Questions about Jewish belief and the Bible

[nili]

... Do you speak for all Jews when you say that you believe that we worship a different God, or are you speaking for yourself?

Can I assume that you're not referring to me? I would maintain that Christians have every intention to refer to the same God as that worshipped by Judaism and Islam.

No, sorry, I should have included the person to whom I was referring, my apologies.

And as to your comment . . . I mean, I guess I just took it for granted that we both believed int he same God regardless of the differences of opinion that existed among the way we attempt to approach Him in our thoughts. Maybe it's just the Jewish people whom I've met in person have just been . . . attempting to be polite to me when I've gotten into a theological discussion about God, but this is the first time I've ever encountered this idea that we Christians worship a different God. ...

Not to belabor the point but please note that

• having every intention to refer to the same God

is not the same as

• worshipping the same God.

In my opinion much Christianity distorts Jewish scripture to justify deifying a man about whom exceedingly little is known for certain, and does so in the name of replacement theology and with the aid of centuries of antisemitism and pogroms.
