Of course...I know I do...And yet the muzlims don't...
No doubt it's confusing to a Catholic...While most Catholics don't read or own a bible some at the top do...Even historically...So they know this stuff is true but they don't teach it to you guys...
Jesus offered his kingdom to those Jews back before his Crucifixion...A Jewish kingdom for the 12 tribes of Israel...They rejected and killed Jesus...Even after Jesus was Crucified, that offer was still standing...They still rejected it...
To make Israel jealous, Jesus came to the Gentiles and offered them/us eternal life...At the same time Jesus stuck a mental block into Israel so they couldn't see it all...They are blinded...Although they worship the Father of the Trinity they can't see the Trinity...
Muzlims on the other hand are not blinded...They reject the God of the Creation and the scripture because the God of Creation IS the Trinity...They willfully reject the gospel and Jesus Christ...
It's as if they don't worship anyone at all...Their god doesn't exist...They of course are no different than atheists in the eyes of God and Christians...They are NOT our brothers...

You know, I don't know why this is difficult for catholics to understand. But, I guess they are so wedded to the ccc being more authoritative than the Word.
This is one of the many reasons we reject "tradition" that is so embraced by roman catholicism.
Okay, I understand you to write that the Jews profess to worship and adore the same God of Abraham that you profess to worship and adore and that it makes no difference to this fact even though they deny Jesus is the Messiah and that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are one and the same God.
Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
