It's often said that because Judaism, Islam, Mormonism, and Christianity share a common historical heritage in Abraham, then they all worship the same
God, right? No, they don't. While Judaism, Islam, and Christianity are all monotheistic,
Mormonism is not. Mormons believe in many gods and that they will become gods themselves. They might worship a version of Jesus, but he's like a bad fiction version.
He's not the Jesus of the Bible. Separating Christianity from Judaism is a bit different. Both share the
Old Testament and a common ethic, referring to Judeo -Christian values. But where Christianity and Judaism separate is at Christ.
Orthodox Jews do not believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and he had some pretty harsh words for them.
If God were your father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me.
Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires.
So if someone does not know Christ, the Son of God, then he is not a worshipper of the true God. This also eliminates
Islam, since Muslims consider it blasphemy to claim that God has a son. Jesus is not
God, they will say, only a prophet. But the Bible says whoever does not have the son does not have the father either, and the wrath of God remains on him.
Jews, Muslims, and Mormons need to hear the gospel. No one gets to God except through Jesus Christ.
