Emile,
<<Identifying Islam or modern Judaism as religions that reject Jesus and are thereforeantichrist does not fall under Jesus' warning for us not to judge. These are philosophical and religious systems and not men.>>
But you have judged individuals within these religions and they are men and not systems.
Also, you have not anwswered my question as to how I can grow up within the Jewish educational system within one of the largest Jewish population centers in the World, and never come across the type of teachings that you claim are an ingrained part of that system.
How could not one of my friends even have heard of the type of teachings that you continually claim happen as a normal course of studies within that system? How could all of my friends and acquantances have experience a system that is 180 degrees different from what you say happens?
The point is, that Jewish and Muslim teachings afford a much higher level of respect to Christianity, than you give to those religions.(note that I say you and not Christianity, becasue you fall well outside of the mainstream of Christianity)
The Muslim religion regards Jesus as a great Phrophet and a saint. I was taught only to have great respect for Jesus and his teachings. Yo call others Antichrist and much worse. I think most of the negative expereinces you lay at the feet of others, are sins that you are guilty of. that is my opinion. and also in all liklihood, my last post on this thread.
Good luck to All,
Mark |
