Islam

ok, I'm a christian. I'm not gonna force my religion on u. And I respect other peoples religion.

Our local islamic priests (I guess thats what their called) having been saying that islam is a peace loving religion.

However, I do know that the qu'ran...

says 'fight all those close to you'. muhammad himself was a soldier in an arabic army. People have been TRYING to start wars with other nations for over 1500 years, to die in a 'holy war' (jihad). The q'uran also says that when islamic people die they will get 72 virgins, but it never specifies if they will be male or female.

Sorry, what is your question?

Leviticus 20:9 For anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death; he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood is upon him.
20:10 If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
20:13 If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

Deuteronomy 22:20-1 But if the thing is true, that evidence of virginity was not found in the young woman, then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done an outrageous thing in Israel by whoring in her father’s house. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.

Exodus 35:2 Six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death.

Deuteronomy 7:1-2 When the Lord your God brings you into the land that you are entering to take possession of it, and clears away many nations before you, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations more numerous and mightier than yourselves, and when the Lord your God gives them over to you, and you defeat them, then you must devote them to complete destruction. You shall make no covenant with them and show no mercy to them.

20:10-17 When you draw near to a city to fight against it, offer terms of peace to it. And if it responds to you peaceably and it opens to you, then all the people who are found in it shall do forced labor for you and shall serve you. But if it makes no peace with you, but makes war against you, then you shall besiege it. And when the Lord your God gives it into your hand, you shall put all its males to the sword, but the women and the little ones, the livestock, and everything else in the city, all its spoil, you shall take as plunder for yourselves. And you shall enjoy the spoil of your enemies, which the Lord your God has given you. Thus you shall do to all the cities that are very far from you, which are not cities of the nations here. But in the cities of these peoples that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance, you shall save alive nothing that breathes, but you shall devote them to complete destruction, the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, as the Lord your God has commanded.

Ezekiel 20:25-26 Moreover, I gave them statutes that were not good and rules by which they could not have life, and I defiled them through their very gifts in their offering up all their firstborn, that I might devastate them. I did it that they might know that I am the Lord.

Ephesians 5:22-24 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.

Exodus 21:20-21 When a man strikes his slave, male or female, with a rod and the slave dies under his hand, he shall be avenged. But if the slave survives a day or two, he is not to be avenged, for the slave is his money.

1 Peter 2:13-14 Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good.

2:18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the unjust.

Leviticus 25:44-45 As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are around you. You may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their clans that are with you, who have been born in your land, and they may be your property.
Jesus, on His Second Coming

Matthew 24:29-34 Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates. Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.

16:27-28 For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done. Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.

haha avoid the religion thingy , it an old story ( fairy tails) religion is daft!

TY, whats with you today? first you insult me on my question and now you insult him. Are you muslim? if your not don't answer his question.

christianity is mostly a peaceful religion. Notice how all of your examples are about evil sins and the end of the world. Maybe you shouldn't be an adviser

***christianity is mostly a peaceful religion.***

Have you read your bible? It's obviously not MOSTLY a peaceful religion if you look at all the people that were killed in the name of god...I mean he even let his OWN SON be killed.

***Notice how all of your examples are about evil sins and the end of the world. Maybe you shouldn't be an adviser***

NOTICE how ALL of her examples are from the bible...strange that you say Christianity is a peaceful religion then.

And what WAS your questions again?

I sIslam a religion of peace? Well, look at it's fruits and answer that for yourself. Of course it isn't, regardless of what people claim. Any religion that has a tendency to spark violence is not peaceful.

***christianity is mostly a peaceful religion.***

Yeah... the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the Salem Witch Trials... they were ALL peaceful events... the killing, raping, torturing, and pillaging, were all consentual.

***Notice how all of your examples are about evil sins and the end of the world.***

No, they weren't. And what's the difference between a 'sin' and an 'evil sin' ??

Captianassassin, you have a point. A sin is a sin. But there a different consequenses to different sins. Back then it was a lot worse. When Jesus came, he told us to be kind and good, but yet firm and strong. I am not with the catolics, and the protestants did a lot of wrong things too. It was still wrong, and it was NOT included in the Bible.

okey..
I accidentally saw this topic when I was searching in google ...

iam from syria , and iam muslm

I think people from america and other forign countries have terrible thoughts about islam

here in syria muslims and christians live together in peace ...do you know I have so many friends in my collages who are christians ..and there from other kinds of christanity ...

believe me .. Mohamed our massenger was the source of the peace ... god choose him to help the people to believe in god ... and quran cames when christian
religion become missing and bible was writen on it by some evil minds ,,,
in islam ...we are consederd as non believe in god if we not believe in virgin Mary and Jesus ...
and all of the stories writen in quran which god save it from evil people ...

sorry for interrupting but I liked to talk about my relegion because it is oppressed

***But there a different consequenses to different sins.***

No... according to the Bible, with the exception of blasphemy, ALL sin is equal.

***It was still wrong, and it was NOT included in the Bible.***

Regardless, it was done in the name of the religion. Be it severe misinterpretation or not, people have committed horrible acts in the name of Christ. Christianity is also the most divided religion in history, cause for further misinterpretation. There are several versions of the Bible, and there have been over 30,000 denominations; all claiming they're right. Its not hard to see this is NOT what God had in mind.

ifeelcrazy123 ; he let his own son die for us, not for nothing. he loves us. sooo why would you act like he did it for no big deal.
