Bible Note: Colin, first off thank you for the ‘sites’ and “instructions” that will save me “grief” :). I will check them out in the near future. The testimonies you have shared DO hit hard. You mentioned that you didn’t know how you would react if instructed to recant. I think you will find your answer and assurance in Luke 21:14. Years ago, in a foreign country, a team of us were doing street ministry. The crowd got uncontrollable. Suddenly I found myself surrounded by a gang of thugs. They didn’t speak English, and I could barely speak their language. I was wearing my billfold on a chain. (No. :) I wasn’t a biker). One of the men reached for my money and a few others reached for my arms. From within, the words “1 Peter 3:12” came forth. It was as though I had pulled out a gun. The entire circle raised their hands and backed away. Then they all ran in separate directions. Later, after checking out what 1 Peter 3:12 actually said, I burst out laughing. I couldn’t help it. For sure – take my word for it – those who trust in the Lord are safe – EVEN those whom are martyred. Your question, “Why does the god of the Koran so often swear by the moon and stars instead of by himself? is a great question. I hope I soon have an opportunity to ask it myself. Makes me wonder it that is why Muslim countries like Turkey, Tunisia, Pakistan and so many others have the moon and star(s) on their flag. Interesting. Thank you. Blessings, Taleb |
