Except they don't have the same god... Christians believe in a triune God which Jesus is the incarnation of, something muslims and modern day Jews completely reject, as they are unitarians.
Lmao
They are all monotheists. Doesn't mean they believe in the same "one true god", just that they have their own separate "one true god"s
Yes we all know that religious people are stupid pedants
Well the god is still the same entity. Looking how the christians and muslim use the old testament nad Jesus bring a prophet/messiah.
Christians believe Jesus is God. So it's not the same entity.
The God christians believe in is the same Jews and Muslims believe in. Christians just believe God decided to show themselves in 3 different forms to us humans while the others don't believe they did. Doesn't change the fact it's the same God.
You can see it as Movies: You got Part 1:
But they are all based in the same cinematic universe.
The three different forms thing isn't the trinity, that moreso describes modalism which oneness pentecostals believe.
The Old testament is written by loads of people, generally noted down oral tradition, kingdom records, prophecies, etc.
The new testament is written by a bunch of guys who witnessed Jesus and they're writing down what they saw, as well as letters these guys sent.
The Qur'an is some guy who had a hallucination in a cave where he thinks god told him to marry 9 women including a six year old. Also just full on claims the bible and torah are scripture yet flat out contradicts them while claiming they're legit. Retcons a lot of stuff and Also claims Jews worship Ezra for some reason which literally never happens.
Muslims worship a god who tells them to marry multiple women and says you have to earn your way into heaven. Also believes that god never became man.
Christians worship a God who became Man and died for the sins of all, promising eternal life by grace.
Jews like to follow loads of rules and believe that the God Christians worship wasn't actually God at all.
If cousin A were to say "I worship the one true god, he has four arms and two legs"
If cousin B were to say "I worship the one true god, he has two arms and four legs"
And cousin C were to say "I worship the one true god, he has no arms or legs"
They're clearly worshipping a different god. If all three of them claimed it's the same god that their deceased grandfather worshipped, still doesn't mean it's the same god. Either they're all wrong or only one is correct.
In the same way that a splice off of a plant isn't the same plant... The plant it was spliced off of is the same plant, though.
If you plant it again, it isn't the same plant. Just because Christians, Jews and Muslims claim to have the same creation literature (The Muslims even have a completely different narrative about Abraham) doesn't mean it's the same god.
But the plant it came from is.
Christians are also saying that the spliced plant is the same as the donor plant, but the donor plant isn't different retroactively, and they recognize the donor plant as well.
