President George Bush has repeated his belief all religions, "whether they be Muslim, Christian, or any other religion, prays to the same God" – an assertion that caused outrage among evangelical leaders when he said it in November 2003.

Like father like son.
When they meet him, people who know me are astonished at how much my son is like me.
Likewise when I meet people who only know my son, they invariably say something like: “Now I see where he gets it!”
Does that mean he and I are one person?
The Lamb was slain before the foundations of the Earth. Man didn’t HAVE TO fall into sin, but God knew that it would happen, and he determined before the creation that he would send his son to provide a means of escape from the punishment for sin.
It’s all about God’s glory - the creator of all who would be perfectly justified if he never offered a way out of the condition that man finds himself in, but who magnifies himself in the grace and mercy offered through Christ.
After letting all the generations of 4000 years or more go to Hell, first, of course...
Always been a Christian. Perhaps you should read further in the thread.
Jesus is the son of God and will be at His Father’s right hand in Heaven.
I’m good with the checking. Thank you for the suggestion.
Not true at all (the part about him loving all of us). Check out these verses:
Romans 9:10-13 And not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man, even by our father Isaac (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls), it was said to her, “The older shall serve the younger.” As it is written, “Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.”
Malachi 1:3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
He certainly didn't love Esau. Also see these:
Psalm 5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
Hosea 9:15 I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings.
God has a general love for his creation, but for those who reject him (and he knows who they are before they are even born), they will suffer an eternity in hell as enemies of God.
Jesus was Jewish and I never said he wasn't. That doesn't make him what you say he was.
I find nothing in His testimony to suggest He is not God the Son, before Abraham, the ‘I AM’
I find nothing in your testimony to suggest that you are not the Easter Bunny, but I am not going to go out on a limb and proclaim that you are the Easter Bunny, just because you haven't said that you're not. About Abraham, the I AM and all that is that like Sam I am and green eggs and ham? I don't do the trinity and I don't do the ham thing either. Why does my respect of Him and affording that same shared faith with yourself disgust you?"
Here we have proof that you are either devilishly devious or stupendously stupid. I am not disgusted with your respect for Jesus, the trinity or any other Christian doctrine and have never given so much as a nano-hint to that effect. I don't even mind that you would like to share your respect for these ideas with me. What disgusts me is your sanctimonious and profoundly insolent way of telling me what Judaism is and what are Jewish beliefs, like the preposterous notion that Judaism accepts the trinity. What further disgusts me is your obnoxious and completely unapologetic denunciation of and contempt for my beliefs and the beliefs of many other people on this site who do not share your views. Finally, what brings my disgust to projectile vomiting pitch, is your insistence on continuing to hurl these insults and stupidities in the face of every proof that you are wrong, illogical, offensive and, worst of all, untruthful.
[Aside to the audience: I know, I know, you're wondering why I keep replying when I said I was done with this intellectual chihuahua. It's just too much fun to be left alone. (With my apologies to chihuahuas)]
Well, Jesus Christ is Jewish. Where’s the problem with that?
The point is not to make sure that your beliefs are right for YOU, but to make sure that you believe the truth about God and what he demands from you. God will not fail to send an unsaved person to hell even if they were well intentioned. That’s something that you, even as a flawed sinner (like the rest of us), should be very concerned about (as we all should).
Then keep checking ...you got a long way to go.
I simply am typing my thoughts and recognize Jesus Christ is Jewish. I am not telling anybody anything. Other people might be reading what I type and perhaps they are reading far more into what I type than they like to admit. BTW, most misery is self-induced.
I'm so glad you brought that out. That happens to be from this past week's Torah portion. The famous commentator Rashi (d. 1105) says this refers to the spirit which G-d wished to bestow upon man, which happens a few passages later when it says that he blew into his nostrils a living soul. In 1:2, G-d is holding that spirit in waiting to form the corporeal being into which it will be infused. In Hebrew, there are several different expressions to describe the spirituality which is imparted to all living things. The word from Gen. 1:2 is "Ruach" (phonetic) and is one of those soul categories.
What fascinates me more is that so many here are so quick to condemn and judge because someone simply believes something different. In a way, I am surprised. But then again, I'm not. This is FreeRepubic after all.
Thank you for your reply.
You are welcome.
God bless you.
He’s not.
