Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God?

The Muslims teach:

Quran, 5:17, "In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say: "Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all every--one that is on the earth? For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He pleaseth. For Allah hath power over all things."
Quran 5:75, "Christ the son of Mary was no more than a messenger; many were the messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how Allah doth make His signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!"

The Bible teaches:  God was manifest in flesh I Tim 3:16

Jesus is the only image of the invisible God: Col 1: 15

The World was made by Him (Jesus)  John 1:3, 10

The antichrist denies Jesus is God   I John 2:22

Since Christians believe the Jesus is Almighty God robed in flesh, Creator of the World,  Son in redemption and the Spirit of regeneration and the Muslim are antichrist in that they deny Him (Jesus) who is the One True God I John 5:20 . 

We do not and cannot profess we worship the same God.  Our God's has a saving the only name Jesus, whom the Muslims deny.  They then are antichrist.  (Acts 4:12)

Even the Birds love His Word

Even the birds love His Word!

Matthew 13:4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.

If you were to go into the bedroom of a person well beloved, but someone you did not know, you might spend time looking for something they had written.  Perhaps a diary or a journal so that you could get to know this person so beloved.  

All of my 23 years during my B.C. days (before Christ in my life), I hungered to know God.  I always wanted to know what is the real truth and the real meaning of life.  Surely there is more to life than: he was born and died, and a few things in between!  

When I met Jesus in 1973 it was upon a deal that I made with God.  Show me truth, 100% truth and I will live for You.  He showed me His Word.  From that day to this I have loved His Word, eaten His Word, studied His Word that I might know Him in Truth.  Along with His Word He left me His Spirit so together I might partake in the divine nature of God, in Spirit and Truth.  

Why, even the birds love His Word!   

I see people who say they love Him, yet they do not love His Word and all I can say about that is they did not get what I got!  

I found in preaching for 40 years it is easy to preach, because people don't know His word so they can be entertained by stories.   I also found in 40 years of preaching  it is hard to preach His word because people do not know His word so it is hard to teach of the deeper things of God.   There is a vast difference between being entertain and being taught.  A difference between a 20 minute sermon (3 bullet points, and a joke) and really digging out the pearls of God's Truths.

The Word says: it is not the man that starts the race that wins the prize but we must finish the race.  Some quickly receive the good news but then dry up and blow away in the heat of life.  You see they didn't love His Word.

How can we not live to love and eat His Word, the Bread from heaven?  

Why, even the birds love His Word.

The Church and the Mark of the Beast

1.  We know that the dead in Christ are to be raised at the 1st resurrection.  I Thess 4:16

2.  Then we which are alive and remain will also be caught up in the 1st resurrection.  I Cor. 15:51

3.  The rest of the dead live not again until the 2nd resurrection.  Rev 20:5

4.  Those who take part in the 1st resurrection will rule and reign with Jesus for 1,000 years in the city of Jerusalem in Israel.  I Thess 4:17

5.  We have been falsely taught that we will not be here during the Wrath of God, or Jacob's trouble, but will float away on flowery beds of ease in a pre-tribulation rapture.

6.  Falsely taught:  The Mark of the Beast and the Anti-Christ reign will be AFTER the Church has been caught up in the 1st resurrection, according to modern church teaching call a pre-tribulation rapture.

7.  Unfortunately the Word says that the martyred during the Mark of the Beast will take part in the 1st resurrection (Rapture).  Rev 20:4

8. Fact is the Church will be here during the reign of the Anti-Christ and the Mark of the Beast and will not be caught up until the 1st resurrection which is when Jesus comes back to rescue natural Israel from total destruction.  Matt 24:22

9.  The modern church is ill- prepared to face persecution because of the false teaching of the pre-wrath rapture doctrine.

10.  The pulpit has failed in their job to prepare us to face hard times, by teaching the prosperity doctrine of building men's kingdoms and the "Rapture".  When hard times do come will He find faith on the earth?  2  Thess 2:3, Luke 18:8
