammed (PBUH) with Qur'an, therefore Bible was superseded by Qur'an. And God has stated that Islam will be the last religion. Islam not only have Mohammed (PBUH) as Prophet but also Jesus, Moses, Abraham, etc (I think there are 25 or so) that they believe in as Messanger of God.
There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. And he who rejecteth false deities and believeth in Allah hath grasped a firm handhold which will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower

You are right, they all worship god and not Yahweh.
Furthermore each one of them will give you a different excuse from to keeping the 613 Laws found in every bible.
They are all being led by and deceived by Satan in her rebellion against Yahweh's authority and his Laws since the beginning.

Muslims do not worship the same God as Jews and Christians!
The Semites in the east were moon worshipers before Mohammad had his "so called" vision.
He just re-arranged their fairy tell religion while they were raiding and killing and organized their pagan idolatry better than it was.
Jews and Christians worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
The God of Moses, David, and Elijah.
This is all on line. All the history, all the details. Just type in . origin of Islam and hit the search button.
Not trying to be rude, I do however get defensive when someone tells me I worship the same God as the muslims.
Your last question was, how would your god respond to that.
Our God sent His son and told us exactly how to respond.
And I pray that more and more muslims come to this awesome knowledge every day.
I am against the killing of the innocent Iraq, but all we can do is pray it will all end soon.
Source(s): Mat 5:44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, Mat 5:45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. - CathyLv 61 decade ago
The three religions do have much in common, but the differences between them are not minor. Judaism is not just Christianity without Jesus, and Islam is not just Christianity with Mohammed. They're entirely different belief systems with entirely different traditions and practices.
