Hi Doc, You will even be more tongue twisted trying to pronounce my last name :-) It will be very wrong of me if I do not explain Peter thesis as you put it. I must have provided a complete different meaning earlier that led you to believe that he is leaning towards the quoran. On the contrary, he had explained the scriptures in the bible and highlighted the contradiction in the Quoran and not the other way. He gave a view on why the Ishmaelites (Arab descendants), Esau who became Edoms have such hates to Israel. Why we need to pray for the Arabs and to be in God's wave of revival as it sweeps over Asia and i.e. we spread the Gospels. I live in an Islamic State, More than 65 percent of the population are Muslims. We are unlike the Middle East. We co-exist with mutual respect towards each others faiths. Although our faiths are almost opposite, we do not condemn nor do they. We have freedom of religion although there are times when one fella in the authorities might have gone overboard but it does not reflect the sentiments of the Gov. For e.g. a local authority in a remote area demolished a church built for the indigenous people because of one idiot in the local council. PM stepped in and the gov compensated for the damage done. I am surprised though that there are christians that are well versed in the Word and yet are so judgemental against someone like Cho Jonggi and all that are associated with him. From what I understand from my church (even my pastor had quoted him in some of his sermons) and other christian bodies in my country, I don't think he deserve such judgements nor should one judge being a christian in direct contradiction to the bible. |

Dear Ngkh, You'll also need to understand American culture. What you are seeing may be an over-reaction to problems here in our country. The idea of religious tolerance is really a fine one. It has helped believers in different religions from killing one another. However, here in the United States, the definition of tolerance is being changed. Tolerance here means that you aren't even to disagree with someone, let alone say that you disagree with someone! It is considered a cardinal virtue. Consequently, if you say that Jesus is "the way, the truth, and the life," you are being intolerant, even if you aren't speaking to anyone in particular. Making such a statement even gets you labeled as judgmental as well as interolerant. Ultimately, if Christians are muzzled, how will they hear the Word of Truth? In Him, Doc |

Doc: Well said! And, as we know, in the U.S.A. there is tolerance for every religion except conservative Christianity. Grace to you, Kalos |
