On 04/30/09, Jeff Snyder quoted Bob Ackley: (2/2) Christians And Jews.

BA> If A and if B, then C is logic.  If all men are mortal and if Jeff is a man
BA> then Jeff is mortal.  If the conclusion C is not true then at least one of
BA> the premises (A or B) must not be true.
BA>
BA> If there is one god if the three major religions all worship one god then
BA> all three major religions must worship the same god.

BA> Your thought processes cannot accept that idea.  Neither, FTM, can those of
BA> other religionists including Jews and Islamics, so you have a lot of
BA> company.  To the objective observer, however, the appellations Yahweh, God
BA> (Jesus Christ etc.) and Allah must all represent the same being.

Bob, your arguments may work in the world of mathematics, or in the world of
programming, but when it comes to matters of faith, it just doesn't work that
way. You talk about logic, but then you don't use that same logic to realize
that if the God of the Jews, the God of the Christians, and the God of the
Muslims are all saying different things about the nature of Jesus Christ, then
they can't possibly be the same God.

Your theoretical objective observer is making an assumption based on ignorance
of the teachings of each religion. If he knew more about each religion, he
would quickly realize that he is in error, and that while each religion may
worship one God, it is not necessarily the same God.

In short, the aforementioned logic is flawed, and superficial at best.
