I'm not sure that's a worthwhile distinction. Since there is only one God then by definition there is only one God to worship. Different faiths have different concepts of God, however (that's why different faiths exist) and clearly have different expressions of faith. Christians worship Jesus Christ as God. Jews do not. Does this mean that Jews and Christians do not have the same God? Does the fact that neither Jews nor Muslims accept Jesus as God but both revere Abraham mean that they worship the same God?

I see... if the two Gods are different, then why are there references to similar characters such as Jesus or Moses (?) in both Judaism and Islam? Also, the Mid East crisis. Is there a site or reference that reflects the Palestinians side of the story? Just curious to hear both sides. Thanks, hkl
