Hi GodspromisesRyes, Not sure if you intended to say 'gentiles by bloodline who are children of abraham by faith' or whether this was a typo and you intended 'gentiles who are children of abraham by faith' ? I have been arguing for gentiles being children of Abraham by promise/faith but not...

Hi all, Now with Abraham descendants were all important -- his wife wanted children but couldn't have any - so she devised a surrogate slave woman Hagar to bear Abraham a son Ishmael. Later a son was promised to Abraham and Sarah gave birth to Isaac. Paul takes up the discourse in talking...

Hi, I would see 'salafism/Wahabism' as one threat based on your discription. In Australia the small Islamic minority doesn't not have the numbers that are found in countries of Europe like to England, France, Holland or Germany. What is happening in Europe is being watched closely by...

Hi MM, According to whom? According to the process you describe: You then go on to describe what happens if someone disagrees etc. How is this not the very essence of private interpretation? We both know how common it is to hear - 'our beliefs are biblical and the Holy Spirit teaches us...

Hi bennyboy, The need is to to interpret scripture - as well as what is happening in the present day and age. While it is popular to think that prophets only predict the future - and bring new revelation - what is overlooked is that the scriptures can be read and interpreted prophetically...

Mysteryman wrote: I can't see how this isn't the very essence of private interpretation? Yet you seem to speak against private interpretation frequently. How would you respond to this: Is what you teach consistent with what Christians have always believed?

Mujahid Abdullah It is the Islamic interpretation of 'Judiasm and Christianity' that is the problem for Christians. In the other post I spoke of an apostolic faith. It is the lack of conformity to an apostolic faith that is the problem Christians face internally within the Church. The...

Mujahid Abdullah My view of the Christian faith is this: there is only one apostolic faith! To the degree that my faith is consistent with this faith it is true faith, and where it is not in agreement with this apsotolic faith - my faith is misguided and false. I would say that there is no...

Mujahid Abdullah wrote: Hi Mujahid, Romans 1:18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness... Don't believe the people who are filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of...

GodspromisesRyes wrote: Hi GodspromisesRyes, Thanks for the reply. I'm starting to see the differences in our respective approaches a little more clearly. I agree that we are children of Abraham - but as a Messianic Jew once pointed out to me - there are children of Abraham by promise...

Hi Mujahid, Interesting - its like they used to say: God, King and country first. I'm not a pacificist nor follow buddist philosophy - Jesus taught us to love our enemies. Now if I was in the army in a war, I would follow orders provided that they were within the Geneva convention. From...

Hi Mujahid, Good idea to move on. Now Christianity can be summarised by two commands: to love God and to love our neighbours. Since Mohummed was not God why does your professed love for Mohummed exceed what I regard as love for our neighbour? take care

Hi Westtexas, Have you come across alternative renderings of the apostles creed?

Hi Mujahid, Ok, good. Incidentally, I was born in Europe - and now live in the land down under. What I don't understand is the pain in your heart? What causes the pain?

Hi Mujahid, Some cultural differences here Mujahid - I was defending a basic human right called freedom of speech whether it is francisdesales speaking, or Mujahid. The content of what is said is not the issue! Let me spell it out as clearly as possible. Even if I don't agree with what...
