Not Complicated

Yes and no are perfectly good answers for some questions.
“Will Christians and Muslims ever agree?” No!
“Don’t you guys worship the same God?” No!
“Isn’t Allah the same God that’s in the Bible?” No!
Some things just cannot be resolved and this, in my opinion, is one of those things. The Koran says:
“They are unbelievers who say, ‘God is the Third of Three.’ No god is there but one God. If they refrain not from what they say, there shall afflict those of them that disbelieve a painful chastisement.”
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” Matthew 28:19
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1
“But Peter said, ‘Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the price of the land?’ ” Acts 5:3
It is very clear that the belief systems are too far apart to ever come together. We are as different as night and day. We do not believe in a ‘Third of Three’ God.
Don’t make it more complicated than that.
