I am a Christian Man (Response to "I am a Muslim Woman")

Just to satisfy my curiosity, does being a Catholic qualify as being "Christian" in your view? I've noticed quite a bit of Christian references here, and I'd like to clarify this in my own mind. Thanks.

[Jeff Head]

Thanks.

I just got word from UPS that the first branck of printed, trade paperbacks will be in today so they will ship out to those customers on Friday from here in Idaho.

It's pretty exciting.

Thanks for the "review". Hope you can stick with the series as the new ones are written and published.

We don't disagree on much.

But I've passed the point (permanently, I think), where I can look at Islam itself as anything other than a vicious heresy. They deny the divinity of Christ, and I think the scripture on #51 describes Mohammed perfectly.

For me, throwing in the towel means saying so.

I further believe that anti-semitism is the DNA fingerprint of the lineage Islam shares with Nazism and Communism. I believe that Islamic reformation is not possible, because I think that true Islam is manifested by expansionist jihad. That fire will not be extinguished from within.

If you believe in Christ as your Savior, then you are a Christian.

From everything I have ever heard or read, Catholics do that ... so with my fairly simple definition (and I do not believe it needs to be hard or complicated), the answer is yes. In the end ... for each of us, it will be God in Heaven who will judge.

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I profess Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Despite what some may say about my faith, I know on Whom I trust and to Whom I look.

Hope this helps you understand my perspective.

Thanks again for another thoughtful essay. Have a blessed Thanksgiving Day.

Thank you bro. May you have the same up north there.

Cloudy, damp and cool down here on the lower Payette.

This is a JohnHuang2 style mega-ping.

Sorry for any duplicates who have already seen and responded.

FYI ... my thoughts and response to the "I am a Muslim Woman" post.

Regards to all.

I have a firm conviction that free will, exercised within moral constraint, is the single most fundamental principle associated with mankind's ultimate happiness and progress.

Free will bump.

Well worth your time.

Behold, those of you who seek our destruction, our terrible swift sword. Oddly, you haven't seen nothing yet.

Saddam, clear your calendar. You will be very busy soon.

Thanks. I learned something new today. I always assmumed that someone who owned 'domain.com' also had to register 'www.domain.com' but as you point out, that isn't the case. Sometime when I'm bored, I'll try to figure out why I can sometimes see one but not the other.

Well done. Here's wishing you a good Thanksgiving.

We Americans, Christian and otherwise, are very disturbed by a general lack of avowed and open condmentation, with no excuse, by Islamic clerics, both abroad and here in our own country. That is the fuel (along with the burning pyre of the WTC and the Pentagon) that is fueling many of the feelings of rightous indignation you see here.

You ought to double-check your facts before you go out on a limb with this kind of easily rebutted accusation. I didn't have to look hard to find plenty of condemnations of the 9/11 attacks by Muslim scholars (including clerics) and other prominent Muslims:

This link indexes many condemnations:

Muslims Condemn Terrorist Attacks

Here are some other examples:

Subject: A CLEAR CRITERION: MUSLIM SCHOLARS AND INTELLECTUALS CONDEMN ATTACKS IN NEW YORK AND WASHINGTON

Muslim Clerics Condemn Attacks On US

Muslim clerics say attacks in US are un-Islamic

Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi Condemns Attacks Against Civilians: Forbidden in Islam

Muslim scholar: Terrorists are mass murderers, not martyrs

And a wonderful Thanksgiving to you and yours bro.

I'm sitting here really grateful right this minute because UPS just delivered the first batch of my printed books and I can start mailing to paying customers on Friday.

Now, if I can just sell enough to get into the black with it I will be making some progress indeed. Actually, I would be grateful beyond measure anyway just knowing the book had actually gotten produced and a few folks will get to read it ... but eating is nice too LOL!
