Does Bible (the holly book) says to worship God (ALLAH) or JESUS CHRIST?
How do we know that God (ALLAH) is the only God. And how do we know that Jesus is the son of God? Is there any evidence supporting these views in the Bible or Qur'an?
Please answer clearly and very honestly!!!!!
Thanks you for your time.
Thank you everyone who have answered.
Some people did not answered my question correctly. Some people did not provide a quote from either The Qur'an or the Bible. Lots of people have voted other down.
This makes me really confused! All I asked was for the evidence from holy books. Not what you believe. So, I will have to put this question to vote. :(

Thank you for your respectful question. The Bible says to worship Almighty God who is the Father of Jesus and everyone else.
Many so-called 'Christians' will say to worship Jesus (like the ones on this page who believe in the 3 in 1 pagan trinity doctrine) but the Bible doesn't say that. They will quote John 10:30 which says 'I and the Father are one' but He was talking about being 'one in UNITY' there, not being the same person. He goes on to tell all of His disciples to be 'one'. Obviously He means in UNITY. Don't listen to the large majority of people CLAIMING to be Christian (even on this page) because they twist the scriptures to support their false trinity doctrine.
The Bible says this.......(2 Corinthians 1:3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, (it also says this in several other places in the Bible)
YES, IT IS CLEAR THAT JESUS HAS A GOD AND FATHER WHO IS ABOVE HIM. He prayed to God on many occasions in the Bible. (and no doubt He prayed to God every day).
Wouldn't the world be a better place if we all found a common belief that brought us closer together?
You are Islamic, I personally follow the teachings of Christ Jesus, the SON of God, but we have to share this earth together. Interestingly I find that about 2 Billion other people CLAIM to do be 'Christian', but they fight against 'Christians' of other nations, and they fight against their Muslim neighbors, and others. True Christians don't do that.
In the Quran, Maryam [19]:21 says "God made of Him a sign for mankind and a mercy from Him." That is speaking of Jesus, the SON of God.
Jesus said that we should LOVE our neighbors, and that we should LOVE our enemies. (Bible, Matthew chapters 5-7) Most 'Christians' on this earth have Not shown this Love that Jesus talked about. True Christians don't fight with Muslims or each other.
You would be supprised to know that Jesus himself had strong feelings toward those that claimed to follow Him, but who did Not do GOD'S will. These words apply today to those who Claim to be Christian.
He said in the Bible at (Matthew 7:21-23) “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my FATHER who is in the heavens will. 22 Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ 23 And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew You! Get away from me, You workers of lawlessness."
Yes, You are my neighbor, and what you've seen from people claiming to be Christian is not right. However, the fault is not the Bible, it's the many people who claim to follow it, and those who take God’s name out of it, and those who mistranslate to support false doctrine.
As you know from your own studies in the Quran, the Holy Scriptures are indeed sound! Anyone who believes in the Qur’an must agree that the text of the Holy Scriptures has not been corrupted. There can be no doubt that they are God’s Word, for the Holy Scriptures have not been changed since the time that the Qur’an said that the Torah and the Injil are “guidance and a light” and that “there is none that can alter the Words (and Decrees) of God.”—Al-An‘am [6]:34.
True Christians don't believe that Jesus is Almighty God, but that Jesus is the First of God's Creation. (Colosians 1:15, Revelation 3:14)
I worship the same God that Jesus worshiped. Some call Him Yahweh, I use the English or Spanish prounuciations of Jehovah or Jehová as found at Psalms 18:83 and Exodus 6:3 (among oyher places)in many older versions of the Bible and a few good newer ones.
.........................................................................................................................................................
Although we follow the teachings of Jesus, we worship His Father and God Jehovah.
........................................................................................................................................................
Well, a day has passed since You asked this question, and some have answered pretending to be Jehovah's Witnesses then say something we don't believe, and others have spoken against Jehovah's Witnesses and twisted the Holy Scriptures with lies.
Read for yourself Colosians 1:15 and Revelation 3:14 which say that Jesus is the FIRSTBORN of all CREATION (not Creator) and the Beggining of the CREATION by GOD. These sciptures make it clear that Jesus was Created by God. He is not Almighty God.
Although You are Muslim, you can clearly see that false Christians are making up lies. You probably have a better understanding of the Bible than they do.

