Qur’an 5:17 “Verily they are disbelievers and infidels who say, ‘The Messiah, son of Mary, is God.’”
Qur’an 5:51 “Believers, take not Jews and Christians for your friends. They are but friends and protectors to each other.”

Islam is no friend to Christianity, in fact, it’s the only religion that justifies the killing of non-believers.

Amazing what passes for Christian leadership these days. I’d wonder if “Father” Paul is really a Christian at all. He’s certainly an idiot.

Michael,

In biology the issue is also strait forward as a zygote and afterward is considered to be both alive and a homo sapient organism. The zygote is the result of conception so the Catholic theory that life begins at conception is technically incorrect though difference between the two events is fairly minor in time.

The debate comes in philosophical/theological arguments over such arbitrary points as when a human being has consciousness, spirit, soul, etc. which is more dependant on the individuals own opinion than and scientific fact though they may use scientific evidence to define when said point is reached.

In American law the point is very confused due to conflicting laws. I favor the biological definition but common law can be interpreter in two ways. One way favors the biological definition and the other leaves it up to the legislators to decide but quickening was the point Common Law chose.

Michael,

I realize what several sects of Judaism state is written in the Torah but if the Torah aggress with my New International Version in Exodus 21:22-25 they lie as it clearly states that if a child in his mother’s is killed on accident during a fight then a life is demanded for a life. That is clearly not a potential life. That is even an unintentional act that leads to the child’s death. Since it is unintentional the culprit may flee to a sanctuary city and thus escape with his life if he makes it. If a mother has to intentionally kill or have her child killed for her to live then self defense may justify the action according to the Torah. If the reason for her killing her child is intentional and other than self defense she does can not even escape the death penalty by fleeing to a sanctuary city. If you know another just reason for killing a human being accept for self defense that might apply in the situation then please let me know.

great topic, as usual the small minded cannot look at the big picture of politcs and the Middle East. The Israelis are fighting Hezbollah from the north, Hamas from the south, Jimmy Carter and Jim Baker from our side of the pond. Now some little priest who offends the name of God by siding with murderous thugs instead of the brave Israelis, shame shame

How often, I wonder, does the good Father actually sit down and read his Bible. He might trying reading a few of these passages:

Genesis 12:3; Psalm 83; Psalm 122:6

Everyone has already said everything, so I’ll just add that I believe you make an excellent point with this post, Angel.

Sorry for getting here so late. Halo Scan decided not to work this morning and I finally discovered it was my ISP, because I was able to get into Halo Scan with my dial-up. I called my ISP and they got it fixed, but it was pretty frustrating. It’s a good think I saved the dial-up connection.

Blessings, Angel. You always do such good work. I absolutely love your sarcasm.
