I encourage you to think in broader terms than the USA. Here in Australia we vote for a federal election in one week from today. There has been a double dissolution of both houses of parliament, the House of Representatives and the Senate. Here, there are Christian candidates that I can vote...

kepha31, No, society makes abortion a crime or decriminalises abortion. However, human beings agree to kill unborn human life (children). Who decides that killing human beings is wrong? God does. It was he who provided the laws against killing: 'You shall not murder' (Ex 20:13 ESV; Matt 5:21...

Acadia, It's great having you join us. In which part of God's world do you live? Oz

Marie, Welcome on board from another member from Down Under. G'day to you from Brissy (Brisbane). Blessings, Oz

Coti, I speak as a marriage and family counsellor of 34 years. You have biblical reasons for divorce because you stated he committed adultery (see Matt 19:3-12 ESV). For practical and mental health reasons you need to protect yourself from his physical, verbal and emotional abuse of you. This...

Thanks, David. However, we must remember to share Christ with unbelievers in love. Truth in love are a dynamic combination. Ephesians 4:14-16 (NLT) makes this clear in a Christian context: The theme of this thread regards where Muhammad Ali is after death. This applies to all Muslims and...

And you tell your neighbour the truth (Exodus 20:16).

Tiny, Yes, 'Truth Challenge' is my homepage. There are 513 articles of varying length and on a wide range of topics on the website. Muslims can't be 'our little brother and sisters' because Allah did not have a Son and Islam is non-Trinitarian. They worship a different God. It is our job to...

I do have my facts straight. They are directly from the Quran: At its core Islam promotes violence to unbelievers. This is the violent nature of Islam according to the Quran: Quran 4:76 [Yusuf Ali translation], ‘Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject Faith Fight...

'War mongering attitude' drove him away from Christianity, you say. So did it drive him into the arms of a warmongering Islam that is as war hungry as in Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and wherever ISIL is operating?

Tiny, This is a CORE difference between Islam and Christianity. Who is the Muslim Jesus (Asa)? I agree we need to love Muslims and appreciate their devotion to their religion. Yes, pray for Muslims during Ramadan. Let's look at a few statements from the Quran regarding Jesus. This is an...

Are you saying 'flesh and blood' are not physical elements? That's a new one on me! :wub: For 1 Cor 15:50 (which Stan quoted), the Greek language uses sarx kai haima, which is 'flesh and blood' and NOT 'flesh and bone'. Oz

How will you explain that to the Muslim in your community and mine who is supporting Ramadan this month?

Wormwood, You wrote: I don't agree with all of these comments but some of them sure make sense in my part of the world as well as yours (I've lived for 7 years in North America). Imagine what would happen if our church buildings that are vacant for a large chunk of the week, became a place...

If you said that to a Muslim in my suburb, you would be spoken to harshly, 'How dare you blaspheme Islam's prophet'. How do you know that the one who wrote the Koran is not the messenger of God? How will you demonstrate that to a Muslim? Oz

David, You wrote: These are your assertions. You have not provided evidence that Muhammad contradicted Scripture or downgraded the Son of God to a prophet. Without evidence from the Islamic sources, these statements are only your opinions. Again, you say Jesus is the atonement for our sins...

David, What makes you think it is the truth? Today is the start of Ramadan and the news is that the devils are chained for this entire month. Why is this not the truth? Oz

Scripture, which is revealed theology, focusses on God's searching for human beings. According to Rom 1:18-32 (ESV), natural theology involves human beings searching for God through his display in nature. Since I live in a post-Christian culture, I use natural theology, whenever possible, to...

Since when was Matt 25:31-46 (ESV) a parable?

David, What causes you to reach that very judgmental decision??? :huh: Oz
