Re: Why do people assume in only one religion that a certain GOD applies? - March 22nd 2012, 08:54 PM

I don't understand your flow of logic. You also completely avoided my question.

If Christians believe in the same G-D as you do, then why don't you believe Jesus is G-D, if Christians believe Jesus is G-D, not a prophet.

Then, in another post, you say the Christian beliefs don't matter. So, then, why were we included in your post whatsoever? And if you don't believe the Christian beliefs matter (which is apparently the belief in your G-D), you are essentially saying your G-D doesn't matter.

Just because we are monotheists, doesn't mean we believe in the same G-D.

Christians also believe in the Torah, but they interpret it different. It can thereby be claimed we contain some of the same books, and believe in the same books, but not the same G-D.

In regards as to why the Bible should matter in this thread, because you are asking others to share their beliefs. If my beliefs consists of what the Bible teaches, then I ought to be able to share my beliefs through textual criticism as to why I believe the way I do. Else-wise, I could say (similarly, as you have), "The Qur'an doesn't matter, I only believe the Bible," and use that as an argument to say that not all G-D's are the same.

Ironically, that is essentially what I have said through exposition, but I have not excluded Islamic people from being saved by Christ. Revealing that my belief isn't the traditional view of a Christian, that all Islamic people are going to Hell.

Sorry for sharing my beliefs.
