It’s difficult to respond objectively to that question, but I’ll tell you my view....CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
Many people will tell you that Christians and Muslims both worship YHWH, Jehovah, the Abrahamic God. However, there are some compelling reasons to disagree.
There are some parallels between Muslim and Christian conceptions of God. Muslims give these traits to Allah, while Christians believe in one eternal God who created the universe. Both see God as all-knowing, all-present, and all-powerful.
To begin with, Jesus is God in the eyes of Christians, but he is not God in the eyes of Muslims. Christians, including Jesus, worship God. For additional information on the difference, see the notion of the trinity. Anyway, you may legitimately conclude that Christians and Muslims do not worship the same God right there.
Furthermore, some Christians believe that Islam is a heresy, most likely prompted by Satan, in which a confused Mohammed wrote a new revelation, which is an abomination in Christian eyes.
According to Christian theology, God’s revelation was completed in Christ, and that revelation was “closed up” once the New Testament was completed. Consider the following verses from Revelations 22, the last book of the New Testament:
“18 I warn everyone who hears the words of this scroll’s prophecy: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add the plagues mentioned in this scroll to that person. 19 And anyone extracts words from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away any share in the tree of life and the Holy City represented in this scroll from that person.”
The ideas of salvation in Christianity and Islam are completely different. Islam has a theology of good works, but Christianity has a theology of forgiveness based on Jesus Christ’s sacrificial service.
Those messages are opposed. The incarnation is the truth that God’s Son arrived in the shape of a man (Luke 1:30-35; John 1:14; Colossians 2:9; 1 John 4:1-3). By dying on the cross, the Lord Jesus Christ defeated the penalty and power of sin (Romans 6:23).
Jesus returned to heaven after rising from the dead to be with His Father, and He sent the Holy Spirit to Christians (Acts 1:8-11). Christ will return to judge and govern one day (Acts 10:42-43).
Those who put their faith in the Lord Jesus will be reunited with Him in heaven, but those who reject to follow Him will be separated from the holy God in hell.
So, do Christians and Muslims worship the same God, or do they have the same understanding of God?” No, both Christian and Muslim ideas of God are fundamentally different, hence the two faiths cannot be real. By providing His Son, the biblical God is the only one who confronts and answers the problem of sin.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him will not perish but will have eternal life.” God did not bring his Son into the world to condemn it; rather, he sent him into the world to save it.
Those who believe in him are not condemned, but those who do not believe are already condemned because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son” (John 3:16-18).
Jesus was the Son of God, according to Christian scripture (the New Testament). Jesus was crucified, died, was buried, and on the third day resurrected from the dead.
He ascended to heaven in the presence of witnesses after a brief stay on earth and will return as Messiah. Jesus was not the Son of God, according to the Quran. Jesus did not die on the cross. Someone else was crucified in Jesus’ place, and Allah raised him to heaven.
It’s not so much that the Muslim God and the Christian God (and, come to think of it, even the Jewish God) are opposing gods. Within the numerous distinct sects of all three religions, there are many varied ideas regarding the Abrahamic god. And they all declare that their God is the “correct “one..CONTINUE READING>>
