All right, so I'm not sure who wants to take this one on. Do Christians, Jews, and Muslims all serve the same God? Like they all say they follow the God of Abraham. There's one God, a creator.

No, they do not. They do not follow the same God. In fact, Jesus makes that abundantly clear in the Upper Room Discourse when he's speaking specifically with reference to unbelieving Jews in John 15, 21. Which, by the way, John 15, 1, Jesus highlights that He is the true vine.

That language of vine was applied to Old Covenant Israel, oftentimes in judgment contexts. But Jesus says in John 15, 1, I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. So, all the covenant promises of God, essentially, well, they are, yea and amen in Jesus. And I think that's what He's emphasizing there.

But specifically later in John 15 at verse 21, he says, but all these things they will do to you for my name's sake, because they do not know him who sent me. Okay? So, they're going to persecute you. He's cautioning, beginning in 1518, if the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you.

So, he's cautioning his disciples about the opposition of the world, and I would think, and I believe, that the world here specifically is the world that includes unbelieving Jews. I think that's verified in 16, 16-2. They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.

And these things they will do to you, because they have not known the Father, nor me." So, backing up to verse 23 in chapter 15, he who hates me hates my Father also. So, the idea is that if you reject the one sent by the Father, then you hate the Father who sent the Son. So there's no way you can convince me in light of our Lord's words that Jews and Christians serve the same God.

Earlier in John's gospel, in John chapter 8, of course, Jesus is combating not Muslims, not Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons, but unbelieving Jews. I'm not trying to sound vicious or offensive or horrible. I'm just, you asked the simple question, do Christians and Jews worship the same God? No.

So, in John 8 verse 37, I know that you are Abraham's descendants according to the flesh, ethnicity, that Abraham's blood at some level runs in their veins, but you seek to kill me because my word has no place in you. I speak what I have seen with my father, and you do what you have seen with your father. They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus said to them, if you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.

But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this. You do the deeds of your father. Then they said to him, we were not born of fornication.

We have one father, God. Jesus said to them, if God were your father, you would love me. For I proceeded forth and came from God, nor have I come of myself, but he sent me. Why do you not understand my speech?

Because you are not able to listen to my word. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

So, our Lord did not say that unbelieving Israel had the same God. There is but one only, the living and true God, who has existed eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To deny the Trinity is to deny the living and the true God. And you say, well, you know, the Old Testament did teach the doctrine of the Trinity.

It's like Warfield's classic example. You know, you've got a darkened chamber that's filled with furniture. The furniture was always there in the Old Covenant. And at times, lights were on and lights did flicker.

Yahweh said to my Lord, sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool. That's definitely a glimpse of the Son of God as, you know, God. The reference to the Lord Jesus in Isaiah the prophet in chapter 9 verse 6, these are predicates that are made only concerning divinity. So, all that that furniture was in the chamber, the new covenant comes and flips the light on beautifully, but it doesn't put the furniture, the furniture was always there.

So Jesus denies that the unbelieving Jews and the Christians have the same God. He just, he does unequivocally. So to maintain that we do have the same God is a vicious, vicious thing. I think you're not doing them any favors.

You tell them, look, you need to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. You need to come to Jesus for the forgiveness of sins. We'd say that to Muslims as well. Muslims say that Jesus was a prophet.

I mean, they esteem him in certain ways as a prophet. Well, no, He's the Son of God who definitely fulfills a prophetic ministry, but He tells you, come to Me that you may have everlasting life. And He is, you know, superior to the Old Testament prophets. He is superior to Moses.

He is superior to all. and especially Muhammad. So, you really need to come to that one who speaks the voice of God to believe on Him and to be saved. So, this idea because we're Abrahamic religions, we're all the same God, that cannot be shown in the New Testament.

That cannot be demonstrated in Scripture. It is an fortunate thing that attaches itself somehow to monotheistic religions, but if your God isn't the God defined in Scripture as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, you don't have God, you have an idol. Yeah, very good. Yeah, very super clear.
