Oh, well I was talking about "in reality"...
Of course Islam believes itself to be true but Mohammed was still charitable to the Christians just as was Alexander the Great and Cyrus the Great to other denominations.
So charitable in fact muslims hold Christians as slaves in the Sudan.
I'm still worried about the Christian effects on moralit and political life.
You really should answer OEJ's question.
Anyway, I could see where a pagan might have conflicts with not murdering, committing adultery, stealing, honoring parents and the like....
I'm still here because I don't believe in walking away from a problem nor putting my head in the sand.
And what
is your problem? That there are some who
dare follow Christ, even after all of your rationilzations against Him?
I don't have faith in that the problem will be taken care of by a higher power, therefore I address it myself. Initially by learning more about it which is why I'm here.
Thank you for exposing your claim to "openmindedness" as being a lie. At least you can quit claiming you want to be "converted", now.
The caves of Qumran, authors unknown.
Do a little more research on that, k?
Now, now...
The reason why we don't see eye to eye is just that. I am willing to argue points logically, you will always revert back to faith or scripture.
Stop being dishonest. It's not going to get you anywhere. To correct you misconception, we don't see eye to eye because I repented of what you are now, and I used to be.
Faith is the evidence of things unseen.
scripture open to interpretation hence the multitude of religions and multiple schisms in Christianity.
The only folks I see who misuse Scripture are those who need to make themselves right. wickwoman, your hero, is a master at it. Anyway, denominations aren't Christ. You yourself don't believe people should have faith in the Bible, yet you think it's ok people have faith in denominations?
