GOOD GREIF! How in the world could one come to such a conclusion that Islam is a threat to Christianity?
Bret responds,
Good Grief! How can anyone who knows anything about Church history not conclude that Islam can be a threat to Christianity in different times and places? Was Islam not a threat to the Northern littoral of Christian Africa before it overthrew Christianity in those places? Was Islam not a threat to the Middle East Christians of the Levant before Islam finally swept over those Christian peoples conquering them? Was Islam not a threat to Vienna before Joseph Sobieski won the day in 1683? So, I say again that Islam is once again a threat to Christianity just as it was in the examples given above.
Quit being dense.

God has promised His Kingdom would advance, which means Islam, nor even the gates of hell will prevail against it. God has made no such promise of the United States. Therefore, with the Unites States, or without it, The Kingdom of God will continue to advance. It seems we have those who cannot separate The Kingdom of God, from the United States.
Bret responds,
It seems we have someone who never excelled at reading comprehension skills.
All because Islam will not ultimately prevail against the Kingdom of God does not mean that Islam cannot be a threat to Christianity in a particular time and place. One day Christianity will return to the Northern littoral of Africa and those lands which were once Christian and are now Muslim will once again be Christian once again. However, that does not change that before the sons of Allah rolled across the Northern Littoral of Africa that gates of hell did, for a season, prevailed against the Kingdom of God in those places in the sense that the Kingdom of God was not the ruling motif in those lands and Christ was not owned as Priest and King by majority of the population in those lands.
Having said that, given your lack of intelligence you’ve displayed so far, I sense I need to qualify the above paragraph by also saying that the Kingdom of God was still present among the Redeemed who still lived in those lands under the boot of Islam.
I completely reject your assertion that Christians are not told to take every thought captive to make them obedient to Christ and that II Corinthians 10: has nothing to do with all Christians taking every thought captive to the end of demolishing strongholds.
