Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God?
594240
Yes and no.\n\nIf you start, as both Christians and Muslims do (and Jews), with the belief that there is only one God, then neither can truthfully say that the other is worshipping a 'different' God, because there is only one God.\n\nHowever, they have essentially different views of who God is, and as a result, one could say that the character of the God they each worship is quite different.  \n\nThe question is, if you misunderstand God in meaningful ways, and worship Him in that imperfect way, is it still worship of God?  I believe so.  However, only the one true God is able to make that judgment.  \n\nThere is a more important issue.  Beyond worshipping God, our relationship with God is based on our understanding of Him. Key issues, such as whether Jesus is the Messiah, and the Son of God, whether God provides the Holy Spirit to guide us, and the means of reconciling with God, are critically important, and expose enormous differences among the different faith traditions.  \n\nChristians, for example, believe that Jesus was God manifested in the flesh, and provided the sacrifice that stands for all eternity, and that any (of any faith tradition) who accept His gift find forgiveness through Him.  Other faith traditions insist on some form of human works to justify themselves. Perhaps it requires a great deal of humility to accept that God doesn't need our help to achieve His way, but once we put our egos aside, we may see that God is truly in control. Only then can we begin to truly understand His will.

People even have very different thoughts of what God is like. This can cause problems.\n\nMost Christians believe God is the Holy Trinity, three persons in one.\n\nJews and Moslems do not recognize this plurality. Some Moslems even think Christians are polytheistic.\n\nSome people including most agnostics believe God started the whole thing and now stands back and watches. Most Christians, Jews, and Moslems believe God is active in our world.\n\nSome people are so enthusiastic about God that these and other issues are big important things and cannot accept another person believing differently.

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?  :)

Christians worship one God not a bunch of idols.

There is not a single unequivocal statement in the entire Bible where Jesus (peace be upon him) himself says, "I am God" or where he says, "worship me".\n\n[Mark 12:29] "Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord." \n\nSame message is repeated in the Glorious Quran in \n"Say: He is Allah,  The One and Only. "\n[Al-Qur’an 112:1]\n\nWhy did jesus pbuh said in mark 12:29 that '...the lord   OUR   god is one lord'. Why didn't he said that lord    YOUR    god is one lord. It means that one lord is also the lord of jesus pbuh.\n\nAlso in John 20:17, Jesus told Mary Magdalene to tell his followers: "I ascend unto my Father and your Father and to my God and your God". By referring to God as "his God", he left no room for anyone to claim that he was God. Anyone who claims to have a God, cannot be God.\n\n"Indeed they reject the truth, those that say "God is Christ, the son of Mary." For indeed, Christ said, worship God, who is my God and your God (Quran 5:75)."\n\nQuran speaks about positive image of Jesus... we muslims love Jesus.. be we donot believe that He is God. because There is only One God....please contact me at taimur_1984 if you have any more questions regarding islam. \n www.islamtomorrow.com

I took a class on world religions. A Muslim believes in Allah (God). He is not a very personal God. He is a God of wrath, not love like the Christian God. They believe in "converting or killing" non-muslims. Christians believe in loving non-Christians and trying to show them the truth that they may believe.

hey all, \nI wanna tell u something that most people don't know 'bout Allah 'n' Jesus.\nthey're existing....... how?\n*muslims believe in allah as god for them\n*christians believe in Jesus as god for them\n*muslims believe in Jesus as messenger \n**In islam, the one who doesn't believe in Allah and Prophet Mohammed also Jesus(Issa) is not a muslim...\nalso the one who doesn't believe in Koran, Gospel and Torah is not a muslim.\nIn general, we're not here to fighting each other... we're here to talking in reasonable way.

If you think about it, Christians are part of that same family as well. Muslim believe in Jesus Christ as a prophet as well. But Christians and Muslims are killing each other at this very moment. It's sad...\n\nReligion is a veil that leaders hide behind to get their way. Followers often are lead to violence under the guise of righteousness.

