The Islamic terrorists who crashed their planes into the WTC, Pentagon and almost the White House or Capital were "godly men" per Islamic standards.
You want to stick with your statement?
And we don’t care where his religion comes from, we accept his faith because we have faith in him also. And we don’t force Brothers to profess one religion. We offer them the opportunity to profess where God sends them.
You throw around the use of God as if Allah is Jehovah and vice versa.
Ask your Muslim "brothers", if there are any in your organization, if that is the case.
All of our English, Spanish, French, etc translations come from the Hebrew and Greek. There are some differences in some words. While I have not read all of these the message is overall the same.
“The Islamic terrorists who crashed their planes into the WTC, Pentagon and almost the White House or Capital were “godly men” per Islamic standards.”
No, they weren’t. They were bad people hiding behind the name and misusing the religion’s history. In the Christian Bible we have many quotations concerning war. Here are a few:
Ecclesiastes 3:8 “A time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.”
Matthew 24:6 “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.”
Jeremiah 51:20 “You are my hammer and weapon of war: with you I break nations in pieces; with you I destroy kingdoms.”
Deuteronomy 20:1 “When you go out to war against your enemies, and see horses and chariots and an army larger than your own, you shall not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
Proverbs 24:6 “for by wise guidance you can wage your war, and in abundance of counselors there is victory.”
We, as Christians, still wage wars. So do they. Are we any less wrong for it than they are? I do not agree with war as it should be settled by intelligence rather than force. Wish it was. But Christians have just as much, if not more, in out history as Muslims do with the practice of war. We have learned better in most cases. But not all.
And yes, I have a few Muslims in my lodge and the Koran is on the alter. So is the Jewish, Christian, Catholic, and other Bibles. Are they all wrong because we should only consider our religion right? That’s the main principle for the creation of this land and our Constitution. And it is also the reason so many have died defending all the people’s rights.
