Let’s just say for arguments sake.

That everybody on earth accepted each other’s beliefs I mean their Prophets.

Just try and imagine it. What would happen? Would we have world war 3 or world peace??

If we accept all the human race as our equal brothers and sisters what would happen?

Would we have a catastrophic war or would we find unity and harmony?

Doesn’t Jesus tell us to love even our enemies?? Doesn’t that include all religionists?

What would be the harm in accepting each other’s religions?
Can Islam accept the teaching about God as the Catholic Church has defined them ?

As the Koran Teachers and the Koran and other documents instructs them to let Christians follow their Faith, as long as the Christian does not try to Compel them to Convert 😉

Can the Catholic Church does likewise?

It’s a matter of appreciating the truth in others beliefs without giving up our own beliefs.

So for instance we can love all humanity and still be an Americsn and love America and live by American laws but it will mean we care for all humanity not just our nation.

So if we are all united then we can solve many of the world’s problems together.

If we all united we could end the Syrian war and end world povert and so many other things.

But if we see each other as enemies and don’t come together these problems grow worse.

For instance if I meet a Muslim and I respect his faith and he respects mine we can become friends true?

But if I go onto websites and say Muhammad was a paedophile and terrorist how am I making a Muslim feel? That is what people do.

If we can just respect others and not say those things and speak good of each other we can change the world.

That’s what this is all about to create a LOVING. world full of GOODWILL.

No one is to be condemned not Catholics or Buddhists or aetheists we are all humanity. We can share our understandings but killing and hating is defeating their purpose.

Just like God doesn’t force you to go to Heaven…the Catholic Church doesn’t force you to do anything… everything is free Will.

quran 8:39 And fight them until there is no fitnah and [until] the religion, all of it, is for Allah . And if they cease - then indeed, Allah is Seeing of what they do.

Where in the teachings of Christ is the equivalent to this?

There is nothing in the Gospels but first this about the Old Testament which you all should know. Next I will quote some passages from it. There times in the history of the Bible as there were in the times of Muhammad when God commanded war.

The Old Testament is an indispensable part of Sacred Scripture. Its books are divinely inspired and retain a permanent value, for the Old Covenant has never been revoked.
Indeed, “the economy of the Old Testament was deliberately so oriented that it should prepare for and declare in prophecy the coming of Christ, redeemer of all men.” “Even though they contain matters imperfect and provisional,” the books of the Old Testament bear witness to the whole divine pedagogy of God’s saving love: these writings “are a storehouse of sublime teaching on God and of sound wisdom on human life, as well as a wonderful treasury of prayers; in them, too, the mystery of our salvation is present in a hidden way.”
Christians venerate the Old Testament as true Word of God. The Church has always vigorously opposed the idea of rejecting the Old Testament under the pretext that the New has rendered it void (Marcionism). (CCC 121-123)

SAMUEL 15:3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and utterly destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”

Samuel

15:18 And he [the Lord] sent you on a mission, saying, ‘Go and completely destroy those wicked people, the Amalekites; make war on them until you have wiped them out.’

1.***Hosea 13:16
Samaria shall bear her guilt, because she has rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword, their little ones shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open. (NRSV)

As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”

Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.

“Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

“So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.

“If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you ahead of time.

“So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

“Immediately after the distress of those days

“‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.

“Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

“Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it[e] is near, right at the door. Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

The Day and Hour Unknown
“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

It speaks to the alienation of believers from their families in the ancient world. Most families didn’t take it too kindly when a family member converted to a foreign religion… this still happens in the islamic world. When a person really becomes a follower of Jesus, it is surprising how even members of a persons family can be in opposition to that . and Jesus knew that would happen .

Put its funny how soon you forget about the peaceful messages Jesus spoke of …such as in Matthew 26:52 Jesus then said, 'Put your sword back, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

Funny How those verses in the Koran are overlooked as well;)

This passage talks about the result that happens to the New Believers in every Age God Gives His Message.

Jesus spoke of this to his Disciples of his Church. Not other new “religions”

Buddha also spoke of a counterfeit religion arising in the last days

there is the disappearance of the true Dhamma when a counterfeit of the true Dhamma has arisen in the world.

Now there are Buddhist monks in Burma preaching a form of Jihad. That is counterfeit and although associated with the name if Buddha not the spirit.

accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/sn16/sn16.013.than.html

If you look at the real spiritual teachings of Buddha like this one:

If some men conquer in battle a thousand times a thousand men, and if another conquer himself, he is the greatest of conquerors. (Dhamma Pada)

Yeah, but who cares Buddha didn’t even believe in God, and they Believe that people can come back as rats ,dogs bulls, and everything inbetween.
 
.

Personally I think it is telling when total and utter blindness sets in:
  • Muhammad said ABC
  • Yes, the Lord gave those instructions to Moses too. Look its ABC.
    (silence)
  • Yes but Jesus didn’t say it.
  • Isn’t Jesus part of the Trinity?
  • Yes.
  • Did the Trinity instruct Moses?
    (silence)
  • Baha’is are so vague. They dodge and weasel and dodge and hang on, let me find that quote about demons and false prophets.
  • Let me repeat that quote again and again and again about false prophets and oh yes, demons and stuff…
Nothing vague here…
