IS THE GOD OF THE KORAN THE SAME AS THE GOD OF THE BIBLE?
The difference between the teaching of Koran and that of the Bible is not limited to
the doctrine of salvation, but includes the very understanding of God. In fact, all the
distinctive beliefs and practices of Islam and Christianity, stem from their respective
understanding of God. We noted that the Pope is attempting to build a new partnership
with the Muslims by affirming that they worship the same Abrahamic God worshipped b y
Catholics.
In my reading I found that this view is embraced by numerous church leaders and
scholars of different faiths. For example, secretaries of European episcopates met in
Instanbul, Turkey, for a five-day period in June 2002 to discuss the relation between
Islam and Christianity. The assumption is that by acknowledging Allah, the God portrayed
in the Koran, as being essentially the same as Elohim/Yaweth, the God revealed in the
Bible, it is possible to develop a relationship of mutual understanding and acceptance
between Islam and Christianity.
Is this assumption correct? A careful comparison between the Koranic God and the
biblical God, clearly shows that the two Gods are radically different. Though the Arabic
name Allah derives from the Hebrew name for God Eloha, the similarity is only
etymological, not theological. In other words, the two names sound similar, but their
respective teachings are totally different. To illustrate this point, we will look at a few
significant teachings.
Our aim is to show that the attempt of the Pope and other Christian Church
leaders to build a partnership with the Muslims by acknowledging their God, Allah, as
being essentially the same as the God of biblical revelation, grossly misrepresents the
biblical God. The reason is that the two Gods differ radically in what they have revealed
about themselves and their creative and redemptive acts for the human family.
From a prophetic perspective we shall show in the last part of this essay that the
new partnership between the Papacy and Islam, represents the historical outworking of
the power of the Antichrist—a power committed to promote the false worship of god and
the persecution of God’s people. We shall see that both the Papacy and Islam fulfill the
prophetic identifying marks of the Antichrist.
