So, by claiming that Pres. Bush is not a Christian on the basis of incorrect theology indicates the lack of understanding on the part of those who criticize him.

I agree. But his mistaken belief about the similarities of Islam and Christianity do indicate that he is an immature Christian who has not been properly taught the fundamentals of the Christian faith. I wouldn't expect any new believer who has been taught by the almost apostate present day United Methodist Church to have a correct view of Islam or biblical truth concerning false gods and false religions.

A mature Christian who has extensively studied holy scripture and has even a rudimentary knowledge of Islam knows that the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ is not the same false deity worshiped by Islam, or that His gracious and loving nature in any way resembles Islam's false god's evil, bloodthirsty, demonic nature.

I wish that Bush had been introduced to the basic tenets of the Christian faith by a fundamentalist bible teacher instead of the UMC denomination's clerics his wife introduced him to. But at least he professes to be a born again Christian, which in the spiritual realm differentiates him from most of his political adversaries.

I wish that somebody would ask Bush if he had accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior. This is what a true Christian is.

IMHO, I do not know if Bush is believer or not, but I do think his personal beliefs have been more influenced by his family and the doctrines taught in freemasonry than by faith through Christ.

Masons are emphatic to state their belief in God, but equally as dogmatic not to express that belief through faith in Christ only, a thinking which is not from God, nor the Son, nor of the Holy Spirit.

It is interesting that God reveals to us that fallen angels exist including one who seeks to be worshiped as God and who also called the Adversary, Deceiver, adversarial accuser, amongst a number of other descriptors.

There is a common denominator amongst those who equate Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, but deny the Son of God as the only person through whom we may have faith for eternal salvation. That common denominator is a worship of the Adversary, if they do indeed believe in the supernatural. Many also simply place their faith in the worldly systems, so become associated with masonry to advance themselves amongst a brotherhood of common believing people, none who are stout enough to remain in faith through Christ in all things, but will allow their associations to be more influenced by the world than by faith through Christ.

Just think of the rewards and crowns awaiting for George Bush in heaven, if he would simply remain in faith through Christ in all things and not equivocate rejection of the Son as an equal or comparable faith through Christ.

IMHO, most of America’s woes today are due to believers who turned away from God, and attempted to counterfeit their own worldly system of paradise independent of faith through Christ, by encouraging any and every form of alternative to the Plan, God has provided through the Son.

On another note, if our enemies were smart, they would turn to God, through faith in Christ, and we would become a footstool to His feet, while they would gain eternal blessings. Even so, come Lord Jesus.
