Do Catholics and Muslims Worship the Same God?

Islam is the most successful heresy in history.

[grumpygresh]

Muslims worship Satan. There can never be reconciliation between Christianity and Islam, so ecumenism in this situation is dangerous and a fraud.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

The answer is an obvious NO. I hate it when libs try to claim otherwise. Idiots.

[Bringbackthedraft]

Islam is a sex based religion. They can have 5 wives, and drop as any as they like to get fresh ones. Do you really think they’ll change? Paradise gets you 71-72 Virgins and all the milk and honey you can drink to keep you going with the 72 virgins. What guy in his right mind that believes that, would accept any other God? No wonder there are over a billion Muslims, I’m surprised there aren’t 5 billion. Then again, they probably reach that figure by the next century with all the kids they are having.

I worship the Christian God who formulated the Two Great Commandments, set forth in Matthew 27:

"37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." KJV

Love is central to Christianity.

Islam, on the other hand is focused on jihad and warfare and is more a political entity than a religion. It's stated aim is world domination.

"9:5 When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them. If they repent and take to prayer and render the alms levy, allow them to go their way. God is forgiving and merciful."

One can find numerous verses in the Qu'ran of similar nature. Islam is not at all like Christianity.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

George W. Bush and Karl Rove - Islam is a Religion of Peace.... Feel good nonsense from 2 lightweight thinkers. How damaging those kind of statements are...

[CynicalBear]

That article only says Catholics can’t worship with other religions. No amount of double speak removes the clear words.

# 841 The Church’s relationship with the Muslims. “The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind’s judge on the last day.”[330] { http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p123a9p3.htm#841 }

The most fundamental differences I see between Islam and other religions are

1. Islam commands its members to use physical force to retaliate against any believers who renounce their faith; while some Christian church leaders may have done so in centuries past, such actions today are viewed as having been unfortunate deviations from Christ's mission. I would suggest that this distinction alone is enough to regard Islam as a false religion: for something to be voluntary, one must have the option to decline; consequently, Muslims' continued faith cannot be considered voluntary.
2. Islam requires that its adherents revere a person whose conduct should be regarded as despicable by civilized people. I know of no other major religion which would compel its followers to worship a person whose claimed actions would be loathed by almost everyone else.

To my mind, those differences are sufficiently severe that Islam must be regarded as something fundamentally different from other religions.

Vatican 2 teaches that Catholics and Muslims worship the same God.

Therefore, Vatican 2 is WRONG!!!!!!!!!!

[ml/nj]

The quote is from 1965, not 1994. Since 1965 we have new evidence.

Islam’s “Allah: is a pagan moon god worshipped by the bedouins. Mohammed came along and declared that this god was the only one.

[crghill]

Christians worship a triune God who is one God and three persons. Muslims worship a God that is one God one person. They are not the same. Not even close.

[drypowder]

Would the Father of Jesus command Islam to kill those who accept His son as their savior? Totally illogical and contradictory.

Catholics already had centuries of evidence against Muslims in 1965, but since then Catholics have seen plenty of new evidence about Modernist infiltration of Church offices. Consider this evidence of Modernist heresy:

841 The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."330

I hasten to add for any non-Catholic readers that the latest Catechism (CCC) is definitely non-infallible since it is derived from the non-infallible Vatican II council.

Islam is a war plan from the father of lies.

[Prokopton]

Two men may be married to one woman, but that does not mean that they are married to the same woman.

Logically, if there is just one woman, it does.

Do Catholics and Muslims worship the same God? I do not worry myself with such questions because only God knows.

[Engedi]

Correct...Islam does not believe in the trinity; they also do not believe that Jesus is son of God, they believe he was a prophet.

Do Catholics and Muslims worship the same God? I do not worry myself with such questions because only God knows.

Then do you have a problem with Modernists deceptively reversing Church teaching to say Catholics must believe they worship the same God as Muslims?

[ReformationFan]

Nope. Roman Catholics are Trinitarian. Mohammedans are not. And I say this as a Protestant.
