Like CCC 841 that teaches Catholics believe in the same "god" as Muslims.

It never uses the term "the same god," sorry. That's you're interpretation.

CCC 841: The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."

Huh?

Like we said in the eighth grade, Hoss: You didn't hold your mouth right when you posted that.

841 The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."

Ignoring that Muslims don't worship the same God when they deny Christ.

[HossB86]

Let's try this on for size:

"841 The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."330"

Explain, please, how this does not mean Catholics and Muslims worship the same "God"?

"together with us (us meaning Catholics) they (meaning Muslims) adore the one merciful God."

Please. Explain that away.

"together with us" -- Muslims and Catholics together.

Go ahead. Try.

Sorry. That's you're interpretation It never makes the distinction btwn the God of the Bible and that of the Qur'an, but after the "profess" part it goes on to affirm they are the same God:

“The Moslems together with us adore the one merciful God.” (http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_const_19641121_lumen-gentium_en.html)

"Together" means together, and their is no pleading that this was akin to the unknown god of Acts 17, as it has a distinct theology.

Instead it is the result of doctrine by a committee of competing schools, both of which subject Scripture to being their servant.

Time for sleep now.
