Answer 1

yes all those who believe in The One Alone God are muslims.The word “Muslim” means the person who obeys and serves only One and Alone God. In Bible, Muslim is called the servant of God. In Indian Scriptures, Muslim is called the Eishwar Dass, which further means an obedient of God by all means.
According to Quran (the Scripture, which is for everyone who lives in this world) Muslim means the most obedient of the Lord, the Alone God. It is written in Quran:

“O ye who believe! Come, all of you, into submission (unto God) and follow not the footsteps of the devil. Lo! He is an open enemy for you”.
(Quran 2:208, Translated by Marmaduke Pickthall)

“And who forsakes the religion of Abraham but a person who willfully deceives himself?___ Verily we chose him (Abraham) in the world and Lo! in the Hereafter he is among the righteous.

When his Lord said to him: Surrender! He said: I have surrendered to the Lord of the worlds.
The same did Abraham enjoin upon his sons and also Jacob, (saying): O my sons! Lo! Allah hath chosen for you the (true) religion! Therefore die not save as men who have surrendered unto Allah (the Muslims)”.
(Quran 2:130 to 132, translated by Marmaduke Pickthall)

“God has named you obedient slaves (Muslims) since old time and in this Scripture”.
(Quran 22:78)

It clearly means that whosoever ___ when ever and where ever____ submitted to the Lord, obeyed God and served God___ was a Muslim by faith.

Torah, Psalms, Gospel and Quran, all the Scriptures are saying that God is One, the Holy One. So whosoever does not believe in One God, he is definitely denying all the Scriptures. Such a person can not be considered as a believer at all.

No Prophet or a righteous-man has ever dared to say that he, himself, should be honoured like God or worshipped like God. Satan, of course, had certainly said to Jesus to worship him in place of God but Jesus had responded in the following way:-

“Go away Satan! The Scripture says: Worship the Lord you God and serve only the Lord.”
(Matthew 4:10)

In the same way, Jesus has responded in his prayer on the cross while uttering the following lines of the Verse No.23:-

“Praise the Lord, you servants of the Lord!
Honour the Lord, you descendants of Jacob!
Worship the Lord, you people of Israel!”

No doubt, it is a matter of simple common-sense that when God is One__ the Lord is One__ the saviour is one__ the Holy and Only One__ then, how his slaves or servants__ can be held as worthy of the honour & service__ which is meant for the Holy One alone. But alas! The people are honouring and serving the slaves and servants__ just like the Lord. Rather, they have chosen them as God & the Lord__ in place of the Holy One. And__ Christians are the pioneers of such ideas. They have straightaway declared Jesus as God & Lord and the Saviour. Rather, they hold Jesus as the sole sovereign of the Day of Judgement, instead of the Lord, the Almighty God, the Holy One.

It means that since Adam to Noah__ Noah to Abraham__ Abraham to David, David to Moses__ Moses to Jesus and Jesus to Muhammad (peace & blessings of God be upon all of them) all the Prophets were slaves or servants of the Lord. And, in their servant-n-master or slave-n-lord based relationship__ all of them had__ all the qualities of servants & slaves definitely. That is why that all of them stood as servants & slaves of the Lord__ throughout their lives__ and obeyed their Lord in the most positive terms.

In the lines:-

“Honour the Lord, you descendants of Jacob!
Worship the Lord, you people of Israel!”

Jesus is advising the descendants of Jacob and the people of Israel to honour and worship the Holy One. The same thing has been advised in Quran after Torah by the Almighty God to whole mankind. It means that God of Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace and blessings of God be upon each of them) is One, the Holy One. Who alone, is to be honoured and worshipped ___ by the people of Jesus__ by the people__ of Muhammad__ and by the whole mankind.

It is very simple to know and judge that when our Creator & the Lord is none but One, the Holy One, then, we should naturally honour and worship none but One, the Holy One.

Jesus has advised to honour & worship the Holy One in commanding terms. Accordingly, the followers of Jesus should honour & worship none but One, the Holy One. Whereas the followers of Jesus (the Christians) are honouring & worshipping Jesus instead of the Holy One. Such a practice on their part is quiet contrary to the demands of Jesus.

