bush is an antichrist. proof--- God and Culture-how can all believe in the same God, any better Biblical answers Reflections on culture and religion from an evangelical worldview. October 9, 2007 Bush Bait and Switch Theology: Religious Liberty and the Monotheistic Fallacy "I believe in an Almighty God," said President Bush in an interview with Al Arabiya, "and I believe that all the world, whether they be Muslim, Christian, or any other religion, prays to the same God.

P Christians believe that Jesus is the begotten son of God. (See Note 2: John 3:16) 3. Q Christians do not believe in the one true God. Note 1: Quran (Sura 112) -- "Say He is God, The One and Only God, the Eternal, Absolute He begetteth not, Nor is He begotten And there is none Like unto Him." Note 2: John 3 16 --- While I doubt the President was aware of this argument, Im sure that he would agree this is a valid argument with true premises. He should also, therefore, agree that from the Muslim perspective, we do not all pray to the same God. But the most that can be inferred by that conclusion is that Muslims do not believe Christians and Muslims worship the same God. ... ... ... ... |
