Bible Question:
The media says Muselim is the fastest growing religious in the world. Even in Africa more people become Muselim than Christian. What does the Muselim religious offer that the Christian don't have? Are the Muselim people that the bible refer to the 2000 million anti-Christ toward the end of the world? As a Christian, what can we do to count this trend? |
Bible Answer: Dear friend The Muslim faith offers you a way to work for your eternal paradise which is impossible to do because you could never get enough points to make the first step. God did not send just a phrophet He sent His only Son the perfect second person of the trinity to pay the sin debt that we owed and couldn't pay He did that for us so we would not have to die and go to hell. If the people who follow the Muslim faith think that they are going to heaven they are sadly mistaken, not because thay did good works or not, but because they did not believe on the name of the only Son of God for remission of their sins. |