The Hebrew name of God "Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh-I Am that I Am" is the God of the Old testament The God of the Jews He is the Father of All.
Jesus Of Nazareth Is the God of the New Testament the Earthly embodiment of Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh and his Son all at the same time. He is the God and Father of Gentiles (Catholics, Protestants, And Orthodox). The Bible Demands worship to them all Father, Son, And Holy Spirit.
Read your bible it explains how Christ is the son of God.
Allah is not in the bible he is the Father of the Muslims Not the Father of ether of the above. The bible and the Qur'an are not the same book.
Jews and Christians are on the same side when it comes to Muslims Have you not seen the wars that have been going on for the past 1,000 years over the holy land.

As Christians we have the trinity which is three god's in one each with all the attributes of the other separate yet together, so If you worship one you worship them all. However Christ the Son said "I am the way" which means that our way to God is through him there is no other way.
A point to make is that the Holy Bible never sets out to prove that there is a God. it assumes it and all the way through it leaves it open to you to believe or not. the choice is yours and only yours.
A very fair question if I may say so but not an easy one to answer convincingly. I don't think you are after a lot of quotations .

Jesus IS God - God the Son. Allah is not. Contrary to what the JWs teach, the Bible clearly teaches that Jesus IS God.
Here is how the Bible describes how God created the world - the first few verses of Genesis chapter
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light”, and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. - Genesis 1:1-4
You can read the rest yourself. Here's what the New Testament says, in Hebrews chapter 1:
Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his SON, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. - Hebrews 1:1-4.
Did you notice this phrase: but in these last days he has spoken to us by his SON, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. Through Jesus Christ the world was created! Jesus is the Creator God - one with God the Father! Jesus was NOT one of the created beings (as the JWs falsely teach)!
The same chapter says further down:
But of the SON he says,
“Your throne, O GOD, is for ever and ever,
the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”
And,
“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
and the heavens are the work of your hands;
11 they will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment,
12 like a robe you will roll them up,
like a garment they will be changed.
But you are the same,
and your years will have no end.” Hebrews 1:8-12
There is no doubt at all that JESUS IS GOD!
This is what the Bible also says:
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. - Philippians 2:5 -11
One day, EVERYONE will worship Jesus Christ as Lord!

I can understand where you are coming from with this question.
You have very complete answer from a Jehovans Witness.
The beliefs of most Christians are at odds with JWs. There beliefs and ours are quite different.
We worshop God the Creator and father. It was said that humans could not speak his name. It was too holy to speak out. Jews called him Jaweh which is a corruption of the ancient hebrew for "I am" or "I exist". Later this got even more corrupted top Jehovah. that is where that name came from.
Jesus was entirely a man but inexplicably to us is also entirely God. His other tile Immanuel means "God with Us" this has always been his title. God became man and died in our place as a punisment for the sins of mankind (you and me. He died in order for us to be with God the Father -to be close to him. You can do this as well if you believe that Jesus died for you. You then recieve The Holy Spirit who empowers you to live as Christian. It is through Him that you will speak Gods words and learn to love and forgive in a wat that is impossible for an ordinary man. The Holy Spirit is literally The Breath of God. So all are one we cannot seperate one form the other.
It is thing that makes no sense to people who are not prepared to listen, then to try it , then to experience the life of God in us that changes our lives.
I stammered badly and lived "onthe outside of life" as an observer looking in and wishing that I could talk like others and join in. I accepted Jesus into my life. Suddenly I was on the inside. It is so wonderful that I want everyone to come in and join me.
Just pray tonight and ask God to show you how real he is and to show ou how much he loves you.

