To remove faith in Jesus Christ, and replace it with faith in Mohammed is the most foolish mistake possible. PERIOD.

"To remove faith in Jesus Christ, and replace it with faith in Mohammed is the most foolish mistake possible. PERIOD."

Agree.

The biggest problem is the differences between the denominations. Specifically, leftist vs right of center Christians. We will not be able to present a united front against "the threat" until we solve the differences between us as Christians. Can you imagine how powerful we would be if we solved those differences?

And what I want to know is is this a relative of FReeper Luis Gonzales?

Well there are some things that are interesting to debate about but are not points of salvation (like pre/post tribulation) but there are some things out there which are borderline if not outright heresy.

It is just great the gays and Islams have access to children. Only Christians get locked out of education.

Don't the Islamites murder Islamites who convert to Christianity ? She will be a dead girl walking, then, if she decides to convert back to her former religion.

A Clash of culture, faith (latina conversions to islam)

She probably couldn't find anyone who actually believed that the religion was true... even in church.

There is something about people that instinctively makes the majority of them desire to live in the sort of "sane" culture that man has lived in throughout history - you know, the kind where men don't marry men?

If the church surrenders on a variety of issues, it opens the door for a more malevolent dispenser of social order to move in.

But perhaps it has come to that after all.

Specifically, leftist vs right of center Christians. We will not be able to present a united front against "the threat" until we solve the differences between us as Christians.

First, there are no leftist "Christians" who are more interested in promoting Christianity than they are in promoting a leftist social order. Invariably these people are more interested in promoting the gospel of abortion, gay marriage, and the welfare state than anything out of the New Testament.

In other words, there are a whole lot of people running around under the banner of the PCUSA, ELCA, UCC, UMC, and Roman Catholicism who are in no sense Christian to begin with.

...but then again, Islam still kills its heretics.

There's a Spanish saying about "Hispanics". Loosely translated, it's "We burned the Cross deeply into them".

[arthurus]

This trend has been noted before and underscores concerns about the invasion from the south.
