the G-man said:
Lipscomb University theologian Lee Camp told an interfaith gathering yesterday that in order to live peacefully with Muslims, Christians are going to have to give up the idea that there’s anything special about Jesus:

    To live peacefully with Muslims and Jews, Christians must put aside the notion that their faith requires the creation of a Christian kingdom on Earth, a Lipscomb University theologian told an interfaith gathering at the university.

    “We are not going to get very far in our relationship with Jews or Muslims if we do not let go of this idea,” Lipscomb professor Lee Camp said at Tuesday’s conference.

    The unusual gathering of several dozen clergy and lay people was devoted to resolving religious conflict in Nashville and around the world.

    “We need to forsake the Christendom model,” Camp said. “The most basic Christian commitment ... is that we say we believe in the Lordship of Jesus. But, if we claim that, how can a Muslim or Jew trust us, if we say Jesus is the Lord of all Lords?”


That’s very noble. Professor Camp (whom, I'm sure, is not a liberal, nope) is willing to give up core Christian beliefs in order to have a world of peace, love, and fluffy bunnies.

So what did the Islamic spokesman think of this?

    “Every religion has different teachings,” he said. “For Muslims, it’s: Do you believe in one God and that Muhammad is his prophet? I don’t think we can teach individuals that the way you go to heaven in other religions is OK.”




Actually, the latter individual makes more sense than the former. His consistency is more admirable than Camp's Unitarian disposition.
