The Same God?

Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


Evangelical Christians believe the Bible is God's Word and is without error in the original manuscripts. Muslims respect the word of the prophets, but claim the Bible has been corrupted (mostly by Jews) and is only correct insofar as it agrees with the Koran.

God calls himself "I Am" and says He is one, but with three personalities. Muslims believe God's name is Allah and reject the Trinity.

How can the president say that we all worship the same God when Muslims deny the divinity of Jesus, whom the president accepts as the One through whom all must pass for salvation? Do both political parties have the same beliefs? Are all baseball teams equal (clearly not, because only two will go to the World Series)?

The president can be commended for sincerely reaching out to Muslims, but he should not be commended for watering down his beliefs and the doctrines of his professed faith in order to do so. That's universalism. There are "churches" that believe in universalism, his Methodist church does not. No Christian who believes the Bible believes in universalism. And No Muslim who believes the Koran does either.

President Bush is wrong - dangerously wrong - in proclaiming that all religions worship the same God.

Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin is a member of a hate group so vicious that they preyed for the deaths of Mother Teresa and Princess Di, and so crazy that they believe that God answered their prayers. If you are a Mormon, a Catholic, a Mason, or a member of many other decent and respectable groups which they call "corrupt religious systems," you are on their hit list.

Talent Scout
Hey, it’s great to see that inconvenient things like facts and logic are devoid from your sociologic beliefs and not just your religious beliefs; or is it that to think that the constant, intimate daily contact with millions of people from a different culture could have an effect on the predominate society I “would have to know every detail of every person on the earth in every single minute of their days and nights.”
