  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Catholics-Muslims spiritually united?

FIRST let me state this....I consider Islam a religion of the DEVIL.
So while i was perusing some of B16's stuff i noticed him quoting good ole JP2 where i came across a comment that struck me as very odd, i'd love to hear what you guys think of this.

HERE

3. My brothers, when I think of this spiritual heritage and the value to man and society, in its ability to provide mainly young people an orientation of life, to fill the void left by materialism, to give secure foundation to the same social and legal system, I wonder if it will become urgent, precisely today when Christians and Muslims have entered a new period of history, recognize and develop the spiritual bonds that unite us, so that " defend and promote together as the Council invites us to all men, social justice, moral values, peace and freedom "(Nostra Aetate, ibid.).

Probably just referring to the fact that Islam is also a Abrahamic religion.
Recognizing Abraham without Isaac and Jacob is not recognizing the one and the same Abraham...
Even if it were how does that spiritually bind?

Our God is tri-unity in person-hood? Where can the spiritual bind of unity be?

Muslims also believe that we (Christians and Jews alike) worship Allah, but we haven't realized it yet.
There's also the fact that of the world religions only 3 are monotheistic: Islam, Christianity and Judaism. In that way then yes we're spiritually similar

I don't know. I was only explaining what the Pope was probably referring to.

You are right Simon I now see the Light, The Pope and Mohammed are in Kahoots to rule the world and unleash Satan ( though I don't know what happend when a Muslim tried to kill JPII)

But thank you for showing me the way of all the evilness and how they are really one of the same.

And to think I thought all the SDA's claims were fanatical.

silly me

What here is fanatical?
I simply stated islam is a religion of satan, what could be the spiritual bind that unites between a "christian" religion and islam.

what is fanatical is that because you proclaim it's from Satan that it is ACTUALLY true to be from Satan. Simpley because you proclaim it.

That is fanatical.

I think Islam took a right when it should have taken left and there have extremeist in it. But I have Muslims friends at work and the Islam they follow is not of Satan nor is it the same Islam of the extreamists.

Again I don't agree with their faith, But Idon't agree that the Jews reject Christ nor do I believe the faith of the JW's and LDS. But I don't think they are of Satan either. Just took a right when they should have taken a left.

And anyone who does love each other I do feel spirtiuall united.

To proclaim anyone who disagrees with you from Satan is fanitatical

Well B16 quoted JP2 on this very item in past couple years, so apparently it is relevant.

I'm starting to question your perspective on the true God...

What do you think Christ meant when He said, "He who is not with Me is against Me"?

Does this sound as simple as a left turn?
From their book of Sura

"Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by his messenger, and follow not the religion of truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low"

How bouts this?

"The last hour will not come before the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims kill them."

or this?

"Oh Muslim, Oh servant of Allah, here is a Jew hiding behind me. Come here and kill him."

Please do not post extremist quotes and pass them off as a whole. You do this way too often.

and you quesiton me on my Faith?

Hmm you try to divide Christians, you try to pit one Christian against the next.

So what would Satan do? Try and divide Christians?

you have a nice one Simon.

I truely hope you don't have a gun permit

How about this one?

John 8:44 "Ye out of a father the Devil are, and the desires of the father of ye, ye are willing to be doing...."

Besides, the Muslims are a lot closer to Jesus than are the unbelieving Jews today I would think :)

http://www.christianforums.com/t5615012/
Jesus Christ, was he sent for all mankind?

quote OP:

Hello.We muslims believe he was sent to the sons of Israel not for all mankind.This doesnt mean the one who follows Him in real does a wrong job but this is God's plan for He sent Muhammed-aleyhissalam-to all mankind.
Which proofs do christians have to claim that Jesus was sent to entire humanity and not only to the israelites?
