Christian Tolerance?

[mcorton]

Sometimes, I'll PM a fellow Christian to tame themselves more. It might be a good idea to bring Yaqub up to speed via PM's. With a little less aggressive offense and a strong defense, he could make his points with them same dignity you do. He has it in him, but by introducing himself the way he did, he sort of set himself up.


During the past year I have tried and tried again to discover what it is about Christianity that allows such as those who have no regard for Godliness. Time after time my attempts at civility were thrown in my face in contemptuous manner. Today, I visited this forum and the first thing I saw was the bit about ours not being the God of Abraham. Here it was again. Always with a reason which defies logic. It was too much for me.

It seems like you're expecting us to renounce our faith and immediately agree with you.

Should I give up trying to understand these people who throw so many rocks in the name of God? No. That would not be right. I had abandoned the former gentle manner which is my normal style for a more direct one hoping to gain a better understanding. But no. There is none to be had.

You only seem to be concentrating on the ones you feel are insulting your beliefs. To understand where we come from you need to look at our beliefs as a whole and not concentrate only on what you disagree with. I believe in my heart that you are here because the Spirit has called you to learn the truth. I personally will be praying for you in your journey to seek the truth.

Assalamu to you brother. I shall try to be more accepting of others.

Yaqub

God Bless

Excuse me Pard, I am non-trinitarian but I believe that Jesus is Son of God and Savior of the world. I am Jesus' servant. I live for Him. I also believe that the Bible is God-inspired.

I'm confused, you said you're non-trinitarian but believe that Jesus is the son of God. Is it the Holy Spirit you don't believe in?

Are you suggesting all Muslims consider non-violence of paramount importance? All of them?

If you said some Muslims do, your point would be better received.


You're right. They don't compete. Christianity is set apart from all other religions, as we would say there is only One Truth, and Christianity is it. Christians are Brothers in Christ. While we are told to give the reason for the hope that lies within, we are not to allow other religions to blur the lines of Truth.


I hope you stick to this statement and not argue reasons why Christianity is false. This is a Christian board you've become a member of. We didn't go to a Muslim board and make arguments to undermine your faith. You came to ours. While people of other faiths are welcome to join in on our conversations, this IS a Christian board. We're having discussions based on our Christian faith with each other, so I don't believe we're going out of our way to undermine yours.

If you can constructively share your point of view, we'll be happy to engage in conversation with you.

By the way, welcome to Christianforums.net!

Friends, Every faith in God has a list of heresies and false doctrines that believers state is incompatible with their God. Each Christian denomination has a different list of heresies.
So in some sense every Christian is an "atheist". No Christian believes in Allah, or in Judaism, or in Mormonism, or Jehovah's Witnesses, or Seventh-Day Adventism, or Unitarian-Universalism, or whatever else is outside of mainstream Christianity as you say. Mainstream Christianity is Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Old Catholic, Roman Catholic, Anglican-Episcopalian, Protestant (Lutheran, Presbyterian, Methodist), etc.
