Do the Abrahamic religions have the same god in actuality?

[paarsurrey]

I don't know. It's up to them.

I am a Christian, and my God loves all the people of the world equally, regardless of their religion or of their sexuality.
My God is a forgiving, loving God, that expects us to love one another as much as he loves us.
My God would never kill anyone.
My God would never authorize anyone to kill a human being.


so...now I am asking you: in your opinion, does it deal with the same God?

These are some of the attributes of G-d.

Regards

Islam is certainly not built off Judaism. Moses did receive Revelation from G-d directly so did Muhammad receive Word of Revelation directly from G-d; that does not mean that Islam is build off Judaism. It will be true to say that Moses and Muhammad had a common source of Revelation i.e., G-d.
Please correct your thoughts.

I hope you don't mind, but I'll base my "thoughts" on history and academics rather than your say so.

But thanks for looking out for me.

No.

Have a nice day.

It certainly doesn't sound like the deity described in the Hebrew scriptures or Quran

I'll go with 'Yes' as they are part of a continuum. Different aspects and views are bound to occur with such a concept beyond our comprehension.

At what point does it conceivably become a different god though? Jesus was a person and Christians believe he is god, which Jews and Muslims would both deny concerning God.

 

[Al-Fatihah]

In theology two of them claim they do. Muslims claim their god is the god of Abraham, and so do Christians.

How can their radically differing views about God be reconciled though? Christians believe God is triune, which neither Jews or Muslims believe. Similarly, some Jews and Christians recognize Allah's pre-Islamic usage
and argue that Islam's god isn't the same.

Do Jews, Christians, and Muslims actually have the same god all things considered?

Response: Yes. The best way to explain it is that they have the same God, but differ in God's attributes. In Islam, it is taught that all prophets, including Adam, were Muslims. Thus their religion is Islam. For Islam means submission to Allah's will. Since all prophets did this, then by definition, they are all Muslims. Though the name Muslim and Islam was not used. This term was used when Allah sent his last prophet, Muhammad ibn Abdullah.

Yet when Allah sent his messengers, the scripture would end up distorted by the people, resulting in religions that differ, but share similarities as well. This is why Islam accepts Jesus as a Prophet, yet his message has been distorted to the point where he is accepted as God or part of a trinity. Or when Moses was sent to his people to tell them to believe in Allah, and later, the Jews distorted it to where they believe they are chosen and do not accept a prophet after him. So now when Muhammad finally arrives, the Jews reject him as a prophet, and Christians reject him because he does not teach that Jesus is the only way, or that he is God, or that he was crucified.

Simply put, Islam says that they were all prophets sent to teach humankind to worship Allah, which is why Islam accepts them all as prophets of Islam. Whereas, Judaism and Christianity differs. Hence the similarities and differences between each religion, and why they attribute both similarities and differences to the same God.

Which is not even logical, reasonable or possible.

There is only the One God. All monotheistic religions have that same awareness in common. And, from my perspective, at least, the polytheistic ones have in common that they mistake facets of the One God for many gods.

Theologies and scriptures may be different, some may be more and less effective-- both from the perspectives of other faiths and from the perspectives of different schools of thought within their own traditions. But there is only the One God, and therefore all who worship only One God are worshipping the same God in common.

I believe this is true in an ultimate sense as any gods that exists are but local manifestations of one ultimate reality.

Hmmm. A little monistic for my theological tastes, but...potato/potahto.

It cannot be the same God in all three religions because all three religions are at war with each other. Moreover the three religions are critical of the inconsistencies and contradictions found in their rival religion. Thus exposing the faulty basis Islam, Judaism and Christianity are founded on.

Good question. The 'father' deity is a parallel Deity in actual meaning when we compare Jesus and the G-d of Judaism, they are different, in actuality of persona. So, I would have to say, they are for practical purposes "different" Gods.

There is no definitive answer to your question. But at the origins of Christianity and Islam they both acknowledged the Abrahamic monotheistic God.

So, I would have to say, they are for practical purposes "different" Gods. The adherents of religions define the Deities, ultimately. If people think their 'god' is different from another god, they're most likely correct. They notice the different characteristics that make up that 'god'.

It can also come down to an individual level. Is the deity of the Westboro Church the same deity of someone like St. Francis of Assisi? Even if both would say it is the God of the bible? Is the god of ISIS the same as the god of the Sufis? Even if both would say it is the God of the Qur'an?

The same could be said of the different denominations of Christianity, yet I don't know many people who would argue that the Baptists and Methodists worship different Gods.
