Do the Christians, the Jews and the Muslims have the same God ?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 69/100. JerusalemFolk (2424)   ranked 590 out of 6,502 in religion 2 years ago

I wanted to study in Europe, and when I graduated I came back to Jerusalem where I was born. One of my Christian friends told me : Here in Europe you were under the protection of the Christians' God and now you are going back to the God of Israel, don't you think that the God of the Christians will punish you ? All I could answer is that the God of the Christians, the God of the Jews and the God of the Muslims is the same God. God is One.But when I heard President of Libya Khadafi or President of Iran trying to convince Christians to convert to Islam, they are making fun of Jesus Christ, and say Islam is the best religion. The Jewish doctor and philosopher Maimonides has lots of respect for Jesus and wrote he created a big revolution in the world, transformed a national religion to an universal one, so that even in the Jungle they know who is David, Moses or the 10 commandments.
Also sometimes religion instead of uniting people becomes a source of division for political or nationalistic reasons. If religious people think they have a Licence To Kill, they certainly did not get it from God. When your children ask you about God, what do you tell them ?

God is a good and mighty God, no matter what name you choose to give him, whether you think is name is Jehovah, Allah or just plain God. He is. I think that people put to much reliance on their religion to believe that there is one God and Jesus is his son, who came and died for our sins. Neither the Jews, Muslims, or Christians can deny that Jesus lived. However Jesus said that they will persecute us in his name, but hey let them. Be happy that religion is not Gods thing.

That is a perfect answer i agree 100 percent. I was trying to think how to word it. Are a you pastor as your mylot profile name suggests? If so how did you get into that? Can you give me any advice if i wanted to follow a similiar path. I'm only 24 years old, is that too young?


myLot reputation of 85/100. valentinesdiner (802)   ranked 808 out of 6,502 in religion  2 years ago

I agree, great answer. To the discussion question, I believe God is the Almighty who promotes life giving ways and fights (to ultimate victory) the forces of death and destruction, no matter the other aspects of a religion.


myLot reputation of 48/100. MrNiceGuy (3253)   ranked 3,028 out of 6,502 in religion  2 years ago

But Jews and Muslims do not believe he was holy or God's son.... The three Gods cannot be the same because they espoused conflicting theology. The ideas of each religion are directly opposed to each other...


myLot reputation of 35/100. urbandekay (6799)   ranked 1,376 out of 6,502 in religion  2 years ago

Yet Jesus was a Jew and worshipped the God of the Jews and never claimed that he introduced some new God, therefore if Christianity had a new God (Which it doesn't) it would not be true to Jesus

I always wonder why those from semetic religions always in a confused state when it comes to religion and god. for the semetic religions it is always the exclusiveness that has led them into a dead end and into conflict with everything.

There is a common thread running through all the semetic religions, but still they fight over whose god is great and powerful. a silly exercise. from a common root, they split into three dangerous streams. the holy books of these faiths are more or less similar although they differ on other aspects.

if someone share the same ancestors, same prophets, then how can the god be different? anybody with a pea brain will say it is the same. only dead brains will argue that they are different. if you look at semetic faiths, it went from bad to worse at each stage it gave birth to a new one.

if god is omnipresent, how can he be different in different faiths, while they all had a common ancestor who worshipped a single god, how can they be different. it is the same god with different names in different languages due to ones' limited understanding.


myLot reputation of 69/100. JerusalemFolk (2424)   ranked 590 out of 6,502 in religion  2 years ago

Yes I agree. Avraham, called in Arabic Ibrahimm is called the Father of the Christians, the Jews and the Muslims. But the Jews and the Christians say it is Isaac who could have been sacrificed bi Avraham while the Muslims say it is Ismail, the father of the Arab nation and not Isaac. The Muslims write also that it was the twin brother of Jesus who was sacrificed instead of Jesus.
What do you think ?


myLot reputation of 60/100. tulipstrader (1026)   ranked 1,752 out of 6,502 in religion  2 years ago

Twin brother of Jesus? Really funny that only muslims get such ideas. the myth from which jesus originated did not have any twin brothers. I do not know the islamic / arabic idea of what a 'twins' means? do they mean jesus had a younger brother who was born later to be his twin? or did jesus mother mary gave birth to two children? then how come the islamic jeus story does not record mary giving birth to a twin? it is understandable why it is not there in the christian version.

I do not subscribe to the idea of jesus himself being a historical person, so the idea of twin brother does not arise.

if the earlier story, which has been in vogue for more than 600 years says that Issac was supposed to have been sacrified at the altar of god, the muslim claim of IshmaEl (arabic - Ismail) does not hold any water. It looks like a fabrication by muhammad to please the arabs tribes, so that they support his case for starting a new religion, islam. the islamic version is too short and does not go into detail as the old testament in telling the story of abraham. so there is no reason to trust the islamic version which is too vague and misses out most of the important parts.

