does Christianity have 0 tolerance for murder as Christian say? NO lemme prove it Deuteronomy 17:12 ► New International Version Anyone who shows contempt for the judge or for the priest who stands ministering there to the LORD your God is to be put to death. You must purge the evil from Israel.
Exodus 22:18 ► New International Version "Do not allow a sorceress to live.
◄Exodus 21:15 ∆ New International Version "Anyone who attacks their father or mother is to be put to death.
Deuteronomy 22:20 ► New International Version (NIV) If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house. You must purge the evil from among you.
Leviticus 20:13 ► New International Version "'If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

Re: Is Christianity A Religion Of Peace by kilo4sure: 8:22pm On Aug 27, 2016
It is apparent you are ignorant, you opened this thread because Christians accuse Muslims of violence, hence to show that Islam is not uniquely violent you quote Deuteronomy which addressed a theocratic Jewish era, and in your little perspective, this is enough to show that Christianity is also violent. Hence it is of little wonder the Christians who have responded so far do not take you seriously because it would surely be a waste of time.

And please you guys should understand the mosaic law of an eye for an eye...

It means if i pierce your eyes, you will take me to the priest and elders,with 3 witnesses. If am found guilty,same measure will be done unto me. Read deutronomy fully!!!

Tell me which christian brother ve killed a moslem cleric for preaching

1) Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City
bombing, April 19, 1995. Neocons and Republicans grow angry
and uncomfortable whenever Timothy McVeigh is cited as an example of a non-
Islamic terrorist. Pointing out that a non-Muslim white male carried out an
attack as vicious and deadly as the Oklahoma City bombing doesn’t fit into
their narrative that only Muslims and people of color are capable of carrying
out terrorist attacks. Neocons will claim that bringing up McVeigh’s name
during a discussion of terrorism is a “red herring” that distracts us from
fighting radical Islamists, but that downplays the cruel, destructive nature of
the attack.
Prior to the al-Qaeda attacks of 9/11, the Oklahoma City bombing McVeigh
orchestrated was the most deadly terrorist attack in U.S.

2) Suicide attack on IRS building in Austin, Texas,
Feb. 18, 2010. When Joseph Stack flew a plane into the Echelon office
complex (where an IRS office was located), Fox News’ coverage of the
incident was calm and matter-of-fact. Republican Rep. Steve King of Iowa
seemed to find the attack amusing and joked that it could have been avoided if
the federal government had followed his advice and abolished the IRS.
Nonetheless, there were two fatalities: Stack and IRS employee Vernon Hunter.
Stack left behind a rambling suicide note outlining his reasons for the attack,
which included a disdain for the IRS as well as total disgust with health
insurance companies and bank bailouts. Some of the most insightful coverage
of the incident came from Noam Chomsky, who said that while Stack had
some legitimate grievances—millions of Americans shared his outrage over bank
bailouts and the practices of health insurance companies—the way he expressed
them was absolutely wrong.


3) The Centennial Olympic Park bombing, July 27,
1996. Paul Jennings Hill is hardly the only Christian terrorist who has
been praised by the Army of God; that organization has also praised Eric
Rudolph, who is serving life without parole for a long list of terrorist attacks
committed in the name of Christianity. Rudolph is best known for carrying out
the Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta during the 1996 Summer Olympics—a
blast that killed spectator Alice Hawthorne and wounded 111 others. Hawthorne
wasn’t the only person Rudolph murdered: his bombing of an abortion clinic in
Birmingham, Alabama in 1998 caused the death of Robert Sanderson (a
Birmingham police officer and part-time security guard) and caused nurse
Emily Lyons to lose an eye.

wow, he quoted some verses from the Bible about love (2verses).....I'll quote 10 from the Quran.....

1. It is not righteousness that you turn your faces to the East
or the West, but truly righteous is he who believes in Allah and
the Last Day and the angels and the Book and the Prophets,
and spends his money for love of Him, on the kindred and the
orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and those who ask for
charity, and for ransoming the captives; and who observes
Prayer and pays the Zakat; and those who fulfill their promise
when they have made one, and the patient in poverty and
afflictions and the steadfast in time of war; it is these who
have proved truthful and it is these who are the God-fearing.
(Al Quran 2:178

2. Indeed, Allah enjoins justice, and the doing of good to
others; and giving like kindred; and forbids indecency, and
manifest evil, and wrongful transgression. He admonished you
that you may take heed. (Al Quran 16:91)

