ERBIL, Iraqi â Satellite photos obtained by The Associated Press confirm what church leaders and Middle East preservationists had feared: The oldest Christian monastery in Iraq has been reduced to a field of rubble, yet another victim of the ISIS terror group's relentless destruction of heritage sites it considers heretical.

Except there is ZERO chance that they’ll beat Christ’s bride. The true church isn’t made up of buildings or even bodies that can be destroyed.
The only thing I can figure is you are angry at me because I support Trump and you dont. That is the only explanation. I really didnt do anything wrong here. You must be a Cruz supporter.
I am sorry for your loss.
1 Kings 18:36-40
36 At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: "Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command. 37 Answer me, Lord, answer me, so these people will know that you, Lord, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again."
38 Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.
39 When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, "The Lordâhe is God! The Lordâhe is God!"
40 Then Elijah commanded them, "Seize the prophets of Baal. Don't let anyone get away!" They seized them, and Elijah had them brought down to the Kishon Valley and slaughtered there.
Can’t destroy the Judeo-Christian spirit...
My problem with you is you think we all follow the same god. We do not. As for the second accusation, I finished Crippled America (simon/schuster 193pp) a few days ago. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
“Actually we do all have the same God. There is only one God.”
Thank you. That was my point. ISIS claim to be ‘worshiping’ God, but they clearly have no idea who God is or they couldn’t and wouldn’t be doing the things they are doing.
I did not say we all follow the same god. That is a lie.
And it is also part of the lie for you to drop pieceofthepuzzle off the discussion.
I was originally correcting your correction of pieceofthepuzzle.
You implied that there IS more than one God. Any fair reading of this thread would conclude that at the very least you worded your post poorly.
I was only correcting that.
Then you attacked me personally.
I conclude that we cannot get away from presidential politics in any of these threads. Which is a shame.
You dont like me because I support Trump.
I accept that. I understand that. I know that there are long-time conservatives here in FR (of which I am one) who want Cruz over Trump. I understand that.
Where is the CAIR press conference about this outrageous act?
PING
Elijah still wouldn’t be weeping, he would be condemning them and telling us to go back to Iraq and kill them
Just to make a point in your argument;
We all have...
is not the same as
We all follow...
There is a difference, and it does make a difference.
I have nothing against you personally, but to be so naive as to believe that any claim to god by any alien culture is equivalent to that as understood by western european christian culture is just foolish thinking to beat the band. Read some history. It’s living in a textbook vacuum completely at odds with reality.
Brother, we do have the same God, just like we breath the same air.
We don’t all worship God or even recognize His existence. But He is our God. He is the primary fact of reality. Or I should say - He IS reality. To quote God Himself: ‘I AM’.
Muslims are hugely disadvantaged by being born into the devil-created damnation-machine that we call Islam. But their ultimate good is the same as ours. If only they knew it!
May Christ break their bitter and evil religion and bring them to Himself. Amen.
I am sure we agree on the basic issue here. Neither of us are stupid.
But you DID attack me personally. You called me a baby in your first response. Totally uncalled for, based on the very POLITE way I pointed out to you that there is only one God in the universe (just backing up another poster on this same thread).
I conclude: you attacked me because of my tagline, not because of what I posted in this thread.
Well then I apologise. But you’re still wrong.
Ok. Like I said I am sure we are in complete agreement on this issue of how evil the muzzies are so I dont know what I am wrong about but thanks for your apology. I appreciate it.
The important point is: the muzzies want to tear down Western Civilization and the western liberals are completely on board with that project.
Liberalism is the AIDS that is fatally weakening civilization. Islam is the opportunistic infection that will be the clinical cause of death.
Wait, there are (or were) Christians in the middle east? Gosh, who knew?
Another late gift from Bush and his neocon handlers. Thanks Dubya.
So, I guess you're saying they are worshiping and obeying another god. There is only One True God - and He is NOT the one that they worship and obey.
