Bible Note: Thanks... If you look up verses on BibleGateway.com ... once the verse comes up, there are languages listed at the top of the page. By clicking on the language, it will convert the verse to the language you selected. In arabic, it actually converts it to arabic alphabet and all. Pretty amazing! What fun is how fast you can do it during an online chat setting. Someone can ask a question and within a minute I can look up a verse convert it to arabic, clip it and paste it into the chat window. It gets their attention. By the way, I also use an online searchable Koran and will find relevant verses to support Christian principals. For example, the Koran says: [2.87] And most certainly We gave Musa the Book and We sent apostles after him one after another; and We gave Isa, the son of Marium, clear arguments and strengthened him with the holy spirit, What! whenever then an apostle came to you with that which your souls did not desire, you were insolent so you called some liars and some you slew. (FYI, Musa is Moses, Isa is Jesus, and Marium is Mary) I follow that with... Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. In Arabic (if it works here) ÝóÃóÌóÇÈóåõ íóÓõæÚõ: «ÃóäóÇ åõæó ÇáØøóÑöíÞõ æóÇáúÍóÞøõ æóÇáúÍóíóÇÉõ. áÇó íóÃúÊöí ÃóÍóÏñ Åöáóì ÇáÂÈö ÅöáÇøó Èöí Then I ask... If jesus (Isa) was a prophet, and He claimed to be God... why don't you believe Him? Makes for a lively discussion on the Islamic chat line! I, too, love all people and enjoy sticking my neck out when the Spirit leads. Cheers, Curt |
