correct. So when a Muslim says there is no God but Allah, they are really saying there is no god but God. Allah and Jehovah are both God, in a sense the same God. They are only different gods because people create God in their own image. So every Muslim and every Christian has a different "image" of God in their mind. It is the figurative chicken and egg, did "god" create humans in "his" image or have humans created "god" in their own limited image of what god would be if god existed? There's the conundrum.

The same God?!  Really?!  Who are you to equate them as worshipping the same God?

Have you not heard that the New Testament claims that Jesus is God and that as far as it is concerned, and even as far as Jesus' own words, rejection of Jesus' identity and resurrection is tantamount to rejecting God?  Therefore, Christians do NOT worship the same God as Muslims, since Christians worship Jesus as God and Muslims reject Jesus as God.

If we don't worship the same God as you then by comparison since Judaism, and the Baha'i faith rejects the Jesus is divine idea they don't worship the same God either....nice try though

Is it true Islam has no concept of Original Sin?

Yes we do not believe in original sin, we believe every person is born pure and from there your actions in life plus your faith determine your fate.

Are there any Quranic texts that flesh it (what you just said) out, so to speak?  


two examples:

in Surah An-Najm verses 38-41

Can you expand on the fact that Jesus is viewed by Muslims as the Messiah? That's beyond fascinating to the point of being downright jaw-dropping. Does this mean Muslims believe in a second coming or the appearance of Jesus will create the end times, Rapture, whatever one wants to call it?

We believe when the end times occur, Jesus will come back and fight against the Anti-christ with the Mahdi (he's not a bad guy here) and will lead the believers in prayer.