3. And as for those who strive in Our path — We will
surely guide them in Our ways. And Indeed, Allah is with those
who are of service to others. (Al Quran 29:70)

4. Indeed, Allah is with those who are righteous and those
who do good. (Al Quran 16:129)

6. O ye people! fear your Lord, Who created you from a
single soul and created therefrom its mate, and from them twain
spread many men and women; and fear Allah, in Whose name
you appeal to one another, and be mindful of your duty to
Allah, particularly respecting ties of relationship.
Verily, Allah watches over you. (Al Quran 4:2)

121-122. And good and evil are not alike. Repel evil with that
which is best. And lo, he between whom and thyself was
enmity will become as though he were a warm friend. But
none is granted it save those who are steadfast; and none is
granted it save those who possess a large share of good. (Al
Quran 41:35-36)

SHALOM!

We are Commanded to follow YAHSHUA, not MOSES, nor THE PROPHETS, nor THE APOSTLES.

OYINBO ORGANIZED CHRISTIANITY IS BASED ON MURDER.

There is no point in discussing it.

It is like dissecting a PIG, trying to find something inside it that is LAWFUL to eat: THAT CANNOT HAPPEN.

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH SAYS THAT THE COMMUNION WAFER, WHEN IT HAS BEEN BLESSED BY THE PRIEST, BECOMES GOD.

Not "REPRESENTS" God, but that IT IS GOD.

The FAKE PROTESTANT CHRISTIAN CHURCHES have been INFILTRATED by Roman Catholic Agents and Assets, and as such HAVE NO OBJECTION to this DAILY BLASPHEMY that the Roman Catholic Church commits, and treat them more or less as EQUAL CHRISTIANS WITH THEMSELVES.

The Roman Catholic Church has RULED, that the Mass Ritual, where the Priest uses HOCUS-POCUS (that is EXACTLY what it is called: no joke,) to TRANSUBSTANTIATE the Communion Wafer into GOD, is valid, because of the HOLINESS OF THE PRIEST.

Who has taken OATH OF CELIBACY- that is, NO SEX, EVER- thus making him HOLIER than any LAYMAN could POSSIBLY become.

In the wake of multiple scandals, where it was PROVEN that Roman Catholic Priests were having SEX the whole time- even the Abominable Homosexual relations- the Roman Catholic Church has ruled that THE HOLY COMMUNION AND MASS WERE STILL VALID- EVEN WHEN THE PRIEST WAS SECRETLY SINNING AND LYING TO THE LAYMEN!

All Protestant Churches have NOTHING to say- when they SHOULD be PROTESTING THIS BLASPHEMY AND TRAVESTY on a DAILY basis!
Re: Is Christianity A Religion Of Peace by adjoviomole(m): 10:44am On Sep 10, 2016
Let me break it down to you.... The old testament is the time of DO and DIE judgment....while the new testament is the time of look and live grace....we are no longer in the time of judgment (old testament) we are in the time of Grace,but all dis were written so that we can learn from the past....


As christians our role model is Jesus Christ. Meaning of christians is people who are christlike.

What can be more peaceful than the life and ethics jesus left for all? He said love your neighbors as yourself, he said pray for your enemies and them that persecute you...how many people can pray for their enemies? You included?............a true christian possess all the peaceful attributes of Jesus anyone who does otherwise is not a follower of christ.tanks
Re: Is Christianity A Religion Of Peace by Nobody: 4:19pm On Sep 10, 2016
[b]For the wrath of God l is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth For what can be Known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.

Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the CREATOR, who is blessed forever! Amen. [/b]

Roman 1:18-25 Waiting For Christian To Say Ameen to the prayer (verse) above.

[b] Jesus Peace Be Upon Him Is a Man and Servant of God

“The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified HIS SERVANT JESUS" (Acts 3:13)
" a man who has told you the truth’ (John 8:40)

"Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know.’ (Acts 2:22)


God is Spirit and Have No Flesh

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24 )

Does this leave the option that God as a spirit could also have a "body of flesh and bones?" Here is how Jesus defined a spirit:

Jesus Peace Be Upon Him Have Bone And Flesh

Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. (Luke 24:39 )

Christians Reply: Jesus is both fully human and divine. This is the reason why God gave Him a human mother, so that he could be connected with us in such a way that He could perform the perfect sacrifice for us.

Bible says that God is Not Man


"God is not a man’ (Numbers 23:19)
‘For I am God, and not man’ (Hosea 11:9)


For those who will say, why are you quoting old testament.

Mathew 5:16
New International Version
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

New Living Translation
"Don't misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose.
