True. I could be wrong, I suppose.
However, I began to suspect that was the problem early on, when he spoke of being "shoved into a box".
I can't think of many groups who accuse Christians of shoving them into a box. And a lot of Christians are guilty of doing just that, I'm afraid.
But it was the term "partner" that really clinched it. I asked him if he meant "business partner", but he ignored the question.
I can't think of another group that habitually uses that term. I've heard bf and gf, and significant other, and then there are those who refer to their "old man" or "old lady"...but I can't remember ever having heard a straight person refer to their "other half" as their "partner". Have you?
Average Christian vs. an average Muslim.
I think you are referring to the Old Testament.
Consider, for example, the followers of the god, Molech. There was a ritual where all the women of a certain age were to run as fast as they could into the wilderness. A few minutes later, all the men of that age would be set after them. A man was allowed to rape any woman he could catch. Now, I imagine some of those gals were kinda slow, if you know what I mean...but it was still a rather brutal idea.
Anyway, nine months later, there would be a crop of babies from these matings.
What do you think happened to those kids?
But when the Israelites showed up did they save these children? Just to clarify, you're saying that genocide is ethical when...?
The number I was hinting at was 1.
There is no one standing between a seeker and Jesus.There's an awful lot of people standing between you and Jesus saying you've got to go through them to get to Him.
I think CF ruled awhile ago that, for the purposes of this website, Mormons and JWs are not Christians, and they cannot post in any "Christians Only" area.And, I still think that if you want to have a discussion about "superiority", comparing Christians to Muslisms or Atheists doesn't get anywhere. However, if you bring up the Mormons or the JW's, the accusations are telling.
Well, St Paul does say that Christians (at least some, ie saints) will judge angels, and the world.
But not due to any moral superiority they have attained for themselves. And the whole "Saint vs. normal guy"-division is unbiblical and a lie of Rome. A Christian is a saint - that's the way the Scriptures speak of us.

I apologize. I do not actually mean to debate. I just enjoy asking questions. I'm interested.
Understand that I do not doubt that you are a Christian. I am just not a fan of the whole chosen/True Christian idea. It is a particular problem of mine. I feel (and think I demonstrated) it spins in circles.
I am going to ask one more big question in a bit. Feel free to answer.
I believe that, in the case of Mormons, the decision was based on their belief that God was once a man who lived on another planet and was raised to the status of godhood by the god of that planet, who attained his godhood in the same way...no one knows how many gods there might be, but given the numbers of stars we see, each of them having it's own god, evidently there are a great many.It's odd they would claim those religions are not Christian when they claim to be Christian but that other religions are Christian. I thought CF allowed all religions to be claim to be Christian if they claim to be and not to question them.
Perhaps you do not have the new birth. A non Christian remains in their fallen nature. A Christian with the new birth has God on their inside. If that is not superior, then nothing is superior. But, in truth, it is.Christians are not morally superior to non-Christians.
Christians are not superior to non-Christians in any way whatsoever.

It is God Who is Superior.Perhaps you do not have the new birth. A non Christian remains in their fallen nature. A Christian with the new birth has God on their inside. If that is not superior, then nothing is superior. But, in truth, it is.
What are we comparing? God to people? Of course God is superior. Christians to non-Christians? Christians are superior because of God within them. I would also add, no one comes to the light unless they love the light. The light is the Truth and the Truth is God. People with a love of the Truth are superior to people who love their lies.It is God Who is Superior.
Do not take credit where it is not due...

The light is the Truth and the Truth is God. People with a love of the Truth are superior to people who love their lies.
Again, how are they superior?
if you think they are immoral, what is the solution for atheists and muslims?"

-"Convert to Christianity."
Christians are morally superior to non-Christians. In what other ways are Christians superior to non-Christians?
