As you know I have
written several times about the fact that Christians and Muslims do not serve
the same God. There are many people out
there that say we do and that is why we should all get along.
Well as I have
written before, that can't be. Once of
the things required of Christians to serve God is that they believe in the
divinity of Jesus. Muslims say that
while Jesus was a prophet, they reject Him as God.
Well I just ran
across a passage in Galatians that seems to back me up.
Galatians 4:28-31(NKJV)
Now we, brethren, as
Isaac was, are children of
promise.
But, as he who was
born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now.
Nevertheless what
does the Scripture say? “Cast out the
bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son
of the freewoman.”
So then, brethren,
we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.
Who are the
bondwoman and her son?
Galatians 4:22-26(NKJV)
For it is written
that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a
freewoman.
But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to
the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise,
which things are
symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which
gives birth to bondage, which
is Hagar—
for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in
Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage
with her children—
but the Jerusalem
above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Hagar who bore
Ishmael which is the line that led to the beginning of Islam. So while both Christians and Muslims were
made by the same God, as was everyone else, we don't SERVE the same God. As you can see above, God makes a very clear
distinction in telling us that Hagar and her son are not heirs with
Christ. In other words we don't worship
the same God. Make sense?
(And just to be clear I am not advocating persecuting Muslims or anything like that. I am just pointing out that Scripture backs up my contention that we don't all serve the same God)
