Sometimes it is hard to tell the intentions of what people are saying when it comes down to religious conversations.

Allah is a idol stone moon god which pagan Arabs worshipped century's before mohhammad even was born ! There is no love in allah, he did not die for our salvation nor did he raise from the dead & he certianlly did not create the universe, & has no spirit. The God of the bible on the other hand is love, died for our sins, rasied from the dead,& is a spirit.
Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Isa 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
Isa 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Mat 16:21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
Act 10:40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
allah & the God of the bible are very different & are not the same !!

I assume you know what the Christian God is. Allah, is the lord of the Muslims. But there are many attributes designated to Allah. First of all, God has gender. For example: Goddess. Second Allah has 99 Names and Attributes. There are more, but I'm not a scholar.

I get what you're saying, and agree. People talk about "God this" and "God that," when they could be speaking of any of countless gods.
In the context of religious beliefs across human history (including prehistory), the JCI religions (Jews, Christians, Islamic) are essentially worshipping the same god. It is a supreme, single, masculine deity who threatens punishment to nonbelievers and whose laws are set down by men in holy books.
Prior to the JCI faiths taking over, humans generally believed in the co-existence of multiple deities, each with distincitive traits and stories, as well as the intuition and brain being the primary source of spiritual information (as opposed to ancient texts and religious leaders).
People think of the JCI beliefs as ancient, when they are really quite young compared to the tens of thousands of years during which most people would've laughed at the idea of there being only one god.... much less having a male creator god, which makes no sense to begin with. For almost all of human history, we accepted multiple deities without a second thought. Too bad we couldn't go back to that.

Both Christians and Muslims adopted the Jewish mythology (AKA Abraham's god) but they just have different ideas about what that god is like, what he wants us to do, how he will deal with us if we're good or bad.
The scary part is the number of people in both religions (all 3 counting Judaism) who consider anyone who does not believe exactly what they believe to be less than human and therefore not worthy of being treated as such. This obsession with their particular version of what are nothing more than a bunch of made up stories plus the proliferation of nuclear weapons is truly scary.

Christianity is the followers of Jesus Christ. Christianity is to be Christ like. The God worshiped by Christians is the same God as the Jewish God. The God of Israel, the God of Abraham, the God of Issac, the God of Moses, the God of the Holy Bible.
Islam and the God they worship, Allah, is not the same God.

Muslims appear to be confused. They think God and Allah are the same Being. If they bothered to compare the Bible with the Quran, however, they would quickly discover that there is a big difference.

Sometimes, I think that may be the case and I agree with you. The attributes which make up the personality are completely different. One is a God of Love and the other is a god of the sword and of war. PEACE!!!

Well the Islamic religion says they believe in the same God of the Bible. I don't agree with that tenant, but it is what they believe.
