Science moves closer to biblical creation.

The Catholic Church and the Anglican Church were responsible for driving the true church out of Europe and later out of England. Don't confuse the great false churches of history with the true church.

Read Revelation 12.

The woman in Revelation 12 probably symbolizes the Christian refugees.

Long live King Arwald!

 

[Woodznutz]

Ah. You have employed the "the true church'' argument. That's along the lines of ''the true Scotsman'' argument, right?

Actually it is. No true Christian would torture and kill anyone.

 

[surada]

Actually it is. Where in the Bible is the Christian church instructed to torture and kill 'infidels'?

Infidels? You mean pagans? Christians, Jews and Muslims are not infidels.

 

[Woodznutz]

You don't know anything about Islam. What is wrong with you?

Why would you say that?

 

[surada]

Why would you say that?

You don't even know what an infidel is..

 

[surada]

Long live King Arwald!

The last pagan king of the Isle of Wite or Wight?

 

[Woodznutz]

Infidels? You mean pagans? Christians, Jews and Muslims are not infidels.

I put semi-quotes around the term to cover those meanings.

What on earth has Islam to do with Iranian patriotism? Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if a few teenagers in Dixie had been killed for singing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic". Especially if they were uppity.

The kids were protesting Islamic dress codes. They were dragged into the street and made to sing a patriotic song. A 15-year-old refused and was beaten to death.

The true church that was hounded

The kids were protesting Islamic dress codes.

What is happening in Iran is not Islamic.

 

[Woodznutz]

Correct. There's also nothing in genesis about all of humanity being condemned for an act of fruit theft, right?

God pronounced a judgment on us that remains to this day.

God pronounced a judgment on us that remains to this day.

Original sin wasn't doctrine until the 3rd century. Neither Muslims nor Jews believe in original sin.

 

[Woodznutz]

You don't even know what an infidel is..

Please.
Infidel (literally: unfaithful) is just the Islamic term for unbeliever, heathen.

What does it mean to be an infidel?
The definition of an infidel is a person who you consider a heathen because he does not adhere to the religion you believe is the true religion. When someone does not conform to your religious beliefs, this is an example of someone you might consider an infidel. One who does not believe in a certain principle.

 

[Woodznutz]

Original sin wasn't doctrine until the 3rd century. Neither Muslims nor Jews believe in original sin.

Regardless. We still have to toil for our existence, women (mostly) subject themselves to their husbands, and we are a mixture of good and evil.

 

[Woodznutz]

What is happening in Iran is not Islamic.

I don't know what you mean by that, but it sure as hell isn't Christian.

 

[Woodznutz]

You've pretty much worked out the abuses of Christianity? When did ''forgive and forget'' become part of the hymnals?

Not sure what you mean here.

 

[Woodznutz]

The woman in Revelation 12 probably symbolizes the Christian refugees.

Those refugees were part of the true church, persecuted by the false church.

 

[Grumblenuts]

Those refugees were part of the true church, persecuted by the false church.

Which group swore "God" was on their side and quoted Bible verses to prove that they were the only true Scotsmen?

 

[Grumblenuts]

The last pagan king of the Isle of Wite or Wight?

You got that Wight!

 

[Hollie]

God pronounced a judgment on us that remains to this day.

Actually, no. Any claimed pronouncement by your god distills to nothing more than pronouncements by men who wrote the Bible.

 

[Grumblenuts]

God pronounced a judgment on us that remains to this day.

Two can play that game. Any day.
