Hi again,
I am locking this thread after today as I think we are off the thread subject and if someone wants to pick it up, they can open in another subject line.
Murdoch, I think you know the answer to your own questions relating to my stance on the state of unbelievers as I have written it down many times. It is exactly because they are blinded, that I will not attack them personally, or allow them to be attacked in this forum.
This forum is for Christians and Muslims to discuss their faith and explain what they believe and why. It is an avenue for each to explain why they can't accept the others view point and why they believe the other's faith is wrong.
I again state, speaking the truth doesn't mean attacking the person and that is the criteria that both Bushmaster and I are approaching this discussion forums.
We want Muslims to feel they can come to the discussions and have their questions answered or make comments that will be accepted as legitimate questions or comments, based on their world view , even of we don't agree with what they are saying.
Likewise, I would like all Christians to feel welcome to come and discuss the same things regarding the Muslim faith. Using this style of discussion, we will have good discussions, learn alot about each others faith from the perspective not of what we are reading, but what each truly believe, retain our Muslim friends who are visiting the site and ALWAYS present truth.
There are other forums on the JC forums that allow for more active debate and they are the appropriate places for the type of debating which allows more subjective comments be presented in a more dogmatic way.
Hope this explains our viewpoint a little more ... thread is now locked
