Dab..you crack me up.Your point is right though.Interpretation is the key here.Let me try to help you out though.Followers of Christ were/are instructed to follow one law.The law of LOVE.Love works no ill period.I have tried to explain the difference between the "Old" Testament and the "New" Testament before here and I hope you will understand that the "Old" Testament and it's specific laws were laid down in a time "Before" Christ....After Christ's crucifixtion on the cross...ALL humans have only ONE way into the kingdom of God and that is thru Jesus Christ.....Period.There are no more laws except one...LOVE.In that if you...LOVE....and really LOVE God ...well then you probably won't want to have slaves...or kill...or steal...or do anything ill twords another human being or Yourself....
I do not know one Christain alive today that is saying they are living according to the Old Testament.....All I am trying to say and get at is...hum...what do Christians really go by?...they go by what was laid down by Jesus Christ....In the New Testament..NOT the Old.
Now...the point I think myself and Avon and maybe others are trying to get at is....WHAT?....do Muslims of today actually interpret as the correct way to follow there belief....that's what I want to know....Cause I am Telling you NOW...that I do not and am not under the Old Testaments commands...I am under the New..so plz do not try to draw comparisions between Muslims and Christians because any Christian you ask is going to tell you the "New" Testament is what they follow.
I can't get a straight answer from one Muslim on this board and I suspect that reason is that they are instructed to follow ALL of the Koran to the letter....I have asked before I ask again to any Muslim here....WTF do you believe in and what part or parts of the Koran are subject to personal discretion or interprettion.
P.S. Hitman...tonight I will write as to what is to be done about it actually just had to address the comparision between religions...they are all as different as the rainbow from what I see.
