The heart of the issue is: which will help you bring more people to Christ: spreading hatred or by spreading empathy and understanding. I'm not talking about blindly embracing another religion, I'm talking about being neighbor to those of different faiths. This sign alienates would-be converts.

Or is that not the issue at hand?

I disagree with the Pastor's tactics (he is a fool).......and I also stand by my stance that the verse is not "being taken out of context".

All we are all saying is show us where the context changes the meaning, nothing more.

We (and you) both know you can not. We just admit it.

Islam IS the epitome of an evil religion, this pastor aside. Unless you can show from the Quran and history both otherwise.

Who said every use of religious quotes must be an attempt to proselytize?

Religious quotes can be used to educate others to historical truth.

I can post Luther's 95 Theses, and only intend to educate (ie, present the historical facts) and not intend to proselytize.

No it's not. Truth is we are under attack from Islam, and most of our leaders are too afraid to say so. We need to educate ourselves regarding our enemy, and the only people willing to do that are the Baptists.
