How is he going to get statistics on people killing in the name of Allah?[QUOTE="Snipes_2"][QUOTE="GreySeal9"]
You think that pasting together some incident proves your points.
If you want to prove a trend, use statistics.
I'm not going to take anything less than statistics seriously, especially not your garbage link.
Let's try to keep our standards high.

That's his problem, not mine.
He made a point about a trend. Evidence of trends need to be statistical.
You don't need statistics to see a trend among people saying things. Statistics are provided for trends in murder etc...Not words.[QUOTE="GreySeal9"][QUOTE="Snipes_2"] Nowhere does it say that. As far as I know, people of other religions and such have just as much chance to get to Heaven as Christians, God never Condemns non believers to Hell. bbkkristian
You're not correct. Christiianity says that believing Jesus is God is the only way to heaven.
Well Every non believer has a chance to go to heaven, huh?And to go to heaven. they must become a believer.
I don't feel like wading through spin so lets just be frank.
[QUOTE="GreySeal9"]If you want to prove a trend, use statistics.foxhound_fox
It goes a lot further to present actual statistics than to just make hand-wavy claims though... which is what was happening...
[QUOTE="Snipes_2"][QUOTE="ohdearohdear"]Jesus said 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the father but through me'. So yes, heaven is Christians only apparently.ohdearohdearIt's not Christians only...You don't have to be a Christian to get to Heaven. As long as your religion has a custom that rids you of original sin, then you have as much chance as anyone. Way to totally ignore the quote. Can you provide me with a link to this quote, where exactly did you get it from? Furthermore, that quote doesn't mean everyone is condemned to hell.

I realize that, but I'm just making the point that cherrypicking from Hopeless does not a point make.
I'm not saying that statistics alone can prove his point.

Simply pasting together some incidents does not prove your point. Why in the world do you think it would? You didn't even read the whole ****ing post apparently...how about you go back and read the quotes and statements i posted made by those who follow Islam in which they state that they kill in the name of Allah....
I'm not saying that there is statistics. What I am saying is that if you're going to make a claim like that, then you'd better have some. How about you just use your critical thinking skills, based on many of the claims..(of which you have apparently not read)..made by those who follow Islam and kill other human beings..supports the claim that it is indeed a trend..

But you don't.
I skimmed over the stuff you posted.
You seem to be mad that I'm not taking your post seriously, but you stated that there are trend, and then you supported it with a post that amounts to cheerypicking. Nobody is denying that some people kill in the name of Allah which is all you've proven.
If you want to establish a trend, you need to go beyond what you've laid out in your post.
I mean, if you're going to make a statement, it doesn't look very good to support it in the most lazy of ways.
If you can't adequately support your statement with substantial methods, then maybe you shouldn't make the statement.

I'm no expert in theology but it seems far more likely to me that "unbelieving" would refer to those who do not believe in the Christian God...

Of course he wouldn't condemn his disciples to hell. They're his disciples. They'd be going to heaven. :/ The Bible makes it absolutely clear that only through faith can one be saved: Heb 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. And here, it is made clear that one cannot be saved by works: Titus 3:5 He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit Without Faith, I.e., without Religion or belief in God. That next quote is saying God saved us through his mercy, not because of what we did on Earth.

The Christian is being loving, but the religious dogma remains hostile.
I put 14:6 into context. He's comforting his disciples, he notes there are many rooms in Heaven as well. ...Ok? What does that have to do with the treatment of other religions? He's saying there is room in heaven for his buddies. I think you're taking rooms as in places for other religions? I don't think heaven would be segregated but maybe I'm just a silly liberal. "I don't need to back it up with quotes from the Bible because it never states such things.
