In a thread about sharing Gods, then it would be religious ones, wouldn't it?

Several ethnic Jews I know are atheist.

Right, so you can be a Jew and a Christian at the same time.
 
i guess its the same god in as much as its posble to have the same person say and demand difrent things but that division exists to some degree even inside of those 3 religions
 
If there is only one god, by default all people of faith are praying to the same god.

There is only one God. There are many gods.

100% wrong.

Some Jews do believe that Jesus was the Messiah. Other Jews do not. Believing in Christ can't change one's nationality. They are still Jews.
No islam is about as far from Christianity as it gets.

Christ was not a prophet but the Son of God and the redeemer of sin.

You are correct. There are Jews who are apostates, but they remain Jews.

Which makes sure that the God of Judaism is not the god of Christianity, since the Jewsih scriptures specifically say 'God is not a man he should lie, nor is he the son of an that he should repent.', and Jesus is specifically mentioned as the 'son of man'.

If someone believes Jesus was the messiah, they are not of the jewish religion, full on stop, right then and there. They might be ethnically a Jew, but they have given up the jewish faith.
 
All three are monotheistic and acknowledge the same (Abrahamic) god. Beyond that, different beliefs about God between and within each faith vary widely.
 
Depends entirely upon the understanding of the word share

I believe there is one ultimate power that one could label "god"

so as such there is only one god with multiple interpretations of it's nature

are there lesser "god-like" beings...yes

Believing Jesus Christ is the Mesiah, that is what defines one as a Christian. If you believe Jesus was a man, a prophet perhaps, but a man. And you believe that Mohamed is The Prophet, that may define you as being Muslin. Neither of these addresses the OP. The fact is each religion was built from the ones that preceded it and thus for these three religions there is but one God.

I see. So, one can ascribe whatever characteristics they wish to God, and still claim it is the same God? Sorry, but no.

The Jesus of Judaism? He was a blasphemer. All the same guy.

Jewish is not a nationality. An ethnic Jew who believes Jesus was the Messiah is a Christian. A religious Jew can not believe so, since in Judaism, like Islam, Jesus was not the Messiah.

But the are not of the Jewish faith. They could return to the Jewish family if they gave up that.. but they voluntarily gave up the important part of the jewish heritage.

Two separate things. A messianic Jesus is incompatible with Jewish theology. They do not believe he met their messianic criteria or that he is God or God's son. You can be ethnically Jewish and believe in Jesus, but you can't be theologically so. Why are you so desparate to avoid the obvious that you deny like Peter?

Orthodox Jews would disagree. 'Jewishness' is a matter of blood, of membership within the nation of the Jewish people. An apostate does not cease to be Jewish because of their conversion. Hence, a Jewish women who 'becomes' Christian and has children would have both her, and her children, accorded as Jewish according to every traditional Beth Din.
 
For the umpteenth time, Jewish ethnicity and Jewish theocracy are not the same thing. It speaks volumes that Christians, as a Jewish offshoot sect, seek to blur such clear lines.

Do you mean Jewish ethnicity and Jewish theology? If so then sure. But those who adhere to the traditional view of the latter would find the former to be immutable.
 
My bad. In a thread about sharing a God, it would indeed be on a theological basis and not ethnicity.

And who's to say that your description is somehow more valid than theirs?

This attitude is what brought about the Crusades and the Inquisition.
