Jews and Muslims both worship the God of Abraham no matter what name they may use.
Christians worship a God which is different and both Jewish and Muslims scholars agree that the Trinity is a foreign God.

Muslims (and Islam) say Jesus was a prophet but they reject all His teachings ....that is hypocrisy.
They reject Christ's diety;
they deny his claim to be the Son of God;
they deny his death on the cross...
they deny His resurrection..
They deny Jesus is the Christ/ Messiah...
In fact, the Quran says : "Allah has no son".
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)

You are mistaken. All believe in the creator God; the God of Abraham. All 3 religions are based on the Ancient Hebrew society. The Christian Bible incorporates the Hebrew Bible, known to Christians as the Old Testament. The trinity is the distinguishing factor between Christianty, Islam and Judaism, though. Jesus is, for Christians, the son of God; that is he is of the same substance of God. That in no way means that Christians are worshipping a new God.

Not all Christians believe in a trinity. That's a Catholic concept. Most monotheists believe there is only one God. They believe this regardless of the name. Deity or God is God and there aren't any others. So to say the Christians worship a foreign god makes no sense because such a god wouldn't exist in monotheisitic thinking.

Many Muslims and some Christians have the misconception that Christians believe in three gods. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all believe in and follow the God of Abraham (pbuh). Christians just have a very confusing justification for the deification of Jesus (pbuh).
Trinity is not three gods, but three attributes of one God, comparable to how Muslims have the 99 names of Allah.

Gensis 26:24 says, "That night the Lord appeared to him and said, I am the God of your father Abraham."
The Christian Bible contains the first five books of the Torah, which is the Holy book of the Jewish faith.
Muslims may have the same god, who they call Allah, but they trusted the prophet Muhammad. Muhammad exalted himself above Jesus. Muhammad died and, of course, was never resurrected because he was just a man.
Christians put their faith in Jesus, the son of God. Jesus was crucified, died and His Father God resurrected Him. He lives.
Matthew 3:16-17 says, "As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, 'This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."

Rev Kip - The moon God, WTF? and you're a spiritual chief? Explains lots proper to the approach of multiple Christians accessible... *Shakes Head* Do you not comprehend that Muslims (and multiple Jews) hint the origins of Islam decrease back to the 1st new child of Abraham, who God additionally suggested could the be the father of an incredible people? So do you carry it against Jesus that his mum and dad weren't christian? because of the fact Mohammed based the religion, of direction he replaced into born right into a various one. and those loopy reference you made proper to the pagan daughters he allegedly worshiped, you're able to learn slightly extra. Mohommed truthfully denouced all scripture on the subject of them as "The Satanic Verses" and suggested such ideals had no place in a monotheistic relgion. anyhow, directly to answering the question. bear in mind, I talk of the wider Christian approach, and not the unquestionably faith itself which preaches tolerance of others... Christianity has under no circumstances cherished different religions. to comprise Judaism. all people bear in mind the Inquisition? Or the actuality that Pope John Paul II admitted that the church bore some duty for the holocaust because of the fact of that is intolerence of Jews? Ever heard the age old tale that we use the blood of a christian harmless to make our passover matzah? Christians desire to piggy decrease back off of our faith so as that they have got a love hate relationship with us, yet common won't have the ability to denounce us because of the fact they did borrow our God and not any other way around. The immediately out hate for Muslims comes from the actuality that whilst Jews purely could get with this technique, Islam replaced into shaped after the dying and hoopla of Jesus. we don't desire to grandfather clause him in, yet they outright rejected him. Oh, that and Christians look an intollerant lot because it extremely is (lots to Jesus's chagrin, i'm specific).

From the picture of the Trinity doctrine that appeared after the Council of Constantinople in 381 C.E., from the Tome of Damasus in 382 C.E., from the Athanasian Creed that came some time later, and from other documents, we can clearly determine what Christendom means by the Trinity doctrine. It includes the following definite ideas:
1. There are said to be three divine persons—the Father, the Son, and the holy spirit—in the Godhead.
2. Each of these separate persons is said to be eternal, none coming before or after the other in time.
3. Each is said to be almighty, with none greater or lesser than the other.
4. Each is said to be omniscient, knowing all things.
5. Each is said to be true God.
6. However, it is said that there are not three Gods but only one God.
I invite all believers in the trinity to search the Bible, especially the 27 books of the Christian Greek Scriptures, to see for yourself if Jesus and his disciples taught a Trinity. As you search, ask yourself:
1. Can I find any scripture that mentions “Trinity”?
2. Can I find any scripture that says that God is made up of three distinct persons, Father, Son, and holy spirit, but that the three are only one God?
3. Can I find any scripture that says that the Father, Son, and holy spirit are equal in all ways, such as in eternity, power, position, and wisdom?
Search as you may, you will not find one scripture that uses the word Trinity, nor will you find any that says that Father, Son, and holy spirit are equal in all ways, such as in eternity, power, position, and wisdom. Not even a single scripture says that the Son is equal to the Father in those ways—and if there were such a scripture, it would establish not a Trinity but at most a “duality.” Nowhere does the Bible equate the holy spirit with the Father.

lol, just so everyone knows--the quotation that another answerer used as a "proof" of the trinity from Genesis is a serious misrepresentation. The three men that are referred to are universally understood by Jews as referring to three angels. Sorry, not the trinity.

The New Testament records Jesus saying that Almighty God is a spirit. The New Testament also records Jesus teaching his disciples the "Our Father" prayer.
How can Jesus be God? He wasn't a spirit. If he and God the Father were one, wouldn't he have instructed his disciples to pray to him? If he was truly the Lord, wouldn't he have instructed people to worship him?
Christians believe in the crucifixion of Jesus. In the New Testament, he is recorded to have gone to a private place to pray prior to that. If Jesus was the Lord, who was he praying to? Himself? He prayed to The One Who gave him life--Almighty God. None other.

How then do you explain these words written by the Apostle John, the disciple whom Jesus loved, written circa 85 A.D:
"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word (Jesus), and the Holy Ghost: AND THESE THREE ARE ONE." (emphasis mine) 1 John 5:7
Here is the Trinity perfectly explained by John, a disciple of Jesus, and please note that these three are one=perfectly equal.
Or if you prefer the Old Testament:
"And God said, Let us ( please don't make me crack up by inferring us=2, us=plural) make man in our (again plural) image, after our (there's that word again) likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."
Genesis 1:26
There is only one God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost and these three are one. Thanks for asking.
