Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment that you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, "Let me take the speck out of your eye," when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. (Matthew 7:1-5)
I think you need to learn how to practise your own religion first before advising others Yadda. abu,
Thank you for your rebuke.
And i apologise if my 'un-Christian' MANNER [in rebuking muslims] offends you....
We Christians are told [in the Bible] to love our fellow man.
That means i [we] do not hate [muslims, or anyone else].
Christians accept that muslims are [like ourselves,] imperfect human beings, and [we hope] seekers of TRUTH.
We Christians also understand [from the Bible] that [in our pursuit of TRUTH], we [ourselves] MUST NOT EMBRACE EVIL.
....but rather we should rebuke evil.
And many Bible verses confirm that God intends that the
hatred of evil, should be a trait of the 'properly guided'.
Of course abu, different men, define 'evil' differently.
I know that devout muslims define evil differently, from how i do.
But abu, i think that in our hearts, we all know what evil is.
....evil is human vanity.
Thinking that
we are 'higher' than we are.
....higher than our brothers, and sisters.
That is evil, and it comes from an evil heart.
Proverbs 8:13
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
"......the froward mouth, do I hate."
abu, did you hear 'that mouth' on Muhammad, in the YOUTUBE clip???
Proverbs 16:6
By mercy
and truth iniquity is purged:
and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
Speaking TRUTH = = is sorta like shining a light, where some ppl do not want it shone.
Psalms 7:11
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
Psalms 5:5
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing [deceit]: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
"......will abhor the bloody and deceitful man."
I think God intends that we should all abhor
all bloody and deceitful men, not just all devout muslims.
Titus 2:15
These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
Hebrews 1:9
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Romans 12:9
Let love be without
dissimulation.
Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Hmmm....
'Dissimulation', where could we go with that!
Dictionary,
dissimulation = = hide or disguise one’s thoughts or feelings.
Hmmm....
Dissimulation,
'ISLAM is peace'
Devout muslims will tell ignorant non-muslims, that ISLAM is the religion of peace.
[and this is evil. i.e. lying, covering the truth.]
But those same devout muslims, do not reveal to the ignorant non-muslims, that muslims regard ISLAM's 'peace', as
a peace among muslims alone.
And those same devout muslims, do not reveal that all muslims regard themselves as at war, with those same ignorant non-muslims.
"KUFFAR".....
"...a person who hides, denies, or covers the truth."
When speaking to non-muslims, is there even one devout muslim who does NOT hide, deny, or cover the truth?
.....of what ISLAM is???
And why is this?
abu, you are a kuffar.
You are a person who hides, denies, or covers the truth.
Devout muslims take advantage of, and exploit, other ppl's ignorance.
