In the context, "accept" and "decide" do mean the same thing. I don't decide anything. The question of if they're Christians or not is not up to me, it's up to God. The difference is that I look to what God says, you look to the person.
WOW..so does this god of yours look at what is supposedly said, or does this god look at the person???????
glad they are fighting back you can only turn so many cheeks

Islam could be decent if it allowed reform and free thought. It does not, and is not. It is a group of scum-sucking violent *******s who rape women and kill men, especially those who would never raise a hand against them.
The US has been blamed for the Islam hatred. Surely we have done terrible things to them, right? Wrong. We have been in wars with them. But during peace time, we send food, medicine, clothing. Money. We have sent billions of dollars to help this region. We are in national debt because of this. It all gets taken by the state before it can reach the common people. Does the state buy more food or clothing or set up education systems? Build houses? No. They buy more weapons, and kill more people, including their own citizens. Honestly, if we gave them what we deserved, it would be a giant "screw them", lock them all up on a remote island like Pitcairn and take away all wood they could use to escape. But we've given them far better. And they have abused this gift, and blamed us for their own stupid issues.
If even 5 Muslims learned modern farming, this region could be a land flowing with milk and honey. It is not our fault you guys aren't productive. It's this entitlement culture of yours. We aren't taking your wealth. Your backwards culture is.
You guys take the template of the world... apply all of it to God's people... and when it doesn't work, you supply plenty of accusations and blame and fear. The template of the world will never fully work for the people of God.
The world hates Jesus Christ - and if they hate him, they will hate us as well. People in this forum hate Christ. You can see who some of the accusers are in this thread.
Matthew 24:9 - Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.
There will always be times of suffering and persecution for those in the family of God.

I have NEVER been attacked in public or anyplace where I have gone and "shared" the God I know...I think the problem is that so many evangelical's suffer from persecution complex OR it is their jesus that hates the world?

Did Jesus say PETER, ROUND UP THE TROOPS, THERE'S GONNA BE SOME KILLIN' GOING ON...
NOT..Jesus said PUT AWAY THAT SWORD--I HAVE ANGELS AT MY CALL AND CAN ANNIHILATE THIS ENTIRE MEASLY HUMAN WORLD IN ONE WORD__INSTEAD I WILL NOT FIGHT FOR IT IS GOD'D WILL...
I think some people confuse following and trusting in GOD with the innate desire to LIVE...what did Paulie say about dying?? That is was better to be with the Lord....yada yada yada..
Yet evangelicals REFUSE to accept God's will at every turn and try to impose their interpretation of what they WANT God's will to be instead...
Time to LET GO and LET GOD....
