| I grew up learning that Jews and Christians have the same God but what about Muslims? A Professor a Wheaton was placed on leave for saying Muslims and Christians worship the same God. |

| Yes they all have the same god. They all have the same root as well. |

| They are all descendants of Abraham who worshiped one God. Jews came from his son Isaac and Muslims came from his son Ishmael. |

Hope this isn't some pot-stirrer looking for trouble.
Sort of. They have the same root. The Christian God shows up in the Trinity but Islam is against that. Jesus in the gospels is very different from Jesus in the Quran on things like eye-for-eye justice, dietary restrictions, separation of church and state, turning the other cheek, and so on. |

Yes this is true. All 3 religions most closely follow their books. Muslims and the Koran, Christians with the New Testament and Jews with the Torah (which Christians also read). |

| Actually, troll seems like a pretty good guess. Most people already know the answer to this question. |

| Even the blasphemer is communicating with/about the same God as the rest of us, because there is only one God - any monotheistic religion is dedicated to the same God as the rest of the others; it's just that some people are misguided. But being misguided about how to communicate with God and what he's trying to tell us doesn't mean that another God exists. That is simply not true. I'm not sure how any one who claims to believe in God could conclude differently. If you're a polytheist, I'll give you a pass on this one, but any monotheist should fundamentally understand more than anything that there is one God and he has a relationship with all of his creation. The fact that some people misunderstand that relationship doesn't take away from his singleness. |

Sort of. There's one God, but he's the father, son (Jesus) and Holy Spirit. As a Christian I was taught that Jews believe what Christians did before Jesus came. That Jews are still waiting. Same God though, Jews just don't recognize Jesus. |

| I'm Jewish and don't think my god is the father of Jesus. |

| Christians believe that Jews and Christians worship the same God, but I don't know any Jew who believes that. |
