Most Christians will agree that Islam have a different god than them, yet they all believe in the same god Moses believed in, is this proof that there is no god and that "god" is only as big as the culture that worships him?\n\nThe western world see god in a western way while easterners see god in a eastern way...\n\nI see no god just a bunch of delusional people that don't even know the history of their own religions. \n\nWhat do you think about this religious evolution?
133817
Yes. Any mutations (new ideas) that occur with data that is being viewed in an evolutionary sense and that survives or persist (such as Islam and Christianity), are examples of evolution.\n\nThis is not biological evolution per se, it just follows the same algorithm.  Some Christians will have a hard time buying this, partly because their religion has in many ways, demonized the word, 'evolution'.  Some just see monkeys when they hear that word, they have a hard time getting beyond that because it would break down big chunks of their belief stucture and who they feel they are inside.

I know it's not directly related to the question, but it's useful to realise that the Greeks' view of God had a huge impact on the monotheistic faiths. I'm currently reading A History of God by Karen Armstrong, which details how the Greek philosophers' attempt to define God affected early Christianity as well as Islam and Judaism. Fascinating.

Why, yes, I did know that.  But, that also makes your question somewhat meaningless:  I could just as easily ask of you, 'Your Allah is called God.  Why don't you worship Him Alone?'  See how that changes exactly nothing about the actual theological differences we have?  :)

Yet everyone claims that exact same God is the all-loving God of the New Testament. Why the 360 split personality? Also, there is no middle ground between the two. I find it very hard to believe that Gods of other cultures were the same.

You must believe in God to be Christian or Muslim, as such belief is fundamental to both. Those that don't believe in God, or think they know the God of these two groups, making God a mere fancy of their own minds, can't be truly called Christian or Muslim. \n\n100% of true Christians, and Muslims believe in God, but most who claim to be either of those two, have an image of what God must be, or else they won't believe, and this is evidently different than what Mohammad and Jesus taught of God, so they are unbelievers in Their teaching. This is to be expected in some degree from everyone since no mind can contain God, but we seek what the allusions point to.\n\nSo in one sense there are no true believers in God, except God, as God is the only one that can contain God; and, on the other hand, all who are seeking affirmations from the dwelling place of God, which is God, are believers in as much is possible.\n\nIn sum we all believe in God as God is, but scantly could that belief be said to be even a fraction of a percent, compared to God's own belief/knowing of God.

In my way of thinking---the Muslim would be higher in the eyes of G-d.  Muslims do not worship Jesus as G-d.  There is only One G-d, whether you call him Allah, or G-d.  \n\nI believe G-d is One, not a trinity, and it is idolatry to say otherwise.

Christianity and Islam, ironically come from the same "parents" if you will. They are like feuding brothers. Many of the beliefs in both religions are very similar, with the exception of who they chose as their saints. The problem with islam in my humble opinion is that the religious people in charge dont try to conform to modern standards, rather they want to keep people lost in 2 A.D. Christianity isnt entirely better mind you, while it has to a large degree adapted to the modern world there are still many people who believe in antequated ideologies. \n\nThere are many kinds of christians, each with their own varaition of Christianity. Some believe in the trinity, God, Jesus and the Holy spirit. Some pay tribute to saints or holy people sent by god to do his work on earth. And some still have many varying beliefs that are not all the same. \n\nIt would not be a wise judgement to say that all christians are the same, as I've just pointed to you theyre not. I don't know enough about muslims to make a similar remark, however when you begin generalizing people you make really gross assumptions that arent necessarily true of all people.\n\nIn my opinion, education rules supreme above religion. I also think that everyone should have some kind of faith, and we should stop persecuting eachother for being different and having different beliefs.\n\nLove thy neighbor etc.\nLive and let live. etc etc

I think Arabs and Non-Arabs both mcorrupt the face of Islam.\nIslam is complete and it has no errors but the main reason that many ppl dont agree with it is the manner the muslims act.\nBut...But the way is open.those who want to find the truth its everywhere!\nP.S.ARabs corrupted islam more than Non-arabs because they love dunya more...dont think i say this coz i,m an non-arab!!\n~peace

Hang on a minute. I thought Muslims looked to Allah and Mohammed as their Saviour/Prophet and Islam as their religion? Regardless, there is nothing on record that says Jews are the 'chosen people'. The only people who say this are Jews themselves, and these interpretations are based on THEIR interpretation of a 'Bible' written by fellow Jews...who played down their role in the execution of another Saviour of mankind. \n\nIf we all believe that the Lord/Allah/Jesus/Jehovah is our saviour (because God has many faces), we are ALL chosen people - not just one race or one nation of people and certainly not because one race of people has written a 'Book' biased in their favour...\n\nWhy ask such a stupid and ill-informed question on this board if not to provoke ill feeling?

