aah.. I see. You can not justify in any means that the leader of a church can kiss the koran and say that Muslims have part of salvation. You cannot answer with any scripture that supports your view. So you throw out all the garbage that I can't possibly know because I don't follow this guy who kisses the koran. Circular logic. I tried to keep all the worn out arguments that you know won't get anywhere because it appears you do not have biblical support, nor does the pope for doing and saying what was done and said. Sad. I was really trying to try understand HOW you come up with justifying what this dude says and does. You throw out all the chaff that you can trying to avoid the question. That is ok. I was hoping for an answer, but I really didn't expect one, sad to say.
Same ole... when you can't show your foundation biblically, then attack the person and the whoever else you decide to group in with them so you can throw more darts. The stuff you just said has nothing to do with what we were talking about.
So that leaves anyone reading this to see that there is no biblical or Godly reason that anyone should think much of a so-called Christian leader who blesses the Koran by kissing it and by saying that Muslims have an advantage in coming to faith.
No, you don't see and that's the problem. You reject the authority of the Church Christ established for your own vain reading of scripture. I have laid out the reasoning for anyone willing to see, that you reject the Church of Christ for one of your own making is sad, but not unexpected.
I think the very fact that we have spent so much time discussing the Muslims speaks to the fact that God has a particular plan for them. But your right, there is no mention of Muslims in Scripture, or Americans, or Calvinists or Lutherans or Germans or you or me... no reason at all to believe that God has a plan for any of these people I suppose.
