How many people understand that God is one God, and Allah is the same God of the Christians and Jews?

Christians are in false belief since 2000 years.Jesus never said that He is a God or son of God.He confirmed Himself as a prophet same like Moses Abraham Noha did in past.Why Christians dont consider that prophets above given names lived before Jesus but they never claimed to their community

God has a son or trinity.They were teaching to the people only one God exist.Suppose it was trinity and God had a son sure They would confirm it to their own community.But they didnt do it.So were They real prophets God sent to the world with a task?Christians believe that They were real prophets and God sent Them.So why God didnt order Them to tell this truth to the people?If you say that God didnt

have a son during this period but 2000 years ago received a son than may i ask you if God going to have another son in our century or followings?Or maybe this time a daughter?

I understand that you believe that Christians and Muslims worship the same God and yes there is only One God. I understand that Allah is the word for God in Arabic but that in itself doesn't mean we worship the same God What does Allah want people to do? You have the Koran for you book of what God says we should do. We Christians have The Bible and they do not say the same thing. If we both worshiped the same God, the Koran and the Bible would be identical, they are not.

There is One God who is Real. We humans have conceptions and ideas about who and what God is and what he wants us to do, that is why I say that we worship 2 different Gods. We Christians (and we don't all agree on anything) don't agree with what much of the Koran says about how we should treat other people.

That doesn't mean that I don't love you and respect you as a person who God created and loves as much as He loves me. In the Bible and especially in what is called The New Testament, God Commands me to love you and treat you with respect, that is not true in the Koran. The Koran says to attack the infidels in the countries around you and if you win you are to give the people the choice of converting to Islam, accept being a slave, or death. That is going on as we speak in the Sudan.

I admit that Christians did similar things long ago but that was because of the peoples greed and meanness. That was never because the Bible said Christians should do that. I understand that many Muslims don't do those things today but many do. Please tell me where I am wrong. May God bless you and all your family and loved ones.

My understanding of all this is that Jews, Muslims and Christians are all people of the book. They all have a common origin. They also all pay homage to the one God.

Allah is Arabic for God in the Islamic faith.

Yahweh is Hebrew for God in the Jewish faith

God is the English word for the supreme supernatural being that we are all talking about.

Debate and conflict arise when discussion about the Trinity or three persons or natures in the one God as taught by the Christian denominations starts. This is because Christians believe that in God their are three complete separate and divine persons. God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit. There is still only one God. This was resolved at the Councils of Nicaea and Chalcedon when the Nicene Creed, which describes the Trinity was finalised.

Many of the Gnostic heresies in the early Christian period denied the presence of the Trinity. Gnosticism later adversely affected all three religious groups through Kabbalah in Judaism, Zurvanist Zoroastrianisms' impact on Shi' Islam in Persia and fundamentalist Christianity during the Reformation as Eastern beliefs impacted on Judeo Christian traditions.

Cheers!!!

Muslims believe that Jesus Christ was a prophet.

I don't think you'd have an accurate idea by asking here.

Some Christians say Jesus is God. Some say otherwise. Now that is confusing.

Muslims and Christians have differing accounts of Jesus.

However, the entity God is pretty much the same since the way both religions describe the general attributes of the entity very similarly.

Even Christians in Arabia and Malaysia use the word Allah.

Hell, what do Americans know about other cultures to start with? lol.

No, because Muslims don't consider Jesus to be God. Since Jesus is God come to earth, and our only Saviour, the only man qualified to atone for man's sin is God, the Son.

In the beginning was the Word(Jesus) and the Word(Jesus) was with God and the Word(Jesus) WAS God.(John 1:1)

If you have seen me, you have seen the Father...so no, we do not worship the same God.

That there is only one same God/Allah/Goddess is New Age thinking and teaching.

By the way the Jews are God's chosen people and to stick Mohammed's name, a muslim, on the end of a royal Jewish lineage is like playing the old Sesame Street game " Which of these doesn't belong?"

Did you know all this?

The characteristics of God as understood in the Christian faith are different from the characteristics of God as understood in the Muslim faith. You both disagree with each other over the nature of God. So it's an understandable position to assert that the two are not the same.

By the way: if "Allah" is just the Arabic word for God, why do so many English speaking Muslims keep using the word "Allah" instead of just plain "God"?

Jesus as the son of God that died on the cross at Calvary.

