ROME — Pope Francis asserted this week Christians, Jews and Muslims, all worship the one God and are “brothers and sisters.”
“Jesus taught us to welcome one another as brothers and sisters,” the pontiff told a delegation from the Bologna Mosque in northern Italy. “And this is true first of all for us, Christians, Jews, and Muslims, who worship the One God.”
Members of all three faiths refer to Abraham as “our father in faith,” he said, “albeit in different ways.”
“In today’s world, our witness of fraternity is indispensable and very precious,” he added.
Sincere and respectful dialogue between Christians and Muslims “is a duty for us who want to obey God’s will,” he contended.
Every believer “must feel free to propose – never impose! – his religion to other people, believers or not,” he said. “This excludes any form of proselytism, understood as exerting pressure or threats.”
In addition, “marriages between people of different religions should not be an opportunity to convert the spouse to his or her religion,” he declared.
The question of whether Muslims and Christians worship the same God has been hotly debated and is one of the “vexed” issues of interreligious dialogue.
Whereas Pope Francis has voiced his belief that the Christian God and Allah are the same God, other Christian leaders disagree.
Celebrated evangelical pastor Franklin Graham, for example, the son of evangelist Billy Graham, has insisted that Muslims and Christians “clearly” do not worship the same God.
“Islam denies that God has a Son,” Graham wrote. “They deny that Jesus is God. They do not believe in a Triune God – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I can tell you – Islam and Christianity clearly do not worship the same God.”
Similarly, in 2007, Cardinal Gerhard Müller, the former...

Well, Pope Heretic I shows his true colors today. Ask a Muslim if Christians, Jewish and Muslim people worship the same God…
Prophetic.
Yes, this clown needs to do do much. But, expecting that is unreasonable. He is firmly on the “other” side just like everyone in DC and Hollywood and in the WEF are on Epstein’s list. They will never back down.
I think the Pope has been hitting the wine a little heavy lately.
Indeed.
Christians and Jews, yes; but Muslims??? Does the Pope know what the God of Muslims calls for??? The God of the Muslims does not allow coexistence with Christians and Jews.
I AM MORE CONVINCED THAN EVER BEFORE THAT THIS GUY IS THE ANTI-CHRIST
What an evil man.
Which god? Pachamama?
>>>>What an evil man.<<<<
Just think of all the people his comments will lead astray.
I wouldn’t want to be in his red shoes.
It’s heresy to Christians, Jews, and Muslims.
Understood
While miracles may still happen, it would indeed be a miracle if the likes of Francis or Biden or Pelousy were to suddenly discover even basic morality
That is a Muslim religious doctrine, but the Muslim "God" has no son.
This is explicitly in the Koran.
It's not ecumenical when Muslims say it. You must die for doing it wrong.
This is explicitly in the Koran.
‘When you’ve worshiped one omnipotent god you’ve worshiped them all’ ~ (I think it was) Ashleigh Brilliant
God has revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the three persons of the Godhead, whom Christians worship. Because followers of Islam and Judaism don’t recognize the latter two as God, then we are worshipping different Gods.
He just acknowledged that he and islam are kindred spirits, what more do you want???
