Try and keep the scaremongering down FD. The poll just said that the colonists in the occupied territories should leave - if they want to come back to a sovereign Palestine, then why shouldn't they be treated like any other foreigners? Your argument IS relevant to the refugees (Jewish, Muslim and Ch...

I'm asking you what the African Priests are doing wrong according to the Bible - because you offered to tell us what the 'correct' way of conducting witch trials are. Thus far the only thing you seem to be coming up with is that the African Christians are more true to the Bible than you - in that th...

shafique

So, you believe that redneck references justify you holding racist views against fellow Christians from Africa.

What a weird logic you have.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

So, what are the Christian Priests in Africa doing wrong then? They are carrying out exorcisms and some are also carrying out the Biblical punishment for witches. Please be specific - otherwise it appears you're just embarrassed with what the Bible says should be done to Witches and that it appears ...

So, do you believe that hell is eternal or not - given that the Bible quotes above? If you do believe it is eternal - then why should your belief that Islam teaches this belief (which I don't believe Islam teaches) cause you any problems? Are you trying to argue that you believe the Quran teaches th...

shafique

Well, you can't say I didn't give you an opportunity to take back your racist views. But it is a weird argument that you think redneck references justifies a belief that African Christian Priests are 'people' who eat humans out of superstitious beliefs. Not your most extreme belief - but right up th...

shafique

You haven't shown that the Christian Priests in Africa aren't conducting trials with witnesses. You appear to have been found out yet again - making claims that can't be backed up. So - is it just that you're embarrassed by the fact that African Christians are following the Bible when it comes to de...

shafique

So, are you embarrassed about your understanding of Hell - or do you just want to dispute that Islam teaches that Hell isn't eternal? Why don't you tell us whether your interpretation of the Quranic concept of Hell is the same as your interpretation of the Biblical concept of Hell? I'm pretty open a...

shafique

Thanks Blueshift - I understand your viewpoint, and I agree that an eternal hell as described literally in the Bible (and indeed as eh is arguing the Quran teaches) is indeed contradictory to a loving, merciful God. I'm left wondering why event horizon is so reticent to tell us what his interpretati...

shafique

Your argument IS relevant to the refugees (Jewish, Muslim and Christian) who were displaced in 1948 Not many are alive today. I agree. By the same token, the survey you quoted said that the colonies in Palestinian land occupied in 1967 should be vacated by those who weren't living in land in their ...

still waiting.

Of course, most Christians simply believe that hell is a separation from God rather than an eternal torture pit - like what is described in the Koran. Are you among these 'most' Christians? Does this not mean that 'most' Christians interpret the Biblical passages of an eternal hell - fire and brims...

Another day, another Haaretz article talking about apartheid in Israel. In this one, it states that it is already here. Israel is quickly defining the borders of the Arab autonomy and t hrough apartheid legislation it is granting the Arab minority a legal standing of enclaves with lesser rights; of ...

eh - from now on I'm just going to post explanatory posts about Islamic teachings and will not engage you in debating what you think Islam teaches. You are free to present what you have been taught. I'm pretty certain that everyone is clear now that your agenda is not for a genuine dialogue, and tha...

Let's be fair to the Daily Mail - it was explicit about how it made Mohammad the top name in England and Wales: The official list, which covers all births in 2009 in England and Wales, has Mohammed at number 16 but this does not include the many different spellings, which are all ranked separately. ...

shafique

So, in summary - Christians believe in eternal hell but interpret the hell to be something less than the horrific Biblical descriptions of Hell. Take a New Testament description already quoted: But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and ...

shafique

I agree with eh - the readers of this thread can indeed go back and read all the references posted and make up their own minds. For me, I believe the concept of an eternal hell to be one that is incompatible with a loving God. And the interpretation by some Christians that God will just annihilate s...

You're really not trying to argue that Christianity says Hell is a nice place or that a lake of fire and brimstone is somehow less descriptive than the Quranic descriptions - are you? At the end of the day, we disagree over whether Hell is eternal or not. Your view is that the Bible is correct and t...

shafique

The Quran says that 'fear of God's displeasure' should indeed be part of a believer's outlook of life. This is not to say that the motivation is not out of love - a desire to win the pleasure of God, but rather the other side of the same coin. I think this is a concept that is common to Judaism, Chr...

shafique

Repeating your arguments won't change the evidence or views already presented. As I said, to me I see no difference between the Biblical descriptions of a lake of fire and brimstone, and eternal flames etc with those of the Quran. Both portray a very unpleasant state of affairs - hellish, you might ...

shafique

This post was about an issue that Christians and Muslims have in common -so is it really necessary to manufacture points of contention?

I'm pleased you read it - but did you stop before you read Jesus' words about fearing God?

Cheers,

I keep thinking that someone will jump out and say 'pysche!! the Tea Party is a big joke - you didn't really think we were serious did you?' But the scary part is that the supporters believe in their extreme views! :shock: (As Ian Hislop summarised on last weeks 'Have I got News for you' : "the...

^TJ - you know what I'm like with stats (an occupational hazard). The Daily Mail article is accurate and is not contradicted by the other reports Chocs linked to. The DM is reporting that of the new born children in the UK, the most popular name was Oliver and 'Mohammed' was 16th most popular. Howev...

shafique

I couldn't see in your post where you address the fact that most Christians believe in an eternal hell based on the Biblical descriptions of an unending fire etc. I am encouraged that some Christians agree with the Islamic concept of a merciful God and believe that all people will be extended this m...

LOL

Christine O'Donnel is being laughed at for her beliefs. 'I am not a witch' indeed!

Why do Americans need to be told by Christine that she is not a witch?

Cheers,

In what way is a lake of fire and brimstone, and hell dwellers being subject to eternal flames any less gruesome than the Quranic descriptions of hell? Does the Biblical fire burn less hot? It certainly seems to burn longer - as it burns for an eternity. As for the eeny, meenie, miny, moe explanatio...

A simple question - but did they get more people at this rally than attended the anti-Ground Zero mosque rally on 9/11?

The recent bomb plot from Yemen was foiled solely because of a tip off by a Saudi Muslim who decided to turn himself in and reveal the plot. So, was he being a bad Muslim or a good Muslim by having a change of heart and revealing the "great printer bomb plot"? Most people would point to th...