You ask a good question here, you ask about knowledge and truth, but in fact everything we think we know is based on belief and conjecture.
Belief is not knowledge, you can hear someone knocking at your door and believe you know who it is, but you only really know when you open the door! You are standing at the door now.
In the beginning God created everything, this is told in Genesis. Genesis is attributed to Moses, Moses was not standing by God when the creation occurred so he was working things out retrospectively.
God then gave Moses 10 commandments, one of which says 'Thou shalt have no other Gods but me'. This would imply that there are other 'Gods'. God goes on to describe the false Gods in this command, likenesses, and graven images. This is why in Islam there are no pictures depicting Mohamed as it is felt that these images would encourage people to worship the image, and the Holy Prophet rather than pray through him to Allah.
The God of the Christians is the same God as that of the Jews as Christianity grew from the Judaic religion. The God of Islam, Allah, is also the same God, as Islam too is from the same base.
Jesus is mentioned in the Qur'an as Isa, he is also revered as one of the great prophets.
Jesus never claimed to be the son of God, what he said was 'When you see me, you see the Father who is in heaven'. As we are all made in Gods' image that can be true of us all, God is our father and we are in His image.
Jesus never said 'Pray to me', what he did say was, 'When you pray say, Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name....'. He also said he would mediate on our behalf. These are the words of a prophet, not a God.
Jesus never said that we should worship him, or that a new religion should be started in his name. What we see as Christianity today is really 'Paulism' because it is more of the views of Paul, (who was originally Saul, a persecutor of the followers of Christ) than the teachings of Jesus.
It is my view that Jesus was a special person, a great person in fact, but a man non the less. He had power because he had great inner strength and spirituality, that spirituality put him close to God and in tune with nature.
One thing we must realise is that contrary to what the J.W.s would have us believe the Bible is not exactly what it purports to be.
In 312 AD at Nicea a council of Roman Christian bishops met, at the order of, and under the guidance of Constantine, to assemble what we now know as the Bible, in particular the New Testament. They left out more than they included, and changed the wording in places to favour Rome and discredit the Jews, and to raise the status of men, and lower the status of women to the level of chattels. Just as a slave took the name of his or her master, so a woman takes the name of her husband! And in the New Testament it is inferred that Mary Magdalene was in fact the prostitute whom Jesus saved from being stoned to death. What was left and included in the Bible was not the inspired word of God but an edited and abridged version of stories and anecdotal material. Not a manual for spiritual enlightenment but a fuzzy account of the Jewish people and a man named Jesus. It was written thus to suit the rulers of the day, to keep the people down, in their place, and to some extent in a needy situation by tything. The Christian Church is still one of the richest establishments in the world.
So can we believe the Bible? not every word, but there is a grain of truth hidden amongst the chaff, and it is my belief that there is only one True God, it doesn't matter what name we call him, He knows who we mean, and that Jesus Christ, or the anointed one, (that is the meaning of Christ), is just that, the anointed one, related to God just as you and I, but with a greater relationship with God giving him the status of Prophet.
I hope this gives you something to think about, because the way to knowledge is through question, and there is no difference between believers and non believers, neither know for sure!

You will find the answers here.
The Bible, because of the length of time it took to write it and what it is about, verifies with past history and fulfilled prophecies it’s truth. For one, look at Isaiah 53 which foretells Jesus and what would happen to Him. It did happen. Isaiah 53 was written about 600 years before Jesus' birth. The Bible contains 66 separate books, which were written by thirty six men who were chosen by God to script His words. This took place over 1600 years and the evidence is in the events and the purpose of the scriptures.
The purpose of the entire Bible is to tell us about our condition of being separated from God because of our sins, God's plan to bring a Savior to die in our place for our sins, Jesus' birth, life, death and resurrection, that God's prophecy has taken place and about our invitation to belong to God as His adopted children through acceptance of Jesus Christ as our Lord and our Savior.
The Bible is God's written Word to us.
It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit.
“Above all you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” 2 Peter 1:20-21. (New International Version)

Jesus said I am in the Father and the Father is in me. The Shema says the Lord your God is one God. Jesus Himself said He was the son of God that's all the evidence you need. Nothing Jesus said or did can be disproven.

There is no god except The God (Allah), and
Jesus is the Son of God, the very same God.
God is One in Being, Three in Person.
God is Father Son and Holy Spirit, One God.
We are to worship God and ONLY GOD, whom Jesus Christ is.
The Father is God:
Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from
whom all things came and for whom we live; and
there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom
all things came and through whom we live.
~~~(1 Corinthians 8:6 )~~~
The Son is God:
The Son (JESUS) is the image of the invisible God (FATHER), the firstborn over all creation. For in him (JESUS) all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him (JESUS) and for him (JESUS). He (JESUS) is before all things, and in him (JESUS) all things hold together.
~~~(Colossians 1:15-17)~~~
The Holy Spirit is God:
Now the Lord IS the Spirit; and
where the Spirit of the Lord is,
there is liberty.
~~~(2 Corinthians 3:17)~~~
----------THE BEST SIGN OF THE TRINITY:-----------
As Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw
heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending
on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven:
"You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well
pleased."
~~~(Mark 1:10-11)~~~
