Dennis is a good Jew. His questions are valid for him....not so much for me.
He makes it too complicated. The answer to his question is simple....NO!!!!!
The God of Jews and Christians commands us all to “Love your enemies”.
Allah commands his followers to “Kill your enemies”.
Clearly not the same being.
RE: He makes it too complicated. The answer to his question is simple....NO!!!!!
His answer is the same as yours, I think the article analyzes why the answer is so.
God is Trinitarian. Islam denies the Son, and the Holy Spirit, continually.
Paul explains perfectly the relationship between Christian, fully true, and the God of the Old Testament, also true, but not fully disclosed.
So the answer with respect to Islam is, absolutely not.
The answer with respect to Judaism, is...read Paul (well, and Hebrews...well, and the Gospels...).
No. Jesus says, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father but through Me.” (John 14:6).
We do not worship the same god, and not everyone will go to heaven. Don’t blame God for this. He has given us Jesus out of the goodness of His heart.Those who refuse to believe have only themselves to blame.
Jews and Christians worship the God of love, mercy and forgiveness. Islam? Not so much.
Did you know that Mohammad, when first encountering the angel Gabriel, thought he was the devil? Funny thing about that, Mary didn’t have that reaction. I wonder why Mohammad thought he was seeing a devil?
There’s room for only one God of Creation in the entire universe.
That means that all other manifestations claiming to be gods are actually devils.
The logic is undeniable: the God of Creation commands us to love while the Allah of Islam commands its followers to kill.
Simple. Occam’s Razor stuff.
If you can say that muslims and Jews do not worship the same God, then you are saying that there are two distinct Gods, which is impossible.
If you want to say that muslims worship an imaginary God, which doesn’t exist, OK, you are right there.
No. Next question.
However, “Love your enemies” is not a suicide PACK.
God did not mean for us to be stupid and uninformed. When another sect beheads people, hangs people, sets people on fire .. I’m confident whoever or whatever they worship IS NOT RELATED TO THE GOD I WORSHIP as a Christian.
If people cannot make that distinction, they will DIE.
Jews and Christians yes. Muslims no. Next question.
Islam’s “god” is literally the criminally insane parts of mohammad’s brain.
You could go even further than that and ask “Do any two people believe in the same God?”
Well said!
Dennis views this from a Jewish perspective, and waiting for the Messiah. Christianity is the proclamation that Christ is the Messiah, the Savior, the Truth, 100% Man 100% God, etc... You can't ignore that and go back to just God and his prophets like Muslims and Mormons believe.
Christians and Jews, yes, but Muslims worship some other, not benevolent, entity.
no, Allah/Muhammad did not have a son named Jesus
Simply believing that God exists is in itself insufficient; even the devil knows God exists.
The real question is who can be saved from the wrath of God when the appointed time comes (and it will come)?
Romans 10:9 is quite clear:
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
The late, great Lawrence Auster used to call Dennis a confused liberal. And in fact Dennis used to correct callers who referred to him as a conservative- he is and was a ‘60s RFK liberal. People seem to conflate religious observance with conservatism more than is warranted.