Can I just point out that in here the only ones that say homosexuality is a sin are those that are Chrisitan, what if you are not Christian it is not a sin. And anyway where are the Muslims that also say its a sin - nowhere, they know when to accept other peoples choice in lifestyle and belief and dont critise it. I have never heard of a Muslim damming a homosexual that does not follow their religion, they know when to quit!

Ignore that last mess of information..\n\nthose three religions supposedly worship same God... First Came the Jews... they had moses.. their book is the torah... then, one day.. Jesus came... The Jews said no, you are not from God or God.. you know what happened next.. Then the Christians Started their own religion and their own set of holey books based on Jesus's life... Then, another guy named mohammed came along.. he said he was a prophet of God..The Christians and jews said.. i don't think so.. you are a fake... anyway.. his followers became known as the muslims.. has nothing to with the MOOON... Islam in arabic means peace.. has nothing to do with the moon... Moving on... The muslims have the quran... The muslims believe in same God as Christians and Jews... but they do not use same holey book...\n\nMAIN POINT...don’t' listen to what crazies out there say... All three have same god... but all look at things differently... Jews dont  believe in jesus, the are still waiting for him to come... The Christians believe Jesus is either God or the son of god and they do not believe that mohammed has anything to do with God... that he's a false messenger.. The muslims believe in Moses and Jesus.. but only as prophets of god... and They believe they believe in Quran only as source of information about God..\n\nThey should all just really learn to get along with one another.... you can't be religious and full of hate at the same time...

Okay...\n\nSo let's not deal with the "God exists" theory.\n\nHow about the God(s) OTHERS believed in instead.\n\nAre you going to tell me that cause they DIDN'T hear about Christ that THEY were wrong?\n\nHere's something else. MANY religions do NOT believe in Hell. So, how do you explain their beliefs? Are THEY wrong? How do you know? How do you know YOU aren't wrong.\n\nI believe that the WHOLE religion thing as a whole is just messed up.\n\nWhy should ANYONE believe, or pound others in the head to make them believe that what THEY know is right? Who says so? Why are the Baptists right? Or the Buddhists? Or the Jews? The Islamic? The Catholics? The Pagans?\n\nWHy can we not let everyone just go ON with their life. If they are happy, leave them be. If you are happy, just be content.

They believe! Yes it is difficult for us to think that way. We are free and were not raised Muslim. I'll give it the them on the HARDCORE ness of their faith but its whacked. I don't know of any god that says blow crap up. We are not dealing with a westernized civilization. This people are stuck in a religious time warp. We don't have their commitment. And it ain't going to be easy to stop them. It will be too late by the time you see one.

that is a prime example of why the two have different gods. in christianity even, the Jews are Gods chosen ppl. allah is a totally different god with a different chosen ppl being muslims

I asked to a Chrıst:İs Buddha a God?He said no.\n\nthat is because Buddha never claimed to be god. Buddha is more like a teacher. [thats what my Buddhist bf told me]...also christians believe jesus is the son of god...therefor they believe he is god. \n\nI asked to a Buddhist man:İs Jesus a God?\n\ni have no idea what a Buddhist guy would say...also because there are SO many forms of Buddhism. my bfs grandfather [who is VERY buddhist] says you shouldnt talk bad about other peoples beliefs and religion because that is negative and you should respect others and thier beliefs.\n\nI asked to a Muslim man what do you think about their answers:\nHe said both of them are right.So what is your opinion?\n\ni think muslims believe jesus is a prophet of god...but not the son of god. buddhism isnt a western religion so they dont even know who the heck jesus is! more probably know now but asain people grow up in a more buddhist background[ancestors].

Sorry for butting in here I know the question was directed at Christians, I am not a religious person of any description, but just out of interest I have been reading the replies from the 'Christians'! Although I am not a Christian that doesn't mean that I know nothing about what being a Christian means! And most of the answers you have picked up here are complete rubbish.\nSo don't base your final assessment on the replies you have here .\nFirstly Allah is the title given to God by Muslims, they believe there is only one God.\nGod is the title applied by Christians they also believe there is only one God.\nJesus is believed in by Muslims as a great prophet, but not as the Son of God.\nJesus is believed in as God (as part of their Holy Trinity bit)by the Christians.\nAnd if any Christian has answered this question of yours differently then they are NOT Christians.\nBut deep down I think you know all this don't you? what are you up to??

Right! Each religion says there is only one God, they just disagree on what this God's name is and how it/He should be worshipped. One thing all religions say though is that their god is LOVE and His message is love... nonetheless their most devout followers (are they one's with the most love?) go forth and kill each other in His name. Go figure huh! Incidentally Jesus was a prophet not a God. Read the Bible- he and his apostles are quite emphatic in making the point that Jesus was NOT God. Some christians have other ideas though. It's a power issue.\n\nIt would also be funny to see what happened if Jesus came back because he would NOT be a christian. Christianity was created in the decades/centuries after Christ based upon other folks interpretations of his rumoured teachings. So Christ was not preaching Christianity- it didn't exist at the time and christianity today does not actually conform to his teachings. He'd most likely be a Buddhist if anything.
