And as Jesus told them, “You know neither me nor my Father." John. 8:19

So when Jews pray to God, does he not hear their prayers? Or to whom are they praying?


Our God has a Son , Allah has no Son..different Person...next.
Again, not to be a broken record, but Jews do not believe that God has a son. Is their God a different person?

Also, let me clarify that clearly Muslims, Jews and Christians BELIEVE in different Gods, theologically speaking. But it isn't the differences of belief and perception of God that I'm talking about, it is simply this: when a Muslim calls out in earnest to God, are those prayers lost to the wind simply because they have been born into a faith whose doctrine is wrong? Or will God, perhaps, hear those prayers, said in earnest?

If they reject the Son, they do not know the Father. Their religion then is in vain.

​God knows the heart and if someone is truly seeking Him.But I believe God would send someone to a Muslim with the truth.God will not let His glory be stolen by allah,a false god.As far as the Jews they are blinded by God right now as to the truth of their Messiah but we are all praying to the same God.

Do they accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior? Do they repent of their sin's before God? Do they believe Jesus, being fully God and fully man, came to earth to lay down His life as the propitiation for our sin's? Do they believe in the atoning work of the blood of Christ? Do they worship or bow down to anything that is not God?

If the answer to any or all of these questions is "no" then I would say they don't worship the true and only God.

In chat the other day someone played a video of conspiracy theory type stuff, and one of the things suggested in the video was that to say that the God Muslims believe in is the same as the God Christians believe in is terribly wrong and that it is not the same God.

What are your thoughts?

It struck me that, while two Christian denominations may be a thousand miles apart doctrinally, when they kneel down and pray, it's still the same God, isn't it?
In a similar way, when Jews pray, despite lacking knowledge and belief in Christ, they pray to God. Our God.

So what would suggest that when Muslims pray, they do NOT pray to God, but to something else? Even if their beliefs are... well I'll let you fill in that blank.
I am starting to feel like a hamster on a wheel... we keep on explaining with NO results :-(

Romans chapter 1:19-20. Verses 21-23 explain the rest.

God has revealed Himself to all men. Men do not like God as He is so they change Him to something more to their liking. Man has not changed in his desire to change God and God has not changed to please men but changes men through Christ that they might be pleased in God.

For the cause of Christ

I discuss with some catholic brother and they argument is same. God catholic and Muslim is the same god because God is only one. I believe it is because they believe the authority of Vatican council II in Lumen Gentium II/16.

They believe the only have power to interpret is Vatican, so what ever Vatican say is final.

True

The RRC's participation in the ecumenical movement is a strategy for bring all faiths into and under the organization's control and influence

The RCC has always compromise truth in order to gain membership and still does today

Hmm...the Vatican huh? What does the Bible say? Or do you trust man above the Word of God?

All people, Muslims alike, have the knowledge the Lord [Jesus Christ] built in their spirits ... but this is often ignored and instead they will worship just about anything else [Romans 1]

It makes no difference about what they have been taught by others .... of which they have chosen to believe

One's relationship with the Lord is a personal one .... and He can be found by anyone who will earnestly seek Him, but many have gone astray with preferences

What does it mean to "worship Jesus?"
At least recognize that Jesus is God. Than believe and follow the teaching.

Muslim don't even believe that Jesus is God, and the teaching of Quran is different from the bible. How catholic said Muslim adore God of Abraham?