The words of Jesus:-

Honour the LORD-----
Worship the LORD-----

Are therefore declaring the practice in question, undesirable rather false which must be given up at once. On the day of Resurrection, the words of Jesus “Honour the Lord”__ “Worship the Lord”__ will definitely pass a decree against this false practice. Then where will stand the so called followers of Jesus? Who are holding Jesus as God & Saviour instead of the Holy One. Who alone, is the God & Saviour of everyone__ since inception to date__and till the last Day or the Day of Resurrection__ rather even after that.

“Worship no god but me! Do not make for yourselves images of anything in heaven or on earth or in the water under the earth. Do not bow down to any idol or worship it because I am the Lord your God and I tolerate no rivals. I bring punishment on those who hate me and on their descendants, down to the third and fourth generations.”
(Exodus 20:3-5)
Beware please! The mankind at large___ is not a Jew, nor Hindu, nor Buddhist, nor Christian, nor Muhammadan or so on. Instead all nations and all races are children of Adam (PBUH)___ and the most dignified creature of the Creator__ and the Creator is the Holy One. Who has commanded Adam and his children___ to believe in the Lord’s Absolute Oneness__ and to act, exactly, in accordance with the Lord’s Commandments. Otherwise, on the Day of Judgement___ they will be among no community but the condemned-ones.

Answer 2

NO. Muslims say they submit to God - but Allah is not the One True God - Jehovah. Even muslims will tell you that Allah is not Jehovah. Jehovah God is the One True God and there is no other. So to say we are all muslims is a bunch of rubbish. I am a Christian - as I follow Jesus Christ and His teachings. I follow the Great I AM.

Answer 3

Sorry, but no I am not Muslim in any way. I am a Christian and believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah and will come again.

Answer 4

I submit to the One God, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit
the God of the Bible

one that sub mitts to God is called "Unterwerfer" in my native language???

Answer 5

I would say no because you think that Christians ascribe partners to God (El Echad). So you don't think we submit to God.

And I don't think we worship the same God. I think Allah is probably a word that is used for "the supreme diety". That's cool. No quams about the word. Major quams about the Muslim view of who God is.

And to be honset you aren't really submitting to God if you aren't killing infidels.That's what the Koran says.

Anyway, hope you'll see the light.

Answer 6

No, I may be muslim (lower case), but I'm not a Muslim (upper case), because I reject Mohamed and the Qua'rn.

It's sorta like Christians and the word "catholic."

There are Catholics (upper case) who associate themselves with the Church of Rome, and there are catholics (lower case) who are generally Christians who recognize Christianity as the Universal Church.

It's all semantics.

Answer 7

you do no longer seek for ordinary strategies to die, yet you do no longer worry it the two. area of the project with Christians fearing dying is by using the fact they have not any reference element, whilst alive, in information what occurs later. in simple terms placed, there's no longer something in the international to furnish them a physically powerful occasion of what to anticipate. For JWs it particularly is diverse. on the grounds that they watch for the promise of a paradise earth, they are in a position to visualize what life would be like various day. They see it in the majestic superb thing appropriate to the Serra Mountains. They see it in the cool breezes of the Hawaiian plains. They sense it in the warmth temperature of spring night on the Mojave wasteland. They see it in the wonders of the Northern lighting fixtures furnishings. They hear it in the laughter of an harmless newborn, or an grownup performing like a newborn. They hear it in itemizing to a suited symphony, or a Cajun band. They hear in the sound of a Blue chicken serenading its mate, or the gentle even respiration of your spouse sound asleep beside you. they are in a position to additionally get a style of what it particularly is going to be like, to have the completed use of your psychological purposes, once you notice the works of Hawking, Einstein, and de Vinci. there are hundreds of examples, on a daily basis, of what life would be like on a Paradise Earth, for people who have faith that people have been designed to stay in the international, no longer in Heaven. Heaven became meant for the Angels. there will be people who circulate to Heaven, by using fact the Bride of Christ, and to act as Overseers over those living in the international, yet in simple terms for 1000 years, or in simple terms sometime, in the thought of time for spirit beings. The Bible would not say what occurs to them, or people who're raised in the 2d resurrection, after the 1000 years is up. in step with probability they are despatched out to inhabit different planets in the Universe. So it particularly is easy to no longer worry dying, as they see on a daily basis what life must be like whilst they come back.
