Hassan Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 [quote name='Apotheoun' post='1771658' date='Feb 4 2009, 12:33 AM']Hassan, You constantly make excuses for Muslim aggression. Islam was spread across North Africa, throughout the Middle East, and into Asia Minor and the Balkans by the sword, and it is intellectually dishonest to deny that fact. God grant you many years, Todd[/quote] That has nothing to do with any point I have tried to make on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The topic of this thread is whether or not Christians can pray with heretics and pagans (i.e., non-Christians), and the answer given by the God-inspired Fathers and the ancient councils (local and ecumenical) is that they cannot.

I found this attitude quixotic to hypocritical for the reasons I stated (my point). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sir are the hypocrite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apotheoun Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Nevertheless, as I pointed out a few posts ago: The topic of this thread is whether or not Christians can pray with heretics and pagans (i.e., non-Christians), and the answer given by the God-inspired Fathers and the ancient councils (local and ecumenical) is that they cannot.
