No confirmation. Why? It is where the logic of the argument you put to me leads @NayborBear. That is the result you are aiming for with it. How can you be persuaded that followers of Jesus mustn’t kill Muslims and Jews when you can’t be persuaded that Christians mustn’t kill Christians?

It looks that way to me, but it remains to be proven. The ticks are hungry and you’re what’s for dinner. That’s not what’s for dinner if you contract AGS. I like where he’s going with that. Someone out there doesn’t.

My favorite scene from The War of the Worlds - The perfect analogy for the Messiah’s way vs your way? No, but it’s close. Why isn’t it perfect? Romans 13. When it isn’t possible, it isn’t possible because of what my enemy does. What my enemy does or doesn’t do doesn’t change the way I treat...
