They are the same but that is only because there is only One God, creator of all things. Muslims, Jews, and Christians all claim to worship the One God, creator of all things, therefore they worship the same Deity. However, they disagree about the qualities of that Deity.
Its like Democrats and Republicans talking about Obama, the president of the United States. In some ultimate sense they are talking about the same person but in detail they are not talking about the same person.
"He that denieth the son, the same denieth the father"Yes, those are two different things: appearance and actuality. I'm sorry, I have not read the quotes you provided. Jesus says we shall know a tree by its fruit. I have heard the Koran says that killing one innocent person is the same as killing all of humanity. Those are the words of a godly tree. Yes, only by becoming fully taught, and therefore like our Teacher, do we come to know the Father. I saw a group of Muslims circled around a group of praying Christians in order to protect them with their lives. "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." Those who love know God and God is in them. These Muslims are saved and are the adopted children of the Most High. They came to the Father, not through the earthly church, but by the Spirit of Christ that is clearly in them.
"He that denieth the son, the same denieth the father"
The greatest fruit one can produce is the acceptance and worship of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
It is the most wicked of all fruits to deny the Person of the Son of God.
2 John 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrineofChrist, hathnot God. He that abideth in the doctrineofChrist, he hathboth the Father and the Son.
1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1 John 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
The God of the old testament and the God of the new testament are the same. they only appear different to those who do not know the scriptures.God appears to differ from Old to New Testament too. Paul also claims that nobody loves God (is a child of God). It sounds like the Koran is as harsh as Romans, or that the communities were equally unsavory.
John 3:36
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him."
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12
And all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness
The God of the old testament and the God of the new testament are the same. they only appear different to those who do not know the scriptures.
Anyone can see the grace of God in the Old Testament, see God's dealing with cain, and with allowing hundred of years of Noah's preaching before destroying the world with a flood. then see God's grace in the N.T. on the cross, as well as the coming judgments of hell and the great tribulation.
The Old Testament and the New Testament God are not a bit different, because they both depict the dealings of Jehovah God with humanity at different stages and progressions of his divine plan.
I fail to see your point.Oh, child! Do you not see who you are describing? [emoji26]
Those without Christ who say we know God are deceived at best and at worst they do lie indeed.
There are many false religions but only one true religion thay leads to the true God and without the sprinkling of blood there is no communion with God at all.
I fail to see your point.
Do you not heed the divine words of almighty God?
For you to claim Muslims as children of God is proclaimed false by the words of God.
Muslims do not believe in Jesus described in the bible.
They believe in a false Jesus that did not rise from the dead:
Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Galatians 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
We are told in 1 Cor 15 that the Gospel is that Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again.
Since Muslims deny that Christ died for our sins, they are accursed for believing and preaching a false gospel, ironically that came from an "angel"
I was always of the impression that God is One.I was under the impression that YHWH is the Father, not the trinity.
I was always of the impression that God is One.
Allah, a generic arabic term for god, is not the same god as that of the Christians and Jews. Scriptures in the OT prove this when Moses was told God's name forever is YHWH.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??
One God, three Persons. YHWH or Allah is the Person Father.
Allah, a generic arabic term for god, is not the same god as that of the Christians and Jews. Scriptures in the OT prove this when Moses was told God's name forever is YHWH.
In Muhammad's time there were 360 idols that surrounded the Kabah and all were referred to as allah, 'god'.
There is Biblical evidence that suggests otherwise.

Yes, and I'd recommend you start immediately.What? That's like saying the Spanish worship a different God because they say, "Dios." I'd recommend extensive research into that other thing before judging it too quickly.
Yes, and I'd recommend you start immediately.
Allah is the only name given in the Koran. A generic, "god", term. Whereas YAHWH is the name of the God of Abraham and Allah is not.
If Allah is the god of Christians and Jews then Christians and Jews should have no issue with embracing Islam.
What has the pope to do with this? He doesn't speak for all Christians. He speaks for Roman Catholics.Surely you wouldn't say "Dios" is a different God.
What you say about having no issue is correct. The Pope had no trouble embracing Islam.
