Tegan Perkins Podcast

Do​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Christians, Jews, and Muslims Worship the Same God?I explore a lot of this kind of question in depth on The Tegan Perkins Podcast, which is the current episode. One question that I hear so often and which I really had to think about here, is this question: Do Christians, Jews, and Muslims worship the same God? Many people think the answer is yes, but in this episode, I explain why I find the answer to be no, from my Christian viewpoint.What about we take a look at God's portrayal through the eyes of a Christian first? We claim God to be triune—one God who has the three ever-existing Father, Son, and Holy Spirit forms, Elohim. It’s not just a tiny detail that might be set aside, but actually it’s the core of the Christian faith. God is one in nature, yet three separate persons who are inseparably united in will and purpose.I then talk about the similarities between Judaism and Christianity as far as their shared roots and beliefs about God’s attributes. But, the Christian faith goes in a different direction at the point of the New Covenant, with Jesus Christ being its mediator. Since Jesus is denied as the Messiah and God in the flesh, by Judaism, Christians, therefore, cannot say that we worship the same God in the greatest sense.After that, my focus is on the Islamic faith that claims to be worshiping the same God as the Jews and the Christians. By considering some of the Qur’anic verses, I clarify that Islam directly disassociates Jesus’ divinity and the Trinity, the two main things of God’s revealed nature, from its perspective. While Christians say there is only one God, Biblical writings concede that not acknowledging the Son is synonymous with not knowing the Father.Qu'ran Surah's:Surah At-Tawbah 9:30Surah At-Tawbah 9:31Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:116This podcast is all about stressing the point that these are not insignificant theological differences that separate the three, but rather, they are the very foundations upon which the question of God’s identity rests. Jesus is the one who is worthy to be worshipped, and salvation is through Him only, by grace through faith, according to Christianity.My Lord and Savior is Jesus Christ, and it is only through Him that I am ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌saved.Bible Verse's: Old Testament/Tanakh (OT)Genesis 1:1Genesis 1:26Genesis 35:7Deuteronomy 6:4Isaiah 45:5–6Isaiah 48:16–17Jeremiah 31:31New Testament (NT)Matthew 2:11Matthew 28:19Mark 12:29Luke 22:20Luke 24:52–53John 9:39John 14:6Acts 4:11–12Acts 9:2Acts 11 (specifically Acts 11:26 is implied — first use of “Christian”)Acts 14:11–15Romans 4:4–51 Corinthians 8:4Galatians 2:16Ephesians 2:8–91 Timothy 2:5Titus 3:5Hebrews 1:61 John 2:23Revelation 22:8–9Resources Do Jews and Christians worship the same God?.
