Where Are The Defenders Of Our Faith?

[Theland]

Christians being murdered all over the world, the latest atrocities in France - Again!
Muslims invading us from across the channel.
Who will defend us?

[Theland]

Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Naomi, yes it is irrational. That is the whole secret of God revealed in Jesus Christ.
Calvary was a failure, the Messiah was dead.
To the Jews it was shame.
To the Romans it was the law in action.
Totally irrational.
Gods plan defies the learned and the teachers of the law.
No human being can ever convince an unbeliever, only the Holy Spirit can do that.
Our church leaders also try to rationalise it, which is why to join their exclusive climb, you need a theology degree, which only leads them into error after error with a smidgen of truth.
It is better to !I've in hope than hopelessness.
I have much more to say on the subject of hope.

Doesn't seem to stop you and your fellow fervents from trying on here day in day out, does it.

[fender62]

andy-hughes, maybe he think he's an emmisary holy interperter..

[naomi24]

Theland, you're preaching again - and still no answer to my question.

Khandro, that'll be a 'no' then.

[Theland]

AH - I thought I was discussing something with Naomi, not preaching.
Side swipe mockery is de rigeur on here isn't it?
I always expect it and am never disappointed.

Like all fervent Christians, your skin is wafer-thin, and you see mockery instead of a simple point.

Still, saves you the tiresome task of addressing what I am saying though, doesn't it?

So you carry on butting heads with naomi and getting absolutely nowhere.

[Theland]

tell me why that wouldn't benefit every society and the planet as a whole?

I've answered this.

[naomi24]

Where have you answered it?

[Atheist]

Theland; How do you envisage that the defenders of our faith would behave or act? Would they be simple defenders, or would they also be attackers of other faiths? And what is Our Faith? Is it C of E, or RC, or all-purpose christianity? And finally, who is attacking 'our faith'?

[Theland]

Andy - I'm not trying anything. As I said it was a discussion.
Join in if you have any relevant points to make.

[Theland]

Atheist, MY faith snared by millions around the world is Christianity. Simple.
Our western European culture has it's roots on Judeo Christianity, and that is under attack from all quarters as you well know, or should know.

[Atheist]

Theland; does your reply mean that you only fear Islam? And I did ask how you think 'our faith' should be defended.

[naomi24]

Theland, //Answered at 22:38//

Nonsense. That doesn't answer the question. It's a cop out - and one that doesn't work. Have another go.

[Theland]

''Our /My,'' faith and culture should be defended against ALL of the forces out to attack it.
Are you being willingly obtuse, or are you genuinely blind to current affairs?

[Theland]

Naomi, worming? Cop out? Something else?
Sorry, I have answered you.
Redesign human beings and human nature if you can.
That is a starting point for you.

[andy-hughes]

Theland - // Andy - I'm not trying anything. As I said it was a discussion. //

You are trying - you try to convert people to your view every single day, and every single day you fail.

// Join in if you have any relevant points to make. //

I don't - but I wouldn't bother if I did, you don't listem and you only respond with vague unconnected answers, I don't know how naomi puts up with it day in and day out.

[naomi24]

Theland, when the flaws in religion are exposed you wouldn’t give a straight answer to a straight question if your life depended upon it.

[Theland]

Naomi, its not my problem. Its yours.
You know enough to ma!e a decision. Your choice.
It doesn't affect me.
You are highly skilled in being argumentative and decisive for the sake of doing so.
But, win every discussion / argument you like, and gain the kudos that are your reward.
I wish you well.

[Khandro]

n. Have you ever thought that what you see as "flaws in religion" may be in your eyes.

The truth is, you can't stand it can you, you can't stand that others may think differently to you, you don't understand, so you not only dismiss it, you attack it - does that not indicate a monstrous ego?
