She is saying that the more devout a christian, especially the protestant fundamentalists, the less tolerant of others they become who are less devout, or of non-christians.
In short, they suffer from the sin of pride...
I have been seeing this even in the catholic church. Humility seems to be lacking in modern day devotion.

Christians enslaved, killed, tortured, dehumanized millions of African in America for roughly over 350 years. What do you have to say in defense of these actions? | |

I suppose my point was that I have a hard time reconciling the general content and tone of your previous posts with: Quote:

Jesus said to him, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment.
The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."
So the greatest of the commandments would be complete devotion to god the father. The second would be loving your enemies and neighbors alike.
.........
As for your first question, I don’t quite understand what purpose it serves. Please explain to me and I will do my best answering it. | I would still be interested in your Deuteronomy interpretation.

Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, would be the first person to be against all these actions. What they did goes against his very teachings and the essence of his message.
Just by reading the Gospel according to Matthew chapter 5, you'll find a lot of verses speakings against these acts.
For example: Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. (7-9) "You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.'But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. (21-22) "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you (43-44)
I think the above passages prove to everyone that enslaving, killing, torturing and dehumanizing people was never a part of Christ's message, peace be upon him.

You people want to defend Mohammed? Then please tell me what you think of the following: Muhammad had intercourse with a 9 year old girl. a 50 year old man!!! having intercourse with a 9 year old girl……
in about 623 AC Muhammad married Aisha who was a 7 year old girl, two years after the marriage the nine year old girl would leave her parents house and go to live with her husband?!?!?!?!?!
I just cant comprehend the thought of a 50 year old man having intercourse with a 9 year old girl………
Please help me understand this picture, or tell me I am wrong!

Please stop saying YOU PEOPLE. It's rude. Probably why no one wants to really talk to you.

Why do Xtians create groups like the KKK and Hitler?
Why are Muzzies still killing Xtians today?
Why can't we all just get along and laugh at Hollywood? | |

I don't know if you had chance to read this thread..... I'd be interested in your thoughts on the British Doumentary that Lecter posted.
thanks Quote:

This is a documentary that was shown on British TV. It's about how Jesus is according to Islam.
Enjoy  |
