An anecdote. My Muslim co-worker / friend told me that “Allah has no son.” (Standard Islamic theology.) I agreed with him, but before I can say it he asked me, “Can you show me anywhere in the Bible where someone besides Jesus is called the son of God?” (He doesn’t think that I can.) “Yes,” I...

So, anyway … * Nod to John Cleese * ”Jesus obviously lied … We must admit deception is an important tool in war and there is a spiritual war.” The words of a Muslim? No. The words of a member who is registered here as “Christian”. No Christian should ever say such a thing about Jesus, nor...

An update. Two of the three malefactors repeated their slander on the forum yesterday. For the love of God, don’t stop them. Place my posts next to theirs. Compare and contrast what I say with what they say. That’s all that I ask.

A well-prepared Muslim apologist has. A well-prepared Christian apologist will too. My Muslim co-worker / friend is just such an apologist. He “hit me” with it early in our conversations. Don’t hold me to it, but I think it was the third time that we sat down to discuss Islam. I was prepared...

* Knock, knock. * ”Who’s there?” ”My name is Matthias. I’m a follower of Jesus.” “What do you want?” ”I want to speak with people who approve of killing Christians.” ”Please come in.” “Thank you for receiving me. Do you approve of killing Christians?” ”Yes.” “Are you a Muslim?” “No. My...

But what about the followers of Jesus who weren’t “armed, ready to kill”? Jesus wasn’t “armed, ready to kill.” The apostles weren’t “armed, ready to kill.” ”You are not following Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill” … is a lie. (Emanating from the same lying spirit which urges us to...

The nation of Israel, a message to Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, Son of the God of Israel -> “Go away. You are not the Messiah. We don’t want you. We don’t need you. You weren’t sent by the God of Israel. You are a deceiver.” The nation of Israel is living on borrowed time @rockytopva. It...

If I were a gambling man, I’d wager that you’ve asked me that question before and I’ve answered it. Israel isn’t following the teaching of Jesus and the apostles concerning how the followers of Jesus are to treat their enemies. The government of Israel doesn’t love its enemies and the...

The Bloody Theater That’s an outstanding title. It honors the men, women and children who followed the teaching and example of Jesus and the apostles in response to the attacks of their enemies. ”You are not following Jesus if you aren’t armed, ready to kill.” - demons ”Cowards; man in form...

From Christian sources - A few among many. Also from non-Christian sources. But if Christian sources won’t persuade Christians, an appeal to non-Christian sources isn’t going to persuade them.

You entered in the middle of the movie. You should watch it from the beginning and then come back, if you decide to continue. I hope that you will.

The defenders of the Crusades. You do know the crusaders killed Muslims, Jews and Christians, don’t you? The defenders of Christian nationalism. You do know that Christians living in one nation have killed Christians living in other nations, don’t you? The weapons, the apostle said, that...

I govern inside the church as a pastor (though I’m now retired), just as Paul had in mind and instructed the folliwers of Jesus. I’m not hiding and I’n standing on the same rock that the apostles stand on.

He hasn’t called anyone to kill Christians or non-Christians. Killing Christians and / ir non-Christians isn’t on the apostle’s list. Listen again with me to that same apostle - “We do not use the weapons of the world.” He speaks for Jesus.

You would lose that bet. How do I know that? @Wrangler believes that they were all armed, ready to kill. He’s wrong. I think you know that; otherwise you probably wouldn’t bet “if they coulda they woulda”.

It isn’t gone. I’m a 1st century Christian living in the 21st century. When you see and hear me, you should see and hear Jesus (and the apostles) in me. If I don’t see and hear that in someone, I’m seeing a person who either isn’t a mature Christian or isn’t a Christian at all. At all times...

If we’re following Jesus and the apostles, then we’re teaching what they taught and doing as they did.

The apostles have a king. I have a king. No matter where I might live in the world, my allegiance is to that king. The fool has said in his or her heart, “There is no God”.” I believe that. If I had to guess I would guess that you believe it too. I also believe it’s a fool who says in his or...
