Christians and Muslims; Different God
source Christians and Muslims; different God
According to the teaching of the Qur’an it is stated that Jesus Christ was not crucified nor did He die:
Surah 4.157
And because of their saying (in boast), “We killed Messiah ‘Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allâh,” – but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of ‘Iesa (Jesus) was put over another man (and they killed that man), and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely; they killed him not [i.e. 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)]
The Qur’an then states that Jesus Christ is not the Son of God, but just a man.
Surah 9.030
And the Jews say: ‘Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allâh, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allâh. That is a saying from their mouths. They imitate the saying of the disbelievers of old. Allâh’s Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth!
Surah 4.171
O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allâh aught but the truth. The Messiah ‘Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), was (no more than) a Messenger of Allâh and His Word, (“Be!” – and he was) which He bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (Rûh) created by Him; so believe in Allâh and His Messengers. Say not: “Three (trinity)!” Cease! (it is) better for you. For Allâh is (the only) One Ilâh (God), Glory be to Him (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allâh is All¬Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs.
With these surahs from the Qur’an we can verify exclusively that Christians and Muslims DO NOT worship the same God.
Why?
Because the Christian faith clearly states that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, and that whoever believes in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, will not perish, but have eternal life.
Jesus was not just a man.
John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. (17) “For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
In addition, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, did in fact die of the cross for the sins of the world, and His Father in heaven raised Him from the dead on the third day.
These truths are not refutable as they are spoken from the true Word of God – The Holy Bible.
Jesus Upon the Cross
Matthew 27:35 And when they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments among themselves by casting lots.
Jesus Dies on the Cross
Matthew 27:50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.
Jesus Recognized as the Son of God
Matthew 27:54 Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, “Truly this was the Son of God!“
Jesus Has Risen!
Matthew 28:5-10 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. (6) “He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. (7) “Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you.” (8) And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples. (9) And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him. (10) Then Jesus *said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. (19) “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, (20) teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
By testing what the Qur’an claims as truths against Biblical teachings,
Acts 17:11 Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
We can clearly see that the Qur’an contradicts the teachings of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior as the Qur’an claims that God did not have a Son and that Jesus Christ did not die on the cross for the sins of man.
Therefore we can conclude that the followers of the Qur’an do not worship the God of the Bible as the evidence shows that the God of the Christians is different than that of Islam.
source Is the Qur’an Accurate? Ravi Zacharias explains
No doubt they are a false ”religion” they show no love like the Christian followers of Jesus. No freedom to choose who you want to follow , if you leave the muslim faith you’re dead . Jesus said I am the way ,the Truth,the Light no man commeth to the Father but through Him.
the Qur’an critically contradicts the Bible, especially as concerns the person and work of Jesus Christ. This is likely due to Muhammad not being able read, as Islam states, and thus he would have relied upon the word of others (travelers, etc.) who were overall likely to be significantly Biblically illiterate. This would explain how Muhammad could be so confused as to believe such things as that the Christian Trinity consisted of God, Jesus and Mary,[(Sura 5:116-117) in addition to speaking numerous other contradictions. http://www.answering-islam.org/Quran/Contra/#bible http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/JESUS.Vs.Muhammad.html
Islamic apologists recognize these contradictions, and charge that the Bible was tampered with, though the amount of alterations required to explain the Quranic deviations from Biblical text would require a radical amount of rewriting of the latter. However, no extant Biblical manuscript, from before the time of Muhammad or after him, agrees with the Quranic contradictions, though they conflate with the Bible today. Many Muslim apologists thus look to the Gospel of Barnabas for support, with its additional obvious anachronisms and historical errors (like sailing to Nazareth), it is believed by both Christian and secular scholars (and some Muslims such as Abbas el-Akkad) though any ancient manuscript evidence, with its additional obvious anachronisms and historical errors (like sailing to Nazareth), it is believed by both Christian and secular scholars (and some Muslims such as Abbas el-Akkad) to be a circa 14th century pseudepigraphical work.

answering-islam.org, like jihad-watch, crusader-watch, answering-christianity and so on are dedicated debunking sites that thrive on what Winston Churchill correctly said – that “if you look hard enough for something, you will enventually find it, regardless if it is there or not”.
Simply put, the faith of Islam believes in the divine inspiration of the Qur’an and that is is the latest testiment or better put “Message” from God. Thus, if you are a Muslim, you will accept the warning that it gave that the Bible was simply edited by the “hands of man”. Add to that, the original compilation known as the Othmani Qur’an still exists in three copies (I have seen one myself) and thus Muslims will automatically add that there are, unlike the Bible, no translations of translations nor are there “versions”.
From the other side, Christians obviously do not accept the Message of Islam and therefore the warning of the editing of the Bible and view the matter differently. It should be pointed out, of course, that followers of Judaism do not accept either.
Wasting time by involving in various questionable studies (any agenda based study is questionable) and textual condemnations is for my part completely pointless and just another political excuse, the answer is you believe and have faith – or you do not or even more bluntly – you are a Christian or you are a Muslim.
That was a fantastic video. Thanks for the research. Good job.
Hello Dave,
You are more than welcome. Just trying to get the truth out!
Mr. H
I will, with all due respect, disagree with the rational here. In fact Islam, Judaism and Christianity worships the same God.
The argument that because Islam does not accept the trinity or that Jesus/Issa is the Son of God is not an excuse to denounce the worship, love, appreciation or reverance for our God. Judaism does not accept that Jesus/Issa is a messenger at all, by your own analysis you must say that Jews do not worship the same God as well.
There are two main reasons that some come to the conclusion that you have, the same story that because Christianity pre-dates Islam, thus revalations by God afterwards are ridiculed (as did Jews of the coming of the Christ) or for second reasons that are more prominant, the current socio-political anti-Islam trend to galvanize support from conflict and hysteria.
Most Christian leaders have understood that in the current climate it is better to focus on the similarities, share and express joy and colaboration in the commonality of our Abramic Faith. The enemy of radicalism is in fact normality.
May the God of us all bless you and keep you safe.

Hello Solkhar,
I would like to discuss this further with you, but I suspect you might be more conformable speaking in Arabic. Please contact me and we can continue this conversation in Arabic.
