题目: Re: The point I am trying to make is that Moslems do worship the same God
(V): I wasn't planning to enter into this "debate" because I am not a scholar on the Bible or the Qu'ran. In fact, I don't believe they are the final canons. I agree with most of what V has to say here. My views are Unitarian-Universalist who do not follow the traditional or Orthodox views about the Triune God. People with my views were general cut off from the Christian debate in the 3rd Century when Constantine convened the Council of Nicea designed to form a singular religion of his state. They declared the Triune viiew as the only legitamate view of God and branded anyone else as a heretic. They also tossed any books in the Bible that contridicted what they called "prophesies". People were also branded as heretics from that time on who did not believe that everyone who did not agree with their views were sent to eternal damnation. Some of us survived, however. Both Muslims and Christians take the latter view about their religion being the only true one, and that their Holy books are the final word make their world ripe for war over religion. Both of their Gods descend from the birthline of Abraham, a fact which the extremist on both sides wish to delete from their history.
