They seem to say it is the same God... but when muslim converts to christianity or judaism , he is murdered as an apostate.
Therefore, if a muslim worships the God of the Bible, he is punished for turning away from allah..... therefore the creator God of the Bible (of christians and jews) and allah are not the same god? Correct?
See answer from a muslim to my former question

Don't believe everything you read especially those who are not educated scholars, it will only keep you confused.

It is more complicated than it sounds, but in essence they both worship 1 god, the same god. God's name does not matter, whether it is Allah or god, it does not make a difference. However there is a major fundemental difference.
Christians are split on this one, some say Jesus is god, other say Jesus is the son of god. Islam says that Jesus was a prophet and nothing more than a prophet just like Mohamed, Abraham, Moses. Jesus carried god's message to mankind and that he is simply not god. Islam is also considered the last religion and god's final word, therefore people should abide by the final rules and guidance of Islam and not go back to an older version that has less rules etc.
Muslims can not worship Jesus because he was a man, now that is a sin in Islam and yes, this means they are 2 seperate gods. This is the complicated part. Muslims believe that the bible was changed by many different roman emperors and popes to justify their politics and that Quran is totally authentic, so the word of god and his message in Islam can not be debated, while in christianity it has been changed and altered. That is why there are so many versions of god, is it jesus? is he his son? what makes Jesus his son? etc

Can you give a reference to a Muslim who converted to Christianity and has been killed? I don't think you can because there is none. Allah is the One and Only true God who is the same mentioned in the Bible, but not Jesus who was a true servant of God and was just a human.

According to Judaism, Jews and Muslims worship the same G-d.

As Muslims believe in Ishmael, the offspring of Abraham and Hagar, Sarah's maidservant, they hardly reject the God of the Old Testament. They simply disagree on interpretation. Muslims believe that Ishmael was the first son who was promised to Abraham.
No one worships the Bible. If he did, he would be an idolater. Idolatry is forbidden to Jews, Muslims and Christians alike.

No. Allah who refuse Jesus (as son of God) Is a satan (Bad angel) who refused to bow down before God. And Satan Hated God. And his followers and those who leave his way . So thats why the put the convert to death.

First of all Christians not only worship God but His messenger Jesus and His angel Gabriel (Holy Spirit) as well! So it's wrong to believe in creations of Allah and associating son to Him. So you guys don't believe in One God but you have taken 3 gods. And that's not the same with Islam's teachings.
As for Judaism, they have corrupted their Torahs and it's not correct to believe in a corrupted teaching, while we all have a Correct Book (Quran).

They do in fact worship the God of Abraham. The problem they have is with the Bible and who Jesus really was. They teach that the present day Bible is corrupt (even though it is the same as Muhhamad had) and that Gods message through it is partially accurate but the rest (that contradict Muslim theology) is mans corruption of the text. They reject Jesus as LORD and do not believe he died for our sins.

people,not just muslims, think that just because they "believe in one god that their "god" is the same god as someone else's "religion" that claims to follow just "one" god. This is not the case... allah is not The God of Abraham... islam has absolutly nothing to do with The One True God, The Creator of This universe and all that is in it.

if you meant the God of Adam & Eve, the God of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. the creator of everything, then that's the Allah we worship. we don't worship trinity, and no such a thing called trinity in the faith of God, and none of the prophets ever mentioned, not even Jesus himself.
and it's not about which religion sound nice to you. it's about where is the truth, and whoever this God is i am worshiping him. The Hell isn't nice either, i can't even put my face in the oven for one second, so can you imagine torturing people there. this is your God, worship Him alone.

Correct. The god of Islam is a false god, it does not exist. There is only one God, and only one way to God, by Jesus Christ. Islam denies that God has a son, Islam denies that Jesus is the son of God, Islam denies that Jesus died on a cross, Islam denies that Jesus is the only way to salvation. Therefore, the god of Islam is not the God of the bible. Since there is only one God....allah is not real.
