I provided you with examples of several denominations that call themselves Christians and don't accept your version of the deity of Christ.
As a protestant I prefer a careful examination of scripture. Sola scriptura.
The Jehovah's Witnesses claim that their doctrines are based on Sola scriptura , and they disagree with your version of Christ's deity. So do the Unitarians, the Christadelphians, the Dawn Bible Students who produced the radio show "Frank and Ernest."
Apparently, your "insurmountable obstacle" has been conquered many times.
One more time, I'm not going to defend other religions; I'm just posting the official position of the Roman Catholic Church.
I agree with the Catholic Church Catechism when it states that both Christians and Muslims worship the same God.
I'm not here to convince Protestants. We have to agree to disagree on religious issues. This section of Free Republic is mainly devoted to discuss politics, but Jim Robinson has provided a whole forum for Religion.
The Never Ending Story threads have dealt with all your arguments already thousand of times . Please go there to argue religion.
It's not my version. It's the Bible's version: John 1:1ff "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being which has come into being." It's pretty hard to deny the deity of Christ from this beginning of the Gospel of John. John is saying that He is the Creator.
Apparently, your "insurmountable obstacle" has been conquered many times.
Not conquered. Darkness simply does not comprehend it. John 8:52 "Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.'" The Jews understood the significance of this claim--they picked up stones to kill Him for his blasphemy.
I'm not asking you to defend other religions, just your defense of the quirky statement that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the Muslim Allah. Jesus said "If you had known Me, you would have known my Father also." One could create a bumper sticker: "No Jesus, No Father; Know Jesus, Know Father." The inescapable conclusion is that the Muslims "do not know God." Again, Jesus says "God must be worshipped in spirit and in truth." Cleary one must know the object of worship, or what's the worth of it?
