Answer 1

Jehovah and Yahweh are simply different proposed translations of the God of the Bible as He disclosed Himself to Moses in Exodus 3:13-15 by the name YHWH. This is referred to as the tetragrammaton (four letters), and its pronunciation is unknown, as the Jews considered the name too holy to utter, and simply referred to it as "the Name".
Jews and Christians claim the same God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; but disagree on His nature. Since (most) Jews reject Jesus as the Messiah, they reject the revelation of the nature of the God of the Bible as being Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as revealed by Jesus, the Son of God.
Allah is claimed to be this same God who revealed Himself to certain men in the Bible, including Abraham, Moses and Jesus; but Muslims affirm that the Scriptures were corrupted and therefore that Allah was misrepresented in the Scriptures commonly accepted by Jews and Christians (the Old Testament, or Jewish Tanakh), and the New Testament, as received by Christians.
Therefore it can not be truly said that Allah is the same as the God of the Bible.
The God of the Bible has promised the Jews that He would faithfully regather them into the land (Israel) in the last days and send them His Messiah who would establish His universal Kingdom. Muslims deny this. Christians, who believe the Bible affirm this, but believe the Messiah is Jesus Christ, who returns to earth in power, whereas His first Appearing was to deal with sin. The Jesus that Muslims believe in is not the Jesus of the New Testament.
Mohammed said: "God (Allah) has no need of a son.
Jesus said "I am the Son of God" (John 10:36)
God does not contradict Himself, therefore someone is mistaken.

Answer 2

I'm Christian.

After looking at all these things, i must say that Christianity and Judaism have the same God (sort of), but Islam does not.

This is because the Jews have the Old Testament (Torah), which Christians accept as true, and God there is consistent with the God the New Testament (which Christians accept but not Jews). The New Testament is an addition to the Old. But the Koran (which claims to be an addition to both the OT & NT) gets several things in the New & Old Testaments wrong: for examples, it says Moses was adopted by Pharaoh's wife, not his daughter as in the OT; Abraham almost sacrificed his son Ishmael, where the OT said he almost sacrificed Isaac; NT says Jesus is the Son of God, Koran says He is not, etc.

The Christian God is a Trinity, which is to say He is expressed as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The Jews, in the past, only knew God the Father. The NT introduces God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Then the Koran, which should be an addition to the NT, denies both God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, while Jews can be said to worship the same God as Christians, the same cannot be said of Moslems.

Answer 3

The Torah is an accurate book that the Christians placed in their Old Testament nearly word for word. The Qu'ran contains variations of accounts from the Torah but are greatly distorted and not accurate.

I am a Christian and I do believe Jehovah and Yahweh is the one true God. Allah however is the pagan moon god. If you ask a muslim if Allah and Jehovah, Yahweh are the same they will either say no or will, like a dumb parrott, say "There is no god but allah" and avoid the question.

Answer 4

I'm christian. Yahweh is not the same God as Allah. The word Jehovah technically does not exist. It is a poor transliteration and expansion of the hebrew tetragrammation YHWH. It was in this form for thousands of years because Gods name is holy and not utterable for believers. Overzealous protestants, in their fervor to translate the bible into the common tongues, paid little attention to accuracy. This is why the catholics overzealously decided to burn bibles...they were seriously flawed. The jewish canon and christian old testament are very simular. they contain the books of moses or pentateuch, prophets, wisdom, etc. The christian bible includes the New Testament, the fulfillment of the predicate Old testament. There is little similarity between the judeo-christain bible and the koran. The koran is a late development of a younger religion beginning with Mohammed in the 7th century. It contains simular prescriptions for cleanliness and law to some of the O.T., but the O.T. is history focused religious teachings and records. The koran is a war manual ('islam' means 'war' or 'battle' [salaam means peace]) infused with law, cleanliness prescription, philosophy, and religion. Allah has much different characteristics than YHWH as defined in each book...there can be no comparison here. the character of Jesus cannot be reconciled with Allah or Mohhamed.

Answer 5

hi! i'm a christian...seventh day adventist , to be specific...Jehovah to the Christians is the same as Yahweh to the Jews....because both are the same God of Abraham , the father of the FAITHFUL.... and the christians obtain their faith from the Jews/Israelites...however, allah to the muslims is not the same as Jehovah or Yahweh...the reason is that Jehovah or Yahweh had his words written in the form of the scriptures, the bible....allah's words are not the scriptures but are in the koran, a different book altogether....therfore if their books/words are different, then it makes sense that their sources are also different....mind you the main difference difference between the Jews and the christians is Jesus who is spoken of so much in the new testament ...which the Jews do not believe in....the Jews are still waiting for their messiah , thinking of someone else from Jesus....the christians interpret the prohecy books of the Jews to come to the belief in Jesus....but the Jews would not accept Jesus because they would like their messiah to be someone to release them from earthly enemies and put them to the top of all other wordly emppires....so the difference here is the acceptance or not of Jesus...but the God who prophecied of the messiah is still the same God: Yahweh or Jehovah...God bless

Answer 6

I think the best way to find out for yourself is to look up all these religions on Wikipedia and compare them for yourself. There is no "short answer" for your question.

