Yes, the only difference is that of the 3 only the Christians believe that their prophet also is God.

Another question..

If you do believe they are the same god, and you are a believer of one of the religions, why dont use describe yourself as those religions as well?

Because I'm not a fan of organised religion.
Too much infighting, because the different denominations all fish in the same pond.
And simply because I hate dogmas.
I also happen to luv my individual autonomy, which always is greater solo than when you're part of a group.

No, they are not the same God. Jews and Christians worship the same God, but the Jewish people do not recognize Jesus as the son of God. The muslim god is not the same God that Christians worship. If you do a quick google search you'll see that what Christians believe about God is very different from what muslims believe about Allah.

I agree with you! The muslim God is NOT the Christian/Jewish God. The Christians believe that Jesus is the messiah. NOT just a prophet. This is very important because Christianity is all about JESUS and his life, death and resurrection and how he is the Way to Heaven.

muslims believes that they worship the same God of jesus and mosas and abraham (peace be upon them all)

i don't know why christians always insist that we don't worship the same God , are they have any clues ?
because i will like to argue about that

the trinity in christianity is God the father and the son and the holy spirit
muslims worship God the father only , but christians insist that all of them one God
so , if we (muslims) believe in one of them , it mean that we worship the same God

That does not change God - we believe in the one God and we believe that Jesus Christ is the messiah promised in the Old Testament who showed us the way to God and we believe that the Holy Spirit is a Force sent by God to guide us every day.

"Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple."

Like the video says: Muslims believe that God wrote a book (the Qu'ran). According to Christian believe, God turned his message of love into flesh and blood - into a human being named Jesus from Nazareth. Jesus is the message, He is the way - and only by following him we find God.
