How can pointing out the false teachings regarding our Lord and Saviour possibly harm Christianity??? I feel it's my duty as a Christian to point these lies out at every turn.

You did a very good job of summarizing the crux issues with Islam. Besides all the other satanic stuff they spout.

Of course the biggest problem is this: Since the eleventh century, a consensus has existed among Islamic scholars that the “Gates of Ijtihad” (or interpretation) are closed. Calling for new interpretations is tantamount to rejecting centuries of Islamic tradition. Appealing to reason also fails as Islam rejects that, as well.

There seems to be a lot of that going on.

EWTN is Modernist Central.

Ensure you don't email that to Mother Angelica who is enjoying retirement.

“I am a Christian.
Jesus Christ died for my sins.
He rose from the dead, conquering death and opening for me the reality of eternal life.
Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour. “

BINGO! We have a winner!

Yes, ever since Mother Angelica left. But I’m not surprised that you disagree.

It became Modernist when she gave up control. I don’t fault her because it was a tough decision on her part, but things changed when she “left”.

RE: appealing to reason fails, as Muslims reject that as well

Nevertheless, the true God is the Logos; reason itself. Somewhere in the fog of their minds, God is there, after all. Christians must assail the Gates of Hell with reason and logic, as well as with Love. Why are we not questioning the illogic of violence against God’s people? If they had truth, why does it set them against one another? Why husbands beating their wives and an epidemic of raping and honor killing and ethnic violence on and on? How can they suggest a worldwide totalitarian rule of Islam would bring peace, when in fact, they fight one another constantly?

It is a sign that the teachings in question do not come from God, but from the enemy, Satan, the devil.

Yet, if my memory is correct, EWTN has presented TLM in its lineup as much as possible.

In all fairness, the Muslims probably question how a Christian West would allow the wholesale slaughter of innocent unborn babies. Yet I see your point. The murdering of babies is not in our Christian beliefs but all the stuff you listed is surely 'justified' by Muslims as in their's.

The Koran is to Islam what Mein Kampf was to Nazism.

I consider EWTN to be a very conservative Catholic Cable tv network when you think of it and very faithful.

You are fogiven of that false accusation.

The contents of Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ is but a children’s book when compared to the Koran, yet the former is much maligned, as it should be, while the latter is called a holy book.

The nation is forewarned of the ominous moral values that Muslims adhere to, but our political ‘leaders’ continue to grant these beliefs protection under the First Amendment.

Should something catastrophic happen to this country, as a result of Koranic teachings, our elected officials must assume all responsibility for not acting prudently.
