Another God or the Same God?

Question

Muslim's worship Allah
Jews and Christians worship God or Yahweh.
Allah seems to be violent
and Yahweh seems to be peaceful.
Are they the same or different?
I'm not a bigot or anything, I'm just asking.

Answer 1

Muslims (and Islam) say Jesus was a prophet but they reject all His teachings ....that is hypocrisy.

They reject Christ's divinity;
they reject his claim to be the Son of God;
they reject his death on the cross...
they reject His ressurrection..
They reject Jesus is the Christ/ Messiah...
Need I say more...?

Don't be deceived. The Islamic god is totally different than the God of Jesus Christ.

The Bible calls Muhammed and those like him false prophets:
"Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-Christ, that denies the Father and the Son. He that denies the Son, the same has not the Father." (I John 2:22)

Answer 2

Same God. Allah is Arabic for "The One God", the same God that was worshipped by Abraham, Moses, etc. Let me just ask you a question regarding the "peaceful" God. In the Old Testament, entire cities are destroyed, the earth flooded, a father is told to sacrifice his son, and all the firstborn sons of Egypt were slaughtered. By no means, are these all of the violent incidents in the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible. Now I am not being judgmental and saying that none of this should have happened, but I ask you, are these events really non-violent? Granted, God did not allow Abraham to actually sacrifice Isaac, but I maintain that to ask a father to sacrifice his son is still violent.

Answer 3

My answer for you is One God /Supreme Being of many
different religions. However if you believe Jesus Christ
is the son of God, you will be saved. And Jesus Christ
was born of Christmas Day. They all worship God in their religion and God in different religions have different names Allah,Yahweh; I believe in the Trinity Father, Son
and the Holy Spirit.
One God with many different names.This is a free country
to believe as you see fit, you have a personal choice to
Believe what you want to believe. Research the subject,
pray and try to make a decision on what you want to believe.

Answer 4

LOOK, Quran is in Arabic ok, so the word ALLAH means GOD in arabic!! ITS THE SAME GOD! the whole violent thing is because of radicals, actually God is very peaceful, Yahweh is the hebrew word for god, its nothing different. NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE RADICALS!! its very peaceful religion i think NOBODY should judge ANY religion with out talking to TRUE followers first.

Answer 5

It seems OK for Jews to call God "Yahweh" but when we call Him "Allah" we are accused of having another God??
Allah is His name in Arabic, as the Quran is originally in Arabic. Our Prophet was an Arabic man.
Just because we have violent-fanatic Muslims, does not make God violent. Why are you accusing The Creator of something some idiots do??

Answer 6

Arab christians who call God "Allah" are worshipping "Yahweh", but Muslims who call God Allah are not worshipping the same God.

The Koran says that "Allah is the best of schemers (trickers, deceivers, liars!!!).

The Bible says, "God is not man, that He should lie."

That's a fundamental difference. Don't you think.

However the Bible also says, "You are just like your father, the father of lies" (Now who is that talking about?)

God Bless, Muslims friends. Turn away from Islam. It is not worshipping the true God.

Answer 7

I know there are Muslims on this forum and they can address this in the way they see proper, however there was a god by the name of Allah who was a Moon god.

I could accept that Allah is the Arab word for god, but which god.
If their Allah is not the Moon god, then why is he represented by the crescent?

The God that I pray to made the sun, the moon and the stars, and everything else in nature, and He made man.

Answer 8

Great question. It's kind of like if you say, my favorite President was "President Bush." Then I say, "Which one?" Then you say, "George Bush." Then I say, "Which one?" Then you say, the one who said, "Read my lips . . . no new taxes!" Now I know who you're talking about.

In these two religions, God is not an abstract concept, but a person with characteristics and personality and attributes. The difference between the two religions is not just how God is named, but WHO he is and WHAT they claim he is responsible for doing.

While Muslims purport "Allah is God, and Mohammed is his prophet" (and that Jesus was simply a prophet), Christians counter claim, saying "Jehovah is God, and Jesus is His Son" (and that Mohammed was a false prophet). So you have two mutually exclusive claims, making it a description of two different personalities, therefore two competing gods.

If you have two mutually exclusive claims, only one can be true. Does this help?

Answer 9

I used to believe we all worship the same God only different names, until I got a nasty e-mail the other day from a Muslim who
I always defend,telling me Allah is not My god .The Christian God does not exist.I was very shocked by this.

Answer 10

The presentation of God in the scripture has to be the most important asset for the reader of these divine books. Any distortion of the image of God in any of these books has to represent a distortion of the claimed scriptural texts as God has special qualities that canot be denied, distorted, degraded or damged by human intervention. While some passages of the Bible and the Quran agree on the same qualities of God, there are some passages in the Bible that totaly distort God and His qualities when compared with the Quran. We will present here both groups of qualities that agree and the others that disagree. Let us start with what the Bible and the Quran agree about regarding God.

Answer 11

Bingo.
They are different. People just smile in the Muslims' faces to keep them from going off on us.
Again.
They are different Gods with different names and different agendas and different personalities.
Only those in denial of the truth and ignorant of history say that we worship the same God.
Yahweh does not equal Allah. Period.
