Why do Christians say that Allah is not the same god Christians and Jews believe in?

As an Arab Christian, I say allah, it doesn't mean that I'm muslim...Allah means god in arabic just like Dios means god in spanish, or like Dieux means god in french. God is universal even though we all say his name differently.Allah is not just the god for muslims, it's the god for christians living in the middle east who speak arabic.

Not everyone in every country says God, we each have our own languages to say his name.

Muslims seem to have got part truths in their faith. They say that Jesus is just a prophet which is wrong for he is the son of God. They say that it was Ishmael not Isaac that was almost sacrificed by Abraham. They do indeed accuse people of having changed the Bible but the Dead Sea Scrolls proved that a nonsense as the book of Isaiah and the part of Genesis found is the same.

They fail to remember that the Bible Scriptures were written hundreds of years before Mohamed was even thought of.

Mohamed is said not to have been able to read or write for himself so perhaps that is the problem if not it is even more serious if he purposely caused incorrect things to be written down. He seems to have married a young girl who was too young, which isn't a good example.

It should, as you say, be the same God but the message has since been distorted.

Allah is a distant god who is not personally involved in his subjects' lives; his decisions concerning your afterlife are completely arbitrary - no matter how "good" a Muslim you are, he may still decide to send you to Hell. Muslims believe you cannot have a personal relationship with Allah. They also say that Allah has no Son. If Allah's revelation to Mohammed is correct, then Allah's goal is to have a "forced Paradise" on this sinful Earth by converting everyone on Earth to Islam and killing or enslaving everyone else.

Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (the God of the Bible) wants to have a personal relationship with each of us; He PROMISES that if you believe on His Son Jesus Christ, and believe that He died on the cross for your sins and was resurrected back to life 3 days later, that you WILL be guaranteed a place in Heaven. There is no arbitrariness or fickleness about this at all. The God of the OT DOES have only one Son - and it is through this Son that we as humans may have a personal relationship with the Creator of the Universe.

Jesus Christ confirmed that His "Kingdom is not of this world". The goal is not to create a temporal "peace" on this Earth (which is impossible as long as sin exists), but to make sure that as many people as possible become saved so that when Christ returns for His church, they will be resurrected and rescued and taken to Heaven alive, while the rest of the sinful world will be destroyed.

Tell me something. If God took such a long time and so much enegy to write the Holy Bible which is a book on salvation, would he get another book (Koran) written that works against it? It just does not make any sense at all.

The only Bible is the one the Christians use, for this one God has ordained to be the true Bible. So because of this there can only be One God Almighty not two.

I am not sure if there is exactly correct answer or not. There are religions which believe in only one God such as religions from the Middle East. However there are other religions which have multiple Gods. For example, they are gods of Egypt, which Jehovah did not allow people to believe in gods in Egypt. In Buddhism, there are many gods in India. My conclusion is there are gods for each religion who guided the people around. And upper level of God is in this planet, I mean in the spiritual realm. The structure can be imagined the order like pyramids. Even God governs gods. The gods govern angeles or high spirits. So I should tell you that "God" of Christians and Jeudaism are also the same and Muslim's is the same too in origin. But the problem is people's understanding, as there is local or regional "God' and people are confusing in the history. That example is the one of Shintoism and Hindy's gods.

Actually, historically Jews had the same God as the Christians, but those Jews who have denied the Son, have not the Father either and neither do they know Him, because if they knew Him, they would also know that Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah, the Son of the Living God. Muslim also deny the Son, and therefore also do not have the Father, nor do they know Him. Each has created an image of God who consists of their own ideas and not the Living Word of God. There is only ONE true, Living God. Just because people acknowledge a higher power does not mean it is the One, true, living God simply being called by a different name.

John 8:19 So they were saying to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also."

John 7:28 Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know Me and know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

John 8:55 and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know Him and keep His word.

John 14:7 "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him."

John 14:9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father '?

John 16:3 "These things they will do because they have not known the Father or Me.

John 17:3 "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

1 John 2:23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.

1 John 4:15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

1 John 5:1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him.

The name for God was never Allah or Jehovah his name is YAWHE the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. I don't want to say bad things about the Islam religion, however why will God change his name to Allah? Even if Allah means God in Arabic God would have kept his only name YAWHE.

Allah means Lord not God.

Allah is also the name of a pagan God that was associated with pagan worship at the Ka'ba. He was one of many Gods.

Allah behaves completly differently than God does in Judaism and Christianity.

Because of this many Christians do not believe that Allah is the same God.

The god that the Muslims call god is not the God of the Bible. They have created a god to fit their doctrines and their belief system, just like some other religious groups have done.

They reject the true God and the Word of God is not their authority.

Not all Christians believe the same thing.

Allah is not a name. It is the Arabic equivalent to "God" in English and "Elohim" in Hebrew.

The Hebrew word is almost always used in the plural form, which gives it that "-im" ending. The root of the Hebrew word "Elohim," therefore, is "Eloh."

Allah == Eloh

Get it? Arabic and Hebrew derive from a common older linguistic source, and the two words derive from a common source.

Why can't these folks stop their petty bickering and learn to love one another? Yeah, I know. Silly question.

No the loose term "God of Abraham" is accepted by all of the major faiths Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

However Christianity was visited by God Himself in the person of Jesus Christ, who taught us that God is Trinity. One God in Three Persons.

Both Judaism and Islam consider that incorrect. And Islam considers the Divinity of Christ, the God-man to be blasphemy.

Christianity without the Trinity is hollow and empty. As it ignores the Revelations provided by Christ.
