No, they don’t worship the same God. Our One God is a Trinitarian God. What all this shows is the utter bankruptcy of what Luther began and the spawn that has been begotten from his breakaway from the Catholic Church.
Chesterton put it best: “Those who believe in everything believe in nothing.”
You do know that Luther believed in one God, don’t you?
You do know that the Catholics were NOT the only Christian Church around, right?
(Feb 6, 2009) Pope Benedict XVI’s recent weekly public addresses in St. Peter’s Square, he quoted Martin Luther in declaring “Sola fide,” that salvation is by faith alone.
And exactly WHY did Pope John Paul kissed the Koran again????
But wrong.
This has NOTHING to do with the almighty Catholic church.
This has everything to do with MEN doing what they feel right in their own eyes.
Biblically based churches, that are non-Catholic, teach that their is only ONE true God. All others are just different names of the same source, Satan.
Acts 4: 10let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by this name this man stands here before you in good health. 11 He is the stone which was rejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief corner stone. 12 And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”
Just as there are Protestant churches and pastors that preach something other than Christ alone, there are also Catholics that teach that Christ ISN'T the only way. They might not be supported or endorsed by the Catholic church, none the less they still preach another gospel. Same as Protestants who preach another gospel.
I, as an Evangelical and Protestant, reject their message of ecumenicalism. There is only ONE true God and only one way to access him.
I also reject your assumption that somehow its a Protestant thing or a non Catholic thing, that the Catholic church holds the corner on the belief of the ONE true God.
Father Martin Luther suffered from the oldest sin of all: arrogance/pride. He knew better than everyone else.
There are some 30,000+ Protestant denominations in this world. That is ABSURD. Jesus wanted us united as His followers in ONE Church, not 30,000. Just think of all the Protestant denominations that have come and gone since 1540 (or so)...and will come and go in the future. Absurd.
One needs only to "google" Protestant denominations to see how HUGE the miasma of different non-Catholics groups there are.
They can't all be right. I wonder sometimes how Protestants square that outlandish number with themselves.
