"Wiping out an entire civilization" and sending them "back to the stone age", after killing thousands of civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure ... does that apply to "just certain expressions of Islam in a certain country", or everyone who lives in Iran and ...

Because they believe they are when they are willing to lay down their lives for others. People who go to war aren't laying down their lives for others. They're doing the best they can to snuff out other people's lives - and are generally willing to "sacrifice" the lives of "enemy&quo...

I’m just not prepared to dismiss every other denomination as NON Christian for a different interpretation. Neither would I. But I will still ask how can followers of Jesus defend not following?

How would you talk about this event in a way that you would characterize as not-political? There will always be people who will talk about people but if you wanna talk about me - please tell it to someone who can do something about it and please, do it on your knees. You can tell the Lord all the t...

So I will put out something a bit controversial. I remember discussing the seven year cycle Rod & Staff use to cover the Bible in their Sunday School materials and saying it made no sense to me for it puts equal weight on all the Bible. I think all the Bible has merit, but not equally in terms ...
