I haven’t seen any Jews or Buddhists have the bad manners to do that.
Hmmm. I’m not yelling nor am I proselytizing. I am a proud worshiper of the God of Abraham and will proclaim his glory at my whim, just as you worship the god of the Christians.
How’s this. We’ll both worship the One True God. We’ll just have to disagree on which one it is.
Point taken. Fighting religious wars using reason inevitably breaks down at some point because ultimately there is some premise that must be accepted that rests on faith. We’ve been having this argument for 2000 years. Nothing new under the sun.
Ah; but many do!
Who do you thiunk STARTED the 'church' anyway?
Over 3,000 GENTILES?
New International Version (NIV)
17 “‘In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
18 Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy.
19 I will show wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below,
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
20 The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood
before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.
21 And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord will be saved.’[a]
22 “Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know. 23 This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men,[b] put him to death by nailing him to the cross. 24 But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him. 25 David said about him:
“‘I saw the Lord always before me.
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest in hope,
27 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
you will not let your holy one see decay.
28 You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence.’[c]
29 “Fellow Israelites, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day. 30 But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne. 31 Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay. 32 God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it. 33 Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear. 34 For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,
“‘The Lord said to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand
35 until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet.”’[d]
36 “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”
37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”
40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” 41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
Do you want them banned too?
Yup; Remedial Reading Comp. 101 is needed.
(You are, however, gettin' that VICTIMHOOD thing down REALLY good!)
Perhaps we need to find another GODWIN to address THIS comparison.
1. lead the Jews against their enemies,
2. restore the Third Temple,
3. and reunite the Jews in Israel.
I await your data to PROVE this assertion.
Are you confusing Jews with your MORMON friends?
How 'many'???
That's fine with me. But you should probably remember that next time you decide to call Christianity an apostate/false religion.
