Love thy neighbour, but if he steals your oxen smite the B****r.

Instead he said turn the other cheek. ”

And what did his followers do, murder all the pagans in the EU, not to mentions go off on what, oh yes the Crusades. Just because you quote nicer lines, means little to how religious texts are interpreted. The Bible, Torah and Quran are no different from each other in terms of how people should go about understanding them. PS the Quran also has a lot of fluffy stuff, why don’t you post those lines up as well?

Which is what made his teaching revolutionary and timeless.

Really, have you read the rest of the Bible or is copying and pasting your only skill?

If you really wanted love and peace, you’d be a Sikh

Not that i’m an evangelist or anything. Actually, I’m a unitarian

you come across as annoying more than anything really. This thread has served its purpose now.

Fair, but also, in my book, demonstrates why Jesus was special, because he DIDN’T say

Love thy neighbour, but if he steals your oxen smite the B****r.

verse 41: 8:41 And know that whatever ye take as spoils of war, lo! a fifth thereof is for Allah, and for the messenger and for the kinsman

Pillaging! There’s one a one or two about possesing women captives etc…

Look this is all very out of context etc. But it’s there. Along with the nice peaceful stuff. Honestly. Pity about abrogation though to deal with contradictions in the quran…

Ducks for cover

When did the Taliban invade the UK?

“i mean, most of today’s current muslims ancestors were not the converted but the conquored were they not?”

Like any other faith. Christianity was not exactly pleasant for pagans, religions and beliefs come and go. Also to read the Quran in isolation of the societal and economic context of the region at that time, is just plain stupid, the same again as any other historical examination.

Oh dear, not this again.

Tell you what, Natty, line me up (Celtic heritage) against say, a Persian and an Ayrian from North India. Tenner says you won’t be able to tell the difference in our skin colours or eye colours.

Sahil, the Taliban, for starters.

surely this is why it was such an effective handbook for world domination? i mean, most of today’s current muslims ancestors were not the converted but the conquored were they not?

Because Christ was not a Law maker and if anything His message was still rooted in Mosaic law. “Thou Shalt Not Kill” is not specifically an Old Testament law, its very much universal. Although only “Thou Shalt Not Covet They Neighbour’s Ass” only applies to gay people.

Really.

Touche.

“Current media usage of the term (especially in the United States), is often synonymous with conservative Protestant Christians.”

Surely by your ignant assed ideologically based understanding of “Christian” you would be completely unable to explain how Texas has the highest number of executions. Where’s the teachings of christ? It’s not. Yes it’s effed up. But many on the Christian right live more by the old testament morals of an eye for an eye than of love and compassion!

Cossaks. Hence judaism passed through the female line.

What about African Jews? How did they become Jewish?

Weren’t they the ones that never left egypt?
