1 | Islam the religion that hates Christians | Luke 6:28 | DocTrinsograce | 241971 | ||
Hi, Justme... As a Christian Jew, I can well understand your feelings. However, our Lord does not call us to walk according to our feelings. Indeed, since the command of our Savior in Luke 6:27-28 does not exclude Muhammadan, Nazi, Atheist, White Supremacist, etc., we must assume that He was speaking even of these enemies. When I meet a Muslim, I say, "As-salmu alaykim." This is very close to the Hebrew, "Shalom aleichem." Usually using the greeting opens the door for later discussion; often, opportunity to share the Gospel. Only rarely has there been animosity when they learn that I am a Jew. Even now, I have several good friends who are Islamists. Many Muslims followed the dictates of the conscience better than I had done as a Jew. If God in His grace could save a sinner like me, I have every confidence that He can save any of them. After all, the True Temple, made without hands (Ephesians 2:19-22), will be composed of the saved, who were once Jews, Muslims, Nazis, Atheists, White Supremacists, etc. (cf Ephesians 2:1-3) If Christ loved us so, surely He will give us the power to love as He commanded (2 Peter 1:3). Besides all this, don't you find it difficult not to love what our Lord loves? In Him, Doc |

I agree but we are also admonished to be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove. Matt 10:16. I believe this is where the church is failing. They are failing to tell that a defining doctrine of Islam is to convert the world to Islam and that the use of force to do so is approved. We are told in Ephesians to beware of the wiles of Satan, to put on the armour of God and to stand fast. No where is it suggested that we stick our Heads in the sand, so to speak, under the guise of loving our enemy. I' not saying anyone is saying that but the church has history of doing just that until it is too late, as proven by the prayer I school ban and abortion problem and ow the redefinition of marriage and the homosexual issues. We need to standup and say No, |
