Hello, Raymond Norris! I Beg to differ: everyone does not worship the same god The definition of God is central to most serious believers. Confusion has been created by stripping God's Name from the Bible and substituting Lord or God for the one which occurs more than any other, nearly 7,000 times in the original Hebrew manuscripts. In English it is usually pronounced Jehovah. Names beginning with J in English were pronounced with a Y in Hebrew. Yeshua = Jesus. Yahweh = Jehovah. The dichotomy that sunders Jews and Moslems from christendom is the doctrine of the trinity. Jews and Moslems are monotheists, worshipping a god of single identity. In fact Moslems sometimes refer to members of christendom as "polytheists". The great Jewish prayer found in Deuteronomy 6:1 is: "Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah." [American Standard Version of 1901] Modern Jews do not enunciate the divine Name, but say: "The Lord is our God, The Lord our God is One." So what's the diff? I addressed this to Raymond Norris, a name without doubt you hold dear. The first petition in the Lord's prayer is "Hallowed be Thy Name." 63 times in Ezekiel He declares: "They shall know my name is Jehovah." And He announces: "I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images." "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." was the first commandment as found in Exodus 20. The third was: "Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain." Says the DICTIONARY OF THE BIBLE by Jesuit priest John McKenzie. "TRINITY. The trinity of God is defined by the Church as the belief that in God are three persons who subsist in one nature. The belief as so defined was reached only in the 4th and 5th centuries AD and hence is not explicitly and formally a biblical belief." McKenzie is right, the word trinity isn't in the Bible! If 3 males in a primary family were equal and the same age, wouldn't they be brothers, triplets? Fathers and sons are not the same or equal. Jesus is never called "God the Son" in scripture; he's always the son of God, or, 77 times, "the son of man". The God of the Bible is unique, alone, unequaled, just as Moses explained Him. Few really serve Him. Matthew 7:14. Raymond: May Jehovah lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. Don

Ray, Please feel free to post your beliefs. I do not wish to cast dispersions on your viewpoints and will try to let it alone about the PLO and Arafat because I do not wish to upset you or anyone for that matter. We are all human, saved only by the grace of God and faith in his holy word. I along with many Christians believe that the Lord will bless those who bless his chosen race, the Jewish people. Many are nervous about the continuing hatred between Moslems and Israel and their right to exist as a nation. Peace to you and your loved ones. Santiago
