In denial of Jesus Christ, Islamic God not the same as Christian God

“Say this to the people of Israel ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations.” Exodus 3:15

“Here the God of the Christian faith is telling Moses to notify the people of Israel not to tamper with his name. The concept can also be seen in a different verse of the bible where God says, “You shall have no gods before me,” Exodus 20:3.

Both of these versus of the Bible support the idea that there is no other God than Him. Since these commandments were given to Moses, prior to Muhammed’s own development of Islam, the two cannot be said to be the same.

The question of whether or not Muslim and Christian faiths share the same god is answered through their versions of belief. Muhammed had the Islamic belief in one god, rather than the seemingly paradoxical view of the Christian trinity, in which God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit exist in one separate but unified entity.

Yet these contradicting beliefs have been said to be one in the same by the papal authority of Pope Francis.Francis accepts all beliefs as he is both a politician and a keeper of peace, but in doing so he blurs the lines between Christianity and Islam. In the Bible, God calls himself many different names, but still, they always apply to him and only him. Through the Christian scriptures, God is said to be the only deity and made of three parts. Not one singluar being with one high most prophet.

Islam directly denies the diety of Jesus Christ, and in doing so thus denies the Christian God. In fact the very notion of God or Allah having any children, certainly not one incarnate with man, is flatly rejected by Islamic doctrine.

Separation between the two religions mainly exists from the crucifixtion and the cross. Naturally, the separation causes the two religions to have conflicts with one another by firmly believing in their own ideals. The Christian god died on the cross out of love, the Islamic interpretation did not, and this difference being one of the two largest between the god of Christians and Allah of the Muslims.

The Trinitarian language from the Bible is what develops the belief that God is made of three parts. Confusing the God of Christianity with Allah is doctrinally inaccurate, as Allah has no trinity.

The Christian god also does not require earthly actions from his followers in order to obtain salvation. According to the bible, salvation is based on faith in Jesus Christ. Quranic teaching however maintains that salvation requires numerous works on par with the importance of faith. The same god would not have differing entrance requirements.

The god of Christians did not call his followers to war or, but rather to love. Throughout numerous contradictions however, the Islamic god calls his followers to both this and warfare against non-believers.

Another blatantly obvious difference between the Christians and the Islamic gods is the men who originated their faiths. Jesus was a poor carpenter who lived on the charity of others, and gained nothing but death from his preaching. Muhammed however gained power and glory out of his own. Not to say that this reflects negatively in anyway, but rather that the Christian god and god of the Muslims began in very different circumstances and carry different connotations.

These personal differences are insignificant when considering the vast doctrinal differences between the Christian and Islamic gods. Biblical god is a triune being, with salvation based in Jesus Christ. Islamic teaching on god denies Jesus’s diety, and offers salvation through and equal comparison of both faith and works. Therefore, with all this being said, it is defintive that although Christians and Muslims do share an Abrahamic past, they do not worship the same god.
