Unprofitable Servant,I'm definitely not against imprecatory prayers. I sing some of them every Sunday. I'm also not against strong speech for wolves in sheep's clothing (i.e. those who lead God's sheep astray). What I'm talking about here is pretty targeted. The general manner by which Christians should guard their tongues, especially when speaking to and around unbelievers and weaker brethren. Trying to get a rise out of people isn't demanded in the Scriptures, quite the opposite. Everyone here knows full well, if you do a 66 book study on how, in general, we should speak, it is in reverence, humility, seasoned with grace, temperance, etc. That's the default expectation. It's the rule, not the exception to the rule. Belittling what all women do, including Christian women, doesn't fall into the category of imprecatory prayer or harsh words for false teachers. |

The Qur'an states that Judas was crucified, not Jesus. Qur'an 4:156-159 The Qur'an States that Ishmael, not Isaac was the promised child. Qur'an Sura 37:103. In Islam, you must never call God your "father",..not even your Heavenly Father" This is blasphemy,.He is your eternal Master,..to be feared, to be respected,..but you may not place yourself so near to Him as to call God your "father", a true Muslim will never address Allah as "Father".So,..what is to dialogue about,..? About Mohammad consummated a marriage to a 9 year old little girl when he was 54 years old? (Qur'an Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62) Here is the only "dialogue" I am willing to engage in: If you are offended by our U.S. Constitutional freedoms and if you demand the anti-freedom and unconstitutional Sharia law then please do not live here,..stay where such insanity is the norm. |

What many people fail to grasp is that the Confederate flag does not today, and did not in the minds of many Southerners who fought in the Civil War, stand for racism, white supremacy, or pro-slavery sentiments. Many Southerners-- including Lee himself, saw slavery as a social evil that needed to be eliminated, but they also believed in the sovereign freedom of individual states to leave the Union and then to solve their own social evils internally; so when the Southern states voted to secede from the Union, and then were attacked by the North, they supported the South in its efforts to defend state sovereignty, though they did not defend the institution of slavery or desire its perpetuation. They believed that states are responsible before God to correct their own social evils, without being forced to do so by foreign invaders (which is how the federal troops sent from Washington were viewed). We believe in the same principle, don't we? Do we think the U. S. has authority to attack Muslim lands in order to "liberate the women" who are being held as slaves in those lands? No, we believe Muslim lands are responsible before God to correct their own social evils. It would be wrong to attack them under the claim we are "liberating the oppressed." |
