the Jews don't worship the same God we do, simply because they don't accept Christ as the Son that of God.
If I may butt in here, let me say that Christianity says that Jesus, of Nazareth, is the SON of God, AND IS god!

There is the rub. Christ, the man, in the flesh, is God Almighty.


As prophecied so long ago..........

Isaiah 9:6-7
6. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this.

And on the testimony of others.........

John 20:24-29
 24.  Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.
 25.  So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!"   But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it."
 26.  A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!"
 27.  Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe."
 28.  Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!"
 29.  Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

 John 10:30-33
 30.  I and the Father are one."
 31.  Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him,
 32.  but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?"
 33.  "We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God."

Elsie, you're probably a nice lady. But you are missing the point.

If you believe in God the Father of Christ, you believe in the same God as Yahweh and Allah. Its the same Person.

Sometimes I think Christian fundamentalists are as obtuse as their fundementalist Muslim brethren.
