They once said the earth was cooling, and called it 'global cooling', then warned of a new ice age. But that didn't pan out. Then they said the earth was warming, and called it ‘global warming’, while warning of destructive rising seas. But that didn’t pan out either. So they rebranded as ‘climate change’ to catch the temperature both ways, and declare most all unpleasant ones such and warn of grave disasters. But that definitly didn't help and now not many care anymore, because everyone already knew the climate is always changing.
At least now they might see how it was being used to consolidate global power over everyone.
Christians: The Quran and Holy Bible are not equal.
The Holy Bible is far holier, and Christ's lessons far greater. Christ pointed out the narrow path that cannot be traversed with the violence condoned by the Quran.
No surprise viewership is collapsing. I haven't enjoyed anything out of hollwood for the last 15 years (or so). There's better films being made in foreign markets now, and the last good one i recall seeing was Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes. But there's a lot of films i have yet to see between 15 to 125 years ago
Some may say "The Quran and the Gospel and New Testament are equivalent!", but there are key distinctions in reality they prove they're not.
-
Violence is permitted and condoned by Mohamed in the Quran, whereas violence is explicitly condemned and not permitted by Christ in the Gospel. In fact, the only obscure ways it can be justified under the Gospel and New Testament is if you're employed by the state and it commands you to meet violence with stronger violence, or in defense of others, but in all cases it's only for defense and never for vengeance. The Quran, on the other hand, permits vengeance.
-
Christ in the Gospel and New Testament is very clear: "love your enemies", and this is how we ensure we don't act in vengeance. Mohamed via the Quran, on the other hand, has no such decrees. This is why the door remains open to bloody hate.
-
The violence condoned in the Quran by Mohamed ensures that Islam will be unable to separate from the violent factions that read into the violence condoned in the Quran. This means that it will always be at war with itself, despite all the claims of those who follow it for peace (there will be cognitive dissonance with those who follow it for violence) because it has no direction to prevent violence from taking root, and anyone trying to correct it would be ignored (maybe even killed) because they're trying to 'change the words' Mohamed. The Gospel and New Testament, on the other hand, has Christ rebuking his own follower (Peter) for using violence (to cut a soldiers ear off), so such situations of violence or vengeance can't be considered part of following Christianity based on Christ's teachings. Violence and vengeance are actually a heavy burden that prevents people from navigating the narrow path Christ urged us to walk through his example: living peacefully, without violence or vengeance. This is contradicted by Mohamed who lived a life that included violence, vengeance, and killing.
-
Love isn't about forcing, and Christ did not, does not, and didn't teach to force it ("And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them"). Christ presented His faith in God without force, knowing the love would win them over. But Mohamed did use force, and he essentially said "believe what I believe or die", which ties back into several points above. The difference between the two is the same difference between an invitation to salvation and the establishment of a compulsory religious polity.
-
The nature of the founders defines the trajectory of the faith. Christ's kingdom is not of this world, which is why Christianity emphasizes the transformation of the soul and the renunciation of vengeance. A leader who commands armies and establishes a political state inevitably leaves a legacy that ties his faith to the sword and to temporal political power.
These deviations are enough to automatically place the Quran behind the Gospel and New Testament, and proves Christ is the one who aims for a truer and purer peace.
So, when someone says to "Come celebrate Ramadan to remember the Quran", or say , "The Quran and Gospel are equivalent", or even "The Quran is superior to the Holy Bible", they're wrong.
It's useless to engage in it further, as the points above show, because it's like watching a gold medal track race, and after the race is done, the gold medalist Gospel won, but many are celebrating the silver, bronze, or other position (wherever the Quran lands) as the greatest. We all know how much of a waste of time it is to engage with intellectual dishonesty.
