Or let people see how Muslims behave today (ISIS as an example)... Forgot 9/11 already?? and read the history and life of Muhammad and compare it with Jesus.
Nice dodge. This person above clearly would rather reject a proper historical analysis in favor of conspiracy websites and islamophobic writing because it fits their preconceived notions of what Islam is.
Christianity itself = peace, love and forgiveness. Forget about Westboro Baptist "church"... Read the New Testament and Gospels of Christ instead.
And what about those Seventh Day Adventists? What about Mormons? What about the Episcopalians? The Methodists? Who decides which church is the true church, which teachings are the true teachings? The fact that you would disavow others who call themselves Christian doesn't strike me as terribly Christian, either. Disavowal is the opposite of peace, love, forgiveness and tolerance. Disavowal is arrogance and judgment. Not very Christian.

And if a Christian mother kills her five children because the angel Gabriel told her to, we should paint all Christian mothers as potential killers?
Because using the example of Islamic extremists to paint all Muslims as jihadists and murderers is the same kind of logic.
However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)
Thanks for that. At least now we know the position of the overwhelming majority of the Islamic community (based on their silence) with regards to Al Qaeda/ISIS and their tactics.
You can't defend your faith so you bring up someone else's.
Didn't Jesus...who is God, which means omnipotence and all knowing...know that his faith (that he didn't even invent) would be used after his death to justify slavery?
The answer would have to be 'yes.' And yet, he's neutral on slavery. Why didn't he explicitly condemn it?
You can't explain this. Sorry, but it's a white man's religion used to justify slavery and subjugation despite its more modern and moderate face. And the moderation has nothing to do with the religion itself, but the Enlightenment and advances in sciences and humanities.
But I ain't buying it. I believe people are what they say they are.
Here come the excuses.
"Slaves under Mosaic law blah, blah, blah...
You're coming up REAL lame.
Lol....you're mad. I can understand why.
Mad? Not at all...just fascinated by the perspicacity of your posts. Really!

There you go again. What do you mean by "white man's" religion?
