O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His messengers. Say not "Trinity": desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah: Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs. (4:171, Yusif Ali)

The absolute audacity of Muslims to claim that Jesus was just a prophet, a messenger

Sad how this stain on Abraham is now the worlds fastest growing religion

well when a Jew writes your holy book 80 years after your prophet's death, that's what you get

The Jews are trying to follow an Old covenant which no longer works

"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'" John 14:6 NKJV

By denying Jesus's being the Messiah or trying to follow the old covenant despite acknowledging his being the messiah, they're making fools of themselves and turning down path which leads to damnation

And Muslims are just as bad, worshipping just as much of a perverted gospel as Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses

I am surprised that Islam just trys to use jesus and be like "nahhh brahh he was our profit he was definetly here for allah" shit like that

Even the devil can quote scripture for his own purposes

Simple as that

indeed

Its sad that majority Christian nations are letting in massive numbers of nonbelievers like this and laying down like they're their doormats

Perhaps its the wave of "baby-Jesus" watered-down Christianity

Joel Osteen type shit

Where God loves you how you are and hates the sin, not the sinner

And God has no wrath

That, or the increasing wave of Secularism and Atheism/Agnosticism

Just as much of a plague as heresies and false gospels

If not more, because it's "backed by science"

yeah its very annoying but us believers must go through serious struggle.

Besides the pope not taking a harsh stance on it

As Europe has a large catholic "presence"

But then again, how many of those catholics are truly devoted?

Quite a lot less than one would believe, I'd imagine

Granted, I'd prefer to stay out of Christian infighting so I won't start ranting about Catholics too much

Seeing as a Baptist like me has some choice words

I believe in orthodoxy and I still am not baptized because I guess I just havent been ready but I believe in the teachings.

Honestly, the ideas of John Calvin as far as communities go aren't that bad of an idea in theory

Where the ideal community is centered around the church and all people of the community are members of the church

Issue is that it'd be just as much of a breeding ground for corruption as any other

A great example is the massachusetts bay colony

They had a witch scare and boom

Salem witch trials

In the spiritual section of Calvin's philosophies, however, that's where a large portion of Baptists place reasoning

There and parts of Luther's 95 theses

Of course, there's more, but there always is when talking of Christian Denominations

What I really cant stand is churches who put females and lesbians in these preaching roles and act like its fine

Prots are not the brightest

There are some protestant denominations which have gone extremely sour

Or non-denominationals too

Yknow, the traditional "Mega-Church" that has thousands of attendees and has a TV broadcast
