I will also tell you some names of people (I doubt if I have to) who live by the code of this book…
“Samaria [Iraq] shall become desolate;
for she hath rebelled against her God:
they shall fall by the sword:
their infants shall be dashed in pieces,
and their women with child shall be ripped up.”
“And when the Lord thy God hath delivered [a city] into thine hands, thou
shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: But the women,
and the little ones… shalt thou take unto thyself… But of the
cities of these people, which the Lord thy God doth give thee for an
inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth.”
“And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite
them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor
show mercy unto them.”
“Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city [of nonbelievers] with
the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and
the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.”
“Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare
them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep,
camel and ass.”
So do Tony Blair and George W. Bush...They implement this womb ripping, genocidal dogma and call the Muslims terrorists...And the mod Muslims put their trust in them...Once bitten twice shy...But for the mod Muslims and the mod Muslim rulers, the American teeth on their behinds again and again are a welcome cosmetic to their already depreciated Emaan and afterlife...:)

Why not, AAG?
I once had the opportunity to visit a different denomination than my own and immediately noticed they want to use/take Holy Communion. Realizing that various denominations don't look kindly on "outsiders" taking part in their sacraments, I approached the leader of the church and asked if I may join. He only asked me one question: "Do you love Jesus Christ." That was the only requirement. I believe he is more correct than many other.
where did you get these verses from? from a christian site or Muslim site? I'm just curious to know, please post the source if you still have them, thanks.
I don't think jews or christians follow these books anymore...

Thanks for replying; however, you didn’t reply to my questions properly as I asked you to tell me which site you got these verses from. I wanna know where did the bold part above came from because it’s incorrect. For your info, Samaria is a city of Palestine. It’s not Iraq. (please check this out)
ps.
I’m a Muslim but I would never give incorrect info about others’ religions because I don’t want others to do that to my religion either and I think that’s how it should be. So I hope you delete the word Iraq from that verse after reading this post. Thanks!
Samaria is not only a city in Palestine but many other ancient cities…There are many Samarias…And anyway, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan…They are just places…What I meant was to bring to light the the context of the verses…
Please don't be confused. I agree, there are some other cities or places named Samaria but the one that's talked about in Bible is now the city in Palestine and the fact is, they call it "biblical city of Isreal" and there's no samaria in Iraq. I know what you're trying to show others and I'm with you on that but I just didn't think it's right to make changes in others' religious scriptures. Well, that's just me. Anyways, nevermind about what I said.

Well the way I was taught that Holy Communion is a sacrament. A catholic must learn what it means to take the sacrament and mostly do not take the sacrament from anyone but a priest.
In the catholic religion I was brought up in one must take classes before experiencing Holy Communion.
And because most Catholics do not preach hellfire, like most baptist preachers do.. nor do they memorize bible phrases. At least not at my school or church. It wasn't done.
Surprizingly, my school did teach me of the Tigress and Euphrates and of Mohammad a little. Perhaps I flunked that lesson, I can't remember. But thats where I came to believe that God is for everyone and shows himself in many different ways for all people. Not just catholics, not just muslims, not just jews. Everyone.
