I have been reading much here lately. Thank you to those that have been patiently answering my questions. One thing I have read is that there are 101 contradictions in the Bible. I have seen websites that list some, but I would really like to learn what they are and the Muslim perspective thereon. Thank you.
That doesn't even follow. I'm very secure in my own beliefs. But I also very much enjoy learning, challenging, and being challenged by others, and so it is I enjoy being here on this Muslim forum, even though I am not Muslim. And though I also believe in converting people to Christianity, you will not find one post of mine that has been an attempt at proselytizing, for I try to respect that this is not why others are on here even when they ask me questionas about Christianity. (Though of course, if anyone was interesting in learning more about and actually becoming a Christian, I would accommodate them as best I could and direct them to a local congregation.) So, it is that I am part of a Muslim online forum, because it provides me the opportunity to study many beliefs, and to speak about my own when asked.
Dear Gene:
... why do assume this post was directed at you???? why not read three four threads back and tie them with other comments also in this section to discover what does or doesn't follow?..... I am all for the opportunity to learn and grow and for interfaith relations.. what I despise and will not tolerate however, is the cruel and cutting edge and scathing undertone of some posts I find lying here and there...
peace!
Text without context is pretext If your opponent is of choleric temperament, seek to irritate him

I didn't think it was intended for me. But I guess I'm an equal opporutnity critiquer. I just didn't think that that one sentence was logically consistent with itself. As I see it, if it was, then it would apply not only to whom ever you intended it for, but to anyone else who read it as well. And I don't think it does apply to me. That's why I said it didn't follow, even if the point you were trying to make with regard to whomever might be true.
Oh, and btw, the reason I didn't refer back several posts, is because I understand most posts as either referring to the immediately preceeding post, or being designed to stand on their own in reference to the whole of the thread rather than targeting any one individual, unless that person is specifically quoted.
