Once again we see the extremely sloppy citation. Still it doesn’t matter because there is no moral equivalence. No Apostolic would suggest that the colonies developed “divinely inspired” laws and neither do muslims cite this when defending their culture of manipulation and exploitation. When muslim nations seek to raise the marriage age limit, to curtail this practice, Mohammedans always only cite the example of their prophet and his teachings. This is another, in the long list, of prevarications.
About the only good thing I can say about all this is that the local Mohammedan has mastered the art of developing straw man arguments. BTW the Ayatollah Khomeini did not care about this. He did however, care about the example of his prophet and the “blessing” of his deity.

Thank you for inadvertently establishing the fact that you support pedophilia. Because in your mind it is not a “sin”. All you have done is failed miserably to establish a straw man argument that has no moral equivalency. The only time Mohammedans cite such claptrap is to non-muslims to attempt to justify the culture of manipulation and exploitation of children codified within sharia. No Apostolic accepts anything you posted as “divinely inspired”. On the other hand there is no question where islam stands on the issue. You have confirmed this over and over and over.
Once again, in muslim lands when the government seeks to forbid child brides the muslim clerics argue against it solely on the example of Muhammad and his teachings. There is no moral equivalency in anything you posted.
All you have confirmed by your “history” is the fact of man’s depravity. No muslim believes anything you posted is divinely inspired and certainly no Apostolic believes anything you posted is divinely inspired.

Your beliefs condemn all of history, and you have only succeeded in convincing yourself that you are not only better than me, you are better than any person who has ever lived.

LOL! You will accept anything except the Bible! An inadvertent acknowledgment of the depravity of islam and the superior nature of the Bible. Don’t fret. Many people will listen to anything except the Bible.
Yeah I will not argue the merits, or lack thereof, based upon human reasoning. The Bible is the sole arbiter of truth. Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life.
Please reconsider your thought processes here. Sincerely look at this. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid for a while and think about what you are supporting. God gave you a brain and common sense. Is it right for a 50 year old man to consummate a marriage with a 9 year old little girl?

Do you to kindly savor this, wallow in it, engulf yourself in it. I crown you as the king of "better man".
NOTE: Pedophilia is what happens in your sunday schools. We were discussing marriage, in this case a "death til us part" marriage and there IS actually a difference.
You probably don't see that either though. Have a nice day, oh righteous one. Though you cannot rewrite history you are certainly (more than) qualified to write your OWN bible - LOL

You are once again wrong. I do not feel good about any of this. I am thankful that through God’s grace I have found the truth. He has called me out of darkness and into His marvelous light. I would rather hear of you finding a Bible believing church and allow God to call you out of the darkness of islam into His marvelous light.
Note: if you know of the exploitation you mentioned you have a responsibility to report it. So go report it and make the world a better place.
May the goodness of God grant you repentance.
