Bible Question:
I'm not really sure how to begin here. I have never posted before. Heres the situation that I would like help with... My fiancee recently returned for a year tour in Iraq. He was always a very active Christian before leaving. While he was there, he met and grew to love a family that "adopted" him. They are Muslim. My fiancee is now questioning his faith. He feels like he can take no comfort in a religion that he believes will send those children that he loves to hell because of their beliefs. Thankfully, his views have not changed my faith yet.... but I am having some of the same questions as he does now. Does anyone have thoughts about this or is there a place I can look in the Bible about these types of issues? I'm really starting to worry about this. If I have to choose between my fiancee and my faith, I chose my faith. I love him with all my heart though. Please help-- my marriage depends on it. Thanks so much... Lola |
Bible Answer: Hi Lola, Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. Nom man comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14) In bringing this Muslims into your fiancee's life, He opened a door that may lead them into heaven. Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy. (John 10) The false religion of Islam, which denies Christ, (Allah does not have a son), is by definition antichrist, and will not save anyone. But there is a particular Muslin family which has a unique and wonderful treasure. They have a Christian man who openned his heart to them, and has hopefully shared the gospel, or can in the future. They have a greater treasure still. They have a Christian man and woman who can agree in prayer for them, to intercede for them, that they will be stopped from their headlong rush into hell. Your fiancee has returned from the physical war, but the spiritual war goes on. Pray! Pray! Pray!!!! Perservere!!!!! God died trying to keep them out of hell. Will they let God rescue them? Or will they fight Him until He allows them their own way. I am praying also. Love in Christ, Mark |
