This is so STOOOOOPID, the Wheaton and “Some Evangelical Christians” response :

“I stand in religious solidarity with Muslims because they, like me, a Christian, are people of the book,” she posted on Facebook. “And as Pope Francis stated last week, we worship the same God.”

Though the college did not take a position on her wearing the headscarf, some evangelical Christians said her statement should have spelled out what makes Christianity distinct from Islam. Not doing so put her in conflict with the statement of faith that all Wheaton faculty members must sign and live out, they said.

BUT, folks,  the point here is to identify what they have in common.  The insistence on a distinction is an ENTIRELY different question here.  GET IT?   And yes, people,  Muslims and Christians DO INDEED worship the same God.  Realize that we are talking about identification here.  The God of Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, and Moses.  Islam DOES indeed affirm this.  The question of the character of that God and the particulars of theologies around that are, WELL, constructs of theology, built by humans.  And frankly,  I find much more in common with a lot of her ideas about the character of that God than I do with those who are screaming about her saying it.

If you ask me,  I find much MORE of a problem knowing whether some of these Chrsitians worship the same God I do.  That’s where “the same God” becomes even more meaningful in terms of theology;  where it speaks to the particulars of character of that God.  And the particulars of what some Christians identify with the character of “whatever it is they are talking about” (I hesistate to call it ‘God’) is NOT at all the same as the God I worship.  Nowhere close.  VERY LITTLE in common , in fact.

If we keep talking about this difference between identifying “which God” (as in “the God if Abraham, Isaac, and Joseph”) and “the God who is …….and talk about WHO God is and WHAT God is……we also get the ecological implications,  or the EcoTheology of a particular notion of God.  The differences we find there among Christians, especially in Industrialized nations,  is immense sometimes.  I see Christians who seem more interested in arguing FOR and advocating FOR and PRAISING Fossil Fuel “miracles”  (and the economic “benefits”)  ,  I wonder who that “God” is.
