Burning the Koran bad?

[dad]

There was no Koran when the books were burned in the new testament. If there were, and one was in the pile would that be a bad thing? I notice that people are killed in revenge for burning a book...is this reasonable? Are not people more valuable than paper?

Reasonable to whom? To Christians, no. To Muslims, yes.

Apparently not to Islamic fanatics. Note that, after the books were burned, two US soldiers were killed by an Afghan soldier. Then yesterday (Sunday) two US Army officers were assassinated inside the Interior Ministry. What galls me more than anything is our empty suit sitting in the Oval Office apologized for the inadvertantly improper disposal of the Qu'rans (which were being used by detainees to communicate among themselves within a prison, decidedly against any prison's rules) and did nothing to demand the Afghani government apologize for four US citizens' deaths over a flippin' book!

A flipping book? You guys consider the Bible the same thing as Jesus Christ. The "Word of God". Is the Bible just a flippin book?

Just because you reject Islam, doesn't mean they don't exalt the Koran to the same level as you view the Bible.

No, the Bible is inspired by God. The Qu'ran was not.

I'm sure they exalt the Qu'ran far exceedingly above how I exalt the Bible. I think the actions of the last few days prove that. The difference between us and the Muslim fanatics is, if someone burned Bibles on The Mall in DC, we wouldn't kill them and burn down our neighbors homes and businesses in protest.

Jase, Christians believe the bible is the word of God, but I do not know any Christians that believes we should kill anyone for burning it. We do not worship the bible.

the Qurans that were accidentally burned, had extremest messages written in them, that is why they were taken.

An apology is fine, but not to mention the disgust of their behavior and killing of our men is sickening.

The bible teaches if you are not a child of God, saved by Christ, you are a child of the prince of this world, Satan. And we can tell by the evil hate these Muslims are displaying in Afghanistan that that is exactly who they are worshiping.

pray for the salvation of the Muslim men who killed our soldiers, for they are so filled with hate.

Yep, what she said ...

Find that hard to believe. Are you suggesting Muslims want mass murder over burning a book? I would suspect that would be the extreme elements. And I think that their game is getting old fast.

Almost like the man in the office doesn't really care one way or the other. Playing both sides against the middle?

Not me. I would not condone killing hordes of people or even one over burning a bible. I have thrown a few older ones out. Civilized behavior should be considered. The world tires of savages.

Doesn't matter that much to me why a Koran is burned. Kinda like burning a flag. No need to start killing people over some silly thing.

Perhaps. Anything with him wouldn't surprise me in the least. But I think the reality is that his agenda is to weaken the US so that it is just another nation, not the leading nation in the world. Why he wants to do that is open to speculation.

Though some Christians call the Bible the "Word of God" I doubt that they put the Bible as the same as Jesus, the "Word of God". They should really make the difference overt. The Bible is the inspired written word of God which reveals the "Word of God Jesus".

It is a book with an inspired message within it. Destroy that book and the message still exists.

In one of the other threads here, a poster said they are the same thing. Bible worship is an epidemic on Conservative boards like this. I find it absurd.

 

[Lovely Lane]

Yes, it is absurd.

"A poster" is not Christianity. Some Christians, but far from the majority, call the Bible the "Word of God". Most that do know the difference between the Bible and Jesus.

Getting old? It looks exactly the same today as it has for centuries.

Jesus is "the Word" made flesh.

Doubting that is not a good thing to do.

Who is doubting anything about Jesus?
Jesus is the Word of God.
Scripture is the written word of God.

They are not the same thing.

The "words" testify of Him.

I mean DUH, the Bible isn't the body of Christ Jesus, but the "word of God" is certainly Jesus from "its" first appearance in the Bible interacting with people, until "it" was taken into heaven in plain view of the Apostles.
