Equal footing in terms of respect and acknowledging them. Not equal footing in terms of everyone thinking everyone else is equally right. Everyone thinks they are right.

A person can evangelize while totally acknowledging another person's beliefs and being respectful about them, so again I'm not sure where your seeing conflict here.

I'm not sure what your objection is here. Does Christ require you to a jerk to people of other faiths? Does acknowledging another person's choice to be Hindu threaten your devotion to Christ? Does understanding what a Jain believes somehow make your beliefs less True? My town has an...

The power of the Church is about changing hearts. It's not about grabbing news headlines or imposing political power. It's about each individual being a window to Christ.

Before we discuss "inter-faith", it is best to state your specific definition of the term, and in what context you're using it. Those definitions and contexts can vary widely after all.

Amen! Hence my stressing all this is only possibly though Christ and His sacrifice.

Vast vast majority of Christians believe "And this certainly does NOT include habitual sinning (without repentance)!". Vast vast majority of Christians believe in repentance-- or at least they say they believe this. However, there is that constant struggle to put what we say we believe into...

The sacrifice of the New Covenant is not a cow or a dove. But rather a broken spirit and a contrite heart. We come to Him, offering up all of our filthiness, and He replaces it with His wonders. Oh, what an amazing God we have!

Great posts @Zachary ! These are important points we all need to remember. Thank you for sharing.

The church is a hospital for sinners, not a resort for perfect people. I have seen lots of sinful people in church, and people doing sins in church venues/positions. I don't expect perfection remotely, or even always good behavior. That being said, I do think it is a hugely important thing...

Again, CI your information here is completely false.

Warren Jeff's twisted group is not a "division in that faith". They are their own COMPLETELY separate thing.

Praying for you. Remember: the best evangelism is not the words any of us mortals say, but the light of Christ that shines through us.

How polygamy was/is practiced has varied dramatically across different cultures. But in every one it was/is VERY different than having the legal right to commit adultery. Anyway, speaking from the LDS perspective: God's default for marriage is one man and one woman. There have been...

Oh ok, I didn't connect those dots because CI's extremely misinformed post doesn't directly connect with what you posted. Thanks for clarifying.

Why the purposeful stretch? If someone is putting their grandma higher then God, that is a problem. But if not, then there's not a problem.

Again: it's all about intent. Anything can be an idol if your worship it. But very very few things are automatically idols when there's no worshipping.

I was just wondering why you posted it. And no, I not interested in "debating" anything. I find "debating" to be almost always very un-Christ-like behavior.

Again, intent is the big thing here. Is intent to worship another thing? Or is it a picture for some other purpose?

And....?
