You posted this after I asked you to explain your position on the Muslims and you STILL have not given me a succinct response to this question. Damage control and afterthoughts do not equate to explanation.

Yes Sharp, many will be deceived, "so called christians" are some of the most missled, they used to bind the hands and legs of people, throw them in the river, if they didn't drown, they were witches. If they did drown they were not. I have nver understood that logic. I used to work for a man whom was from Isreal. His father was the number one shamen. He expressed to me that the scripture's were basically a lesson in logic. He would not go beyond that for fear of being persecuted by mainstrem idealogical religon. He was truly in fear of the misled. Remember who it actually was that crucified Christ, It was the leaders of the church/state. If someone thinks that my view on this is incorrect that is fine. Let them find out what the scriptures mean on their own without outside influence. People for the most part have always been afraid of change or new ideas. If any man has an ear to hear let him hear. If not, so be it!

Oh you mean my "Yes" or "No" reply to your other thread didnt cover it?

actually I don't think the muslims read the bible, but the Koran (not sure of spelling) so some may misinterpret that as some christians and others misinterpret the bible.

didn't say what you believed doesn't matter. You don't believe the bible is real and in God so what I or anyone says on these issues really will not matter to you one way or the other I would think. The original transcribers of the KJV even wrote a letter to the readers at the very beginning saying, "we did the best we could do" we may have and could have made mistakes, The readers are advised to research and look things up as well, this letter from them has been taken out of many modern bibles for some reason. A good student of Gods word will not just rely on the bible alone, one should research by as many means as possible that they can find, like the Massorah, Pentateuch or Tora, Septuagint, Apocrypha, even the Dead Sea Scrolls, A good Strongs Concordance, A Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic dictionary, and Interlinear bible with the Hebrew/greek and scripture together. And all of these will have no meaning or purpose to one who chooses not to believe. The Bible itself says that many will not understand, their eyes will be closed and their ears will not hear, nothing wrong with that either, it is for a purpose, because many are sceptical and analytical and just have to have proof, God puts the spirit of slumber on many because he loves them and it is a protection of sorts so that they will not commit the unforgivable sin when the anti christ is here.

Understand what? I was addressing your assertion that "Muslim extremists" have misinterpreted the bible in some respect and have therefore wrongly focused their hateful agenda on Christians. Are you capable of explaining this position or no?

Well what I believe in doesn't really matter now does it? If I believed in the validity of the bible as being the word of god in written format then wouldn't I have even more interest in determining why these erroneous statements were made? As it stands now they are just being pointed out as clearly ludicrous assertions. I dont think you can just say "well it was those crazy old school Jews" and wash your hands of it. The OT was clearly included in the bible for a reason, namely that these authors were felt to be "divinely inspired".
