SPINOFF:There are three religions with roots from the descendents of Abraham -Judaism, Christianity, Islam -?

Question

do they worship the same God?

If so, can each of these lead to salvation?

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

I believe they do all three worship the same God. Each of them CAN lead to salvation.........that doesn't mean each one is in and of itself the WAY to salvation. Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation. But anyone within any of these religions can find Him. Judaism and Islam are already halfway there, so to speak. Even within Christianity there are a lot of people who haven't found salvation. Going to church and being good won't get them there.
I do think it's pretty cool that the three major religions of the world all came from Abraham. God did tell him he would have TONS of descendants. : ) He just didn't know how many wars his descendants would be in the middle of lol.

Answer 3

No, they do not worship the same God.
There have always been people who have looked forward to the promise God made to Abraham...and through Abraham's son, Isaac, all the nations of the world have been blessed, indeed...but not through Israel.
Israel quit worshipping the true God way back in the days of Samuel, when they requested a human king. God told Samuel that they had rejected Him as being King over them. Thus, it is not surprising that they didn't recognize God as their King when He came to them as a Man, and had Him crucified, not realizing that they were fulfilling prophecy in doing so. So, no...Judaism will not lead to salvation.
Christians are not just an offshoot of Judiasm, but rather a completely new religion that recognizes Jesus as God and King. Jesus is the ONLY way to the Father. Christianity leads to salvation.
Islam, the new kid on the block, is a totally false religion, and the god worshipped has nothing to do with either the Hebrew or the Christian God, but rather is a take-off on an ancient moon god. Ishmael was NOT the son of promise, nor is there any evidence at all that Abraham ever spent any time in Mecca, or anywhere else with him. Abraham threw Ishmael and his mother (a slave girl) out of his camp when Ishmael made fun of his legitimate wife and son because his true wife was old when she bore Isaac, the Son of Promise. A quick overview of Islam, which does NOT mean "peace" but rather, submission--basically, submission to Islam--will show even a casual observer that the basic beliefs of Islam are completely at odds with the God of the ancient Hebrews and the God of the Christians. So, no...Islam will not lead to salvation.

Answer 4

I can't speak for Islam, but the God the Hebrews worshipped in the Bible and the God of the New Testament are not the same God. First of all, the Christian God is part flesh and blood, and he is a saviour to the world and its sinful ways. His name is Jesus, Jehovah, and the Holy Ghost/Spirit

The formal name of the biblical Hebrew God is "YHWH" (atleast that's how it's typically put it in English, it's the hebrew letters "yod, het, vav, het"; there are no vowels because the hebrew alphabet has no vowels and the pronunciation of God's name is lost). YHWH made a covenant with Abraham, the father of the Hebrew race, that his children would be as numerous as the grains of sand on the beach. He then passed 613 (not 10) laws down to Moses to give to the Hebrew people and gave them the land of Isreal. The Hebrews are, in a sense, the chosen children of the ONE God.

The Christian God is more about death and life after death. Essentially, the doctrine is that everyone is sinful and only by believing in the sacrifice of Jesus can you have eternal life.

YHWH is more about life here on Earth, and the preservation and upkeep of that life. Judaism is really a secular religion that lacks any strong, united belief in an afterlife.

Anyone can decide "heck, I want to be a christian", get baptized, and your done.

Judaism is the relgion of a specific ethnic group, the Jews. They don't go looking for converts, in fact they discourage them to an extent. Even if you're stubborn enough to want to convert, you then have be proficient in Jewish culture and traditions before you can be accepted (my understanding atleast).

Answer 5

1. No. God cannot contradict Himself and if you compare the God of Christianity to that of Islam, they are two completely different beings described. I would like to say that Judaism does worship the same God as Christianity, but with a limited knowledge because I personally do not think the Spirit is with them any longer since they have rejected the Messiah.

2. No because if Islam says Muhammed is the only way to heaven and Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but through me," there can only be one who is correct. It is the law of mutual exclusivity. If I tell you that I live in the United States and someone else tells you that I do NOT live in the United States, only one person can be correct, ya? Because the two statements conflict.

Answer 6

Judaism, Christianity and Islam (listed in order of founding) all worship the same God -- but each one believes that only their way leads to salvation.

Answer 7

The Bible says the road to life is narrow and few are the ones finding it and the road to destruction is cramped and many are those on it. Jesus is quoted as saying to some active Christians at the time of judgement, "I never knew you.", so my deduction based on that is that there is only one way which leads to the true God and it must be a Christian religion because the Bible says there is only one mediator between God and man. I believe Jehovah's Witnesses are the only ones who worship in spirit and in truth. Therefore, I also believe that joining them is the way to salvation.

Answer 8

Yes. They all worship God.

They don't have a mutual agreement on the nature of God.

If they all lead to salvation, bunches of people will be disappointed. There are groups that say salvation is dependent on a ritual such as baptism or a declaration of faith during someone's lifetime. Others will say salvation is dependent on merit. Some will believe that Grace will be extended to all.

Answer 9

all of these, being descendents of Abraham began with the knowledge of the one true God. The fact is though, that Salvation comes only through Yeshua, (Jesus). there is no other mediator between God and man but Yeshua- Most, Jews do not accept or have not ocme to the understanding that Jesus is the Messiah they were waiting for and Islam has rejected who Yeshua is.
Regardless of religious roots, all who call on the name of Yeshua will be saved

Answer 10

I did not know Islam descended from Abraham.

I thought Islam was started by Mohammad and he has quoted in the Koran that a muslim should not take a jew or christian as a friend.

Qur’an 5:51 “Believers, take not Jews and Christians for your friends.”.

If these religions started from the same source, there would not be so much hatred and animosity amongst the followers.

Islam is totally separate from Judaism and christianity, in my opinion.

If christians and jews have some information about muslims, it is up to them to decide whether they worship the same GOD.

I know I am a hindu and I do not worship the same GOD as muslims as our religion does not ask followers to kill in the name of GOD. We have a very peaceful religion and unless there is violence, hindus do not go out and kill or do criminal activities in the name of GOD.

Answer 11

No.,... they may have intended to start out that way... but that's wha bad teaching and ignorance brings. There is nothing wrong with Judaism...but they don't see the complete picture....but they will one day... and Muslims are a diversion by a man who was wrongly influenced and others who ignorantly chose to follow his 'visions'.....which he even questioned. A distorted God is not the God of the Bible. It amazes me that Muslims will honor Mohammed more than they honor Allah. And Mohammed was just an ordinary man. He lived, He had children... he married children, and he died. Jesus came and Christianity was the result... and Jesus lived, kept his focus and purpose for coming, and died, and came back to life to conquer sin, death and Satan. And he still lives on today. He is the fulfillment of Judaism....and He completes the picture.
