... they do not worship the same God ...

Oooh. Nice editing. Let's have that again, but IN CONTEXT (seemingly a problem in Roman Catholicism)....

"They do not worship God in his totality; they do not believe in God the Son. So, in that case, they do not worship the same God in that they do not believe in the Trinity. But they worship the one true living God, be it imperfectly."

Now... do Roman Catholics worship the same "God" as Muslims, as is stated in CCC 841, knowing that Muslims do not worship the God of Judeo-Christianity?

Can you answer that?

You are of a Protestant tradition that rejects the Jews. Catholics accept the Jews as elder brethren.

Now... do Roman Catholics worship the same "God" as Muslims, as is stated in CCC 841, knowing that Muslims do not worship the God of Judeo-Christianity?

Can you answer that?

Catholics worship and adore the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who is "The God" that both the Jews and Moslems (as well as others like the Samaritans) also profess to worship and adore. There is only One God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. There is only one begotten Son of God. There is only one Messiah. His name in English is Jesus and He is coming to judge the living and the dead. Of his kingdom there will be no end. There is only one holy catholic apostolic church. If you imagine otherwise you are mistaken.

Hoss, he’s stuck. If he says “yes” (and conforms to the teaching of the Holy Roman Catholic Church), then he’ll have to admit that he has no problem with the 5 pillars:

1. A Muslim must recite the basic creed, “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His prophet.”
2. He must recite prayers praising Allah five times a day while facing Mecca where, it is believed, Allah revealed the Koran to Muhammad.
3. He must give money to the poor.
4. He must fast for one month every year.
5. He must make a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in his lifetime.

IF he has no problem agreeing to these things - and doing them himself, THEN he is following the teaching of the Holy Roman Catholic Church.

If he has a problem with the 5 pillars, then he is worshipping a god that is different from the Muslim god.

He keeps asking US about the God of the Jews. He keeps avoiding the basic question.

I entertained his charade, but his cooperation was feigned.
