Matt. 18:21-22

I would assume that was something the two of you had in common....... :)

The most telling lines from the web site Winnetou uses to criticize those that do not support the homosexual lifestye: "Summed up – albeit very densely – what has happened is that latent bisexuals have fostered knowingly inaccurate translations and then indulged in selective hypocrisy, all to...

If finances are enough to destroy the foundation of your marraige, it was the softness of that foundation and not the finances that caused it.

LOL Honestly, Winnetou...."St. Johns Metropolitan Community Church?" First off, the people you are citing for Bible Translation have been shown inaccurate. If you wished to actually check and not be intentionally blind, you would know that. They interject their opinion into translations and...

-- Not necessarily. I have had my mind changed/eyes opened/perspective altered many times in conversations with other Christians. It wasn't that I was "driven and tossed about by the sea" in my opinions, but if you support your opinion with scripture, etc. it carries a lot of weight. It is...

-- What you say about Jews and Muslims is exacly correct. It is not only illegal to evangelize in Muslim countries, but I was in Saudi Arabia when Bibles were confiscated while going through customs. My thoughts were of groups that say they do "outreach" (I'm not speaking specifically about...

-- So the statement l cited is simply an acknowledgment that the Catholic church sees Muslims as lost and needing Jesus Christ as their Savior? Does the Catholic church actually reach out to Muslims and let them know that they are lost and need to accept Jesus as their savior? Because I know...

-- But the very post itself does just that.

-- If the Catholic perspective is that Muslims will be in heaven without first receiving Jesus as their Lord and Savior, then their perspective is wrong. Hopefully that is not the case.

In order for a Muslim to be saved, they would have to leave their faith or at least renounce what it believes.

-- Islam teaches that Jesus was merely a prophet and not God. Muslims do not under any circumstances believe that Jesus is Lord, let alone John 14:6. Therefore there is no way to rectify or sanction the relationship as one of acceptance. It matters not that both Catholics and Muslims believe in...

-- That is completely false. Lev. 18:22 has absolutely nothing to do with "shrine prostitution, adoring false gods, leaving the God of Israel", etc. That is covered mainly in 1Kings and 2Kings. Her it states simply, "You shall not lie with a man, as with a woman: it is abomination." Reading...

-- I believe you are correct, unfortunately.

Aspen, I assume you were trying to make another childish joke. Sorry, I couldn't dumb down far enough for it. Care to try again?

Exactly. Episkopos, "Most evangelism should be done without words..." only works to a certain point. Yes, you can love and give to charity, etc. but if those watching you have a misconception as to what you believe, then the silence does more harm than good. Also, Atheists also have the...

-- Another unsubstantiated generality used to criticize all Christians. It grows tiresome.

-- True, but God is "not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance." The Holy Spirit works in all hearts to open them up to God's message. He will bring a number of people into someone's life to - over time - bring this person to a place of reflection...

I am not too worried about my body. Once my soul heads for heaven if they want to bury me with my butt sticking out of the ground to use as a bike rack, more power to 'em. I could care less.
