We scream and raise hell when the left wants to go after our guns because an idiot performs a criminal act and we are full of righteous indignation when the left wants to take our guns because of a criminal. We scream that you shouldn't judge everyone by the acts of a few.
You want to compare Christianity to Sharia law? Really?
Some of you seem to want it both ways. If you expect Christians to be perfect, you need to adjust your expectations because the only perfect man to walk this earth was crucified for it. The trouble is that Sharia Law "evolved" from OT teachings and was what essentially Jewish culture... If you read the OT, life and the Jewish religion were often pretty brutal back then, and that's the problem if people today try to follow its teachings/examples literally... I agree but Christ came to do away with the old law. He established a New Convenant and it replaced Old Testament Law.

It's very offensive that some hate Christ and Christians so much as to use anything to take a shot at them.

Nope: Matthew: 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

That's probably the view of most main stream Christian denominations, but certainly not all.. I suppose you could debate if some of the smaller "sects" are actually Christians, but if their faith centres on John 3:16 and all it means, they certainly are, despite their perhaps less than orthodox interpretations of the Bible... A case in point would be the various Christian groups that still endorse polygamy.. Regards, Peter

I have had encounters with the "Word of Life" Church members. VERY farggin weird. Any upstate guys who go around Schroon Lake has run into them. Jim, I had to do some thinking back. But I am sure we dealt with some of these nut jobs on a runaway case years ago. Real fuggin weirdos, I mean heebie-jeebie weirdos. If I remember right, we had found the kid and made contact with the parents/guardians. Next thing we know a whole van full of folks shows up to "claim" him. Long story short our court system ended up placing him, but those folks straight up freaked me out....I know they were from upstate NY someplace

Is there anything that the Scriptures point to that allows for polygamy?

Is there anything that the Scriptures point to that allows for polygamy? Certainly the Jews of the OT practiced polygamy to a degree and it is allowed under the Torah Law.. Again, I think what we are seeing is just something that was accepted in the culture of the ME in those times and it was adopted and continued under Islam.. Not sure about the NT teaching on the matter..I assume it supports monogamy, but don't know enough to be 100% sure... Of course, that sort of side steps the other issue thrown up by your question: Which Scriptures are you talking about? Various different Christian denominations/sects have different versions of the Bible and the small print is not the same!

Nothing could be further from the truth. No where does the Bible say thou shalt have one wife. According to the Bible a man can have all the wives, concubines, and sex slaves he wants and can afford.

America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.