I am Roman Catholic, and I believe in God and the Holy Trinity (The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit). In my opinion, Allah, Jehovah, and Yahweh are all the same--the Ultimate Higher Power. Each religion just calls Him different names, and praises Him in different ways. In fact, as a Catholic, we sometimes call God "Yahweh" since this is what the Jews called God during the New Testament.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Koran doesn't contain any of the Testaments. I think it was written by the prophet Mohammed.

Answer 7

Short answers aren't going to get you insight....

I am a Christian:

The old testament was written by the Jewish people over thousands of years by Prophets of Jehova (YHWH). It is referred to as Holy Scripture and it it is absolutely true.

The new testament was written by Jews who were followers of Jesus in 60+ AD, and we hold thousands of copies of the original documents to verify its inegrity throughout museums all over the world.

The qu'ran was written nearly a thousand years later by a non-jew who was a political and religious leader. He claimed to have seen angels in a cave and was inspired (much like the modern day mormon cult).

As for doctrine there are some clear differences between the muslim 'god' and the Christian God.

First, muslims claim that no prophet had ever sinned, and because of this the stories of Abraham lying to the Egyptians in Genesis raises an issue. Can you lie be justifiable? The muslims believe that it can. If you are a prophet or allah, you can lie and there not be anything wrong with it.

In contrast the God of the Bible, YHWH who became a man lived a perfect life and died on the cross for the forgiveness of man's sins, CAN Not Lie. It is impossible for God to lie. Further the bible says that all scripture is God breathed, thus the bible is the perfect and living word of God.

The muslims claim that god is distant, and you can know know Him. Christians claim through theology and personal experience, that God is personal and is knowable through Jesus Christ.

The muslims (who were formed 700 years AD) claimed that the new testament is full of mistakes and that mohammed was the last and greatest of the prophets, and that Jesus was just another prophet like the rest of them.

One of the major significances is that Islam is nothing more than a man-made self righteous religion that says if you jump through enough hoops, you might get into heaven if their "allah" is in a good mood.

The God of the Bible hates injustice, and He will punish injustice wherever it is found. He will NEVER let a human into heaven if the human is not absolutely perfect. I.e. never lied, never lusted, never disobeyed his parents, never stole, etc. Only Jesus Christ lived this life, being fully man and fully God and he went to the cross to die as payment for our lawlessness, so that in His mercy, he can JUSTLY allow evildoers into heaven (if they repent of their sins and trust in Jesus as the only way).

Answer 8

No.

Yahweh = God's name in Hebrew
Jehovah = God's name in English

Allah = Allah used by Jews is only another form of saying "God". It was not used as a personal name.

Allah = Allah in Islam was taken from 99 other God's that were worshiped at the shrine and was given Divine status from Muhammad. The other God's in the shrine were then removed and the history of Allah's 3 daughters were mostly removed. One of Allah's daughters still remain at the shrine, represented as a rock and kissed by travelers.

Answer 9

Christian .
Yahweh and Jehovah are the same.Hebrew is Yhwh or Yhvh .In English we use vowels so they were inserted and the Y was changed to a J.So you have JeHoVaH instead of Y-H-V-H.In Hebrew and Arabic Y is used for J like" Youseff "for "Joseph".
As far as Allah he is an evolution of the Moon God "El Allah" the same as Bel or Marduk in Babylon and Assyria.No he is not the same God.The Christians and Jews both believe in Jehovah we just think He is a triune God ,Father ,Son and Holy Spirit.
1x1x1=1 true God.....One what....three whos.One in essence.

Answer 10

I am a Christian, and I am amazed at Christians who said that Allah is the same as Yahweh. Apparently Christian doctrine isn't being taught as it should.

Here's why Allah is not the same God who sent Jesus to earth:

In Islam, the Qur'an states rather clearly, "Proclaim: Allah is One. Allah is Eternal. He neither begets nor was begotten." (Surah 112:1-4)

In Christianity, we believe that Jesus was begotten. (John 1:14) Jesus clearly states that He is God: "Truly, truly I tell you, before there was an Abraham, I am!" (John 8:58, Cf. Exodus 3:14) Naturally, there are many other examples I could use, but it wouldn't really help.

Now, we have a conundrum. Either Islam is right, and Jesus is not God, nor begotten; or Christianity is right, and Jesus is God, and is begotten. We can't have it both ways. Islam will never hold to a belief that Jesus is God. And Christians will not accept that Jesus is not God, and is not begotten. Therefore, they are not the same God.
