Apologetics 315: Terminology Tuesday: Irenics

Irenics is defined by Brian Auten on his blog. I knew that there was a difference between discussing Christian doctrine and theology who disagree with on finer parts  but not on essentials and debating with people who don't believe at all. I just didn't know that there was a name for it. Brian's website is awesome!

Answering Muslims: Coptic Girl Escapes Abduction and Forced Conversion

I was appalled at this story.  In Egypt, young Christian women are kidnapped and forced to marry Muslim men and convert to Islam against their will. It been happening since the 1970s in Pakistan and Egypt. I'm glad not all Muslims would condone or agree with such horrible acts. It's a terrible thing that I am certain that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob does not approve of. I'm glad Zeenahom (Suzan) Nady Adly got away and right now she is "safe". I think that every one should  be safe and if you are a young woman in Pakistan or Egypt, it doesn't seem like you are safe if you are a Christian.

Does the Bible and its God Condone Slavery? | True Freethinker

I've been meaning to write an article regarding slavery and why it's not condoned or commanded in the Bible. I've been meaning to write it for a while. Fortunately, Mariano Grinbank, has written a great article. This article covers everything I intended to say. If you think the Bible is immoral because it condones slavery, you need to read this article. I'll give you the gist in one sentence: The Bible does not condone slavery nor was slavery that was practiced in ancient Israel was anything like the slavery perpetrated against Native Americans and Africans and their descendants. Mariano does an an awesome job explaining why!
