However it is a useless task. Cut one head off the monster and two grow in its place.
I don't care how useless you think it might be to discuss the subject of religious knowledge.
It's much better than tiddlywinks

Rather than blindly derive absolute literal certainty about God, heaven, hell etc, from the words in a book, you mean? I lost that in grade school.why you would rather stick to a philosophy [ belief system ] where it was "all a mystery" ?
Common God given goose sense.You must have some reason for that
That's the level of discussion you offer on these forums?It's much better than tiddlywinks
Hi Stranger.
This is not a clash of religion. If it were a Christian debating a Muslim on matters of faith or doctrine, it would run completely differently.
What this is, in a nutshell, is someone misrepresenting history to suit an ideology. Material evidence is dismissed, scholarship is dismissed, in the end the voices of antiquity are silenced, often on spurious grounds, and philosophical positions are poo-poo'ed on the basis that they're not 'common sense'.
That should be addressed to @muhammad_isa, not me, it's him who's speaking.
Yep. On the up escalator at Kings Cross station.

Again deliberate attempt to misunderstand and to mislead. Christ was obviously talking about the innocence of children. Or was he saying adults should never grow up and instead retain the minds and intellect of young children? ? That's why it's so ridiculous when a person from another religion tries using NT quotes to back his attacks on Christians.2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
- Matthew 18 -
It figures that would be your wise choice -- since you have no position, no ammunition, and no knowledge of the subject ... wiki here I come@Thomas post #475
I've already said that I don't see any point in scrapping over what might be just a diversion from the said wars
that were going on.
Today?Perhaps it's time you answered for yourself Thomas.
..Christ was obviously talking about the innocence of children. Or was he saying adults should retain the minds and intellect of young children?
Theos esti agape (1 John 4:8) God is love.
Such as that a third of the world population are going to hell because they don't believe the same thing you do? Also their parents and children and ancestors and future generations?.but burying one's head in the sand, and ignoring the lllogicality of some religious dogma is also ridiculous, imo.

I can live with the English, but agape is to Love as Logos is to Word.
Ask me tomorrow ... different answer.
You said you loved me and you'd always be mine
(I'm in pieces, bits and pieces)
We'd be together till the end of time
(I'm in pieces, bits and pieces)
Now you say it was just a game
(I'm in pieces, bits and pieces)
But all you're doin' is leavin' me pain
Our souls are more than "bits and pieces" .. it's not a game.
It never has been a game for me, so this must be for someone else. One who gives sacrifice must be willing to go deeper than the wounds he causes. He's got to make everything right, no matter what it takes. It's all or nothing.
What about these 21st Century Muslims?really beats me why these early Christians, who more or less believed the same thing,
hated each other so much.

Mmm. Would seem to be more relevantwas just about to mention that
