Muslim & Christian Discussion ForumPlease try and convince me otherwise.
Are you not understanding what he is trying to say? Is it really that difficult?? Fact: God commanded Moses/Joshua to conquer the Holy Land, even resorting to the killing of women and children. Please Note! God is not being Judged and neither are Moses and Joshua. Fact: Muslims have conquered lands, even in the same manner that Moses/Joshua did. And it is claimed that God commanded it. What everyone needs to admit is that if Islam is to be judged based of the deeds of Muhammad, then Christianity and Judaism should be open to judgement based on the deeds of Moses. And don't forget, Christianity is not independent of what happened in the Old Testament - Christianity is as dependent on the Old Testament as Judaism is. Without the Old Testament there is no basis for Jesus' claim to be the Saviour/Messiah. I know I'm going to be criticised for what I have written here, but people do need to be honest. It is double standards for Christians to honour Moses and then turn around and judge Muhammad based on deeds that were also commanded to Moses by God. It is true that Christianity came at a different time to Judaism, and that there is a time for war and a time for peace, but the foundations of Christianity are in Judaism - so Christianity is not innocent of the bloody conquests by Moses/Joshua. Look, what needs to be admitted is that God can command, and has commanded the killing of civillians in the Old Testament. Islam claims the same divine authority. What needs to be established is that even though God did give the authority to Moses/Joshua, he did not give this same authority to Muhammad... So how do we go about showing that? Lets move on from the Ad-Hominem attacks against Muhammad, and it is Ad-Hominem to disregard someones theological viewpoint because of their sexual or millitary adventures. How shall we now go about showing that God did not command Muhammad to do the things he did? God save us all. |
