Is the god of christianity different from, and better than the god of judaism or the god of islam? If so, why? If not, why not? Some would claim that all three religions worship one god, while others would disagree saying that the jews rejected their gods messiah and that the muslims follow a false prophet. What say you, christian?

My Two Cents Worth

Having begun this thread, I decided to offer my opinion on whether the god of the jews, christians, and muslims is the same god.

The answer is yes, and no, depending upon the perspective of the individual adherents to each religion.

Jews believe in the god of abraham.

Christians believe in the god of abraham.

Muslims believe in the god of abraham.

This is an undeniable fact.

What is in question is the dissimilarity of the teachings and beliefs within each respective religious group, as these teachings and beliefs vary in degree. However, one similarity between these groups is the belief in a saviour, although here too there are discrepancies as to who he is, and when he will come.

The jew awaits a comming messiah, the annointed of god.

The christian regards jesus as that messiah, and await his return.

The muslim await a comming messiah, or mahdi, and believe he will come from a decendant of muhammad.

So it would seem, at least on the surface, that all three religions worship the same god, though what they believe about that god, and their saviour, differs in varying degrees of understanding.

Cheers

Re: My Two Cents Worth

"Although the name "Allah" is most commonly associated with Islam, it was also used in pre-Islamic times.

The father of Muhammad, Islam's prophet, had the name "Abdullah"; which translates to servant of Allah.

The Arab Jews referred to God as Allah, and the Hebrew form of this name, El or Eloh, was used as an Old Testament synonym for Yahweh.

The Aramaic word for God is also "Allah", therefore it is believed that Jesus Christ also used this word in his teachings.
