Ron 7 #53 July 7, 2005 It would be interesting to compare the principle teachings of Jesus & Muhammad. [e.g. Muhammad killed, advocated killing, and came about as a warrior; Jesus came from lowly beginnings, lived sinless and only advocated peace.) I’m talking about the principals of the religions, not what people have done with them (right or wrong). Quote Jesus came in peace? Quote"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." (Matthew 10:34) "I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division." (Luke 12:49-51) Fact is almost ALL religions teach violence. In todays world only the nutbags seem to actually do it...(Some say that only the nutbags back then did it as well)."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Thunderbow 1 #54 July 7, 2005 QuoteSome still do...Those that claim they are killing Abortion Dr's in the name of "God". -----HOW MANY HAVE DONE THIS (not that it is right)?

pajarito 0 #56 July 7, 2005 QuoteJesus came in peace? "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." (Matthew 10:34) He did in fact come in peace and lived a life based on that but the truth of his “message” brought opposition, division, and persecution. It was predicted by him. Context is everything Ron. Quote"I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division." (Luke 12:49-51) This second quote is a rehash of the first. Same meaning. QuoteFact is almost ALL religions teach violence. In todays world only the nutbags seem to actually do it...(Some say that only the nutbags back then did it as well). Jesus never taught violence. Your quotes are misinterpreted.

EricTheRed 0 #57 July 7, 2005 QuoteFor what this is worth... In Saudi Arabia: 1) During prayer time, if you are caught walking the street you go to jail. 2) If a non-Muslim goes to a "chop-chop" square (where they do beheadings), the crowd will force you right up to the executioner so that you get blood on you. Pretty extreme stuff, and they're trying to export this religion. I still don't understand why we aren't going after the money instead of the small guys with guns in their hands. Because the guys with the $$ also have our oil buried in their desert.illegible usually Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steel 0 #58 July 7, 2005 QuoteQuoteThe Catholic Church had its Crusades. The Muslims are in the midst of their Crusades right now. In another few years/decades they'll stop it, too. The catholic church had a little thing called the Spanish Inquisition (actually, it was world wide but the Spaniard's had a certain flair for it that made them memorable) that ran from 1478-1834. It was the church's official policy to torture people until they swore to accept the holy church and murder those that would not. While three and a half centuries could be termed a "few decades" it seems a bit of a stretch. jen The Crusades lasted for over 100 years but look who cares. Here, read about the history of Jerusalem and realize to attack the Crusades as if they were the Evil group of history is absurd http://www.centuryone.com/hstjrslm.html.If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass.

The handful of times (even though it is still too many) this has happened is a flyspeck in the you know what compared to the deaths inflicted in the name of Islam. Quote Are you counting the innocent people we have killed by mistake? Or the people we killed as collateral damage? Just because our armed forces or bombs don’t scream Jesus saves as they kill people doesn’t make it any less painful for the people who have lost loved ones because of our actions. Unless you value American lives more then you do other lives then your not counting correctly? I value all life the same. I’ll let someone else come up with the civilians we have killed just in Iraq. If I say a number I am sure it will be challenged. So I will let someone else give you the number. Maybe that will give an idea of who has killed more people.I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites billvon 2,406 #62 July 7, 2005 >Just because our armed forces or bombs don’t scream Jesus saves > as they kill people doesn’t make it any less painful for the people > who have lost loved ones because of our actions.

(Matthew 10:34) Context… Look at what you’re saying versus what you’re quoting. You’re saying “come in peace.” The Scripture says “come to send peace.” He’s talking about his message. Sword is in reference to “the truth”, “the word”, the “path to righteousness.” Like I said before, he was predicting that his message would bring about opposition, division, & persecution. What he correct? I think so. Quoteanywhoo...Not that it really matters to me... Most religions have violence in their "books". It was way of life. Today only the nutters follow it. I agree. The Bible is also a history book full of violence. However, your quotes from the Old Testament are simply laws of the Nation of Israel and not necessarily God’s law. I agree that “only the nutters” would pick a verse out of the Old Testament containing a civil law of a particular nation, claim that it is God’s law, and use it to justify some violent action on their part.
