I read plenty, til things degenerated into nastiness and namecalling. Then I basically skimmed through those.

So are you just not going to address any points I raised in my posts (quite cordially I might add)?

If not, have a great evening.

"So are you just not going to address any points I raised in my posts"

No I am not, I don't have to argue Christian beliefs with you, I am a Christian and quite satisfied with my personal relationship with God, and with all due respect, I do not require your help. Not only that, but I don't consider throwing Bible quotes around any sort of debate.

I am debating the person in here who made the statement that those who do not believe Jesus Christ is who He is, are the anti-Christ.

My question was quite simple, does she mean that Jews are the anti-Christ?

The person with whom I was debating proceeded to call me a liar without once pointing out a lie that I have told, called me a racist, even after the point where I provided proof that she was completely misconstruing my statement, and twisting the meaning of a well-known FR expression to raise the old and tried liberal tactic of destroying an well-founded debate with a false charge of racism...you would think that I was talking to the Right Reverend Al Sharpton.

My point is real simple, take it or leave it, it means little to me.

One cannot claim understanding of a religion by reading bits and pieces of that religion's sacred documents, it can't be done with Christianity, Islam, or Judaism.

To escalate this into a religious war is to fall right into bin Laden's and the rest of Muslim extremist's hands, to condemn and blame all of Islam for the actions of the adherents of one small faction, is to unite Islam, and make enemies of those who otherwise are not enemies.

To engage in the sort of name-calling so apparent in this forum, and to openly call for nuclear strikes on Muslims Holy sites, and the capitals of Muslim capitals around the world, is to award bin Laden with the victory he so desires.

And yes, those suggestions have been made, quite frequently as a matter of fact, by members in good standing of this forum.

Clear heads are required to abort the possibility of a world war where the enemy could be living right next door to you.

What do I think God thinks about Muslims?

He loves us all.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life."---John 3:16

Let me ask you something.

Do you believe that Christ would have us judge Muslims?

Or do you think that He would have us witness to them, and warn us that passing judgment belongs to His Father?
