Today, under the pretext of knowledge(gnosis - he is talking about Gnosticism) , heretics rise against the Church of Christ. They pile on their books of commentaries. They claim to interpret the gospel and apostolic texts. If we are silent and do not oppose them with true teaching, famished souls will be fed with their abominations. - Origen

True Islam
Philippians 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
I have often stated privately that the difference between Christian and Muslim martyrs is the one dies for God, the other kills for him.
Same here. A martyr is one who let's himself be martyred, not someone who martyrs others; he who martyrs others would (logically & gramatically) be called a martyrer, not a martyr.
Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! Concise and beautiful. Welcome, Lvka -- couldn't be happier to see you on here.

With the name of God, Peace be unto those who follow the guidance from their Lord.
