I think a better way of saying this would be to say that Judaism and Islam don’t have the complete picture of God rather than saying their view is wrong. It’s not as confrontational that way and shows more charity. No one likes to hear their God is wrong! Especially in Judaism as the Jewish God is exactly who Jesus was referring to as His Father. Just my opinion. Privately, you can think however you wish.however in a Christian sense their view of God is wrong as they deny the trinity or basic necessities that Christian belief holds onto the nature of God. In that sense it is not the same God.
You know Jesus is considered an exceptionally important Prophet in Islam right? They believe in his virgin birth. They believe he will come again on the day of judgement to vanquish anti-Christs. They believe themselves to be an Abrahamhemic religion. If anything they are closer to Christian belief than Jewish belief, especially since they do not reject Christ having any religious importance.No they don’t
Islam is a completely different religion
You say that No they don’t IOW, they do not worship the same God?No they don’t
Islam is a completely different religion
Jehovah witness believe that Christ, God the Father and the Holy Spirit are not one but completely separate
Judaism there is no trinity so yes and no
As for the Baptist yes Baptist and Catholics believe in the same God. (But Baptist believe in grace through faith for salvation while Catholics believe in works)
Consider this, between at least nominal Christians, Muslims, and Jews, 55% of the world holds the belief that they worship the God of Abraham. Some of course take issue with that statement, but what’s indisputable is that they believe the revelations of their religion does. Some of the best ecumenical discussions I’ve had have been with Muslims, it can be interesting to hear a different take on shared religious events.However, some Catholics still continue to insist that because these groups don’t accept Christ as God and aren’t Trinitarian, they don’t worship “the same God” as us.
A monotheistic religion which holds Abraham, Moses, Mary, Jesus, etc. in high regard is a “completely different religion”? If you say so…Islam is a completely different religion
As usual you have given an oversimplified and wrong answer from your non-Catholic perspective, but discussion of it here is off topic and also there are about 100 other threads already dealing with this topic.As for the Baptist yes Baptist and Catholics believe in the same God. (But Baptist believe in grace through faith for salvation while Catholics believe in works)
Nope. But as Tis_Bearself said discussing this is off topic here and I sincerely doubt it would change anything anyways. Protestantism does seem to be built and fueled by purposeful ignorance of Catholicism.while Catholics believe in works)
