Well, I mean, that's difficult, now, because most Christians--unless they're Mormon, would insist that God is indivisible. If you're saying that the idea that the worship of Jesus constitutes idolatry, I can understand that--however, what I would say is that we Christians believe in the same God that led you out of Egypt, that created the world, and we accept the Tanakh as authoritative and include it in our services: And it is this God, with the Unspeakable Name, that we call on.
Unless the suggestion is that we're worshipping a different god who has the same name.
But I mean, you have to understand that, to me, the words, "You're worshipping a different God" is insulting. If I said that to you, you'd probably find it equally insulting. You might as well have told me, "You're mother's a slut."
I mean, I understand you have a perspective on this, but what you've just said would be shocking to ALL Christians--and I don't think that that's too much of an exaggeration.
Do you speak for all Jews when you say that you believe that we worship a different God, or are you speaking for yourself?
