December 4, 201510 yr It's a horrible nightmare for the families of those killed, that goes without saying. But how would you like to be this guys brother? A decorated veteran who was decorated with honors for fighting terrorism, and here you find out your own brother was radicalize.
December 4, 201510 yr Here would be what I use to validate my beliefs on homosexuality: "For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural, and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error" (Rom. 1:26–27). "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor sexual perverts, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Cor. 6:9–10). "Now we know that the law is good, if any one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, immoral persons, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine" (1 Tim. 1:8–10). "Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise acted immorally and indulged in unnatural lust, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire" (Jude 7). ...and the rest of the post?
December 4, 201510 yr Thats the new testament verses that deal with it. This is not a thread about homosexuality, but a shooting. There are reasons behind these shooting, mainly evil people. Just so happens ISIS and Al Qaeda are behind most of those and I think everyone here knows what religious affiliation they are and LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR: I WILL NOT BE POLITICALLY CORRECT TO NOT HURT FEELINGS. Whether you agree with me or not, thats your choice. But you wont change me.:lol2:

You just happen to conveniently push aside that the Bible is used to validate radical Christian beliefs. As I said: You are talking about using passages from a religious text to validate ones beliefs and specifically what we would call radical beliefs. The Old Testament is used for that. We will dismiss the parts about using it to validate beliefs on homosexuality as you are right that probably is too far away form the subject at hand.
December 4, 201510 yr Oh geez.... Not everyone believes that the state will protect us as long as we obey the King and Queen. Where was the state in Paris and San Bernardino? The peasants are disarmed in France and CA is owned by the state in the US, yet evil prevailed in both circumstances.
December 4, 201510 yr Look I am not saying there are some nuts who kill that claim to be a Christian. And "claim" is the only thing they have going for them come Lets meet God day. :thumb:
December 4, 201510 yr Look I am not saying there are some nuts who kill that claim to be a Christian. And "claim" is the only thing they have going for them come Lets meet God day. :thumb:But Muslims who kill are just following the Koran, right?
December 4, 201510 yr What are they following then? You tell me why they are doing what they are? I posted a article that answers what ISIS is about and what they want. Lets hear your thoughts on why this is happening? Dont be the person who always are telling someone else they are wrong, bring some solutions or answers and how we fix it. I want to hear your take. I have given mine with links about what the Quran says, a link to what ISIS is and wants and the reasons behind it. I have listened and watched their videos with their claims and I have heard them shout Allah Akbar when they are killing innocent people in the name of God and wage Jihad as outlined by the prophet Muhammad in the Quran. Those are my reasons for saying the things I have said. Now its your turn, let hear it. The floor is all yours. Put up or shut up.
December 4, 201510 yr Agreed, that she pledged her allegiance to IS, if they would have been directly involved this would have been a lot worse. And the sad thing about it is, this is only the beginning. I think its worse. It doesn't take their money or guidance to mass kill. Any fringe believer can be a mass killer without help. Very bad message.
December 4, 201510 yr Did you not read my posts? Read my last post to Rockmom. I assumed you had some understanding of Christianity, Judaism which you do not. Actually, I do. I may not be Getslow or Bert, but I certainly have studied both Christianity and Judaism extensively, as well as Hinduism, Islam an Paganism, to name a few.

December 4, 201510 yr What are they following then? What are the Christians who do this following then?

I think people will use religion --- be it Christianity, Islam, Pastafarian, etc --- to justify their actions to themselves. I don't like Islam anymore than I do Christianity (I am kinda down with Pastafarianism). But I can see that the people who carry out these attacks are the minority, not the majority and do not represent the religion as a whole.
