MUSLIMS LEAVING ISLAM FOR CHRISTIANITY

[capner]

I just love the way the secularists love to talk about the inquisition and the KKK. They make two common mistakes: first, they fail to put matters into proper perspective and second, they love to talk about the brutality of early Christians without ever realizing that early Christians did NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE SCRIPTURES !!
Perspective from thereligionofpeace.com:

So, you think the Ku Klux Klan
and the Spanish Inquisition are bad?
So do we, but...
Put the Numbers in Perspective


More people are killed by Islamists each year than in all 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition combined. (source)

Islamic terrorists murder more people everyday than the Ku Klux Klan has in the last 50 years. (source)

More civilians were killed by Muslim extremists in two hours on September 11th than in the 36 years of sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland. (source)
19 Muslim hijackers killed more innocents in two hours on September 11th than the number of American criminals executed in the last 65 years. (source)

Also, secularists conveniently refuse to mention the many millions killed by secularists like Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, and the leaders of the Chinese revolution...... and many others. Even lately the North Vietnamese and the muslim/secularist of Burma. Hell, even Sylvester Stallone is onto the Burma situation.

All right we are sort of going into too many topics, so let's deal with this one thing at a time. First the canon.

[FreePower]

In particular, the very early Christians did not regard any part of the New Testament as scripture. Later, in developments of the second, third, and fourth centuries, Christians gradually put together patterns of usage that amounted to canons. In the fourth century, when the "bishops took a vote on it," compromises were made between regional church traditions to reach a list of our 27 New Testament books.

The historical argument fails, and the appeal to believers is unsatisfying to unbelievers. Scholars agree: there is no ancient canon, no warrant from Jesus or apostles to use a particular set of books; and there is no one set of clear criteria that can be used to judge whether a book should or should not be canonical, however before you ask me why a certain book was not inserted, you should know what is written within that book, its historical value and why it was most likely rejected.

Furthermore I have not studied the NT Canon in great detail, only what the internet offers me, it would be wise for you to read and research from authoritative minds regarding this subject.

This site would be good for further reference and questions regarding arguments.

Peter recognizes Paul's writing as scripture.

2 Peter 3

15Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

Paul is referring to the scriptures about Jesus ressurrection.:

1 Corinthians 15
3For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
