Saintstephen,
Debate is good.
I disagree with you.
Muslims, Christians (Catholics, Protestant and Orthodox) worship the same God. There is no God, but God.
Protestants, Catholics and Orthodox believe in the same Christ, the Son of God, the Redeemer of the world.
In Catholicism there is the fullness of truth, but other also have truth.

Saintstephen, Debate is good. I disagree with you. Muslims, Christians (Catholics, Protestant and Orthodox) worship the same God. There is no God, but God. Protestants, Catholics and Orthodox believe in the same Christ, the Son of God, the Redeemer of the world. In Catholicism there is the fullness of truth, but other also have truth. Dear Noel, To say that all worship the same God or all believe in the same Christ is like saying that you and I have the same biological father. It is the perception of God or Christ that is only known to Catholics. Of course the true God and the true Christ are the only God and Christ that exist although the perception of god and christ in all other religions are false, they perceive a false image of both. If they believed in the same image of God, Christ and Holy Spirit as Catholic, then they all would believe also in the fullness of the Catholic faith which they do not. The protestant communities only mimic Scripture, they do not believe the absolute destination of Scripture which is the Catholic Church, they oppose Catholic truth of God, Christ and Holy Spirit and will not come to the Catholic Body and Blood of Christ in the Eucharist, they deny it and deny it's authenticity. SaintStephen, I don't think you and Noel have any disagreement. What he says in the last line of his post is that "In Catholicism there is the fullness of truth, but other also have truth." In other words non-Catholic Christians, and non-Christians like Jews and Muslims who believe in the God of the Old Testament, know part of the truth but to varying degrees their faiths or sects are deficient.
