To: Revelation 911
Odd, muslims claim Christ as only a prophet - Now why would diminishing the trinity and basis of Christianity be tolerable to a Christian organization.

You misunderstand. There is a difference between not quarreling with another faith, and accepting the tenets of that faith.

I know that "not bashing another religion" is rather a new concept for you, but try to keep an open mind.

Ok - But Illbay doesnt see the Jews as "chosen" - by that measure they will not attain heaven.

I wonder if you're really so obtuse, or if you're deliberately being precious.

A Jew is not "chosen" simply because he is born a Jew. He is "chosen" only if he accepts Christ as the Messiah, is born again through faith, repentence and baptism.

You have a slippery, sliding definition of "bashing" and other such concepts. Perhaps they are too complicated for you.

OOOh this is all too confusing.

Oh, I guess I was right. How astute of me.

You mean like my saying "I'm not going to argue with you about Mormonism, but I think the tenets of your faith are heresy?"

Something like that?

Of course that's just my observation.

.....and youve gleaned this from who?

Whos to say God hasnt or couldnt choose otherwise - Im from the free will side of Protestantism, yet you take this ten steps further and say God wouldnt do any such thing and the Jew MUST choose Jesus

He can do whatever he wants - Thats what a soveriegn God does

Youre comments are clearly anti semitic

Why its tolerated amazes me
