Inter Faith Immersion Program

I am always intrigued by verses which are common in both the Quran and the Bible. For example in Matthew 4.10 Jesus says "You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only you shall serve" In the Quran Chapter 3 Verse 51 Jesus says "God is my sustainer and your sustainer. Worship Him alone"

Another common thing between the messenger of Islam and the messenger of Christianity is that both are the descendants of the Patriach Abraham and both are spiritually related as all other Biblical prophets.

The most common thing of all is Islam says Muslims and Christian worship the same God. Chrirstians
also says the same according to Dr.Ben Johnson of Colombia Theological Seminary, Decatur USA.
I support Dr.Johnson's effort to start an Inter Faith Immersion Program aimed at bringing Christians and Muslim together so as to bring to an end hostilities between the two great religions

Christians and Muslims should respect each other's belief where they differ for example the Christians belief in the divinity of Jesus
