OK Christian, what's wrong with this article?

[Just Dave]

I browsed the comments but nobody caught it.

Here's the article.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/muslim-births-expected-to-outpace-christian-births-within-20-years-1491400800

The headline simply reads "Muslim births expected to outpace Christian births within 20 years"

What's wrong with this?

Muslims are Muslims at birth - period. However, those who are disciples of Christ do not become His disciples at their FIRST birth. To be His disciples, we must be BORN AGAIN. As Christ taught Nicodemus,

John 3:1-8

John 1:12 also comes to mind:

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

I figured that would be the case for some so I put the headline (dead give away) in my comment.

Exactly.
Apart from being born again John 1:12 makes it clear we are not born into it physically.
You would think the WSJ would have a grasp on this.

Thats a pretty racist statement and a slap in the face to Islam, but I am sure no one here cares about insulting Muslims or Islam.

Islam and Muslim faith in general is still in the sword era. They are actively spreading the word of Allah, they are actively creating safe places for their religion to grow. Only during the elm era did they not do this.

Christianity on the other hand has stopped their sword era and is in an elm era sorta speak. & That is sorta the problem.

Muslims are creating more Muslim for the sole purpose of spreading their faith. They are moving to new places that are non-Muslim with specific intent to spread the faith.

This is why America (in less than 100 years) will be a Muslim controlled country.

The current trend in Christianity is to allow and get religion into government, instead of multiplying and spreading. This will someday turn on the christian faith.

This website is about the only place you can publicly post racist statements (against Islam and people of middle eastern decent) and not do the same to Christianity. Many places that matter, like Social Media websites, its the other way around. I can publicly blast Christians all day long, everyone will see it, but post an anti-islamic statement and it will be electronically shadowed out.

Not sure which part of your statement is tongue in cheek, sarcastic or serious, so not going to presume anything.

Islam isn't a race. Therefore, to make a point about Islam isn't racist. It is in fact a non-sequitur.

He said Muslim.. as Jewish is a Race so is Muslim.

Islam = the religion, (voluntary submission to God)
Muslim = the people, (one who submits)

But to the point, race isnt real anyway. The last race of Humans, not us, died off 20,000 years ago. We are all breeds, not races.

[mif_slim]

The reason I see why Christians will be 2nd is because we have built an attitude of myob. Islam on the other hand are always up front and talked about every day on media. In a way, their evangelizing without needing to whereas the only Christians doing footwork the laymen, pastors and missionaries. Compare that to the total population of "Christians", it's no more than 10 percent who are actually spreading the Gospel.

When you hear enough of something it becomes true, right? Basically since 2001, I been seeing Islam every single day vs Christians where it is only a handful of times since. If you want to see Christian topics, you have to go look for it, on Christian sites/channels.

Jewish isn't a "race." Where do you get that from?
Muslim isn't a race either.

Not sure where you coming from or going!

Thanks,

Oh boy. No. Pay careful attention. Islam(Muslim as you call it) is a religion. Not a race. Europeans, Africans, Asians, and South Asians are races that participate it the Islamic religion. Islam is not a race.

Definition of Islam
1
: the religious faith of Muslims including belief in Allah as the sole deity and in Muhammad as his prophet
2
a : the civilization erected upon Islamic faith
b : the group of modern nations in which Islam is the dominant religion

The moment you label those whom you disagree with as "racists" you lose all credibility. Would you like to try a civil discussion now?

What exactly is being said about Islam that's helping to evangelize their religion? I don't watch TV. Asking for info.

They are breeding. They are losing badly to conversion.

No, he said Muslims are born Muslims, that is a direct statement of heritage which is commonly referred to as race.

First off, there is no such thing as race when you are talking about Homo-sapiens.

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Primates
Suborder: Haplorhini
Family: Hominidae
Genus: Homo
Species: H. sapiens

Every single person on this planet is the same, with minor variations in DNA handed down by breeding within a smaller community.

One of the other H. Sapien race was Neanderthals. They are GONE.

He clearly said, and I quote, "Muslims are Muslims at birth - period." That is a racist statement about Muslims.

No one is born into Islam. Its a voluntary submission to the will of the God Allah. Just like your Christian God, Jesus Christ.

Now he is going to freak out and say, "NO NO NO, you got to be saved again by..blah blah blah before you can be christian" when that is not the case. Its only his specific church that requires that. Just like only a few Muslims in a few Islamic faiths will do the same thing.
