“NO SUCH THING AS CHRISTIAN TERRORISTS” (WHO ARE THE TRUE CHRISTIANS?)
(Acts 11:26) “And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.”
“When the "enemy" is different, an outsider, it's easier to draw quick conclusions, to develop stereotypes. It's simply human nature: There is "us," and there is "them." But what happens when the enemy looks like us — from the same tradition and belief system? McVeigh and Breivik were both "good-looking young Caucasians, self-enlisted soldiers in an imagined cosmic war to save Christendom ... and both were Christian terrorists," Juergensmeyer wrote.
In a column for Salon.com, Alex Pareene said Breivik is not an American-style evangelical, but he listed other connections to Christianity. "All of this says 'Christian terrorist,'" Pareene wrote.
Such claims drew strong resistance. "Breivik is not a Christian. That's impossible. No one believing in Jesus commits mass murder," Bill O'Reilly said on his Fox News show.” (Yahoo News) Christianity’s foundation is not in religion based on man’s idea and belief, but in the Word of God and in the Lord Jesus Christ. You can’t be a Christian and a terrorist, because Christianity is about LOVE- the love of God and the love of the Lord Jesus Christ- the Savior of the world. (John 3:16) Christians gave their lives to serve and not to kill. We are serving God as a living sacrifice and not to die for the sake of Christianity. (Galatians 2:20; Romans 12:1- 2) Christianity is not a religion but an experience. It’s a “born again” experience through the Lord Jesus Christ. It means a new birth! (John 3:1- 6; II Corinthians 5:17) If you’re a Christian, you can’t be a terrorist and if you’re a terrorist, you’re not a Christian!
