Wow, hadn't noticed this before.


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)
