Correction for G Marcus

Submitted by Dillah (United States), Nov 27, 2009 at 06:25

G Marcus....you say:

"Christian or Jewish societies may have conducted Holy Wars or been governed by religious laws in history, but have now reformed to eliminate them in favor of Western principles."

As a Christian I Object to that statement!

The New Testament is made up of a collection of the letters of the Apostles of Christ - His eye-witnesses.

The Bible was finally distributed throughout society when the printing press was invented sometime during the mid? 1400's.

From that time forth - it is ignorant to blame Christainity (True Christainity) for wars (excluding the right to self-defense Exd 22:2) and this is important because Islam declared war by their Koran.

It is ignorance for this world to accuse true Christianity of bloodshed.

True Christians obey the laws taught in the New Testament...which are:

Rom 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Greatest piece of Wisdom ever given to mankind.

Beyond that Holy Command G Marcus, there are no other Commands in Christianity.

No New Testament Scriptures (the sole Supreme Authotity of all of true Christianity) exist where humans are taught to be violent with each other. Not one.

You (along with so many others) may think these facts are not so important - but they are - ESPECIALLY when it comes to exposing Islam and the vicious teachings of their Koran.

You see, Muslims are taught to say "Christianity is no better"

...and this world has fallen for that lie.

I hope you'll bear with me here in (and see the importance of) this clarification....

because we reap what we sow.
