Same God or different God?

How can we tell if Christians and Muslims worship different Gods, or worship the same God but have different ideas about God's attributes and actions?

Easy: 1. You shall know them by their fruits.


2. Read the Koran.

How does this answer the question?

That's the only answer you need.

OK. So if there is good from from both groups, they worship the same God? Is that what you mean? Or bad fruit from both? And what if there is a mix of fruit from both? (Which there is. For sure, from Christians, as I have seen bad fruit and good fruit from them, first hand. I have read about both good and bad fruit from Muslims, but I have very little first hand experience with them.)

And I haven't read much of the Quran, I admit. But far as I know, it refers to Allah, as its name for God. I'm sure it records a different set of attributes and actions to Allah than the Judeo-Christian Bible does to God. But this doesn't help me answer the question.

Anyone else?

Let me ask you a question:

Are you a born again Christian?

Not the same. The sacred writings to each are incompatible.

How in the world is this relevant?

No, I am no longer a Christian.

That's what I figured based on your question.

Re: Same God or different God?

The Qur'an makes frequent ref to Scripture, and as long as you do not "join other gods with..." God, would include you as a believer. I'm about 2/3 of the way through it, and have found no substantial inconsistencies with the Bible and the Qur'an; a couple minor cultural ones.

My understanding is that the Qur'an is based on the Pentateuch,
and I've found no reason to say otherwise.
