True, tough there's plenty of alleged "Christians" who seem a lot more interested in the few lines of Genesis and Leviticus they can use to justify their prejudices than anything Christ had to say.
Oh really? What lines and what prejudices?


Leviticus 18:32 and 20:13.
Twats who have no problem wearing mixed fibres, getting inked or screwing outside of wedlock are very fond of parroting those lines. Have you never noticed?

In the "No Coincidences?" department, I just came across this link tonight--via Fet, of all places!

Long but (imho) wise and powerful.

Wow, that Muslim person is outright lying in that link!

To even claim that the non-muslim violated the pact especially when Muslims violated the pact first?

Here is the full story:

A member of Tribe A (later allied with Mecca) is murdered by members of Tribe B (later allied with Muhammad).
Tribe A murders a member of Tribe B in revenge.
Tribe B then murders three members of Tribe A in revenge.
After committing these murders, Tribe B joins the Muslim alliance.
In response, Tribe A joins the Meccans.
Tribe A then seeks revenge for the last murders by killing members of Tribe B.

This is detailed in Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 803, in which Tribe A is called the Banu Bakr and Tribe B is the Khuza’a. Although the Khuza’a had started the original chain of murder, the fact that they were attacked by the tribe allied with the Meccans after allying with the Muslims constituted a technical breach of the treaty - which Muhammad then capitalized on by marching his superior forces into Mecca and establishing the authority of Islam by force.

On the surface then, it would appear that the Meccans were the first to violate the treaty. Even though most Muslims admit that the Meccans did not want a war, they still insist that Muhammad was justified in taking Mecca because of the treaty violation.

But, in fact, Muhammad was the first to violate the Treaty of Hudaibiya. Even the Qur’an acknowledges this, which means any knowledgeable Muslim must as well.

The terms of the treaty specified that any Muslim who flees Mecca for Medina (where Muhammad resided) must be returned. But when a group of Muslims did exactly that a few weeks after the treaty signing, Muhammad did not return all of them, but kept the women. A verse from Allah arrived conveniently to justify his decision (60:10).

Today’s Muslims have only one answer for this: Allah gave Muhammad His personal permission to break the treaty. It is an obvious double standard, but one that they are comfortable with, since Muslims believe their religion makes them superior. (It remains unclear as to why Allah had Muhammad sign on to terms that were intended to be violated).

Eschewing technicalities at this point, the apologists then begin to talk of the seriousness of violations, claiming that the killing of those tribe members allied with the Muslims constituted a graver offense. They are correct, of course, but there is yet another piece to the story that drives home the double standard all the more:

As it turns out, Muslims were murdering Meccans after the treaty signing and prior to the revenge killings between the allied tribes!

Bukhari 50:891 tells of a man named Abu Basir who embraced Islam and then killed a Meccan. Muhammad sends the man to live on the coast, where he forms a group of seventy Muslims who support themselves by attacking Meccan caravans. According to the Hadith, he and the other Muslims “killed them and took their property.” Muir words it as follows, “They waylaid every caravan from Mecca (for since the truce, traffic with Syria had again sprung up) and spared the life of no one.”

Attacking and killing Meccans was an obvious violation of the treaty of Hudaibiya, but the victims did not want war with Muhammad and thus did not march against him. Yet, Muhammad jumped on the first excuse to attack the Meccans, even though they were not threatening him. His adversaries wanted peace, but he wanted power. Needless to say, they had little choice but to surrender to him without a fight.


http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/muhammad/hudaibiya.aspx

And THIS is good reading too for the circumstances leading up to why Muhammed said this Verse:Quran (2:216) - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not."

And if you read the whole historical context between Muhammad and the Meccans. They were kind to him, but he was mean to them and derogatory towards their beliefs. They tossed him out after 13 yrs of putting up with his shit!

Then later, he used this miserable excuse of a so-called "pact violation" to trangress against them and take over their whole city. Till today, Mecca is the MOST religious intolerant city in the world, allowing no other religious people inside except Muslims.

This is the legacy. Where is the peaceful role model? Muslims are so good at feigning victimhood.

Perhaps that's what God calls the rest of us to be.

Depending on which God you are talking about. It's pretty hard to obey God's orders for the "rest to be", when he himself does not walk the talk. He has personally commited violence to solve problems too.

Lets assume that person is lying and Muhammad wasn't the aggressor. The verses still represent a time of war when Muhammad was under attack, and they do not call for death for apostates as a whole.

