If kawaii wants to insist that Protestants worship a different being than do Catholics and Orthodoxy, instead of saying that the Protestant *concept* of God is different than the Orthodox concept of God, then so be it. I'm trying to inject some charity here. When we disagree about the *concept* of God, we don't have to jump to the conclusion that the other person is an idolator (i.e. worshipping some other being besides the one true God). We can grant that the other person is still worshippping the one true God, but with misconceptions about the nature of that one true God, or misconceptions about how the one true God should be worshipped, etc.

Nice try, but the well was already poisoned.

There is a point at which one must conclude that the other person is not worshipping the same God. As a general rule Catholics and Protestants all agree with the Nicene and Apostles' Creed, hence it can be stated with assurance that both Catholics and Protestants worship the same God, even where there are some disagreements in regard to doctrinal issues related to what God has revealed.

Islam does not subscribe to even one point of those creeds, hence they do not have a misconception about the one true God, they worship a false God. Kawaii seems to think that Protestants worship a false God, but as far as I can tell, he has yet to make the same claim about Muslims.

He can hold to that opinion all he wants. If that is what he believes, then I'm glad it's out in the open. I prefer clarity to agreement and kawaii has made his position clear.

if the ‘concept’ is different indeed protestants worship a false non existant diety.
