No. But if they wish to discount my beliefs, I ignore them.

Otherwise........be known for the liar that you are.
Best description of my belief system? A Christian Taoist who studies Judaic Theology...
...You should have around 3 different theologies that you follow, because that way, it's easier to find God via triangulation (spiritually).
I also like what His Holiness The Dali Lama said once when asked how many different theologies there should be?
His response was to say that there should be as many religions as there are people on the face of this earth, because, we all understand God in a slightly different way than our neighbors, friends, and family.
n 1994 I met a dude named Jim who introduced me to Taoism, and that has been my basis for a belief system ever since....
Tell me again, how a pagan religion that was mixed with Christianity, can be anything OTHER than a lie?
and now for a trip down memory lane...
Pagan = non-christian religion. The Jews call them gentiles. When speaking of Islam, it is generally rendered as infidels.and now for a trip down memory lane...
I guess it depends on what ABS meant by "pagan." If he was using it to refer exclusively to folk religions like Roman/Hellenistic pantheonism, I see no contradiction.
Christians oft claim that the Old Testament law does not apply. They cite this, for instance, when confronted with a young rape victim, a disobedient child, unbelievers, or other Old Testament laws where their personal morality conflicts with God's word. However, Jesus spoke on the Authority of the Moseanic law and drew his teachings from it, oft referring (unknown to most Christians) to Moseanic texts when issuing his 'new law'.
Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law.
John 7:19
...the Scripture cannot be broken
John 10:35
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Luke 16:17
18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Matthew 5:18
16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
2 timothy 3:16
9And he said to them, "You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition!... 13thus making void the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And many such things you do."
Mark 7
Even Jesus' 'turn the other cheek'- a direct contradiction of the 'eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth' is taken from Leviticus 19:18. Remember that there is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9-14). The same sentiment is expressed in Psalm 15.
This continues throughout the NT. The railings against sexual immorality in 1 Corinthians 5 is based upon the teachings of Deuteronomy 22 and Leviticus 18.
The laws regarding testimony of witnesses described in Deuteronomy17:6 are cited in John 8:17-18 and Matthew 18:16
John 7:23 raises the interesting point that circumcision (an Old Testament law based around the Old Covenant) is apparently recognized, yet the Sabbath is not. Matthew 12:5 attempts to reconcile this by- you guessed it- referring to the laws given to Moses.
Jesus' two laws 'on which the laws of the prophets rest' is not a new teaching at all, but merely an emphasis on what is said in Micah 6:8 and Deut 6:4-5.
In Matthew 19:16-30, Jesus is quoted as citing the Moseanic law yet again abd sayiong that we are not excused from following the Law of God, but rather that he adds to it. This is also one of the passages in which he renounces materialism and commands all true believers to live as traveling prophets, rejecting material wealth in favor of the riches of the kingdom of heaven
21Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."...
28Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother[c] or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. 30But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.
Well, this should serve as a brief introduction to get ya thinking...

God's Law In New Testament Moral JudgmentsOne cannot escape the authoritative use of the Old Testament law in New Testament moral judgments. Upon reflection, one should recognize that such a use teaches the full validity of God's law today. Invalid rules might be used in fallacious moral judgments, but not in inspired ones.
You were talking about mixing christianity with other religions- the very thing you claim to do yourselfOut of context douchebag. I was talking about how Rome had taken the theology of Israel and turned it pagan..

say the exact same thing? So Toa says to mutilate your sons genitals and kill all non-jews?
Damn, you're fucking stupid
I'd be interested in seeing a Christian provide some sort of explanation or justification for these verses.
How about one of those Christians who has attempted to criticize Qur'anic passages that aren't nearly as deplorable as these?

I was under the impression that the books of Moses were considered to be the Word of God in the Islamic faith. Not just the Qur'an.
Perhaps an explanation would be worthwhile, but, The Word of God requires no justification.

The Torah and the Gospels have been corrupted by man and, in their present form, are not legitimate sources of guidance for Muslims.
So, what is it that makes the Korn-Ham more legit than the Gospels or the Torah?
