If anyone has to use several verse fragments from many different points in scripture to build a doctrine then it is not of God. If you ever notice how I teach I don't ever quote verse fragments. I use whole blocks of text sometimes complete chapters and even books to drive a point. If a person has to scrap together fragments it is because the bible is silent on the matter. We must endeavor to speak where God speaks and remain silent where God is silent.
Quote: There's nothing to choose between Islam and Jesus. Both have people who "know" and neither has anything but people who "know."That's the thing. In Islam Mohammad and a few other top ranking prophets in that religion were the only one's to 'know' anything of God. God to them does not mingle with common people. only the most holy prophets. So if a muslim tells you he knows allah he either does not understand his religion or he is lying. Because at best he can only know of his God through what his prophets wrote down.
Quote:You report one thing the homosexual Christian reports another. How would I choose between you?ask for book chapter and verse. If it is not found contextually that doctrine is not of God.
