Explain why spreading the "truth of Christ" requires you to spread lies about other religions, such as the idea that Wiccans (so-called "white witches") worship the Christian devil. (Incidentally, they don't, and this rumor has been persistently spread by Christians since the second century CE).Explain why Christians (that includes all branches of Christianity) have spread the lie that Jews put Jesus to death when, in actuality, it was the Romans who put Jesus to death. (For a good example of New Testament anti-semetism, see 1 Thessalonians 2:15).
Explain why the Christians are spreading the lie that Muslims worship Mooon God when infact they donot? Dr.Morey also quoted from William Montgomery Watt. But Watt says on page 26 of his book that the Arabic word Allaah is similar to the Greek term ho theos which we know is the way God is referred to in the New Testament.
Dr.Morey quoted from Kenneth Cragg’s book entitled The Call of the Minaret. However, on page 36 of Kenneth Cragg’s book we find the following: "Since both Christian and Muslim faiths believe in One supreme sovereign Creator-God, they are obviously referring when they speak of Him, under whatever terms, to the same Being."
Further on the same page, Cragg explains that the One whom the Muslims call Allaah is the same One whom the Christians call ‘the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.’ although the two faiths understand Him differently.
Dr.Morey should know that as a scholar he has the academic obligation to quote honestly. He should also know that as a follower of Jesus, on whom be peace, he has an obligation to speak the truth.

Christians do not. I, personally, don't know anything about wiccans, so I won't argue that. It was the Romans that actually crucified Jesus. But it was because of the Jews that the Romans crucified him. The Romans did not want to. It had to be done or there would have been uprisings though.
Also, just because they say Muslims worship the moon god doesn't necessarily mean they are spreading lies, they could just be mistaken. You shouldn't jump to conclusions.
By the way, Muslims and Christians do not worship the same God. That is a very common mistake. If you wish to know my reason for saying so then E-mail me.

How else are they going to cover up the slaughter that happened every time a land of "savages" were shown the way... the light of God that all Christians know in their heart... through fear and death. Not all members of the religions practice those ideas, but perhaps because capturing people through lies is human, and after all who came up with religion but humans. maybe once people stop being so self righteous and allow the idea that they don't know everything and that someone else might have a better grasp on something than they do... perhaps life will be better?

Look , I will lay down the cards for your sake but you must not tell others, OK, cross your toes and if you do you will be run down by an ant.
You see it is for your money and women we are doing this. Please don't blame us for your God gives you so much money and ours so little and our women are all not as beautiful as yours. If we don't lie , How on earth can we have all the things you are bless. Thank God that He did not gives you brain of craftiness and your thinking are so innocent.
So we play with your mind so as we could achieve what we desire of your property and women. Actually we thought we can fool you all the time and if not because of our own betrayer we could have succeed and live a luxurious life and even could make you a slave without you realizing it .
Well, sad, all things don't last but since we are so smart we will find other ways soon so we can have the best without working hard.

It doesn't and most Christians do not do that, but you are right the zealous fundamentalist, legalistic types do, but so do Islamic fundamentalists, it's not just Christianity.
You are also right many right wing Christians do assume much about Wicca that they really don't know.
Mainstrean Muslims and Christians don't do that. Fundamentalism is dangerous in any religion.
Jews really don't do that, for the most part.
Primpa: Islam is not a cult! Wicca is not a cult! Islam is a very old religion practiced by almost as many people as is Christianity. And people of Islamic faith worship the same God we do, as do the Jews. Also spreading our Christian faith does not require running others down, JESUS taught that explicitly.

...all "religion" is man-made... God has no use for "religion".
Read the Scriptures... Yeshua (you know Him as Jesus) clearly said "He was the Way, the Truth and the Life". Remember, the Promise of God was given to Abraham, NOT Ishmael, who abandon the faith with Hagar and went out on their own... The false prophet, Mohammad was unable to read to write and after seeing a piece of common "space- junk" fall from the sky (a common piece of a meteor) he thought it to be holy, he had "others" write down his "rants" and dreams in his book... Christianity sadly has "skewed" the Words of God... Following Yeshua doesn't...

Allah was the name of the Moon God. They do not worship the moon god, because they have adopted the name in reference to the God, the one God. Even Christian Arabs will have in their Bibles the word 'Allah', This much I understand.
What many do not realize is that words can have more than one meaning. They take on other meanings as time goes on.

I am Jehovah´s witness and we suffer the same they spread that we don´t believe Jesus is the son of God that is merely a man despite of that in billions of publication we talk about Jesus rulership in earth. in our case we use the bible even the same one they have in their hand to show them that what we believe is in their bible either.

This is the second time you've asked this question in the last 5 minutes. I don't think repeating yourself will prove very effective.

some people call any negative comment about their religion slander and "lies."
if those negative charges are true, and affect the salvation of those involved, it'd be wrong for anyone knowing the truth to not share it.

Too many generalizations. Who made all these accusations. If the criticism is from one person talk to him, don't blame Christians in general. Incidentally, who do Wiccans worship?