[2:192] - And if they cease, then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
[2:193] - Fight them until there is no [more] fitnah and [until] worship is [acknowledged to be] for Allah. But if they cease, then there is to be no aggression except against the oppressors.

These verses tell me that Muhammad will have mercy towards those who cease fighting. He is forgiving, so long as you're not an oppressor. And that is where it ends. He does not call for the death of those who oppose him (apostates).

Moreover, let me cite the following two versus for you to refute:

[2:256] - There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
[4:137] - Indeed, those who have believed then disbelieved, then believed, then disbelieved, and then increased in disbelief - never will Allah forgive them, nor will He guide them to a way.

How can one be Muslim, then deny Islam, and accept Islam again without being punished by death for denying Muhammad the first time, let alone denying two+ times?

Leviticus 18:32 and 20:13.

You're an idiot who has no fucking idea what you're talking about.

The Levitical laws are a part of the covenant between the Jews and their God. It has no applicability to the Gentiles. (If you don't understand the word, then fucking look it up - I'm not here to educate your ignorant ass).

The old Testament is regarded by Christians as an historical document which lays out the Jewish covenant and contains the Ten Commandments as a general set of guidelines for living. And to be fair, the Jews are punished multiple times for their flagrant violation of the laws, both as individuals and as a people.

The Christian prohibition against homosexuality comes from three - count 'em - three verses in the New Testament. Romans 1:26–27 - which appears to be reasonably clear on the subject. There's also 1 Corinthians 6:9–10 and 1 Timothy 1:8–11 which are possible references to homosexuality, although there's some translational context which indicate they may not.

Regardless, homosexuality is listed as one of multiple vices which are considered undesirable (including lying, gossiping and disobeying your parents).

There's no specific invocation in the New Testament which indicates homosexuality is a sin which should be singled out for special attention. Indeed, the entire premise of the New Testament is that we're all miserable sinners, all equally damned and all amenable to being saved from ourselves.

To the extent, that one of the Apostles, Peter, had a vision in which he was explicitly warned against looking down on someone because of their past.

So. While indeed, some so-called Christians attempt to persecute gay people on the basis of New Testament injunctions against homosexuality, anyone babbling about Old Testament Levitical laws as being the basis for this is a fucking moron.

On the flip side, there's no specific justification for persecuting any specific group of sinners. As far as the New Testament is concerned, being a liar is just as bad as being gay - and while the gay community is no doubt unhappy with that characterisation, it should leave no doubt in anyone's mind that gay-bashers (figurative or literal) are only doing so because they're cunts who want to hurt people who make them feel uncomfortable.

Attempting to imply they're engaging in contradiction because they're ignoring some Levitical laws while obeying others is stupid (because hate is rarely rational) and ignorant (because you're just plain flat out wrong).

You're welcome.

I hope you've told the religious right, because they all seem to prioritise a few random verses of Leviticus over the whole of the New testament apart from Relevations.
(As for no gay bashing in the New testament, have you not read Romans or Corinthians?)
D-: must try harder.

The 150 yr old version of KJV of the bible sitting in my living room bookshelf holds both testaments.
It always has done.
of course it is the anglican version, not the catholic version or any of the "other versions"
Not that I had much truck with KJ version either, but we were taught both testaments.

The KJV is the best written Bible by a mile, although probably not the clearest. It's just a shame that most versions of that don't include the apocrypha.
(Mind you, it is basically a plagiarism of Tyndale's version, but that's a whole other argument.)

Well one need only follow the history of money and banking first with the creation of the 'Jewish Ghetto' the money lenders who didn't consider interest a sin, and were forced to live in a social apartheid, through to the Medicis who invented the modern banking whore, (calling their earnings a commission instead of interest) partnering with the Pope, 5 of which were hung for their transgressions and 3 of whom even...became Pope. (who would hire armies to wipe out the blasphemers)

It's as if the Catholic church were the Sopranos, inviting you in as long as you paid them...and played ball.

You see that's the whole problem of going by (having any faith in) any books actually written by men who ruthlessly sought out power and requiring your piousness or you go to hell or your righteousness allowed you in to heaven or paradise, or dying in martyrdom got you 72 virgins is it...in another version of paradise, when it was all just...political bullshit. So what you have here is...mere conversation.

I preferred the first draft of it, myself - I think it benefited from its German-fluted styling.
