What I meant by comparing the christian and Islamic gods is that they are both from the abrahamic faith. In that way they are the same. In the characteristics and ideology they are different.

To show this I tried using the LDS and other christians.

The LDS and Christians both believe in Jesus, but the characteristics and ideology are different.

Is the Islamic god the same as the Christian?
Is the LDS Jesus the same as the Christian Jesus?

You mean they both claim Abraham as their own, i mean no one can possibly know what Abraham believed or didnt believe.


you would have to list the attributes of Jesus in Christian denominations to see how much they differ . The point is in Islam Jesus is a man and wasn't crucified.

The source is the same, the ideology is not so much.

Christians (From what I know) view the Jewish god in a different way.
Muslims view the Jewish god in a different way. Everyone believes in a different view.

Every ideology is unique but none serve the same god; (not even inside christian denominations) but the god they view is still the bible god to them.

Forgive my intrusion, but is this supposed to be a rational thought? Aside from possible difficulties in semantics, how on Earth would you know, to say for sure? It might be helpful if you simply admitted that you are dealing with assumptions... and not terribly well thought out assumptions at that. Mormons especially should be aware that by giving any credibility to Islamic theology serves to undermine their own theology. Talk about the path to hell being paved with good intentions....

Everything in life deals with assumptions. How am I given any credibility to Islam? All I am saying is that all religions are equal.

They are to an atheist. but not to a believer ,only their own religion is the true path, theirs is the true revelation, and theirs is the path to paradise or redemption. all others are false or corrupted.

I dont think my religion is the only true path, there could be many others. I just believe my church to be one of the tools God uses.

Then you have your very own perception of God because the Muslim God amongst others ,does not allow you that leeway.

They dont allow me that, true. My own perception lets me view it that way.

That's right! to you your God allows you that, but to them their god doesnt and he has told them so .

so lets hope your god/gods are the real ones otherwise you burn in hell (well thats the theory anyway)
