What is this illogical garbage? You want me extoll the virtues of your deity before you’ll even listen? Who the hell do you think you are, anyway?

Jesus said he was here to fulfill the law. The law laid down by his dad. The law laid down in the O.T. This is the excuse used every time it’s pointed out that Jesus himself said nothing about abortion or homosexuality. Now, you want to conveniently ignore that to have it both ways.

So, which is it? Does Jesus support the O.T. or not? If he does, then I’ve made my point. If he doesn’t, then why do I keep hearing that Jesus condemns people that he never mentions?

Admitting that Jesus never said things like the Koran's later violent verses = extolling his virtues?
It's not my fault that you cannot even admit a simple truth.
You also can't admit you made a mistake in using Ezekiel's vision to say that the Old Testament tells people to murder.

There is one thing I would like you to try to make at least a feeble attempt to understand. It is that even verses in the Old Testament that mention going to war are meant for specific situations against specific people or nations for a specific time.
The Koran's instructions to tax, rape, and murder infidels is an open ended command.

It's clear you don't WANT to know how the Old Testament is understood, you want to attack and do nothing but attack. You have given every indication that your mind is closed on this subject.
Therefore, after my next paragraph I will follow Jesus' advice at Matthew 7:6 from here on out.

If you need to consider it a win to continue feeling superior, have at it, but know this: A person who is unreasonably belligerent may have the last word, but only because no one in their right mind wants to continue being treated in that manner.
