You just did take them out of their context.Not true. There is nothing that can be taken out of context with words like "slay them where you find them" (2:191) or "fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you" (9:123).
"Isn't it funny that Episaw is an authority on everything and knows much more than what non-christians do (according to him) but all his knowledge hasn't enabled him to know the truth about reality.The Crusades and the Inquisition are favorites of non believers to bash believers with. They have this strange notion that when Christians (of the Catholic kind) and Christians of the Catholic kind who go to war against Christians of the non catholic kind, that somehow they are indicative of the Christian faith and teachings.
At the same time, they use what happened a thousand years ago to try and prove that is what christianity is today. TODAY, and I emphasise this word, most religious wars are the muslims against everyone else who are trying to impose their idea of religious law on everyone else and they don't mind how many they kill in the process to obtain victory.
You mean like Christians did a few hundred years ago?What makes it even more strange is that they will kill their own kind to impose their evil way of life and they have this strange notion that their threat to kill if you don't convert to islam is going to produce committed muslims and they somehow have gained a victory.
Ok, you really need to provide some evidence to back that claim. Making demonstrably false assertions like that only makes you sound silly.Jesus said if they hate me they are going to hate you. Today we are seeing this in real life as reports reveal that christians are the most hated and most persecuted people on earth,
Just who is degrading and belittling whom?It gets to the point where their attempts to degrade and belittle get somewhat boring and they become nothing more than an internet troll who no longer can get through the door because of the size of their heads.
You still haven't told everyone why you are an authority and I am not.Now I realise that all these people who I am referring to will come back at me with their denials and justifications but all that does is confirm what I said is truth.
1. There are plenty of other massive religious persecutions going on in the world, eg of Hindus, Christians and Muslims by Buddists in Sri Lanka and Burma.The Crusades and the Inquisition are favorites of non believers to bash believers with.

This is what gives the lie to every sentence that includes the phrase "the muslims". Muslims are not a homogenous set.What makes it even more strange is that they will kill their own kind to impose their evil way of life
I can't fathom that notion either, but it seems to run right though much of history for people of all religious traditions, including christians.and they have this strange notion that their threat to kill if you don't convert to islam is going to produce committed muslims and they somehow have gained a victory.
There are, of course, more christians than any other people on earth.Jesus said if they hate me they are going to hate you. Today we are seeing this in real life as reports reveal that christians are the most hated and most persecuted people on earth,
"If I'm right I'm right and if I'm wrong I'm right". Yeh, right.Now I realise that all these people who I am referring to will come back at me with their denials and justifications but all that does is confirm what I said is truth.
What a shameless abuse of scripture.Thankyou to those who confirmed what I said.
1 Cor 1:25 Even when God is foolish, he is wiser than everyone else, and even when God is weak, he is stronger than everyone else. 26 My dear friends, remember what you were when God chose you. The people of this world didn't think that many of you were wise. Only a few of you were in places of power, and not many of you came from important families. 27 But God chose the foolish things of this world to put the wise to shame. He chose the weak things of this world to put the powerful to shame. 28 What the world thinks is worthless, useless, and nothing at all is what God has used to destroy what the world considers important.
The only thing that is confirmed is that you are pathetically incapable of engaging in a discussion.Thankyou to those who confirmed what I said.

But why would you say this? Do you not think Christians are capable of committing terrible sins? King David "a man after God's own heart" committed adultery then committed murder to try to cover it up.This is slightly a trick question, because if you can find any examples then I will obviously reply that these people were not Christians to commit such acts
I presume then that you have kept every one of the 10 commandments perfectly...simply because there is no such instruction or teaching in the bible (which is obvious given the 6th commandment)...
There are, of course, more christians than any other people on earth. The raw figure shows little.
People of pretty much every faith are persecuted somewhere.You have some weird and wonderful claims. The numbers of christians on the planet have no bearing on the amount of persecution they suffer. Whether there are 2 million christians or 2 billion, the amount of suffering they experience can be the same. In other words, they get killed, tortured, beheaded, raped, hacked to death, made homeless etc. etc.
Persecution is not an exclusive Christian issue.
What does "the most persecuted" actually mean?I never said it was. I said that the latest report is that christians are the most persecuted faith on earth. if you are so concerned about every minutiae of the fact, then go research it and find out for yourself.
What does "the most persecuted" actually mean?
As I said, if you want to investigate every minutiae of the fact, do your own research.
Unlike you, when I know that someone has a habit of reporting the truth, I don't spend all my time trying to prove he is lying or finding fault with what he is saying.
In other words, you don't actually know what it means.
Repeting something without knowing its meaning (and truthfulness) is gossip.
