Well, of course, you'll receive no argument whatever from this particular observer on the fact of ONE GOD Who purposely chose to reveal Himself as the Triune Creator-God of the entire universe: God the Father, Son and Blessed Holy Spirit. Polytheism reigns supreme among the pagans of the world, but God the Father, Son and Blessed Holy Spirit reigns supreme above all. Lord Jesus, we worship (Gr. proskuneo) Thee as Wonderful Lord & Redeemer alive forevermore! Amen & Amen! http://arthurdurnan.freeyellow.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is true that our God is not the same God as say the Gods of the Hindus. However, our God is the same God as the God of the Jews and the God of the Muslims. Now one may argue that the Muslims are wrong about God, and in that case, I would definitely agree with you. Just the same though, all three faiths originate from the God of Abraham. Finally, Buddhism has no God. It is not a religion by the conventional definition at all, but more of a philosophy than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHen man does not come through Jesus, they will not see God as He is, and so will "create" gods in images they can understand. I so appreciate Paul's approach at Mars Hill in Acts. He basically saw an idol in Anthens with the words "To an unknown God" inscribed on it. Paul told them that this God whom the sensed, but did not know perfectly, is the true God of the universe. They could know Him, by knowing Jesus Christ. We can tell others who worship these "unkown gods" the same thing. That what they have sensed about God and incorrectly comprehended, can be "cleared up" by getting to know Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rooted in the God of Abraham as much as the Jehovah's Wintesses and Mormon's are rooted in the God of Abraham-no roots whatsoever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draws from and rooted in are two completely different things. If anything, Islam draws from Judeo-Christian beliefs, but instead is rooted in cultural beliefs of the day.

Islam is NOT rooted in the God of Abraham. If Islam believes in the same God as the Jews and the Christians, why are Jews and Christians persecuted in Arab/Muslim countries as unbelievers? If Muslims argue that they are worshipping the true God of the universe, then why don't they believe what He says about Jesus as being His Son? Why would they call Him by another Name that what He has proclaimed for Himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why have Christians persecuted other Christians so many times throughout history when we believe in the same God as our fellow Christians believe in? Islam certainly has no monopoly on violence and persecution in the name of God. Allah simply means the one God. Islam regards Jesus as one of the most revered prophets second only to their prophet and founder Mohamed. They also believe that Jesus was born of a virgin birth. They believe that Jesus was crucified on the cross, but ascended to heaven alive. They also believe that he will come again. They believe like the Jews that you live under the law. That you equal capacity to do good or evil and that you will be judge according to whether you submitted to God Edited December 22, 2005 by forrestkc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
