First, if Muslims revered the Bible, it begs the question why? According to their Muslim beliefs the entire New Testatment must be discarded since Muslims deny the Godhood of Jesus Christ, and the existence of the Holy Trinity. Considering the New Testatment is based upon foundations from the Old Testament and God's promise of His son, and that the Jews are His chosen people, they must deny the Old testatment as well. Why would they revere what their religion holds to be a lie?
That leaves them with a god, obviously not the same God that is the Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
So they KILL them. Islam - the peaceful religion. < /SARCASM >
Calling Isalm peaceful is like calling me a great typist!
Once again, you drew a conclusion based on information you didn't have. The word "IF" was merely window-dressing. You were setting up a strawman.
That question could include, changing the Constitution to reflect his assertion, changing U.S. declared defense policy, energy policy, and of course, as always, MONETARY policy. Where does Hagee draw the line?
Hagee didn't mention any of that. You did. Answer your own question and leave him out of it.
I have already answered my own questions with the conclusion that Hagee is a hypocritical idiot and a huckster.
But upon re-reading his rant, the only pro-active action he prescribed was "to pray for the peace of Jerusalem". Whatever that entails?
I'm so moved, where should I send the check?
So why is Joe Lieberman calling for more Palestinian immigration to America? Why does Sandra Feldman want Sami Al-Arian back in his South Florida classroom? Why did every Democrat Senator with religious ties to Israel block America from drilling in ANWR and sending less money to the Saudis? Why is Ruben working, for over a million a month, for Citigroup whose largest shareholder is a Saudi prince? Why is it when I turn on TV it is always a Democrat lawyer blasting Bush or Ashcroft for being mean to those poor terrorists we are holding in custody?
That's because it is a lie. More people have been killed by state-sponsered atheism in the last 100 years than all the Christian wars combined.
There are lies, damned lies, and of course, statistics. Try reading some of the history of Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. You might find that many deaths resulted from human prejudice and greed, much of it state-sponsored, and almost always incorporating the ever useful component of "religion".
Has state-sponsored atheism killed more people? Perhaps. Has religious extremism killed a higher percentage of the population at any given time in history? Most probably. In the absence of powerful atheistic states, will future deaths reflect the economic, cultural, and religious divisions? Most certainly.
Including the current dilemma? Absolutely, according to Mr. Hagee.
You've embarrassed yourself.
None of the groups you mention was Arab. There is no battle mentioned in the Bible between the Israelites and the Arabs.
Who said I praid to any god? By the way , you still didn't answer my question. Why is Christianity false if by definition it is a religion based on the teachings of Jesus Christ?
The descendants of Isaac and Ishmael wage war over the land God promised to Abraham. "There is no solution" wrote Israeli hero David Ben-Gurion. We want the country to be ours. They want the country to be theirs."
That about says it all.
That entails, praying for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, because then and only then will there be peace in Jerusalem..
