The ability to forgive our enemies is the difference in Christians and Muslims.

[Cruz]

Islam, the religion of peace.

[StarCMC]

Wow. That’s an amazing story - thank you for posting it.

[BackInBlack]

“The ability to forgive our enemies is the difference in Christians and Muslims.”

Are you saying you agree with the American peaceniks who want to “understand” our enemies instead of pulverizing them?

[CrawDaddyCA]

...the widow of a martyred Christian told reporters she did not want revenge against the Muslims who killed her husband and two others,...

While I admire her faith, this kind of thinking will destroy Christianity. Muslim animals know that Christians must 'turn the other cheek' according to Christ's teachings.

Sorry, when a religion calls me and my family infidels, and threaten to kill or convert us, my Christian love ends.

[kellynla]

You’re welcome.

I have been reading several articles recently of the MILLIONS of Muslims who are converting to Christianity.

Maybe there is still hope for these people.

We can only hope & pray; because one more terrorist attack in America and every foreign Muslim in America will have to pack up his koran and family and go back to whatever hellhole they originated from.

Our ancestors didn’t risk life & limb to come to this country just so a bunch of muslims could come here, terrorize our women & children and make hamburger out or our families.

I got a story my Pastor told me in church. Seems another pastor had a neighbor that was molesting his 7-year old son. After the initial anger, the pastor forgave the neighbor. The neighbor was terrified of the man he had molested and avoided him all he could. The pastor finally cornered the molester, threw his arms around him, and said, “ I forgive you”. The terrified neighbor broke down sobbing. Suddenly, the pastor’s wife’s illnesses disappeared. His diabetes disappeared. Other good things started happening to them.

Rage and hate WILL KILL YOU, however slowly, every time.

Where I am with regard to that kind of forgiveness is “Please be patient...God’s not finished with me yet.”

[Lurker]

Did the murderers ask for forgiveness and repent?

If they did, then according to Christian doctrine, they must be forgiven.

If they didn't, then this is another empty gesture on the part of some empty headed people who don't really understand Christian doctrine.

And that makes them dangerous to real Christians.

[kellynla]

noooooooo...I don’t understand muslims.
but I do respect people like this Christian woman who could forgive those who murdered her family.
Something that all people including the Muslims could learn something from.

got it? good!

If you’re looking for an argument;
you’re barking up the wrong tree.
I gave up “flame baiters” a lonnnnnng time ago. LOL

Christians must ‘turn the other cheek’ when slapped. Being slapped in the face is an insult, not attempted murder.

Nowhere does the Bible say that we are obligated not to defend ourselves or others against life-threatening attack.

Nor does it say that those who commit crimes should not suffer the appropriate penalty.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Christians are obligated to forgive those who seek forgiveness, especially other Christians.
Highly doubtful if these animals would really seek forgiveness.

[RobbyS]

How empty? To act as Christ did? It is not wrong to act in self-defence, or even to attack those who intend to kill you. But we ought not to do this with malice.

[kellynla]

“Muslim animals know that Christians must ‘turn the other cheek’ ?”

Well if the muslims think that, then they have been misled because for the past 16 years, Christians in the U.S. armed forces have been handing the muslims their asses. LOL

[StarCMC]

Good points ~ and true.

I’d rather see them converted and joining us than fighting us.

[Lurker]

How empty?

Completely.

To act as Christ did?

She didn't.

It is not wrong to act in self-defence, or even to attack those who intend to kill you.

A very true statement which has absolutely nothing to do with my original response.

It’s OK if some people want to forgive the terrorist, as long as there are other people who want to hunt them down and kill them.
