Subject: Islam believe christ except for what? |
Bible Note: Joe, very regretfully I know from first-hand experience what a horrible idea it is to invite someone from a non-Christian faith to speak in a Christian church. Some years ago I was leading a seminar at the church I attended at the time on world religions and thought it would add zest and sparkle to invite a non-Christian to the group to speak of his faith. Did that ever backfire! It added far more zest and sparkle than I'd bargained for. The guy was witty, charming, and persuasive. By the time he wound down, I was mortally afraid we would lose at least half of our class to the other faith! I devoted the next session entirely to damage repair, to refuting the claims our charming guest had made..... False religious teachers, whether they are cults posing as Christian believers or confessed believers in a pagan religion, can and do indeed paint a pretty picture. It is easy enough to be deceived unless we are well grounded in the faith and stand firm in the truth....... The real danger lies not in Christianity's lack of truth with which to defend itself, but in the sad fact that so few Christians are effective apologists for their faith. Some of these non-Christians know more about the Christian faith than many Christians do. They are masters of deceit and can pervert the truth to their own hellish ends. --Hank |
