If so, shouldn,t they try to find the commonly agreeable interpretation of the scriptures, the prophets, and the incarnations instead of quarrelling about who is satanic and whose faith is from God? Same God would not send conflicting and divisive messages to His children. Does He? He does not want His children to quarrel and fight and hurt each other. Does He?

if Galileo proved the earth was round, that our solar system revolves around the sun not the earth, then do we believe the same theory as those before who believed in the flat earth, and the idea that everything revolved around the earth?
Just because Abraham believed in God, and his offspring became many nations. He is the focal point of religious diversity among peoples in the jewish, and non jewish histories. I am not talking about all religious diversity, I am speaking of those who claim the God of Abraham. His sons grew up fighting, and their descendants fight to this day. The Samaritans believed in the God of Abraham, but were not included in the Isrealites of the Old Testement. Christians are following after the same God of Abraham that the Jews originally were following. However, as God revealed himself in human form, God continued to instruct and give us a direction to follow, there the Jews decided to ignore and stick to their "Law". Muslims however, when confronted with Jesus, stop just as short as the Jews. Christians are founded on God became man. on the person of Jesus Christ being 100% God, 100% man. Niether Jew nor Muslim will acknowledge that. The God of Abraham stepping down from heaven taking the form of man, for a purpose. Therefore, just because they go back and say they are worshipping the God of Abraham, there is more to it. They are acknowledging their stance on there being a God, but that Jesus was just a man. So the Muslim and Jew might be closer to the same, the primal difference is what they do with Jesus. The second distinguishing point is there view of prophets and prophecy. From the book of Malachi on, there have been no new prophets to the Jews. The idea that Muhammad, was a prophet counters the understanding that God has not opened His mouth to his people in thousands of years. The idea that Muhammad was a prophet goes against the Christian understanding that Jesus was God, and through his teachings recorded along with additional witnesses of His life come the final disclosures of God until He returns, shows how any future prophets would be false. Including Muhammad. These fundamental differences can not exist among believers of the same God. At some point Jews and Muslim have said, I believe God but decided to part with God when Jesus came. Therefore it is a rift that can only be reconciled by the acknowledgement of Jesus as God's Son and the basis for our knowing God today. The God of Abraham.

Only the Muslims think all three worship the same God, except they want to kill the other two. Christians think they worship the same God as the Jews, but not the muslims. They used to kill jews, but have pretty much gotten over that. The Jews think they're alone in the worship of their God, and will kill anyone who takes a stab at them. The simple fact is, not all of them can be right. As with most things in the world, there are far more ways to be wrong than there are to be right. Unfortunately, no one knows which is which until they die. Sure, they could all compromise and form some new religion, but that could be wrong too. Maybe one of them was right in the first place, in which case the compromise would have been a foolish move.

This an attainable yet utopian hope.

There is one flaw in your statement though "commonly agreeable interpretation." This means, you all have opinions now work out and comprimise. Naturally, you are not religious. If you were you would know that each believes to be correct and that there can be no comprise rather the others would be acting correctly only by accepting his belief. This can only seem stubborn if you believe it be false, as you most probably do (still just guessing on who you are). You would never honestly comprimise that a glass is really a flat piece of paper. You know it is a glass. Therefore there can only be accepting another religion, rejecting it or peaceful accepting the fact that other people believe different things and hope they will one day see the light, or even aid them to see it. But a mergence or religion is inherently impossible.

The God of Abraham is not the god of the Muslims. The Muslim's god is called Allah the old sun god in the scriptures. They reject the fact that the God that created all things is manifest in three persons Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The Lord Jesus Christ had to become a man so He could die for the sins of the world and rise again the third day for our justification. Their prophet is dead and in hell The Lord Jesus Christ is alive.and is sitting on the right hand of God the Father. Their god Allah has to be dead and never was alive if he is only made up of one person because without the spirit all things are dead. We are also made up of the three parts body, soul, and spirit.

I recall (not so long ago in my pre-Christian days) that I too had a similar thoughts about these religions. I thought surely for the sake of peace if these religions all concentrated on the common ground and not the things that separate them then they could bridge the divide that exists between them.

The bottom line is that the gulf that exists between Christianity and Islam, despite lies to the contrary is insurmountable. Islam is fundamentally and undeniably Anti-Christian.

It is true that Jews and Christians worship the same God, but God has sent Jesus to be the blood sacrifice for all our sins and as such He will accept no other path to Him except through the blood of Jesus, His only Son.

As for Islam worshiping the same god, this simply can not be true despite their believing otherwise. Islam seeks to replace Christianity by denying the divinity and death of Christ on the cross, our only hope of salvation. Islam seeks to convert or destroy Christianity.

The God of Abraham is Jesus. If Muslims and Jews can agree to that, we can worship together.

But even between Muslim and Jews, the sacrifice Abraham offered up is a DIFFERENT SON! Why? Because they are blind to the truth in the story that GOD WILL PROVIDE A WAY.

Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.
If you had known who I am, then you would have known who my Father is. From now on you know him and have seen him!"
Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and we will be satisfied."
Jesus replied, "Philip, don't you even yet know who I am, even after all the time I have been with you? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking to see him? Don't you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I say are not my own, but my Father who lives in me does his work through me.
Just believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Or at least believe because of what you have seen me do.

Christians and Jews worship the same God. Muslims worship Allah and only believe Jesus was a prophet - but not as great a prophet as Mohammed.
The Koran says, "Fight and slay(kill) the un-believer wherever you find him." Jesus said "love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." These two statements cannot be reconciled as being from the same God.

The True Christians and the Jewish People certainly do.

the god of the muslims has very different atributes:
The Unholy Quaran states that;
allah is the best Plotter= 8:30
Deceiver= 4:142
Murderer= 8:17
Torturer=9:14
Unjust and Unfair= 17:16

Religion is only used as a cover.
If they didn't believe in a God, Israeli, Arabs and Europeans will still find another excuse to quarrel and fight with each other.
It's natural that humans quarrel and fight.

In the Bible, Abraham had a son from Hagar (not his wife) and his name was Ishmael. The Muslim religion comes from this lineage. This was not the promised child God made to Abraham and Sarah. 13 years later Isaac was born. The 12 tribes comes from him. So you have 12 from Ishmael and 12 from Isaac. This is what is going on today in Israel. Jews are God's people who did not accept him.

Muslims don't worship the same God(to my understanding)
Jews don't believe in Jesus (to my understanding) but they believe in God....go figure
Christians believe that thru Jesus they are saved and are connected to God by the Word (Bible).

Jews are the chosen and Christians are saved by the grace of God.
