Amatorreginae said:Here's my view: Ishmael, the ancestor of the Arabs, was a descendant of Abraham, and according to Exodus 6:3 God did not reveal his Name to Abraham. So Ishmael was unable to know the name of God, probably because it had not been in existence before its revelation to Moses. Throughout Genesis Jehovah is known as El Shaddai or as (Ha')Elohim ([The] God). The word Allah is derived from al-Illah (the God), and has been and continues to be used in the Jewish and Christian Bibles. However, by Mohammed's time the identity of Allah had probably ceased to be exclusively that of Jehovah. When Mohammed founded his new religion Allah was one of 360 gods worshipped at the Kaaba. Much like the word Baal, which simply meant 'lord' and was probably at one time used in reference to Jehovah, Allah came to signify quite a different god. I feel that the word Allah has become contaminated by the Mohammedan religion and would be better avoided by Christians and Jews in the sense of the one true God.
random person said:this is truly a trick question because if my memory serves me correctly in the arabic translation of holy bible which predates the quran may have rendered yahweh as allah but dont quote me on this.
are they the same god? obviously not - 1 john 2:22-23
The god of the Koran is not, however, the God that is worshipped by Christians.There is only one GOD, really, and no other being is God, in any case. Yahweh is the one God, exclusively. Yahweh told us to remember that. Even though those speaking Arabic might call Yahweh by the term Allah, God did not author the Koran.
Yeah, given that we believe that God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that God Himself "became flesh and dwelt among us", then while Muslims and Jews arguably worship the same God, we Christians don't.The god of the Koran is not, however, the God that is worshipped by Christians.
The Koran view of the Old Testament is not the Jewish Torah. The stories are considerably different (for instance, in the Islamic view, Ishmael is the "child of promise"). There are so many differences, I would argue that Muslims and Jews do not worship the same God.Yeah, given that we believe that God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that God Himself "became flesh and dwelt among us", then while Muslims and Jews arguably worship the same God, we Christians don't.
They believe that Allah is the God of Abraham, Issac, & Jacob. There is only One God of Abraham, Issac & Jacob. They also believe in the story of Adam & Eve and the flood and the story of Noah. So they are worshiping the same God in that aspect but they have a lot of false information mixed into their theology.I hear many people say when Muslims refer to ALLAH they are worshiping the same God Christians worship YAHWEH and others say Islam is worships ALLAH as a moon God and is NOT the same God Christians worship.
So is the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob YHWH/YAH/YAHWEH... etc, the same God ALLAH that Islam claims to worship??
That doesn’t mean they’re worshipping a different god it just means their theology is flawed.Yeah, given that we believe that God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that God Himself "became flesh and dwelt among us", then while Muslims and Jews arguably worship the same God, we Christians don't.
You can say one thing about Trump and I could say something completely different and completely false about him but that doesn’t change the fact that we’re still talking about the same person.The Koran view of the Old Testament is not the Jewish Torah. The stories are considerably different (for instance, in the Islamic view, Ishmael is the "child of promise"). There are so many differences, I would argue that Muslims and Jews do not worship the same God.
Two magazines can write an article about Trump one article being true and the other article being a bunch of false rumors but both articles are still referring to the same person.It boils down to - Yahweh says to love Him and everyone else while Allah doesn't so they can't be the same deity.

That's for Jews and Muslims to sort out. Christians worship God as He has revealed Himself as Jesus Christ, Whom both Jews and Muslims reject.The Koran view of the Old Testament is not the Jewish Torah.
Let's say I meet a guy at the coffee shop, we chat, and discover we attended the same university. He speaks of an English professor he had as a freshman, a Mr. Smith (very common name). I say, "Hey, I had Mr. Smith for freshman English myself!" Then he begins describing Mr. Smith in great detail, but the Mr. Smith he describes is nothing like the Mr. Smith I knew.They believe that Allah is the God of Abraham, Issac, & Jacob. There is only One God of Abraham, Issac & Jacob. They also believe in the story of Adam & Eve and the flood and the story of Noah. So they are worshiping the same God in that aspect but they have a lot of false information mixed into their theology.
At some point we have to question if we're talking about the same Trump.You can say one thing about Trump and I could say something completely different and completely false about him but that doesn’t change the fact that we’re still talking about the same person.
Eh- Jews think they do because they think Muslims truly qualify as monotheistic. Jews happen to think that Christians are polytheistic idolators though. Orthodox Jews would be allowed to go into a mosque but not a church.The Koran view of the Old Testament is not the Jewish Torah.
