dude you are so wrong and missed the most important part of the quran about war and a jihad....

mohammed also said that when your enemy is defeated and driven from your land to show compassion and let them leave or som such i will try to track the specific qoute for you... it may take a while or few days so bare with me..

EDIT:

Those who are merciful have mercy shown them by the Compassionate One, if you show mercy to those who are in the earth, He Who is in heaven will show mercy to you.

Prophet Muhammad -

“He is not strong and powerful who throweth people down; but he is strong who witholdeth himself from anger”

qoute mohhamed the prophet

first, as one who as also extensively studied the bible, you have little knowledge of what you speak. the old testament, which represents the law has all of those things in it, (except the amputation one) and is how the ones who would hope to ascend must conduct themselves in order to attone for their sin. The new testament represents forgiveness, and teaches peace and goodwill to everyone instead of brutal punishment for the sinful.

Your interpretation, I just went with what it actually said word for word.

I believe in all aspects of the bible. I agree that those who take it for what people say it is are idiotic. One must embrace all aspects of the bible and attempt to follow all commandments to be a true christian.

You don't though, obviously, since you are a functioning human being...you pick and mix, as it makes sense, in accordance with modern values and morals.

indeed, but according to their religion (there is no message of mercy or redemption) they go to hell for passiveness during a jihad and are hypocrites.

Well, not all modern Muslim scholars seem to agree with you on that.

a jihad war and its finality is and can be considered by many different muslim some extremist view us in that part of the war as a jihad war....

also other many muslim scholars believe a jihad is a spiritual struggle and not a physical war with ppl

the same argument can be made with the kingdom of god from how jesus described it ... it is mental spiritual plane within us... and not an actual place that ppl go after death..

I do not "pick and mix".

Hahahah, right.

then not all modern muslim scholars accept the entirety of the qur'an.

Or they interpret it differently. Who knows. I also find it weird there are just so freaking many Christian Denominations, seems silly, but that's what it is, people interpret it differently, just like you do. It's a pick and mix thing...just is.

so did I. the gospel ended with the curtains to the temple being torn, signifying in jewish tradition that the law had been thrown down.

So, you are really majorly interpreting, just not a bit.

1, i don't. 2. you can't interpret "seek them out where they hide" as go forth and be nice to everyone.

Sure you can...I am doing it right now

The first thing I would do as president would be to kick Knightfall's ass. Repeatedly.
Or at least pointedly NOT appoint him as my foriegn affairs minister or internal affairs minister. Though it would be quite funny to watch him call homosexuals 'twisted and perverted' or lecture muslims on how hypocritical they are for not trying to murder 90% of the world. Being polite is overrated anyway. 😉

no. not interpreting it at all.

See, this is where problems arise. Deciding that one's interpretation of an ancient book is objective truth and being willing to send everyone that disagrees to eternal damnation seems dangerous. Are you so sure that you are right? The fact that billions of people disagree with you (even some who also profess a deep belief in Christianity) doesn't make you hesitate at all?

As for my interpretation being the last word on anything, I could indeed be wrong on some things, but my "interpretation" is based on facts that come from the bible. I also do not get the last word on anything, god does.

@ xyz, shutting down the health business is a bad idea, as becoming a doctor will become a very long school process for a very very bad career. Nobody with any brain cells would do it and thus we would have a country full of idiot doctors.

Sorry Knightfa11, but I don't coverse with scum like you. Toodles.

lulz profiled.

and it is because you aren't mentally capable of debating with me...

why?

Because i'm right. 😉

As for the Death Penalty thing, it's just better economics.

That is hilarious. Mostly because it costs more to execute someone than keep them in prison for life.

Unless of course you take China/Iran approach in which case you just shoot without a trial.

i'm for pushing them into the grand canyon and leaving their bones as a sign to those who would murder and rape.

Irony?

God I hope so.

Anyway, you would still be stuck determining the ones who actually did murder and rape, and the damage to the fragile ecosystem would probably not be worth the (dubious) value of an attempt at intimidation. Besides, the Grand Canyon is much more valuable as a tourist site (which brings economic prosperity to the surrounding areas) than as a death pit.
