Yet, maybe they'll have more visions of Mohammed like everybody else is experiencing?

I dunno about that...
Nirvana soumds alot like heaven to me.
Thank God that he has forgiven my sin through the completed work of Jesus Christ and that I am secure - knowing that my name is written in the book of life.
If you would like more information, feel free to post mail.
Nirvana is not Heaven. Thus, I repeat, Buddha did not believe in Heaven. He also did not believe in God.
One true God, one Heaven. No admittance for those who do not believe, and that's what God has to say about Himself and His home.
Buddha advanced the concept of some perfect human, as in an elaborate form of humanism. Become ever so perfect as "being" (a human) and become Buddha, find oneself by losing oneself in Nirvana, a state of humanism.
There is no room here for "moral equivalency." Nirvana is not a moral nor theological, nor faith principle equivalent of Heaven.
Oh, lighten up. It's a gag for all the syncretists who think 'all religions are true' (and moderately amusing even for those of us who know Christ is the Way, who said 'no one comes to the Father except through Me'.)
"Salvation in Islam" means a one way trip to Hell.
Oh, I'm light enough already. Have a nice day.
No he didn't.
He advanced the concept of the perfect soul that wouldn't have to be imprisoned by the corporal.
In other words, an angel.
The issues are profound. Even written "lightly," they are what they are. I suppose someone could attach a Schwarzenegger sound file saying, 'I'll be back' to the comments, but, well...I don't think it'd improve the truths involved.
Fine, believe what you will. If you ever want to save your soul, please seek Christ.
You just exhausted your own connundrum, however, given that you're writing "in other words, an angel."
Because that reveals a number of profound issues: there's no concept of Heaven to Buddha, you require "in other words" and a Judeo-Christian concept to elaborate as to what Buddha opined, and, an "angel" even in Judeo-Christian theology is not Heaven, nor is God.
Please read these words carefully and slowly: to Buddha, there was no Heaven, there was no God. His concepts are entirely humanistic. And they do not conclude in either God, nor Heaven, two concepts refuted by Buddha.
I am not deliberately misreading your post."no matter the reason" precludes even self-defense.If you mean murder,say murder.Words have meanings. Unless you are the Mad Hatter you should use the correct word. One cannot order a burger and then become angry when it is not the fish sandwich one desires.Nor anywhere have I condoned anyone killing the innocent.
I did say murder. Whose post are you reading? I think you are trying to justify killing in the name of MO. Islam is a murderous cult, one that MURDERS innocent people every day. If you don't like that, tough sh**.
Good one babygene! Remember that Christ also said..."I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6. I don't see mohammad mentioned as an alternate route.
Bingo on that stuff. Translators have added and subtracted from the Bible with liberty over the years.
The biggest inconsistency is where Jesus talks about rendering unto Caesar what is his. Paul has a big thing about "gummints" being ordained of God. HORSE MANURE! That stuff was added later by kings and churchmen who wanted to keep the masses subdued, and neither quite jive, to put it mildly, with Jesus beating the moneychangers' backsides out of the Temple.
Which parts of Rom 13 were added? Evidence?
I've shown your misuse of words,now you show me any post where I condone Muslims murdering anyone.
I will let them worship a dead rock as long as they don't force anyone else to. God allows us freewill to reject Him.
The evidence is the inconsistency with Jesus' life. He rebelled against Jewish law. He physically assaulted people who were sinning in the temple. Furthermore, if Paul was such a law and order person, why was he constantly in the jailhouse? Jesus, the disciples and the apostles were ALL law breakers. That's why not many died of old age.
In an answer to your question, I would say Paul's beginning of the chapter starts at verse eight. The style of writing seems to change as well.