Certainly, not all of them are are... \n\nIn the cases they are though, so called Muslims (Muslim: believer, Islam: submission to God), believe that Christians are infidels; as in infidelity towards the religion of God as they see it, since they view Mohammad as the last Prophet. \n\nMost of those intolerant are of the elite ecclesiastical class (Imam: teacher), or the utterly ignorant because they're not even allowed to read the Koran or any other of their Holy books (which includes the Christian Bible) - the Koran is according to itself, another chapter of the continuing book of God, i.e. Bible and Torah are included in the Islamic book of God. \n\nMohammad is supposedly a Prophet like Moses, and His followers consequently have behaved like wise in their time, becoming persecutors/persecuted, but not all Jews were, nor are all Muslims today. (The books of Moses: Old testament, speak of a Prophet to arise in the place and time Mohammad did according to tradition "I shall raise up a Prophet, like unto me, Moses". \n\nThose that are not intolerant remember the sayings, or those like it that Mohammad stated "Anyone who harms a Christian or Jew has harmed me!", or "Be friends with the Christians for they are most like you in the world", or when asked what is this God you believe in, Mohammad said "The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob." \n\nAbraham also had the Q'blih "point of adoration", a stone to turn to when praying for those unable to be without an alter, since both were from idol worshipers; as were the Jews before the ten commandments - the commandments Moses received before, He tossed into the water because the people were not ready (a sign of the coming of greater teaching, e.g. with Jesus).\n\nThere's always more to learn and understand. Some Muslims I've met show such Love for Christ that all but two Christians I've met pale by comparison - those two spoke of nothing but the love of God and had no hate for anyone. In generally the Muslims I've met here in the US are every bit as loving toward all, as Christians, and by that standard they are one and the same.

Well , according to me . Muslims , Jews , Christians have one GOD . Before prophet Muhammad (PBUH)there were alot of prophets . According to Muslims Jesus Christ is a prophet named Isa (AS) &  Tto the christians it is the opposite .\nTo The Jews it is the same thing . Muslims think Mosses is Prophet Musa (AS) AND Jews think Prophet Musa is Mosses . Actually it is the people who were living in that age who scrambled it up .

Don't know but they assume the same with anyone who is not in their faith.  I am Muslim and Christians always try to Teach me about Christianity even though I know the Bible better than many of them. \n\nMany see Christianity not as a religion but a state of being.  IE:  They think to be a moral person is to be a Christian person.  I even had a friend try to convert me and when I was explaining the basic differences between Islam and christianity.  I stated that Muslims do not believe Jesus(peace be upon him) is God but a prophet and she told me "Christians dont believe Jesus is God we beleive he is the son of God" \nI had a landlord who knew I was Muslim but kept saying "but you are such a good Christian girl"  in reference to my behavior not my religion.  \nWhen you think that way that morality is attached with being Christain it is hard to accept that somone who is moral would not choose Christianity.

It's a verse from the Koran (Quran).  Specifically, it's verse 5:110, and is one of many concerning the life and death of Jesus which may be found in its pages.\n\nMight do Christians and Muslims a bit of good to remember that not only do they both worship the same God, but both of their Holy books venerate the teachings of a man who would have wept to see them fighting.

Basically they're the same. Christianity is a form of Judaism plus a number of other traditions and imported ideas, and Islam borrowed the basics from Judaism as well. \n\nTime has differentiated them to a great extent, that's why even their practitioners have come to believe they're not only different, but antagonistic religions! \n\nIf they concentrated in the many things they have in common, they might be able to stop all the fighting!

Yes, only the doctrines differ slightly. Some muslims refer to Jewish and Christian peoples as "infidels", because muslims say that the Jewish and Christian peoples altered the work of God, by altering the bible from it's original form. Some Jewish people say that they are God's chosen people, while some Christians would argue that the Jewish people turned their backs on God when they called for the crucifiction of the Christ. But, that is all arguable and since I wasn't there, I will stay out of it.\nBut in summary; yes, they all worship the same God. Each had a prophet. Jewish-Moses. Christians-Jesus. Islam-Muhammed.

HEY YEAH DUDE YOU ARE CORRECT BUT WE MUST RESPECT CHRISTIANS BECAUSE IF THEY LEAD A GOOD LIFE THEY CAN BE SEEN JUST AS RIGHTEOUS IN THE EYES OF GOD AND THAT GOES FOR MUSLIMS TOO
