Watcher! Again, you have taken everything out of context in order to suit your argument. You COMPLETELY ignored what I explained to you that the pope meant when he stated that Muslims worship the same God and how I said that they understand him differently to us. We know this because they too worship the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. They differ to us because they don't believe that Christ was the Messiah or God made flesh.
If you are going to based your argument in the catechism mentioned above, The Catholics and Muslims worship the same God your statement fits the catechism.
They differ to us because they don't believe that Christ was the Messiah or God made flesh
Catholic catechism say "together with us, they adore"...who the god who will judge mankind at the last day.
THIS IS WHAT THE CATECHISM MEANS WHEN WHEN IT STATES THAT THEY HAVE A HEAD START AHEAD OF OTHERS WHEN IT COMES TO LEADING THEM TO THE TRUTH! They believe in God! The same God. They just don't understand Him completely when it comes to Trinity!
You cannot equate the True God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to those god without Christ.
example:
Joh 8:39 Theyanswered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If yewere Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. Joh 8:40 But now yeseek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God:this did not Abraham.
Joh 8:41 Ye do thedeeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; wehave one Father, even God.
(Who they say their father was vs 39... they are the children of Abraham. then in vs. 41, They have ONE FATHER, even GOD)
Have you notice???? your argument is not far away from theirs.
And This is what Jesus said to them
Joh 8:42 Jesus saidunto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth andcame from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
You cannot separate Christ from Godhead... For God sent his Son...
And Jesus further said...
Joh 8:43 Why do yenot understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
Joh 8:44 Ye are ofyour father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was amurderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is notruth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar,and the father of it.
Joh 8:45 And becauseI tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Your last statement about praying to Mary instead of God proves to me that this has become a personal attack on Catholics for you because you have COMPLETELY ignored us when we told you we do not do this.
When you have the brain capacity to open up your mind beyond your bias and to look deeper into the teachings of the Catholic Church to know them before you criticise them, then I will continue to discuss with you. Your comments are too shallow. Peace, and God bless.
I assumed your brain is not to small to list them down? Besides you are just listing down the teaching of catholic church.
