"Is the God of Islam the God of the Bible?" was the title of Sunday evening's teaching message by Pastor Eric, which explored the linguistic, archeological, theological, and logical reasons why the God of Islam and The God of the Bible are not one and the same. A contrast was provided regarding the character of the God of the Bible and the God of Islam noting the distinctions and differences. A discussion of importance of the Trinity was given, as well as the historicity of the Bible as compared to other sacred works.
