Tell it on the mountain

Star-Telegram | Kristine Christlieb:
“May we not seek the destruction of our enemies but their heart-felt conversion to Jesus. Let us not occupy Muslim countries but rather their minds and hearts. Let us be resourceful in finding ways to show our love and concern for the people of the Middle East. And finally, may we be courageous and unafraid to speak the truth in love, even if it costs us our lives. ”
Ed Cognoski responds:

Ms Christlieb (sic) correctly identifies the holiness of Jesus as a major reason for the spread of Christianity. Another factor, unmentioned but permeating the column, is proselytizing. Christians make up a pushy, holier-than-thou and you'd-better-know-it religion.

Ms Christlieb praises Jesus for being "sinless" and says Muslims have to defend Muhammed for his supposedly sinful life.

Ms Christlieb calls on her fellow Christians to "occupy" the minds and hearts of Muslims.

Maybe Muslims feel threatened by having their homelands invaded by Christian armies. Maybe Muslims don't like Christians coming into their homes and calling their prophet evil. Maybe Muslims just want Christians to leave them alone.

Of course, Christians have similar feelings. Religions are more alike than they are different. Really. Maybe Ms Christlieb should come down off her high mountain and take a few comparative religion courses herself. She could benefit from learning the good that underlies most religions.

There are some horriable things going on right now on earth. And unless you know your Geo politics and geo economics as well as your geo religious movement and what they are all about you to will get swept up in all of these false movements of God.
Jesus Christ is the only way to God the Father who is our creator and it is Jesus Christ who went to heaven and it is God the father who sent the Holy Spirit to us so that we might find him in our hearts if we repent of our sins. Plan and simple. I tell your the truth unless you are born again you will not see the kingdom of God. There is no other way to God the Father all other things are either of Satan the Dragon or the Antichrist who is the zionist in Israel this are the guys that call themselfs Jews but are of the synogue of satan, or the false profit who is the false church of god. Understand these things and come away from them and turn to God your father in heaven while there is still time. If you are all ready a Christian than you will understand I pray by the Holy Spirit of these things I speck of.
Please Read the artical with patiants. Yours truly Jack.
