My God had a son. Allah didn't.
The son created me and saved me. The ROP'ers are VERY insistant that allah is ONE. Their god is not my GOD. |

Yes but if you study the trinity, The Father, The Son and the Holy Ghost, they are one as well. Jesus was not the son of God so much as he was a human manifestation of God. So Allah was, indeed if you belive in such things is Jesus. All three religions are base on Abrahamian beliefs. |

Have your read he complete text of the Old Testament and the Q'uran as it was written by those so inspired or are you just basing this on a limited knowledge of both. |

I think you need to look a little closer. When Jesus was baptised, the voice from heaven didn't say" This is my beloved me , in whom I am well pleased with myself." |

No, the jews don't believe in a single god. Genesis is their bible too and it says "lets US make man in OUR image" The Jew's problem is that they reject thier own messiah because he didn't establish an earthly kingdom when he first came. |

Is that you dad? Man you sound just like him. Yes, Abraham's illegitmate son Ishmael was the first of the Arabs. So yes, techniquely they are the same God. You see the problem starts when a religion starts indoctrinating it's followers to believe that all people not practicing your religion must die, which is what the Koran teaches. |

So I guess the answer to my question is no. You haven't read the completed text of your Old Testament or the Q'uran and you are basing not only our your belief the Christian God but your opinion of the Muslim Allah on a limited knowledge of both. No worries. This is typical behavior. |

Yes and then there was the Hundred Year War, the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition. Centuries of Kings Ruling nations by devine right with tyranny and blasphemy being crimes punishable by death because if you say something un-pleasant about the King since he is the King because God said so you are tyrannous and blasphemous and vis-versa. Remember in Serbia it was the Christians that were doing the lions share of mass executions on the muslim population. In WWII it was the Christians and Catholics that were executing the Jews thousands a day. |

What I said is factually true, and accurately representative of both Christianity and Muslims. And besides, there is more to Christianity than just teh Old Testament. As such, if I were you, I wouldn't go around making assertions about my knowledge of the Old testament or the Koran. Because you have NO IDEA of my knowledge base. |

 I'm sorry...which scripture was that....?If you continue with the song, you will notice that they are "marching as to war", not "marching to war". That's a "simile", and it means, by definition, they are not marching to war.
Yes. I can. It's from a Grade B movie. It's not scripture. www.unomaha.edu/jrf/Vol7No2/angels.htm I love people who quote the bible who have never read the bible. You should actually read it. It would be good for you. |

They also thought Christ (the saviour) would be more militant in the saving of the Jews, they were unprepared for the way Jesus acted and as such do not beleive he is the saviour, they are still waiting for their Messiah, We (Christains) accept that he has been here and will be again, that he died for our sins and then rose from the dead. He will come again to us. Christains beleive this, Jews even beleive their will be a saviour from God Muslims do not (at least nowhere that I can find in their books) and their godhead is not the triumvirate, God, Jesus and the Holy ghost are all one, and yet not

Quoted:
http://www.danielpipes.org/article/2714 Scriptural: The Koran itself in several places insists that its God is the same as the God of Judaism and Christianity. The most direct statement is one in which Muslims are admonished to tell Jews and Christians "We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you; our God and your God is One, and to Him we do submit" (E.H. Palmer translation of Sura 29:46) Of course, the verse can also be rendered "our Allah and your Allah is One" (as it is in the notorious Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation) Historical: Chronologically, Islam followed after Judaism and Christianity, but the Koran claims Islam actually preceded the other monotheisms. In Islamic doctrine (Sura 3:67), Abraham was the first Muslim. Moses and Jesus introduced mistakes into the Word of God; Muhammad brought it down perfectly. Islam views Judaism and Christianity as flawed versions of itself, correct on essentials but wrong in important details. This outlook implies that all three faiths share the God of Abraham. God Ackbar! Linguistic: Just as Dieu and Gott are the French and German words for God, so is Allah the Arabic equivalent. In part, this identity of meaning can be seen from cognates: In Hebrew, the word for God is Elohim, a cognate of Allah. In Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus, God is Allaha. In the Maltese language, which is unique because it is Arabic-based but spoken by a predominantly Catholic people, God is Alla. Further, most Jews and Christians who speak Arabic routinely use the word Allah to refer to God. (Copts, the Christians of Egypt, do not.) The Old and New Testaments in Arabic use this word. In the Arabic-language Bible, for instance, Jesus is referred to as the son of Allah. Even translations carried out by Christian missionaries, such as the famous one done in 1865 by Cornelius Van Dyke, refer to Allah, as do missionary discussions. The God=Allah equation means that, however hostile political relations may be, a common "children of Abraham" bond does exist and its exploration can one day provide a basis for interfaith comity. Jewish-Christian dialogue has made great strides and Jewish-Christian-Muslim trialogue could as well. ________________________________________________________________________ True, and you have eloquently hit upon the truth before all of us. Our commonalities FAR outweigh our differences. Scripture is what binds faith communities, though it's our common code of ethics which we share are what we should concentrate upon and explore in this forum. Derisiveness over scripture in past posts have almost entirely missed the point of understanding and learning, which are also shared common values. Ed |

Personally I'm tired of the thinly veiled Christian bashing coming from the LWM/MSM who refuse to use the word "Allah", instead always using "God". Despite the decendents of Abraham, etc, the precepts of islam and form of worship of Allah are so fundamentally different from Christianity (and Judaism) that calling Allah and the Judeo-Christian God by the same name is a bit outragous. |

I disagree on the last point. Christ tells us that the true Believers WILL be killed and persecuted when we preach the Gospel. Christ compells us to preach the Gospel. Christ compells us to do something that will likely lead to our death. I feel that argument holds no water. |

Muslims believe that God sent down many prophets throughout the ages, and that Moses and Jesus were Muslim prophets (because they worshipped God and told their people to worship God). For a while, "Judaism" was the "Islam" of the time. However, over time the people became misguided. Jesus was sent to bring people back to worshipping God, and for a while, "Christianity" was the "Islam" of the time. However, people became misguided and changed the Bible, and so God sent the final prophet, Mohammed, who taught his people the final Islam. You are correct in saying that in an Arabic Bible, the word for God is Allah. In Arabic, Allah means God. However, Muslims and Christians have very different beliefs about God. Muslims believe that God has no partners, no sons, no family, etc. Muslims believe that God is above all of his creation. Time, death, the universe, every particle of sand... all of these are God's creations and nothing happens without God's knowledge. Muslims believe that Jesus was born to virgin Mary. Muslims believe that Jesus did not die, but instead, was lifted up to heaven. Muslims believe that Jesus will return to Earth one day to fight the Messiah Dajal (false Messiah) or what Christians may call the "anti-Christ." Muslims believe that when Jesus returns, he will pray with the Muslims and help them defeat the Messiah Dajal. |

Satan is the "father of lies". So, when he tells you that he is the same things as God, he is lying. Satan once said " I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High."
Satan wants you to believe he is God. |

It's funny how people discuss Islam with no knowledge of the religion basing everything on things they have heard from others. A person who murders the innocent is not following islam he is only following his own desires the Quran says that if u kill one person it is as if u killed all of humanity and if you save one persons life it is as if u saved all of humanity. No one blames christianity for the actions of Timothy Macveigh or Hitler, then why do you people blame Islam for the actions of an individual or individuals that are not even following the basic tenets and beliefs of Islam. When people use verses that state that kill people wherever you find them the verses are taken way out of context. The verses following those and the ones prior to it are taking about those people that oppress you and are fighting against you and the verse after it says if they stop fighting and oprressing then u should stop too.
