They are defending the non-existent "right" of Muslims to come into this country and form a majority so they can impose sharia law. I hope Hillary likes her burkha, and likes walking four paces behind Bill.

KB, we are not robots. The crowd who called for Barrabus to be released called for a nurderous thief to be released, instead of Jesus. They are like today's secularists and liberals, who would choose the murderous Mohammed to the innocent Jesus.

I love all Muslims and only desire their conversion and salvation.

But do you see a parallel between Bareabus and Mohammed?

Not all liberals support Mohammed or Islam, no.

We are all aware of the curious liberal phenomenon of them seeming to prefer Islam to Christianity. "Islamaphobes" they call anyone who points out the horrible barbaric conditions people live under in Muslim-majority countries. You'd think Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton would rather wear burkhas than read Bibles.

I think this is an example of the devil at work. The devil inspires hatred of Jesus among liberals and secularists, hatred so strong that they would obey the shariah law over the much milder God-given ten commandments. They are like the crowd before Jesus' execution who preferred that the murderer/robber Barrabus being set free than innocent Jesus, Barrabus here being a prefigure, or type, of Mohammed.

What do y'all think?

Barabbas and Mohammed? Me?

I could care less about either. ...

Every Muslim who is a true Muslim supports Muhammad. There is NO such thing as a moderate Muslim.

History has shown their desires have ALWAYS been to infiltrate and overtake whatever land their feet travel to. Because of this, the males aim is to conquer the vulnerable at every turn and this includes women and children.

They do not belong in the USA! Because of their evil Islam, they do not desire to assimilate into any culture; once their numbers grow in any land they migrate to they begin to create havoc and demand laws to be changed to include their Islamic beliefs. There are so many countries they have migrated to and are destroying.

I just heard that last week. It was in 2014?

What does Galatians 1:8 have to say about that and that Pope?

Throughout Paul’s epistle to the Galatians, saving grace—the gift of God—is juxtaposed against the Law of Moses, which cannot save. The Judaizers urged a return to the Mosaic Law as the source of justification, and they were prominent in the early church. Even Peter was temporarily drawn into their web of deceit (Galatians 2:11–13). The themes connecting Galatians to the Old Testament center on Law vs. grace: the inability of the Law to justify (2:16); the believer’s deadness to the Law (2:19); Abraham’s justification by faith (3:6); the Law’s bringing not God’s salvation but His wrath (3:10); and love as the fulfillment of the Law (5:14). Believers are the spiritual children of Sarah, not Hagar—that is, we are children of the freewoman, not children of the slave; we have more in common with Isaac, the son of promise, than with Ishmael, the son of human effort (4:21–31).

The books of Galatians and James deal with two complementary aspects of Christianity. Galatians highlights the gospel of grace that produces righteous living (Galatians 3:13–14). James highlights the righteous living that proves faith. There is no conflict; James, too, emphasizes the new birth through the gospel (James 1:18), and Galatians spends its final two chapters applying the doctrine of sola gratia to practical Christian living.

One of the main themes of the book of Galatians is found in 3:11: “The righteous shall live by faith.” We must stand firm in this truth. Any compromise with legalism or the mixture of human effort and the grace of God for salvation leads to heresy. If we could be saved through the keeping of the Law, then Jesus did not need to die (Galatians 2:21). Trying to save ourselves nullifies grace.

Not only are we saved by faith (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8–9), but the life of the believer in Christ—day by day, moment by moment—is lived by and through that faith (Galatians 2:20). Not that faith is something we conjure up on our own—it is the gift of God, not of works (see Ephesians 2:8–9)—but it is our responsibility and joy to exhibit our faith so that others will see the work of Christ in us and to grow in our faith by the application of spiritual disciplines (Bible study, prayer, obedience, etc.).

Jesus said we would be known by the fruit of our lives (Matthew 7:16), which should give evidence of the faith within us. All Christians should be diligent in striving to build upon the saving faith within us so that our lives with reflect Christ and others will “glorify your Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16, NKJV).

The Bible teaches that it is Scripture that is to be used as measuring stick to determine truth from error. In Galatians 1:8-9, Paul states that it is not WHO teaches but WHAT is being taught that is to be used to determine truth from error. While the Roman Catholic Church continues to pronounce a curse to hell, or “anathema,” upon those who would reject the authority of the pope, Scripture reserves that curse for those who would teach a different gospel (Galatians 1:8-9).

While the Roman Catholic Church sees apostolic succession as logically necessary in order for God to unerringly guide the church, Scripture states that God has provided for His church through the following:

(a) Infallible Scripture, (Acts 20:32; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Matthew 5:18; John 10:35; Acts 17:10-12; Isaiah 8:20; 40:8; etc.) Note: Peter speaks of Paul’s writings in the same category as other Scripture (2 Peter 3:16),

(b) Christ’s unending high-priesthood in heaven (Hebrews 7:22-28),

(c) The provision of the Holy Spirit who guided the apostles into truth after Christ’s death (John 16:12-14), who gifts believers for the work of the ministry, including teaching (Romans 12:3-8; Ephesians 4:11-16), and who uses the written Word as His chief tool (Hebrews 4:12; Ephesians 6:17).

While there have seemingly been good (humanly speaking) and moral men who have served as pope of the Roman Catholic Church—some point to Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, and Pope Francis I as examples—the Roman Catholic teaching about the office of the pope should be rejected because it is not “in continuity” with the teachings of the New Testament. This comparison of any church’s teaching is essential, lest we miss the New Testament’s teaching concerning the gospel and not only miss eternal life in heaven ourselves but unwittingly lead others down the wrong path (Galatians 1:8-9).

What the writer of this article forgets is that it was the Catholic Church that put the Bible together in the first place, and that the New Testament was written by eight Catholic bishops, namely Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, Peter, James, and Jude.

And just because we have grace does not mean that we are automatically saved. All it takes is the commission of one mortal sin and grace is lost. (Grace can be regained with sincere repentance and Confession.)
