I simply asked where is the Christian mandate to justify acts of terrorism. If not Christian manidates can be found as with the quran or even for OT Judaism then one can conclude they did not act on the behalf of Christianity. What you don't seem to get is you don't get to decide what one can believe about Christianity. There are rules and conditions that set a christian apart from any other religion.
One could not act and follow the rules of Islam and still rightfully claim he is apart of Christianity No more than one could build his own religion and call it Christianity.
So again it all goes back to finding book chapter and verse to cover the acts of terrorism. If one can in the NT, then one can consider what was done a Christian act. If not, then special plead all you want and it changes nothing.
(Which BTW is what your whole arguement is. Special pleading)
Quote:I don't need to provide shit from your fairy tales, and I have no desire to wade through them. Said terrorists found what you require, maybe you should go attend one of their pow-wows?So you are basing your whole special pleading arguement on the assumption that the terrorist found a NT passage that supports their actions? What if the terrorist thought they received a direct revelation from an angel or something along those lines? What if they like your buddies in the following posts, don't understand the difference between OT Judaism and NT Christianity?
wow, with amount of research logic that you have put into your rebuttal I can see why you are so certain their is no God.
In truth if you want this discussion to continue down the road your traveling then show me where they used the Christian bible to justify their deeds. otherwise your is not only special pleading, it is also a argument from ignorance.

As per my PETA example just because one considers himself a member of a group does not make him a member. One must follow the rules of said group to be a member. Otherwise actual members can say this person is just claiming to be a member and his actions do not reflect any principles of said group.
Unless You like the op can provide something in the Christian bible that supports these actions you are both guilty of over zealous persecutory thinking.
They should be killed.
"If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you ... Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die."
Deuteronomy 13:6-10
You do understand that the "Holy Bible" repersents 2 different and seperate religions do you not?
If no, then understand the passage you quoted was a command given to the OT Jews. Even modern day Judaism do not follow all of these laws.
Their is a break in the bible that seperates Christianity from OT Judaism. These are known as the Old and New testaments. Everything in the OT or Old Testament relates to OT Judaism, and may not apply to NT (New Testament) Christianity. If Christians were to be OT Jews, we would not have seperated the bible nor ourselves from the OT system of belief.
So what else you got?
