Meh, you bring up scenarios of what Christians were doing a thousand years ago and I bring up a scenario of what Christians and Muslims would do today.

no i brought up what Christianity was doing when it was the same age as Islam, and what Christianity was doing was infinitely worse, if nothing else because it was official written church policy.
And how many years ago was it when Christianity was the same age as Islam?
quote:
and you didnt even stop voluntarily, only because you lost the power to keep doing it.
Why do you use the pronoun "you"?
I'm the devil's advocate not a Christian.
Besides, Don't forget, the first of the Crusades started in 1095 because Christians were being slaughtered by Muslims.
It wasn't the other way around.

quote:Not at all. Christianity is a religion that follows the teachings of Christ. We know what Christ did and taught from the Bible. Even the Catholics appeal to the Bible, yet they add to it by putting Papal decrees and Church Council rulings on par with Scripture. Blame Catholics for twisting the faith all you want (I do) but it doesn't change the tenets of the faith as outlined in the scriptures, which are the source of what Christians are to believe. Adding to or taking away from the scriptures results in a cult, not Christianity.
you can do whatever the frick you want. the fact is Catholics are the largest sect of Christianity by about double. so for you to say these calls for violence go against the teachings of Christianity is simply a lie.
YET AGAIN we have another example of you wanting something to be true, and so you just go ahead and act as if it really is.
This isn't a matter of what I want to be true; it's true.
quote:I would if they had anything similar to the Old Testament vs. New Testament periods or if their religion's founder wasn't a war lord. I mentioned context. We can't forget the context by which Islam was founded.
and i assume you give the Quran the same benefit of the doubt?
quote:Nothing is up to my "personal feelings". What you're talking about is eisegesis, which is not what I do. I use exegesis to understand the scriptures.
also, what other parts in the bible are up to your personal feelings about what is important and what isn't? and how do you choose?
I'm sorry that your parents and pastors didn't teach you proper hermeneutics. At least I assume they didn't based on your ignorance of Bible interpretation.

quote:I don't wish anyone to go to hell, even a militant atheist such as Hitchens. I assume he's in hell because he took his last breath clinging to his atheistic beliefs, which the Bible says results in damnation.
Just like a peace-loving Christian, to wish one of your enemies eternity in a magical fairy play land consisting of lava and torture.
Yeah, Religion of Peace right there...
Even if I were wishing him to go to hell (I'm not and didn't), that wouldn't negate the claim of Christianity being peaceful. Wishing ill on someone--while sinful--is not performing harm to anyone.

Well you sure do think you have his final destination pegged.

quote:It's one of the core beliefs of Christianity that only Jesus saves people from the wrath of God for sin. If Hitchens had repented of his atheism and put his trust in Christ to save him, he would be in paradise this very day. As it stands, he did not make a profession of faith and by all accounts remained obstinate in his unbelief, so according to the Bible, he died in his sins and will suffer the wrath of God for eternity, as all will who don't trust in Christ to save them.
Well you sure do think you have his final destination pegged.

Which is apparently your confusion. That's your issue. Stop bothering the thread and work it out on your personal time.

Well, certainly not all of his teachings.

ignorance of Bible interpretation
This is an interesting thing for you to say, considering your own ignorance of the same.

So a right-wing Christian who believes in separation of church and state destroys the statue and we get 18 pages about how persecuted Christians are?

No, I mean Christianity, as highlighted above.

You show a lack of understanding of the Bible in many of your posts. That, or you're intentionally ignoring portions of it. I suppose I could've been wrong and the latter is correct.

Shoot. I'm on my phone and didn't notice it was you who I was replying to. I need to be more careful. Shunning resumed.
Posted on 7/1/17 at 9:55 am to FooManChoo
So you know your way around a phone about as well as the Bible.
See ya next time.

Dance, monkey, dance.
If your second statement was a response to my first statement then you would not have split up my two statements with your response to my first statement.

What makes you think he is a right-wing Christian?
He obviously is just another idiot who does not know the true meaning of "Separation of Church and State".
But don't worry. The new SCOTUS will straighten that out.
