There are many religions that believe in one God, or as some say it: "God is one". But there are different revelations. You can see God as the Creator, as a law giver, as a judge, as King and Ruler, Guide, as the Almighty, and so on. But in order to see God as a Father you have to come to The Son! I believe that this is the revelation that Christ brought: " God as a Heavenly Father"
That does not take away, or contrast, with Jewish beliefs at that time, but it adds to it. Other monotheistic faiths also have certain revelations. Moslem believers for instance do have things we can agree with, but they do not have the revelation of Jesus: "no one comes to see God as Father but by me"( my translation!). Of course! Jesus is the son! He makes this possible through His Life , death, and resurrection. But His main mission is to reveal God as Father. and along with this comes the Fatherly Love.

Riht, good translation too, for me not easy to read. (english slang?) Difference of religion and way of thinking is allright with me too. As long as it's in love. I know you believe in love.
