The God christians believe in is the same Jews and Muslims believe in. Christians just believe God decided to show themselves in 3 different forms to us humans while the others don't believe they did. Doesn't change the fact it's the same God.

You can see it as Movies: You got Part 1:

  • The Torah: The Old Testament. Than you got the sequel:
  • The Bible: The New Testament. And finally a remake:
  • The Koran: Taking from both and adding it's own twist to it.

But they are all based in the same cinematic universe.

The three different forms thing isn't the trinity, that moreso describes modalism which oneness pentecostals believe.

The Old testament is written by loads of people, generally noted down oral tradition, kingdom records, prophecies, etc.

The new testament is written by a bunch of guys who witnessed Jesus and they're writing down what they saw, as well as letters these guys sent.

The Qur'an is some guy who had a hallucination in a cave where he thinks god told him to marry 9 women including a six year old. Also just full on claims the bible and torah are scripture yet flat out contradicts them while claiming they're legit. Retcons a lot of stuff and Also claims Jews worship Ezra for some reason which literally never happens.

Muslims worship a god who tells them to marry multiple women and says you have to earn your way into heaven. Also believes that god never became man.

Christians worship a God who became Man and died for the sins of all, promising eternal life by grace.

Jews like to follow loads of rules and believe that the God Christians worship wasn't actually God at all.

If cousin A were to say "I worship the one true god, he has four arms and two legs"

If cousin B were to say "I worship the one true god, he has two arms and four legs"

And cousin C were to say "I worship the one true god, he has no arms or legs"

They're clearly worshipping a different god. If all three of them claimed it's the same god that their deceased grandfather worshipped, still doesn't mean it's the same god. Either they're all wrong or only one is correct.
