Muslims and Christians DO NOT Believe in the Same God!

Muslims and Christians do not worship the same god. In many interfaith circles that is the common
denominator, supporters in this belief always say, “We believe in the same god.” But the truth is that the God we worship as
Christians, is not the same god Muslims or any other group worships.
The Christian God Is All-Loving
He commanded us through His Son Jesus Christ to love and
pray for our enemies. He also said to love our neighbors just as ourselves. This
is a radical departure from most faiths that believe the opposite. Other faiths
teach that we have a duty for self-defense and even kill other people who are
trying to hurt us. Jesus said, “If
someone slaps you, turn the other cheek.
If someone wants your coat, give it to him.” This is a very hard thing for humans to
do. It is so much easier to hate, fight
back, swallow our pride than to love and forgive.
The Christian God is All-Forgiving
Jesus Christ taught us that no matter what kind of sin you
have committed, whether you stole, lied, or killed, God will forgive you if you
repent of your actions. He accepts a repented and contrite heart. One of the best illustrations is the story
narrated in the New Testament about the woman caught in adultery. The men who caught her wanted to stone her to
death because they believed that was the punishment she deserved. In front of what could have been hundreds of
people watching, Jesus Christ did something very astonishing which had not been
done in over 3,000 years—He forgave the woman!
The Christian God is a Personal God
When the woman caught in adultery was running away from her captors
she must have felt incredible terror. No
one else felt compassion. No one in the
hundreds of people who were ready to watch her die felt any mercy for her—except
Jesus Christ. When Christ saw her—He felt
her pain right away. It no longer was a strange matter—it became personal. Therefore, our Heavenly Father is not a
distant God, but one that feels our pain, fears, and worries. In other words, YOU can have a personal relationship with God. We can come boldly to Him.

The other monotheistic religions- Judaism & Islam both believe in the same God.... the "Godhead" is believed in Christianity- but it is reserved for the "father".
Jesus is not believed to be God by many other Christians as well.
One important thing that Muslims AND Christians have in common is the belief in the Messiah. Here Islam believes that Jesus IS the Messiah!
Read the Koran:
"Behold! The Angels said: O Mary! God giveth thee tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honor in this world and the Hereafter And of (the company of) those nearest to God”. ( QURAN "Imran" 3;45)
Islam also believes in Jesus' RETURN which comes at the end of the age. He will be PRECEDED by a kind of 'John the Baptist' ( "Mahdi").
The belief in the virginity of Mary ("Maryam") and many other prophets is also shared.
Truly, if you are a Christian, you must believe in making STEPS TOWARDS PEACE. The reconciliation comes when Christ/Messiah returns.
Let us not forget our Jewish bros & sisters for many of them are awaiting the Messiah as well.
I have a 'gut' feeling this will all come together towards that time Jesus/Eesa/Yeshua will come!