Well, God is the same by whatever name so the question is do Jews, Christians and Muslims worship God.

1. If Christianity is true then Jews and Christians worship God.
2. If Islam is true then Jews worship God
3. If Judaism is true then Jews worship God

Since those religions claim that to be true

Therefore if any of these religions are true then Judaism worship God.

So the question is do Christians and Muslims worship God?

How to decide? Well, we could proceed by textural reference and by interpretation it may be denied or accepted that Jesus is predicted by previous scripture, if the positive interpretation is accepted then Christians also worship God.

I have yet to see a valid interpretation that predicts Mohammed.

Perhaps more telling is the spirit behind the scriptures, the descriptors of God in the old testament and new feel the same, ignoring the smiting in the old.

Can the same be said of the Quran? Well, I for one am not sure

In islam, killing one person is like killing all of humankind and saving one human life is like saving all of humankind. that is what i have been taught about Islam. I suggest you read a translated Quran and become SURE before you come to any conclusion. Its only right. you can find free copies online.


myLot reputation of 48/100. MrNiceGuy (3253)   ranked 3,028 out of 6,502 in religion  2 years ago

chanelgirl: surely you know that killing is allowed in many instances in Islam? if you had read the Quran you would know this...


myLot reputation of 35/100. urbandekay (6799)   ranked 1,376 out of 6,502 in religion  2 years ago

Don't be so sure it is a matter of interpretation, yes there are passages in the Quran that appear advocate violence but there are passages in the Bible that could be interpreted similarly.

All we can say is that advocating violence is un-Godly

Wow thats crazy, the god of the Christians will punish you?? that sounds polytheistic to me, which is not what christianity is. im muslim, and i believe in one God for everyone. You answered perfectly when you said there is one God. I dont know why they would make fun of jesus christ. It is a requirement of Islam to believe that Jesus was one of God;s many prophets.. I think of Islam as a way of life, more than a religion. But you cannot base all christians based on those ones that told you "their" God will punish you for moving to jerusalem. You can be anywhere you want on GOD's earth, as long as you take God in your heart wherever you go, as you have. Just like you cannot base all muslims on the extremists around the world. Learn everything for yourself, dont take anyones word for anything. like the first word in the Holy Quran says "read", or "alif", in arabic...use your own brain and your own heart...its worked for you before..God bless and may your heart always be filled with the love of God.

Working in the medical field in Jerusalem I had the occasion to work with many good Muslim doctor. I had to take care of victims of terror. Muslims, Jews, Christian, totally exploded. Also I had to pick up the pieces of a suicidal terrorist. Because of the explosion he had no head and no harms.
Once again, in the every day life I live only with good Muslims who believe in Peace. Thank you for the blessings. God bless you to continue to love all the human beings

I firmly believe there is one GOD whom the Christians, the Jews and and Muslims worship, adore and believe. If we make a deeper analysis of what these three faiths describe of the "God" they are referring to we will see the big semblances. One common ground which I rely on to believe HE is one common uniting GOD is his goodness and love for his followers. Let's try to ask one Christian, one Jew and one Muslim and they all have the same to say about their GOD.. I am very happy that we can always realize we worship the same God and its a uniting thing.. I do really hope that someday all human creatures be whatever their belief will unite for one common GOOD for mankind.


myLot reputation of 66/100. Starchaser (773)  2 years ago

If that "one Jew" understood God in Judaism, I doubt that one Jew would say the same.

God, in Judaism, doesn't send people to heaven, nor hell.
And God, in Judaism, also has no opponent.

with due respect to anyone who believes otherwise, it's not the religion that will save us but our faith in god. i will orient my future kids that god is the supreme judge, full of love and mercy, and will instill in their minds the almighty's authority so they would end up god-fearing persons. :)

There is only One God, but the God that Muslims claim from the God of Christians are not the same and will never be. This is just asking the question you posted. I have nothing against other people's opinion here.

On the last question, well I am going to teach only what the Scripture tells about who God is and I will share this to my future kids that they may have the fear of the Lord in their lives and worship Him only in Spirit and in truth.

The short answer is yes they do. They just practice their religion in different ways. All three have some parts of the Bible as their own. I think they all have the first four books of the Bible.

Hello Folk,

I firmly believe and agree that both christian and muslim religion has only ONE god. trouble is that we mostly don't get along since both have very distinct principles and beliefs in each religion.sadsadly, it's to find niche that will bring peace to both religionssad

There is at least once a year a big Convention with spiritual leaders from Judaism, Catholicism, Protestantism, Orthodoxes, Muslims, even Budhists.
They pray for Peace together, and they have long discussions. It is good to keep our Faith strong that all the religious leaders agree that we have the same God, and that we can hope for the Messianic Age .
