Re: Do Muslims & Christians Worship The Same God?

And this is why so many of us have petitioned you to refrain from
grouping yourself with Christianity. You are not a Christian. You are
of the "New Age" sort of faith. Your mysticism is just another version
of some pseudo-spiritual rationalism. What you have exhibited in your
posts, Bren dear, is that you're a pantheist which is really little
different from a polytheist. You appear to have caught Huxley's cold
even as China did when Yen Fu translated his 'Principles of Evolution."

But as to the question of the thread, inorder for Muslims to believe
in the God of the Bible, they must cease in their refusal to recognize
that the Creator (Personal, not some "force") must also become the only
Redeemer and Savior. This can and was only accomplished through a
divine incarnation, sinless hman life, a substitutionary death and a
bodily resurrection of the Creator Himself, Jesus Christ. When one
studies origins, we find that Islam has great deal in common with
Zorasterism and the most ancient of religions, angelic
vistation/revelation. This was the great religion of Babel.

Like most of the other Eastern religions, though it in doctrine holds
to a literal interpretation of the opening chapters of Genesis and that
Jesus was true prophet from God, after a time its followers deify its
originator. And equal in comparision, Mohammed as with Gautama or
Confucius, Lao-Tse, is that all would be horrified at the thought of
their being deified. In fact, if it weren't for Khadija, Mohammed's
wife, it is very doubtful that the faith would ever have been
formulated, let alone survived his death. For Mohammed himself thought
that his revelations were products of Jinns, or sprites as was commonly
believed at that time by both Arab poets and soothsayers. Though I'm
sure most Muslim's will cringe at the mention of it, Margoliouth in his
work, "Mohammad" argued, "there is reason to believe that his symptoms
of revelation (the descriptions of which closely resemble epilepsy)
were artifically produced and that certain accompanying effects were at
times stage-managed." (p 81). Anderson in "Islam," in "The World's
Religions" alternatively notes, "the phenomena may be explained as
symptions of intermittent spirit-possession, as claimed by modern
spiritist mediums."

What ever the source, Mohammad's A;;ah is vastly different than YHVH of
the OT.
