The Sri Lanka bombings were retaliation they say for the Muslim mosque attack in New Zealand. [Spirituality & Religion]

But the New Zealand attack was not done by a Christian, but a right wing radical hating Muslims they said today on the news.
As Christians we are to love our enemies. We would never retaliate. Remember Christians we are to show the love of God! We are different than the world. Are we showing the love of God to the world, and to Muslims?

"Love your enemies, and those who despitefully use you" Jesus says.

Replace would with should and you'd be right. No group of religious people (or any people for that matter) is perfect

@BeefySenpie Some are less perfect than others which is the point I believe.
@Abrienda But the statement as written suggests the entire group is perfect and would not, which is a lie

@BeefySenpie Yes and you were being pedantic. However to Carazaa's statement (which is not a "lie", for God's sake...try controlling yourself), perhaps you can name me the Christian who has slit the throat of a Moslem Iman in a Mosque while reciting the Nicene Creed or the Christian Fundamentalist terrorists who shot up an Eid celebration or bombed a Hindu temple? I wish you good luck with that.

@BeefySenpie I am a born again Christian and I believe that someone who really loves Jesus would never do a bombing so they were no Christian at all!

@Carazaa Well said and absolutely true. Jesus called only for self-DEFENSE and even cautioned against talking that to extremes.

I find it the height of arrogance and hypocrisy for atheists and others of that ilk trolling Christian posts and making statements of "fact" or theology that are untrue and presuming to argue and "correct" those of us who know and practice the faith they have no experience of.

Since I know nothing about cars I don't visit automotive web sites and share my "expertise" with people who actually know what they are talking about and make feeble or idiotic statements.

Atheists and the like, take note.

@Abrienda I suspect during the Crusades many a Muslim at prayer had their throats slit in Mosques, including Imans all in the nane of Christ.

@KiwiBird GIVE ME THE YEAR THAT TOOK PLACE! 2019? 1819? 1719? C'MON...LOOK IT UP!

Obviously you were too dense to understand my warning about talking about something you know NOTHING ABOUT! But then kiwi are known for being remarkably stupid birds.
KiwiBird · 36-40, F
@Abrienda There were eight major Crusades and many minor ones and took place between 1096 and 1291.
Abrienda · 26-30, F
@KiwiBirdThank you. In your dumbness you just helped me make my point. HOW MANY CENTURIES AGO WAS THAT? I am talking about LAST MONTH!

BYW, do you believe people should be able to regain lands conquered by others? Like the Palestinians from the Jews, for example?

If yes then you should have sided with the Crusades. I will let you Google the answer as to why the same way you did the dates of the Crusades.

@Abrienda I have learnt never to argue with idiots. Love how you edit after comnents are posted. Not going to waste my time.
Abrienda · 26-30, F
@KiwiBird Hahahah! NICE! Wy God what a pathetic weaselly retreat used by know-nothings like you drowning from being intellectually in over their heads!

What you obviously did NOT learn was the entire area the where the Crusades took place were originally CHRISTIAN so the Crusaders were simply liberating former Christian lands from invaders and feeing the large Christian minorities living there from persecution. Guess the youtube video you watched that made you an expert of the subject or the Wikipedia don't' mention that small fact.

It's also why you could not dare answer my question about the "Palestinians'. So as you sound like someone who probably does think "Palestine" should be returned to the "Palestinians" how about North Africa, Egypt, Syria and Turkey being returned to the Christian Crusaders?

And since you are so much my intellectual superior perhaps you can quick enlighten me as to when WITHIN THE PAST 100 YEARS a Christian entered a mosque and killed an Imam while reciting the Nicene Creed. And it's okay...you can Google "Nicene Creed", "mosque" and "Imam". I wont think you are any more ill-informed and just plain dumb than I already do!😘
