Christian/Muslim ThreadsIslam Is The Fastest Growing Religion... Why???
So you quoted I had no doubt that adultery was addressed by the Bible. Yet the practical question of how to accomplish this is not being achieved by the church. Sure, I can agree as a Christian that adultery is wrong, yet the majority of Christians are not wise enough to chart a path that prevents this from happening to their children. As I said before, only those children who happen to be blessed with a high degree of intrapersonal intelligence seem to make it out of high school unscathed-and they have to do it by being loners. Why exactly is this ludicrous? Many Christians who support courting over dating would say this is fairly reasonable. However, the courting movement in Christianity is struggling at best. Do you think it is a good idea to allow kids who are "interested in each other" to sit alone in the girl's bedroom even if her parents are just outside in the next room. Do you think there is ANY reason for children to date or to be alone together if they are not ready for marriage? If there is any scripture regarding this, most Christians will tell you that this is archaic Jewish law and that they are not "under the law". Aineo, to forbid somene from making generalizations due to their inability to know each and every person about whom they are generalizing is a fallacious form of debate. Most of the Christians on these forums (whose posts we have ALL read) agree that there are far too many Christians who don't represent Christ well-and the important thing is that it is apparently a pretty a high percentage. A case in point-how can Christians find it acceptable for atheists to have a lower divorce rate than they do? To try to answer the divorce problem the church is doing a variety of things to strengthen existing marriages, supporting covenant marriage, and encouraging more counseling before marriage, but there is NO unified consensus on how to prevent the adultery that naturally results from dating. The "ludicrous" Islamic method that I mentioned above of making sure that adolescent (unrelated) boys and girls are properly chaperoned by family members is actually quite sensible. I don't understand how you can dismiss it so quickly. By the way, I am not sure Islam is the answer to all of this, (I am not sure that it isn't) but I do know that Christianity is having a difficult time forming a consensus on how to solve these problems; as well as the problem of the lack of devotion among many Christians.
