Not a flame...maybe a slow roast, like coffee... :)
You've got a burden of proof here that you haven't met.
I can go to a Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, Roman Catholic, et. al., and pick up roughly the same Bible and read about the same triune God. The translations vary, but that's because we aren't fluent in Hebrew and Greek. :) Granted, there are indeed procedural differences, i.e. where in the church women can serve, what constitutes Holy Communion, etc, but that doesn't change that all Christians believe that, having seen the divine law that we are supposed to live by, have fallen short, and need to ask God through his Son, Jesus Christ, for forgiveness of our sins, so that we may enter Heaven.
Among said denominations are also common creeds that point out significant, undisputed events that Christians believe. Such an example is the Apostle's Creed, which I've personally recited in Lutheran and Catholic churches.
Given these commonalities it would to seem to me quite difficult to argue that Christian denominations worship different Gods.
My thoughts exactly.
It is PC on the Left to say that all three share the same God. But it is just as PC among necons to say that Jews and Christians share the same God -- as opposed to Muslims.
Really, everyone's spinning, jockeying for alliances.
In truth, and at the risk of sounding Clintonesque, it all depends on how you define "same God." If you mean the same concept of God, all three religions -- and indeed, different sects within those religions -- have a different concept of God.
One may even push the issue to existential extremes, and with some accuracy, state that every individual has a somewhat different concept of God, and thus every individual believes in a different God.
But you can also jigger definitions to state that all people, everywhere, believe in the same God. I know a Hindu who says that Hinduism is really a monotheistic religion, the various deities reflecting different aspects of the same God -- and that we all, Hindus, Jews, Christians, Muslims -- believe in the same God.
But this article is not about a search for theological truth. It's political spin, trying to firm up a Jewish-Christian allianace for a war against Islam. Spin, spin, spin.
Good point! But then I'd put 'Christian' in quotes.
