There can only be one god. If one goes by the assumtion that God exists, why would He allow the majority of the world to worship a false god? The only logical assumption is that all the Gods are the same God. He sends down different messengers at different times, thus creating differences in religions, but the message is all the same. All religions come down to the same core beliefs (love, peace, and kindness).
Was the question really about whether Jesus was crucified or about whether he was resurrected? The evidence that Jesus was crucified is convincing enough, IMHO, but the evidence for resurrection is not. I can understand different opinions on the resurrection.
If there is ever going to be peace on earth then we have to recognize that not only are Jews, Christains and Muslims worshiping the same God, but that all religions worship Him.

You just described my own religious beliefs exactly. Peace, love and kindness are what God wants-all the little individual differences are the invention of human beings.
Point taken.
I apologize.
Thanks, Summertime. I appreciate it.
Tit for tat, H4E. Have you ever bothered to try reading any of the sites or books recommended to you when you display your absymal ignorance of any religion outside of Christianity?
If you won’t give us the respect of trying to understand our point of view, why should we return the favor?
No one’s trying to make you change your faith or change your views. What we are trying to do is get you to understand that there are different viewpoints and they can be just as valid as yours. Not right or wrong, simply different.
Freyr: H4E hasn’t read any of the sitses or books recommend to her about Christianity either, unless, of course, they’re along the lines of Chick’s “info.”
FYI, I do look at some of the sites other people post. I just don’t agree with them, the same as you don’t agree with mine. That’s why I don’t post here near as much as I used to.
Have a great day.
Well, you’ve posted demonstrable lies before, H4E, asserting that’s what was on those sites. So, I just went with the evidence. Try it sometime.
His4ever,
To say that a site cited has factual inaccuracies is not necessarily a judgement of the person who cited it.
Not the same at all. You don’t agree with me because of something you were told and didn’t actually check out the veracity thereof. I disagree with you because I checked the veracity of what you post & cite and found it to be lacking therein.
It’s not a question of agreement, your cites are factually erroneous and, frankly, malicious.
Hm, what cites could you show her that might help her understand?
In other words, unbiased ones?
BTW, interesting board!
I suppose it would be helpful if God Himself had a web page.
Then all disputes could be solved.
I don’t see that happening though.
Equal, you’re new here (welcome) so you don’t know that H4E has a long history of ignoring factual corrections to her assertions. The problem isn’t that she disagrees with other religious viewpoints, it’s that she constantly distorts what those viewpoints are.
For instance, it’s one thing to say that you think Islam is in error if it doesn’t accept the divinity of Christ, it’s another thing to assert that Allah is a “moon god” or that Muslims worship Mohammed.
She also has a history of misstating LDS doctrine despite repeated corrections and links to official LDS sites explaining what the proper doctrine is.
Again, no one expects her to accept other doctrines as truth, we object to her distortions of those doctrines.

The answer is found in one true statement.
The title “GOD” is just that, a title.
This title belongs to all gods and goddesess.
Including the God of the Christians, Muslims, Islamic, Jewish or all other elohim ( god).
The Creator of all things is not a God nor did His Prophets identifie
Him as a God.
It was not until the Holy Scriptures were translated into other languages that the UNDENIABLE NAME OF YAHWEH was removed from the very Scriptures He inspired to be written.
Want proof of this fact?
come on by and check it out.

Welcome Equal. Welcome Iyyob.
Btw, Iyyob, very funny site. I loved the bit about the Easter bunny being Satan.
Have you ever tried to read the books recommended to you about other religions? It’s not a matter of agreement or disagreement, but simply information. You many not agree with what Mohammed or the Buddha taught, but disagreeing with the historical facts is, to quote Matt_mcl is like disagreeing with rain.
Your perception of other faiths, like Buddhism or Islam is very skewed. It’s one thing to disagree with the tenets and dogma of a faith, it’s another to be factually mis-informed about it.
Don’t forget her lies spewed about Catholicism.
His4ever, you don’t have to agree with these other faiths-however, if you want to be taken seriously, you should stop telling lies about what they believe.
