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. [/quote]

Not all Christians believe in the Trinity.  Muslims believe that Jesus is a prophet, like Moses, that was sent by God to teach.  It is not my understanding that Christians' only holy scriptures are the New Testament, and thus Christians also have as part of their heritage, eye-for-eye justice, dietary restrictions, etc.  The big difference is that most Christians believe that Jesus is the son of God.  Muslims don't.  IMHO, that doesn't make that God any different - just makes their belief in Jesus different.

If you do not believe in a Trinity you are not Christian- the Trinity is a basic tenet of Christianity.[/quote]

Wikipedia says this: "Modern nontrinitarian Christian groups or denominations include Christadelphians, Christian Scientists, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Dawn Bible Students, Friends General Conference, Iglesia ni Cristo, Jehovah's Witnesses, Living Church of God, Oneness Pentecostals, Members Church of God International, Unitarian Universalist Christians, The Way International, The Church of God International and the United Church of God." [b]Frankly I haven't heard of most of those and wouldn't have included Jehova's Witnesses, LDS or some of the others as Christian. [/b]The Trinity is in the New Testament, so I don't know how a Christian denomination couldn't believe it. [/quote]

LDS is not Christian?  I think that is news to them![/quote]

LDS believe in Jesus as the Christ, but not in the Trinity? I really need to find a good objective book on Mormon theology. [/quote]
