Islamic law forbids the construction of new churches. Christians are “forbidden to ring church bells or display crosses, recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display of their funerals and feastdays, and are forbidden to build new churches” – Reliance of the Traveller o.11.5 (6,7)
“Mob Damages Church Building in Indonesia,” International Christian Concern, August 24, 2023:
08//24/2023 Indonesia (International Christian Concern) – The Pentecostal Missionary Church in Kabil Village, Indonesia, was recently destroyed by a radical mob that was protesting its construction in a majority-Muslim area.
Church Pastor Jacksean Napitupulu estimated that a mob of about 30 people caused considerable damage to the newly constructed building. Local residents had complained about the church and questioned the legality of its building permit over the past three years.
In Muslim-majority Indonesia, it is common for non-Muslims to face obstacles as they seek church building permits from the local government. Even if pastors succeed in getting permits, authorities often give in to hardline groups’ protests and demands that stops construction….

OT Notice, this guy doesn’t know even a little about God or the Bible or what a church is for. “Even if we are sinners”…and he wants priests to “evolve” in their view of what constitutes a “sin.”
“Is Pope Francis Redefining the Catholic Doctrine? His Controversial Declaration to Transgender Youth Explored”
“During the podcast, Giona bravely expressed their struggle with the conflict between their Catholic faith and transgender identity.
In response, Pope Francis reassured Giona that God’s love is unconditional, affirming that God loves us as we are, regardless of our flaws or struggles.
He said, “Even if we are sinners, he draws near to help us. The Lord loves us as we are, this is God’s crazy love.”
“While acknowledging that some priests within the Catholic Church consider queerness a ‘sin,’ Pope Francis expressed hope that their attitudes would eventually evolve”
And we all know what the believes about mozlums, their hatred of Christians and how Christians should respond to that hatred.
In his view, all Christians who stick with the Bible, need to change their ways and “evolve.”
The Christians in indonesia just need to be more accepting of what the mozlums do to them and their property.

The banning of the Bible is ridiculous when you read
“If thou muhammed art in doubt concerning that what WE reveal unto thee,then question those who read the scripture that was before the{BIBLE}”
Koran 10:94
islamic scholars say the Bible was corrupted to stop muslims checking it out: koran 10:94 is a way muslims can check it out .But then they will see the koran is FALSE if they do that.
“And verily We gave unto Moses the scripture”
koran 2.87
“And verily we gave the children of Israel the scripture and the command and the prophethood”
koran 45:16
“he hath revealed unto thee muhammed the scripture with truth,confirming that which was revealed before it as he revealed the Torah and Gospel”
koran 3:3
Bible scholars should look at what the koran teaches as it does confirm the Bible.
No surprise that recitations or reading the Bible might be banned!
The koran shows the Bible to be TRUE but the Bible shows the koran to be FALSE.
The Law of Moses{Torah} was never changed.
Note that the 2 chief comandments{the whole of the law} and the Golden Rule{the meaning of the Law] as explained by Jesus Christ ,cannot be satisfied by what the koran teaches
And Bible Scholars: you might look at koran 5:116:that’s NOT an omniscient mind speaking.he has no clue about christian Theology.
OLD GUY says
It’s OK if muslims burns a christian church or bible. But burn a Qur’an and the whole world is turned up side down.
A holy war has been declared on Christians and Jews along with all other non-islamic religions. And the only ones who admit to it are the Islamic leaders and their followers. The rest of the world seems to just put it on ignore and open our borders to the invasion of ISLAM.
