Satanic Bishop. The Christian God is NOT the same with the god of Islam.

Satanic Bishop. The Christian God is NOT the same with the god of Islam. My God has a Son, His name is Jesus. He died for my sins, giving me hope of live everlasting. He reveals Himself to me in three Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The god of the Muslims definitely definitely isn't mine.
