Why do Jews say their GOD is the same as the Muslims but not the Christians ?

Question

THANK YOU LADY SURI - YOU ARE ANSWER WAS BEAUTFUL

Answer 1

Christians got Jesus, Jews do not recognize him.

But all 3 faiths recognize Abraham (Ibrahim) and his covenant with God, so it is indeed same God. Technically.

Answer 2

LOOK HERE:

well, the Old Testament (Bible), Koran and the Torah all have similar stories. moses, Adam and eve, Abraham are mentioned in all three books. the dispute comes with Mohamed the prophet of Allah (Koran) , Jesus ( Isha in the Koran) Bible New testament.

The Jews are still waiting for The son of God to return. Christians say Jesus is the son of God. Muslims say that Mohamed was Allah's greatest prophet.

Jews and Muslims are similar in that both are ritualistic. Neither culture will eat pork, or an animal that was not killed properly (by the neck) Also in the Jewish and Muslim faith one goes to heaven by your actions on earth. example: you must live a good life and your good actions must out-weigh your bad actions (in some ways its a little more complex that that). Christians say that if you accept Christ as your savior you will go to heaven. There is a lot that I did not explain because I would be typing all night long. but that's most of it in a nutshell.

Some people will say that Jews ans Muslims believe in one God and that Christians belive in 3 gods but that is not true. Christians belive in the holy trinity, One God three personalities. the Father the Son and the Holly spirit. Christians belive God has 3 personalities (in some way) example I am a: father (to my child) a manager (to my employees) and a Husband (to my wife) in that way i have 3 personalities. Thats the best way I can explain the trinity. When Jesus died on the cross, God (nor did the trinity) did not die because Jesus died in flesh only not is spirit. Its all very complex. Now, Jews and Muslims will say that the Trinity means 3 Gods but they are wrong!! I do not try and tell a Muslim what he or she belives because they have worshoped and studied Allah, therefore I do not expect a Muslim or a Jew to tell me what i believe. I hope I did not confuse you.

Answer 3

I've not heard that before, but if they do say that it's because people of the Jewish faith don't recognize Jesus Christ as the Savior of the world. They feel that the Savior has not yet come.

The patriarch of Judaism is Abraham. The Lord God told Abraham that his wife Sarah would bear him a child in his old age. That child, Isaac, was the child of promise, but Abraham and Sarah wouldn't wait on God. Sarah gave her maid servant to Abraham so that she could take the child as her own. Abraham became the father of Ishmael, and Isaac was born several years later with Abraham and Sarah being the biological parents.

Isaac and Ishmael never got along and neither have their descendants. There is constant war in that part of the world. People of the Islamic faith descended from Ishmael. Jewish people descended from Isaac.

Christ was a Jew. The Old Testament of the Bible prophecies about a savior coming to the world. Christians believe that Jesus of Nazareth is the Savior. That would be the only reason that they might say their God is different.

Answer 4

Because Christians claim that Jesus is God which for them is not. He is not a Son of God like what the Catholics claim as God's begotten and not made.
For the Jews and the Muslims, he is just a Prophet like the other Prophets that were written in the Old Testament. I agree with the Jews because there is nothing mythical about him. Christians specially the Catholics, have not stood away from the stories of Mythology taken from Persian, Roman and Greek.
God is one and there is no other.

Answer 5

Well, since Jews rejected God from being their king, way back in the days of Samuel, you can't really expect them to recognize Him, now can you?
Come on, now...they wanted a human king, rather than God, even though God, through Samuel warned them just what a human king would be like...and lo and behold, God had told them the truth! It didn't take long at all for the human kings to tear the kingdom to bits...and the rest, as they say, is history.
Now, how do they expect a human Messiah-king to be any different, even supposing that the guy could prove his lineage, which, given the fact that Israel was pretty much leveled less than a generation after Jesus warned them it would happen, might be just a tad difficult, but even if he could, he's gonna have some serious problems.
I mean, even if someone were to come on the scene who could get the Muslims out of there, and rebuild the temple, and even conquer the rest of the world...which seems pretty far fetched...what then? Sooner or later, this super hero would go the way of all flesh, and then what?
Oh, yeah...back to the same slime heap Israel was rescued from.
So it has been since they got brought out of Egypt to the promised land....
But you have to give them credit for perserverence, anyhow!

Answer 6

I find most Christians are in denial of where the origin of the Muslim God originated from. Those Jews I've spoken to are realistic enough to know just as the Christian God has roots in the Judaic G-d, Allah has roots in the Christian God understanding of God. It's a matter of evolution of society and culture. Given enough centuries another major religion will stem out from the Islamic understandings of Deity. One can close their eyes and scream this isn't true, but pretending facts don't exist doesn't make the facts false.

Answer 7

I don't think you could get a jew to actually say that mainly because they descended from Abram through Issac and not Ishmail like the muslims try to claim, plus Allah was a babylonian moon god that was prevalent in the area where the islam profet Muhamud was popularized at. And there is quite a drastic change in god's character in the old and new testaments of the bible at first glance but the closer you look at St. Paul's epistles in the new testament the more you realize it's really the same God but in the new testament God is open to more than just the jews so i'd say he'd have to have a little bit more "public appeal"

Answer 8

It will depend on which Christian you talk to. Also which Jew you talk to.
If we go by the idea of only one creator God, then yes, we share that in common. But when we look at the attributes of God as described by Muslims, and those described by Christians and Jews, one might find enough differences to decide they are not talking about the same God. I say "might" because I have not studied it sufficiently.

Answer 9

Jews generally say that the monotheistic God of Islam, Christianity and Judaism is the same. However, it is believed that Christianity's version of monotheism is less pure because they represent God as a man (Jesus Christ) and believe in the Trinity.

Answer 10

Well I would not say that Jews think Christians or Muslims believe in a different G-d, but we definitely believe in a single G-d like Muslims as apposed to a trinity.

Answer 11

Because Christian's God is Jesus. Muslims consider him to be a very important prophet, but not a God. Jews consider him to have been nothing but a trouble maker.
