Some Jews and Muslims accuse Christians of being idolatrous for believing in the Trinity. My response to both groups is that they fundamentally misunderstand the Christian understanding of the Trinity.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Neither Muslims nor anyone else truly worships the true God if they reject Jesus as he really is in the Gospels.
It seems to me that Islam and Christianity and Judaism all have the same god, and he's telling them all different things.
Our Christian conviction is that Christ is also the messiah of Israel. Certainly it is in the hands of God how and when the unification of Jews and Christians into the people of God will take place.
Christians must be Jews. The truth of what we believe depends on the truth of Judaism, depends on the first covenant.
A long-running argument exists over whether Christians and Muslims worship the same God. In my view, they certainly do.
I do believe that Muslims and Christians and Jews pray to the same God. And yet they understand who God is in significantly different ways.
The God of the Hebrews is a God that human language, we're not even supposed to speak the holy name. We were told in the Second Commandment we could make no images of this God, and I don't think that means just building idols, I think that means also trying to believe you've captured God in your words, in the Creeds, in the Scriptures.
I believe, literally, in the God of the Old Testament, whom I understand as the Lord of the Jews and the Protestants. I'm a Christian Zionist, as well as a Christian feminist and a Christian socialist.
For a Christian, Jesus is the unique and only way that God has fully revealed himself. For a Jew this cannot be.
The word 'Christianity' is already a misunderstanding - in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.
