IS OUR GOD THE SAME AS THEIR GOD?

Some people who loosely associate themselves with the Christian faith but deny its power, and those who want us all to dilute or deny our convictions are becoming easily convinced that Jehovah and Allah are one. So what about it-is the Judeo-Christian God the same as the god of Islam?

The truth which is so conveniently covered over is that Islam vehemently (and in many parts of the world violently) asserts that Allah has no son:

“Allah is only one God. Far is it removed from His transcendent majesty that He should have a son…” Quran [004.171 ]

“They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One Allah. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them”. Quran [005.073]

In contrast as stark as it could be, the Bible (written centuries before), declared Jesus Christ to be the Son of God. More than that, those who deny the Son are “anti-christ”:

“Such a man is the antichrist-he denies the father and the Son. No-one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also” (1 John 2:22-23).

Jesus’ relationship to the Father was a clear teaching of Jesus Christ to his disciples:

“…before Abraham was, I am” (John 8:58 ESV).

Deny the Son, and you are denying the Father also, and two contradictory statements cannot both be true.
