Are you against Christian Sharia Law?

The problem as I see it is your definition of "hate and bitterness".

Or your definition is incorrect.

Renaldo Dubois wrote:

It is not hate and bitterness to expose evil and shine a light on it.

Perhaps there are simply evil Christians, and light is being put to them. Now they want to hide among kind and decent Christians and pretend the whole lot is being conspired against.

Renaldo Dubois wrote:

That is what Christians are told to do. That is what Jesus did.

I do recall that Jesus did get angry and cast light onto the religious. Why are you so afraid of that light, RD?

Renaldo Dubois wrote:

The fact you put the spotlight on me instead of the issues reveals that you have very little knowledge, if any, of Christianity or Sharia Law.

Or the light finds you well.

I am speaking of Islam and Sharia Law. This is the discussion. Stick to it if you can.

So you oppose the Muslim effort to put into ban homosexuality, abortion, and pornography? You won't accept strict drug laws or laws that only allow sex only within the confines of marriage?

You oppose this because you don't think these laws are just, or because you find them just but would prefer them to be under the banner of Christianity?

Which is it?

Islam is evil in my opinion and I am prepared to prove that point.

You're prepared to prove your opinion?

The Christian church is told to expose the darkness with light. That's what I am doing.

What church? Specifically. There are many. Also, what about the darkness that exists in the church?

If you can't participate by defending your thread, then focusing on me is not gonna cut it.

You've offered yourself up as the perfect case example of the hypocrisy involved with the irrational hatred of Muslims. Addressing you is actually pretty to the point.

I asked if any Christians worship Allah.

All Christians worship Allah.

Allah is simply the word in Arabic for God. Christians in Egypt use the word Allah, the same way that Christians who speak Spanish use the word Dios and Christians who speak French use the word Diuex and Christians who speak English use the word God.

I met Christians from Egypt. They worship Allah the same way that you do.

Then you must not know how to read, bubby--because that is the title of this thread, not your hateful religious intolerant, bigoted, and downright un American attack on Islam.

Well, perhaps tomorrow, on Pentecost (or the following day, on Pentecost Monday), RD might sing the Veni, Creator Spiritus, ... and get some understanding?

@maxdancona,

Yes, this is my point. Moreover, the words god, dios, allah, diuex, etc are not names at all.

Zeus is a name.
Yahweh (and it's mispronunciation Jehova) is a name.
Elohim is a title for a god among gods.

Jesus isn't even the proper name! This has always been a weird thing for me. "Jesus" is Greek name for the Hebrew name Yahshua (and it's more commonly recognizable name "Joshua").

I'm frequently amused by the degree of separation people have. Non-Greek people calling out for a man who was not Greek in a Greek name he would never have been addressed by in his life. The same people like to talk about "knowing" god.

I've bought a lawn-mower from Jesus this spring, and he's doing the service as as well, even free of charge during the first two years!

I really like the free two years service - it even includes the oil change.
(His standard saying, btw, when something can't be done the same minute, is: "I'm Jesus. But not a wizard.")

@failures art,

Yes, mine is correct.

@failures art,

No, I do not want to ban homosexuality, abortion and pornography. They are perfectly legal in the USA.

Like I keep saying, you and your pals do not know anything about Christianity or Islam.

"God" is not God's name. God is a title. You don't even know what God's name is.

Allah is not God's name is Arabic. God is not God's name, it's a title. The Jews were not even allowed to speak it and you dont' know what it is.

Well, I'd thought it was so in English, since that's a Germanic language like my native German.

Correct, RD - it really should be "Allāh" (transcripted) in Arabic.

Not really correct this time

Quote:

The name’s origin can be traced back to the earliest Semitic writings in which the word for “god” was Il or El, the latter being an Old Testament synonym for Yahweh. Allāh is the standard Arabic word for “God” and is also used by Arab Christians as well as by Muslims.

Now you're catching on!

However, if you were a more thorough reader, you'd see that this has been established several posts ago. When you catch up, you might enjoy the conversation.

@failures art,

What you consider "established" is where we disagree.

Consider this. Would you rather be a homosexual in the USA or Iran?
