The Pope and the Vatican openly worships Lucifer. If you don't understand Latin, then type the words in google for a translation.
So....... this Pope is cool, huh? I don't think so.
Actually I did know all this, but thanks for pointing that out. It proves my point even better. Their ideology isn't even an OLD ideology, but they pretend like their beliefs have always been the case. Denying that Christianity, Islam, and Judaism all came from the same source, is denying reality. They all worship the same god with the same(ish) religious texts. And even before that, the Abrahamic religions all stole from older, pagan religions to complete their beliefs. Only the oldest religions in the world are the purest ones.

Your saying some thing does make it true. Judaism, Christianity and Islam are not the same by any stretch of the imagination. That shows me exactly what you do not know. It is true that some of their core claims are somewhat the same is not to say that their gods are the same. You need a good teacher to show you the differences. Re read the five Fundamentals of Christianity and then try to apply them to Islam and Judaic thought. You will then see it is impossible. All three are three separate ideologies with all three having their own disagreements among themselves.
Prior to the early 1900's the age of the world was determined by Torah. Did you know that? That is not very far from where you stand today is it? It was about 1907 that radiometric dating became published and accepted. But radiometric dating is not confirmed as true but only manipulated and accepted in selected cases. The reason I say this is that almost all of theoretical science is imagined from radiometric dating and is only accepted by the club mentality as being absolute. That is not true and never has been true. You nor any other member of your science club can prove 65 million years ago ever existed 65 million years ago. Your science is no better than theology in that respect and requires no more critical thinking than does theology. You have been brain washed into believing that your science (whatever that means) is absolute and only consists of critical thinkers. This is one reason that America has dropped to 21st or 22nd second place in the math and sciences. Face fact and get off the science word. Both have their place and both entail critical thinkers.
There is only one God, and Christians, Muslims and Jews all worship this God. How we worship and how we discern our various scripture obviously differs. Allah is my God too, imagine that.

Yes I agree that there is only one God. ...
I wonder what is peoples definition of the divine? And don't say God Also what is the meaning of the one God concept Is it literal or does it have to do with unity?
Did you review this? If not I suggest you take the five minutes to do so.
A spiritual journey travels in one direction.
If you are of Christian faith you know this is false worship.
How do you know there's only one? I can name many. How do you know there are any?

How do you know that I do not know? I know what I know because I know what I know. Can you say the same? If you can then I can not prove what you know anymore than you can disprove what I know.
All knowledge is not provable knowledge. Some knowledge is hidden from the prudent and those who think they are wise.
Your knowledge is from other people's thoughts such as books and films of all sorts but my knowledge is also from God as well as books and films of all sorts. To prove God to you is not mine to give. You must prove God to yourself by God and not any other way. You can start your journey by understanding the doctrine of Christ Jesus. That is what I know.

I know there is a God from personal experience. To think there is no God, is unreasonable. To think there is more than one is illogical.

In other words, it's your belief. Thought so. This may come as a shock to you, but beliefs are not facts and there is absolutely no reason why we should take your beliefs as facts. No, I don't need to prove God to myself. That's another of your beliefs. The doctrine of men written by men who didn't even live when Jesus allegedly lived and never heard him say anything isn't very convincing. Essentially, you want us to worship you. No thanks.
