    Are you saying Christians don't?

    Of course Christians do, which is why we are spreading the Gospel throughout the globe, especially to Muslim people. Did you see my other thread about Gospel coloring books for children in Israel (both Palestinian & Jewish)?

    And check this out:

    www.jesusfilm.org

    My post was in direct response to your question - you asked why we aren't concerned about a Jewish postage stamp & I told you why.

    So now you are changing the subject to something else because you didn't like the answer? Please, John....this tactic is called baiting & switching. :D

    Yes, I say it blatantly. Christians often preach love, but practice it sparingly. That is one of our biggest flaws as a faith. Not loving as the Savior commanded.

    Did you see my other thread about Gospel coloring books for children in Israel (both Palestinian & Jewish)?
    Yes, I think that's fine.

    This film has been around since I was a kid. I'm glad people are using it to spread the gospel, but I've found it to be lacking in several areas. I feel there are are better films about Christ's life out there. But that's just my $.02, and there's no need for the thread to go in that direction.

    My post was in direct response to your question - you asked why we aren't concerned about a Jewish postage stamp & I told you why.
    But that doesn't tell me why the USPS should be allowed to print Jewish stamps, but not Muslim stamps.

    So now you are changing the subject to something else because you didn't like the answer? Please, John....this tactic is called baiting & switching.
    Not at all. Jesus clearly didn't seem to treat the Romans any differently that he treated the Jews. Yet we as Christians seem to treat Muslims differently that the Jews. I think it's contrary to what Jesus would have done.

    I suggest you read the first Amendment and tell my why Muslim postage stamps should be excluded.
