That was real fun!It's the foundation of fairness, justice and the law. But I'm not surprised that you'd find that ludicrous, seeing how you subscribe to the most primitive form of authoritarian tribalist ethics.
Honestly, these sentences are such a bunch of garbled nonsense that I don't even see the point you were trying to make.
And yet, this very concept prompted you to protest against "criticizing one of our own in public". Your dishonesty and insolence is only dwarfed by your inability to grasp what you're doing.
Name five! Make sure your information comes from a credible site, a credible Christian site.Ask the Christian? Well, here's one: How do you reconcile the at least 666 contradictions found in the Bible?
Greetings. Since the Koran was written AFTER the Bible, the Muslims could easily make a book that would contain little or no Contraditions.A credible Christian site for Biblical contradictions? That would be like asking the Soviet Information Ministry on information concerning Stalin's purges.
I have no need for your link, I have seen countless times the same pathetic attempts at finding Quranic contradictions where there are none. Besides, I'm not up for interrogation here, whereas Ahmid here has very much put himself up for it by posting this thread.
Oh, how I lament the limitations of this crude English language, that I cannot accurately express the furthest-most quality of my positive affirmation beyond the simple word; yes.Christians wake up in the morning with their savior in mind, asking G*d to bless this day. We walk day by day with peace in mind and hope for the future. We carry the shield of faith, a helmet of salvation, a belt of truth, a sword of G*ds word, shoes for carrying the good news, and a breastplate of righteousness before G*d. I lament and pray for the eudamonai, pantheists, atheists, muslims, hindu, buddhists, bahai, mormons, J witessnesses and even catholics. Am I arrogant knowing I am righteous in the sight of G*d due to having faith in Jesus Christ and desiring others to have this same knowledge?
How ironic, that you should accuse SoJ of being critical with another Christian, and then you do the same toward him? (Mat 7:3; Rom 2:1)Is it not uncomfortable to judge the words a Christian shares here as unloving and un-Christian? It should be food for thought at least, since none of us express ourselves alike. Should I ask what tenements of faith are and thereby cause you embarrassment? Or should I ask what business it is of yours to interject YOUR way of doing things into the way of others who are as guided by the Holy Spirit as anyone who is; and whom the Holy Spirit reaches on the level they are reachable?
Is that where seeking the truth should occur? In the 'dark?' (Mark 4:21-23)Luzeiro said:Therefore, should I gently suggest you do not correct the Christian; not publically, anyways.
I find your use of the phrase "...such as.." to be laughable. Such a phrase intentionally establishes the existence of other possibilities, and yet, I sincerely doubt you would accept any other set of standards other than the aforementioned commandments. The entirety of your post certainly carries the distinct connotation that standards like common law, virtue ethics, or deontology hold no virtue in the absence of your Bible. (Rom 2:14)When there are no standards; such as the ten commandments for instance; there is no way to measure behavior.
Um, not to be the non-Christian-instructing-the-Christian or anything, but wouldn't that be ... um ... God? (Do I really need to cite this one?)Luzeiro said:If we say nothing, do not judge, who opposes the evil ones?
Luzeiro said:And the evil ones will continue to do evil.
Actually, according to your Bible, "evil" pervades regardless of standards. Consider John 14:17 and Luke 17:1Luzeiro said:Evil pervades when no one judges the evil-doer.
I assume this is referencing Mat 23:33? "You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?" First, this is generally understood to be addressing scribes and Pharisees, not sinners in general. They, being in a position of authority, would likely be considered in a more equivocal position. (1 Cor 10:32)Nor did Jesus mince words when addressing sinners. Or did He say "you generation of vipers, you shall be with me in paradise"? Therefore, we are able to judge the vipers around us and judge their destination.

What contradictions?
"Do they not consider the Quran (with care)? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much discrepancy" (4:82)Greetings. Since the Koran was written AFTER the Bible, the Muslims could easily make a book that would contain little or no Contraditions.
So Muhammad received his revelation much like Daniel of the Jews did..."Do they not consider the Quran (with care)? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much discrepancy" (4:82)
"It is not fitting for a man that Allah should speak to him except by inspiration, or from behind a veil, or by the sending of a messenger to reveal, with Allah's permission, what Allah wills: for He is Most High, Most Wise." (42:51)So Muhammad received his revelation much like Daniel of the Jews did...
The truth doesn't need blinders or censorship - nor does it need proselytizing. The truth is its own testimony, and needn't fear doubt or inquiry. Quite the contrary - it thrives under close scrutiny. The closer, the better. The same cannot be said for Christianity, I'm afraid - and I say that after a decade of examining Christianity VERY closely.

Even as Paul thru Jesus Christ convinced idol worshiping infidels in the first century; likewise do I move about Breaking the Sword of Islam. For the true G*d so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life. I will love G*d and my neighbor. By Jesus Christ, all evil is bound from hindering. --- Ahmid Truth
G*d thru Jesus Christ bless Zakaria Botros - today he is reaching up to 50 million Muslims in the middle east through televised evangelism via satellite. Reportedly hundreds a week are turning to Christ and abandoning Islam... Hallelujah. 3lotus.com

Greetings! What does YHWH and JESUS mean by a NEW COVENANT? How do you think the Jews would interpret it? Thoughts? PeaceFor those who wondered what I meant, here's one for starters: Paul teaches that the Old Covenant has been replaced with the New, but does the Old Testament allow for such an interpretation? On the contrary, Moses consistently teaches that the Covenant and the Law are unchangeable and apply to all future generations.
and are you arrogant? well i'll ask a question that'll try to see if your arrogant in your "righteousness" because of beliefs and good natured intentions.
do you consider me an atheist or anyone that doesn't believe in your beliefs a fool?
i'll wait for your response.
What makes you think your God is right while all others are fake?
