Answer 1

No, and yes.

Jews, Christians, and Muslims all worship the one true of God of Abraham.

Unfortunately each group however has different points of view about how to worship God.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

Yes, they are very different for several reasons. The Lord God of the Bible is Jehovah, our creator and our redeemer. The period of time recorded in Leviticus was at a time when the Jewish people were living under the law given to Moses by God. We must remember that God made a covenant with Abraham and promised him he would be the father of many nations. Gen. 14:15-16. Sarah, Abraham's wife, was childless and in spite of God's promise she would bear a child she took matters into her own hands and sent her handmaid (Hagar) to Abraham to get a child through her handmaid. Ishmael was born and then Sarah found she was pregnant (in her old age) with her own son Isaac. When he was born Sarah had Abraham cast Hagar into the desert with her son. As a result, two distinct groups of people were created, the Jews from Isaac and the Arabs from Ishmael. Because Isaac was the legitimate heir of Abraham a child born to a handmaid was not an heir of Abraham. This is the reason the Jews are the chosen people of God. We read in Gen. 16:12-13, that an angel of the Lord told Hagar that Ishmael would be a"wild man" who would set his hand against everyone. In the book of Gen. 15:18, God made an everlasting covenant with Abraham and told him his seed would inhabit the land between the great river in Egypt to the great river Euphrates forever. God does not break covenants God also stated in Gen. 12:3 that He would bless them that blessed Israel and curse those who cursed Israel.

Please read Gal. 1:8-9, Paul writes that anyone who preaches any another gospel other than the one the disciples preached would accursed. Jesus Christ is the Word, John 1:1 and never changes, therefore His word never changes and we are admonished not to add to or take away from the Word of God.

Allah was originally worshiped as the moon god of the nomadic desert tribes, the descendants of Ishmael. Mohammad changed the concept of the moon god into Allah in order to unify the desert tribes. The Koran was written about 650 years after Christ. When the Bible, which is revered by Jews and Christians alike, was deemed by Mohammad to be in need of change he was actually breaking the commandments of God.

Answer 3

God the Father created every thing. Before God created, the only one with him was the word. There was only two in the God Family, He in now ,enlarging the God family. John 1:1.

God the Father has many Names, but Allah is not one of them.
If Allah suppose to be a god, he is a false god made by man. God did not create any other gods. He is Elohim, the Almighty, Who create the heavens and earth.
Leviticus has to do with the old Law, We now have God's commandment, that we should obey.Still God has said " the wages of sin is death.

Answer 4

There is only one God. Jews, Christians and Muslims all say they pray to that one God. But the attributes they each associate with God are different and that reflects in their behavior.

The God of the Jews and Christians is a God of peace. Jesus was a man of peace. It takes something like Pearl Harbor or 911 to get them to the point of war. If a man is alive today that could represent their God, it would probably be someone like the Dali Lama who promotes peace.

The God of the Muslims is one of war and conquest. Their first and only Prophet was a warlord who led a massive army on conquest and conversion. It takes very little to get them rioting in the streets, burning down churches and embassies and killing people. A book, a movie, a cartoon, and a quote by the pope all were considered sufficient by the average every day Muslim to go on a rampage. The modern day person that would best represent their God, would be someone like Osama.

Answer 5

bible is true doctrine for the christians&they believe in God. muslims worship allah

Answer 6

It is because you do not see that the Old Testament was pointing to Jesus as the Savior. That is one most important difference....All through out the Old Testament, there are scriptures that speak of Jesus. You dismiss him as just a prophet.

Answer 7

No.
The word 'Allah' is merely the Arabic for 'God'.

Picking and choosing violnet parts of the bible distorts the whole message of the book. As with the Quran, it is a good guide to those who observe its intent.

Answer 8

No. Allah is just the Islamic name. Judaism, Islam and Christianity all spring from the same source, Abraham, and all trace back to the God of Abraham, whatever language God's name is, Hebrew or Arabic.

Answer 9

Do Buddhists believe in a creator god?

No, we do not. There are several logical reasons for this. The Buddha, like modern scientists, sociologists and psychologists, believed that religious ideas and especially the god idea have their origins in fear. The Buddha says:

"Gripped by fear men go to sacred mountains, sacred groves, sacred trees and shrines." *Dhammpada 188

Primitive man found himself in a dangerous and hostile world, the fear of wild animals, of not being able to find enough food, of injury or disease, and of natural phenomena like thunder, lightning and volcanoes was constantly with him. Finding no security, he created the idea of god in order to give him comfort in good times, courage in times of danger and consolation when things went wrong. To this day, you will notice that people become more religious at times of crises, you will hear them say that the belief in a god gives them the strength they need to deal with life. You will hear them explain that they believe in god because they prayed in time of need and their prayer was answered. All this seems to support the Buddha’s teaching that the god-idea is a response to fear and frustration. The Buddha taught us to try to understand our fears, to lessen our desires and to calmly and courageously accept the things we cannot change. He replaced fear, not with irrational belief but with rational understanding.

The second reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is because there does not seem to be any evidence to support this idea. There are numerous religions, all claiming that they alone have god’s words preserved in their holy book, that they alone understand god’s nature, that their god exists and that the gods of other religions do not. Some claim that god is masculine, some that she is feminine and others that it is neuter. They are all satisfied that there is ample evidence to prove the existence of their god but they laugh in disbelief at the evidence other religions use to prove the existence of another god. It is not surprising that with so many different religions spending so many centuries trying to prove the existence of their gods that still no real, concrete, substantial or irrefutable evidence has been found. Buddhists suspend judgement until such evidence is forthcoming.

The third reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is that the belief is not necessary. Some claim that the belief in a god is necessary in order to explain the origin of the universe. But this is not so. Science has very convincingly explained how the universe came into being without having to introduce the god-idea. Some claim that belief in god is necessary to have a happy, meaningful life. Again we can see that this is not so. There are millions of Atheists, free-thinkers and Buddhists, who live useful, happy and meaningful lives without belief in a creator god. Some claim that belief in god’s power is necessary because humans, being weak, do not have the strength to help themselves. Once again, the evidence indicates the opposite. One often hears of people who have overcome great disabilities and handicaps, enormous odds and difficulties through their own inner resources, through their own efforts and without belief in a god. Some claim that god is necessary in order to give man salvation. But this argument only holds good if you accept the theological concept of salvation and Buddhists do not accept such a concept. Based on his own experience, the Buddha saw that each human being had the capacity to purify the mind, develop infinite love and compassion and perfect understanding. He shifted attention from the heavens to the heart and encouraged us to find solutions to our problems through self-understanding.

But if there is no creator god how did the universe get here?

All religions have myths and stories which attempt to answer this question. In ancient times, when man simply did not know, such myths were adequate, but in the 20th century, in the age of physics, astronomy and geology, such myths have been superseded by scientific fact. Science has explained the origin of the universe without recourse to the god-idea.
