as a muslim you know that abraham was ishmaels father who was given great blessings by god, jews know that abraham was isaacs father and he was also given great blessings. i am grafted on to the jewish vine as a born again christian and i know that i can only get to my heavanly father through accepting jesus christ as my saviour so why can common sense not prevail and we accept that we all have the same god who only wants us to beleive in his son to reach eternity. also i do find that the non messianic jews i have listened to are unfortunately very blinkered and arrogant.
regards.

why do we as Christians think that only Christians will be in heaven? when the bible says over and over again that god will have all men saved.
let me post some verses
1Tim 2:4 God will have all to be saved. (KJV) Can His will be thwarted?
1Tim 2:4 God desires all to come to the knowledge of truth Will His desire come to pass?
1Tim 2:6 Salvation of all is testified in due time Are we judging God before due time?
Jn 12:47 Jesus came to save all Will He succeed?
Jn 4:42 Jesus is Savior of the world Can He be Savior of all without saving all?
1Jn 4:14 Jesus is Savior of the world Why don’t we believe it?
Jn 12:32 Jesus will draw all mankind unto Himself To roast or to love?
and there are many more so why do christians like u think that u have a monopoly on heaven? oh and BTW if that true then god better start kicking out the jews that are already there huh lol

The God that the Muslims worship is NOT the same as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Although the Arabs are descendants of Abraham, the god they worship today is Allah, a pagan moon god who was given monotheistic status. (This is why the crescent moon is a prominent symbol on the flags of Muslim countries.) Allah is a capricious, distant, uncaring god who does not get involved in human affairs. Jehovah is a loving God who longs to be close to His creation, and is easily communicated with through prayer, and He answers those prayers for every individual. He can change a criminal, drug addict, prostitute or drunkard into a sober, contributing member of society. Allah cannot (or will not) do this. According to Muslims themselves, you get into Heaven by your "good deeds", but Allah may decide to send you to Hell anyway for no apparent reason. The God of the Bible is not like that. Our entrance into Heaven is not dependent upon whether we've been good or not. It is dependent upon whether we accept the sacrifice that has been made on our behalf.

We accept him as a messenger of GOD.
Not the God himself............
Jesus is just a human being whome was chosen by god to be a messenger

Say: "We believe in God and what has been sent down to us; what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes; and what Moses, Jesus, and all the Prophets were given by their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. We are Muslims submitted to Him." (Qur'an, 3:84)

Because we don't believe he is the son of God. We believe that God is one. And the only way to heaven is to believe in one God and only one God and Muhammad was was the last prophet. You have your beliefs and we have ours. We will all stand before God on Judgment Day and His punishment or reward will be just.

You CAN'T understand, or you DON'T WANT to understand? They view Jesus as a prophet, and a great one at that. That's a lot more than I give the man. To me, and to many other Asatruar, he is just an interesting historical footnote with exceptionally persistent followers who quite nearly wiped us out with forced christianization and killing.

Muslims will explain to you, arrogant kenny, that the many-faces-of-G*d you Christians love so much reflects polytheism, and will also remind you that Christ never claimed to be the Messiah.
I'm not a Muslim, btw.
