It is still considered by many that the three major monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, share the same belief in the one God: Jehovah God, or, Allah. The increasing activity of terrorists over more recent years – mainly Muslims with their war cry of ‘Allahu Akbar’ – has led many to question the truth of a common god.<\/p>\n
There are numerous biblical texts that affirm Jehovah God was the creator of all things:\u00a0Genesis 1:1-25; Nehemiah 9:6; Ephesians 3:9; Colossian 1:16; Revelation 4:11 etc.<\/p>\n
The Quran also has a number of texts that affirm Allah was the creator of all things:\u00a0Surah 6:1, 102; 13:6; 35:1-3; 39:46 etc.<\/p>\n
Since there can only be one creator of everything, the logical conclusion is that Jehovah God and Allah is one and the same; the God of the Jews, Christians and Muslims.<\/p>\n
However …..<\/p>\n
The Bible tells us that Jesus is God’s son, was crucified, and resurrected on the third day. This is central to Christianity. Without a resurrected Christ, there is no Christianity: In 1Corinthians 15:14\u00a0Paul says “And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain”. (‘vain’ in the Bible means empty; worthless; having no substance, value or importance).<\/p>\n
Contrary to the Bible, the Quran tells us that Jesus did not die on the cross [4:157], that He is not the Son of God [9:30], but simply a prophet [4:171].<\/p>\n
So, who is God lying to, Jews and Christians or Muslims?<\/p>\n
Both Judeo Christian and Muslim believers will tell you their ‘god’ cannot lie.<\/p>\n
For Jews and Christians this is stated in the Bible in a number of verses: Numbers 23:19; 1 Samuel 15:29; Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 6:18 etc.<\/p>\n
However, there are no such verses in the Quran; that Allah cannot lie is simply a belief. Understandably, to Muslims, this would be perfectly natural and there is no need for the Quran to make supporting statements.<\/p>\n
What is the point of believing in a god that can lie!<\/p>\n
Back to the question: “who is god lying to?” If God cannot lie, then one of these religions must be false.<\/p>\n