You believe Jesus is but a prophet and that Allah had no son.

Those gods cannot logically be the same.

God is a part of us, and we are part of God. He came to this Earth in human form. If you do not believe that Jesus is God, and our bodies were made to be a temple where God can dwell on this Earth, you do not know God. You can call it the same thing. You can claim it's the same thing even when you call it something different, but it's not. You worship something that I do not recognize as God. I do not recognize Allah as God because you do not recognize Jesus. You can pretend you recognize Jesus, but if you don't understand that God was crucified for our sins then you don't know anything about Jesus. The god of Mohammed is not God who made all things.

Jesus is God, God is three persons of One Divine substance. The Jews rejected Jesus the Logos (Word/Reason) of God, and Allah does too, therefore Allah is a fraud.

"And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding that we might know the true One; and we are in the true One, in His Son Jesus Christ. This One is the true God and eternal life" 1 John 5:20

"Expecting te blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ." Titus 2:13

So God is One and His name is not Allah but Jesus the Christ, the God of very God.

Here are a few historical facts concerning Allah: (Please don't just take my word for it, search the truth of this out for yourself : )

"But history establishes beyond the shadow of doubt that even the pagan Arabs, before Muhammad’s time, knew their chief god by the name of Allah and even, in a sense, proclaimed his unity...Among the pagan Arabs this term denoted the chief god of their pantheon, the Kaaba, with its three hundred and sixty idols." (The Moslem Doctrine of God, Samuel M. Zwemer 1905, p 24-25)

In fact, he did not at first intend to establish a new religion, but rather to reform the belief in Allah which already existed, and to show what this belief truly signified and rightfully demanded. (Mohammed: The man and his faith, Tor Andrae, 1936, Translated by Theophil Menzel, 1960, p13-30)

"The pre-Islamic origin of "Allah"

There is absolutely no question that Allah was worshipped by the pagan Arabs as one of many polytheistic gods.

Allah was worshipped in the Kabah at Mecca before Muhammad was born. Muhammad merely proclaimed a god the Meccans were already familiar with. The pagan Arabs never accused Muhammad of preaching a different Allah than the one they already worshipped.

Many scholars say "Allah" is derived from a compound Arabic word, AL + ILAH = Allah. "Ilah" in Arabic is "God" and "Al" in Arabic is a definite article like our word "the". So from an English equivalent "Allah" comes from "The + God". Others, like Arthur Jeffery say, "The common theory is that it is formed from ilah, the common word for a god, and the article al-; thus al-ilah, the god," becomes Allah, "God." This theory, however, is untenable. In fact, the name is one of the words borrowed into the language in pre-Islamic times from Aramaic." (Islam: Muhammad and His Religion, Arthur Jeffery, 1958, p 85)

Although "Allah" has become known as the proper name for the Muslim god, Allah is not a name, but a descriptor that means literally, "the god". All pagan cultures have these generic terms that refer to their "top god" as "the god". In comparison to the perfect monotheism of Judaism and Christianity, "Allah" was originally no more a proper name for the Muslim God, than the word Hebrew "elohim" (god) or Greek "theos" (god) are proper names of the one true God of the Bible. "Jehovah" is the only revealed proper name for the "Elohim" of the Old Testament ( Ex 3:13; 6:3) and "Jesus" is the only revealed proper name of "Theos" in the New Testament. (Acts 4:12) Islam has no proper name for their god, but merely transformed, by universal use and confusion, the generic Allah into a proper name. So although today, Muslims use "Allah" as a proper name, it was never used this way originally. Allah, therefore is equivalent to "elohim" and "ho theos" but not "Jehovah" or "Jesus". Allah is not the name of the nameless Muslim God. However Muslims will claim that Allah is the name of God that corresponds to Jehovah. Both the Father and the Son are called "ho theos" (The God). Jesus is called "The God" many times in the New Testament: John 20:28; Heb 1:8. An important conclusion from this, is that the mere fact that "Allah" is equivalent to "elohim" and "ho theos" does not mean they are directly corresponded. It certainly doesn’t prove Allah is the same as the God of the Old or New Testament. It does not prove that Muslim’s worship the same God as Christians. If this correspondence proved the Muslim god was the same as the Christian God, then because pagan religions also have generics that correspond to "the god" (Allah), this correspondence would also prove that Allah is the same god as the Buddhist god, for Buddhists also refer to their god as "the god"."
