Why do people say the same God is recognised by the three Abrahamic faiths, when that's obviously not true?

Both Jews and Muslims reject the concept of the Trinity, for example.

[Dargil]

Both Jews and Muslims reject the concept of the Trinity, for example. Of course they don't. The Son did not appear during the Old Testament days.

It was Jesus Himself and the scribes who quoted him that identified the nature of the Trinity. The Trinity is not named in Scripture but it is referred to with clarity.

Matthew 28:19
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

2 Corinthians 13:14
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

In my view, Christianity is the fulfilment of Messianic Judaism and this is the modern expression of Judaism. The G0d of the New and Old Testaments but not Allah of Islam.

The word Allah predates Islam. Each Arab tribe had its own idol gods and goddesses, but a number of tribes also acknowledged the existence of an unknown god they called al-ilah, which literally means “the god.” He was considered to be the invisible, supreme deity; however, they did not have a unified concept of who he was. In due time, Allah became “…a universalization of the tribal god who was often referred to as al-ilah. When the tribe encountered another tribe who had a god whom they also referred to as al-ilah, they both thought that they were referring to the same being, and so a universal idea of Allah grew among the Arabs.

explanation by example: my parents wear different clothes but the same father despite different description. similarly same one described different ways. maybe all accurate descriptions, from different view points or times. maybe some wrong descriptions but all 3 described same one "god of moses".

names: jew has el like alla christian included old testament so , name of jew same for christians.

correct trinity creed contains one so monotheism.

about physical even christians agree the appearance of father wasn't body so same as other 2. same as jesus before born in body. and jesus added body during man lifetime not lost non-physical part.

so jesus added but same spirit as father in john chapter 10.

Jesus was there in the beginning so no Jews and Muslims are not on the same page as Christians. Jesus said before Abraham was I am

Cause they are from the same region and people want simple and are ignorant.

[NamerOfStars]

Because it is- they just each attribute different aspects to said deity, and believe it has different expectations and demands.

Also, Original Sin isn't a doctrine of every sect of Christianity, and is, by its very nature, total bullshit- sin requires moral agency, and you can't have that for something that happened thousands of years before you were born. It's a marketing gimmick, nothing more. That neither Luther nor Calvin could see through it is a tragedy, especially in light of what they DID see through.

[TheorionMage]

The three faiths place emphasis on different ASPECTS of the SAME pro-creating Entity, to 'play I'm the favorite' card.
Objective SCIENCE affirms an originating genderless immortal (sentient) 'Singularity' from which all 'creation' was to eventually manifest (7 days of Creation) Humans hunger for certainty and defined limiting boundaries which 'we' strive to surmount~

[genericname85]

since neither of them can show that there is a god in the first place, arguing about "which one is more or less wrong" is kind of pointless.

by the way: in Europe, no christian believes that "trinity" means god i somehow 3 different things at once.

[jshm2]

It is true, you simpleton.

They are the Abrahamic faiths as they have the same father (Adam) The same prophetic line from Abraham, and the same God.

It's language and politics that divides us, not faith.

[petera1987]

So they claim, you simpleton. They are clearly NOT the same, not by a long shot, so stuff your condescending attitude up your ass.

[Twalli]

They holy spirit of the Holy Trinity is the same as God in the other two. They also align on a lot of core beliefs. Muslims believe Jesus was switched out before death by God and claim he was a prophet that was misunderstood.

[Avicenna]

You're correct, but I think they're just saying that all three are monotheistic religions.

[BarryLiverstone]

Because they all believe in the one God, the Creator

[AmeerX]

How is not true. We reject trinity but we accept that there is 1 God

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Ignorance.
