There is only one God, and everyone who worships is worshiping Him. The difference is humanity's opinion of His Nature.
You said — “There is only one God, and everyone who worships is worshiping Him. The difference is humanity’s opinion of His Nature.”
Well, that’s obviously what Bush is thinking — but — that’s a big fallacy, unfortunately.
You see..., we can identify who we worship by His characteristics. Now, I would not say that God is schizophrenic. Obviously, God says he’s not — so we can examine “God’s characteristics” (of what He says about Himself and what He thinks and what He does) to see if we’re talking about the *same being*...
Of course, Bush is talking in terms of his Christianity and I’m talking in terms of Christianity, too. So, we’re taking this in comparison to Islam (because that’s what Bush was discussing). Mind you, also, Jesus is part of the Triune Godhead in Christianity (an *absolutely fundamental* and necessary doctrine, without which one is *not* considered to be Christian).
Christianity — The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has a Son (i.e., the Son of God) who was sent to earth in human form to be the salvation of the world.
Islam — The God of the Koran has no Son — at all. Anyone who says that God has a Son, is teaching a lie and is an infidel.
—
Christianity — Jesus is God (see John 1, for the “Word”)
Islam — Jesus is not God, only a prophet
—
Christianity — Jesus is the author of salvation, the *only* way to God
Islam — Jesus is a prophet, but Mohammed is the greatest prophet, dying in Jihad is the only *assured* way to Heaven
—
Christianity — Jesus died on the cross for payment of sins for the world
Islam — Jesus did not die on the cross and he cannot pay for the sins of the world
—
Christianity — When Jesus returns he rescues Israel and saves them from destruction.
Islam — When Jesus returns, he helps destroy the infidels and kills all the Jews and Christians.
—
Christianity — When Jesus returns, He does battle with the surrounding nations, around Israel (the Islamic nations) and destroys all those nations, who have acted wickedly against Israel.
Islam — When Jesus returns, he helps destroy the nation of Israel
—
Christianity — God accepted the offered sacrifice from Abraham of — Isaac
Islam — God of the Koran accepted the offered sacrifice from Abraham of — Ishmael
—
Christianity — God’s most holy place in the world is the Temple in Jerusalem
Islam — the God of the Koran’s most holy place is the Kabba in Mecca
—
Christianity — God’s presence was seen and observed in His Holy Temple in Jerusalem
Islam — There never was a temple in Jerusalem and it’s a myth.
—
Christianity — God’s Son, Jesus will rule over the nations of the world from the Throne of David in Jerusalem
Islam — Koran’s god says Jesus will not rule and there was never a “Throne of David”, it was a myth.
By the “characteristics” of the God of the Bible, of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob — in comparison to — the false god of the Koran — we see that the characteristics, statements, attitudes and purposes — *do not* match up. This is *very clear proof* that we are talking about *two different entities*.
In fact, we have *identified* the entity of the god of Islam — because he matches the characteristics of Satan.
So, it appears that Islam worships the “god of this world” — Satan, while Christians worship the Creator God of the Universe, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
