Thanks for the response, Zeeshan. I hope you are well as well. Yes, according to Christian scriptures we do not believe in the same God, and according to your scriptures we do, although there are major differences in doctrine. I believe that those differences in doctrines are what truly seperate us because our doctrines pertaining to salvation are completely at odds with one another. Again, I liken it to the Jews and Christians in the first century: BOTH claimed to worship the God of Abraham, but according to Christ they both were not.
I do appreciate what you have to say, and hope you take something meaningful from my words as well. I have done a little studying when it comes to the "errors" in manuscript copies and I assure you that the errors found in the ancient texts do not interfere with the innerrancy of the scriptures. Biblicaly inerrancy is the inerrancy of the message itself, not the physical text. The message of the scriptures has been preserved over the centuries throughout the numerous copies - that is what's "inerrant".
Is not the Uthmanic Koran only a copy of the original? Was not the original a compilation of written manuscripts and oral recitations collected by Mohammed's scribes? How do you know the exact message of Allah was passed on by the 50 Companions correctly? By faith that Allah could preserve his message; it's also faith that Christians know that our scriptures have been preserved for us, despite minor textual varients that are to be expected in any ancient manuscript.

My friend, the Islamic doctrinal position on salvation is completely different from Christianity's. Muslims do know of Christ - He is spoken of in their scriptures. But their scriptures do not teach that his is the Son of God, the way of salvation. Again, the Jews recorded in many of the gospels said the knew of the Father and worshiped Him, but Christ said they did not know Him. He said if they knew the Father they would know Him, and if they knew Him they would know the Father. The Jews "know" of one of the "forms" of God (as you put it), but they are not saved. Same with Muslims.
In Christ,

You believe in the Trinity, right? 1X1X1 = 1 God with three forms...or as many as He wishes, actually. Muslims not seeing the truth about 1 of the forms, doesnt mean they don't know the truth about one of the other forms.
