And this is why I'm Muslim :/

This


It was a discussion on the Bible and lust.
That self proclaimed devout Christian, thinks lusting for the cashier at Wal-Mart is okay as long as you're not married rolleyes

Sleeeezy. :/

Ugh, so true! And the funny thing to me is, even within Christianity there are people who follow many Islamic rules... I knew Christian people who would not hug, kiss or have sex with the opposite sex other than a spouse, dressed modestly without showing arms or legs or shape of the figure, etc. A lot of good things in the way of lifestyle...

And my other Christian friends made fun of those people! People who claim Christianity is the only way and failing to live a Godly life is shameful are

a) living with little to no reservations about immodest clothes, dating and physical contact, even sex, drinking, drugs, etc
b) mocking the aforementioned Christian minority as "weird", "old fashioned", "crazy", "going too far" etc.

If challenged on this, they would often maintain illogical defenses, like "lust and sex are ok because people have sex in the bible" and "getting drunk is ok because Jesus drank wine". really? really?! confused

Wow...
Lust is a sin. 7 deadly sins ring a bell?
Anyone?

wow... ._. while i myself don't exactly agree with everything said about the lifestyles, i do have to say that excuses are never good... and drinking does NOT equate to getting drunk... i used to be able to dink in moderation before i started partying every weekend. and i didn't have such dramatic freakouts back then because of t. iwas nice and chill, and just relaxed to a little alchaholic buzz and that was it.

I know right ><
Although, with the NUMEROUS denominations (or sects) of Christianity, the only one that really acknowledges the 7 deadly sins is Catholicism.

The rest pick & choose what they want from the Bible depending on their particular denomination.

I would have to look at this from the viewpoint of where I live. I don't think all countries that follow Christianity are like this. If say, I went to Italy, would they think the same? Phillipines?

I think it's because we're in the stupid Bible belt where people hand down religion and pass it around like someone's old t-shirt. True believers are like True believers of Islam I think. They practice it in the correct manner, or they don't.

Just my opinion.

This is why I am a Muslim- The Quran always stays the same. This is what my dad told me, and still does- The meaning never changes (Check any translation and i guarantee you it is the same meaning?, and never did the Quran say something that didn't come true. The Quran never said man wouldn't reach the moon. Stuff like that. The Bible has many versions, and I heard that the people who originally wrote the Bible tried to make it more poetic so more people will convert.
