Is the God of Israel the God of all? Your sincere opinion please

Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and some other Global Faiths proclaim the Unity of the Creator as one of the Core tenets of their beliefs.
Why then do we have so much intolerance, hatred, and misinformation between adherents of the different faiths?
If we all believe there is Only One Creator, shouldn't there be a tolerance of those Who Worship Him in ways other than ours?

Correct me if I am mistaken, but didn't the Apostle Paul say that he didn't allow women to preach or teach?

Whos God?? There is only one Almighty God our Father. But different people believe in false Gods

The simple answer is, Yes He is. The complication comes when when you factor in the prophetic books of the Old Testament, especially Isaiah. The foretelling of the coming of the Messaiah was (and is) much anticipated by Israel. As a Christian I see that what Israel wanted is not what they got. They did not get a warrior of vengance to defeat all the enemies. Part of that problem was, in the words of the great philosopher Pogo, "We have met the enemy and it is us." The Messaiah came for all people. Jew and Gentile alike. He is a man of peace and grief, but most of all HOPE.

I have read here from some that they could not follow a God that was going to throw you into the pits of Hell for sinning. God doesn't do that, you do. I will use the analogy of the drowning man again. You are in the lake drowning and I throw a purple life preserver to you, you don't like purple, but purple is all I have. You reject the purple life saver and drown. Am I responsible for your rejection? No! I offered a way and you chose to ignore it at your own peril.

In the New Testament Jesus quotes from Isaiah frequently. John tells us that God gave His only begotten Son to pay the price for our sin. The only payment God will accept is that of blood from a "spotless" lamb.

The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is truly the God of all.

In a Friday, there will be a Sound from the sky it is the voice of Gabriel. That sounds is what will happen in Jerusalem during Christ's return. On the same time Imam Mahdi will emerge in Madina city of Saudi Arabia. Sufyani with his army will move via Iraq to Saudi Arabia to kill Mahdi. However the earth between Mecca and Medina will swallow this army before it even reaches Imam Mahdi. Mahdi will go to see Jesus and praying together when Christians see that they unite together with the Muslims and build up the front of right, which dominates the world.

First in reply to Winlei. Movies are scripted, but that particular movie was based on a true story and as much as it was aimed at entertainment value, it was also aimed to open people's eyes to the everyday realities that those of us that live in first world countries rarely or never hear of. As gruesome as the event from the movie that I described was, it does happen in reality. One cannot simply wear rose colored sunglasses and expect the world to change.

In reply to msharmony's first point. Would you consider the deaths and murders of innocent children to be "just"? No matter how you describe his state of being, it comes down to a simple standing of right vs wrong. If a man whom is bulletproof stands there from start to finish watching another man shoot and kill someone then is he not just as guilty as the one that pulled the trigger?

I would have to at least partially disagree with your second point. While it has always been my personal belief that if a god did not exist then the world would(likely)be ripe with chaos for the reason you mentioned. I certainly don't think in the least that it would be easier and more desirable for a god not to exist. For starters, people are not designed to be self sustaining. I've seen even the worst of people often go to their peers to ask for advice. We crumble without the wisdom and guidance of other people.

My point being that it's 100% easier for us to follow a path laid out for us by a "god" than to thread our own path. When people do walk their own path they often end up lost and that's when they end up defaulting back to the god path. Our race is young and still learning, perhaps some of us still need the god-crutch. but as psychology and understanding of the human mind advances, eventually we'll all learn to walk our own path. One not paved with slavery, prejudice, war and murder(All things promoted and condoned by organized religion).

If a cult murdered a few dozen people that didn't follow their practices, would you follow that cult? How about a religion that murdered over 100 million people for not following their beliefs? Because the majority of Americans and Canadians already are, that religion is called Christianity. Now I'm not here to bash one religion in particular. I think most of them have committed their fair share of crimes. But Christianity really tops the cake. From be-headings of pagans(non-believers)to witch hunts(burning people at the stake)to all out wars and genocides all in the name of Christianity. And when Columbus "founded" America he slaved away the native settlers and had them converted from non-religious to Christianity. So it's a religion that's been forced upon Americans from day one, and now we brainwash our kids with it. Again I'm not saying Christianity is the worst religion by any means, I'm only using it as my primary example as it best fits my point.

I can't go through life without knowing if he truly exists or not. I don't care about getting on his good side and I'm willing to upset him if it means he'll show me a sign. Because: "I'd rather have a sure nothing than an uncertain something!"

So I've been trying to come up with ways that'll most certainly provoke him, if he exists that is. Mind you I don't want to get in trouble with the authorities. Any ideas?

I disagree . We were created on the 6th day and God created us. Yes it said when we die where are they? The second you die your soul returns to God who created you. After the anti christ comes. Then jesus will come and end it all. Then all the living and dead shall be judged.

And yes they do I will have to look it up the scripture about men laying with men and woman laying with woman. A couple verses after this scripture says God says he will surly use them as examples for eternal burning.

in reference to Not every one is a christen why should we read the bible.

God gave us all free will. It is your choice to follow him or not to follow him.

nobody is going to burn in Hell... you may not like it there. but your not going to burn there.

You see, the cost of maintaining a constant 850 degrees coupled with the cost of fuel and furnace repaired has made it a non viable expense.

We just can't afford it anymore.

Sure we have a hot room (the check in lobby) to give the impression, but once out of there its pretty normal... it just really sucks there.

But your not going to burn, so don't sweat it.. o.k.?

Exactly. Hell is an old pagan belief along with the belief in an immortal soul. It doesn't come from the bible. How could anyone live happily when someone else is being tortured.


Revelation 7:17
For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’ ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”

Revelation 21:4
‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

That is a good question. Now I am curious

Yep, Satan will be bound for a 1000 years there :) as he is now.

Yeah...I mean whatever the age is calculated ...it's in terms of the years...the time that earth takes to complete a revolution around the sun.

How can this calculated figure be realistic if suppose our planet was rotating at say half or may be double of it's current speed??

if you plan to get married, under whose beliefs?
if you plan to have kids, what will you teach them about faith?
