I agree as seen in my earlier comment. That list of what Muslims believe about Jesus opens doors. Having a decent understanding of the Qur'an, what Islam teaches, and what Muslims actually believe provides us with a starting point for reaching Muslims where they currently stand and allows us...

Muslims follow the God of Abraham because they can trace their lineage back to him and that is what the Qur'an instructs them to do. "Who would forsake the religion of Abraham, except he who fools himself?" We chose him in this world, and in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous. (Qur'an...

Jesus was a Jew speaking Jewish leaders. They were not followers of another religion.

Do you believe sharing the Gospel of Christ and the truths of the Bible with Muslims requires one to slander their prophet, twist the words of their holy book, or telling them that they worship a different god? For example, the Qur'an instructs Muslims to worship the God of Abraham. "All food...

This is a commonly held belief among non-Muslims; however, in Islam, the "People of the Book" are considered those nations/people who received previous revelations from God through the prophets. The "Book" isn't the Bible, but rather a book that is in the presence of God known as the Mother of...

The Bible is never mentioned in the Qur'an. From the linked article: "The crux of the argument is this: The Qur’an affirms the inspiration, authority, and preservation of the New Testament Gospels; yet the Qur’an also contradicts the Gospels on major theological and historical points...

Nowhere in the article does it say that the black stone is the god of Islam.

From the linked Wikipedia article: "While the Black Stone is revered, Islamic theologians emphasize that it has no divine significance and that its importance is historical in nature."

It's true that it's revered by Muslims, but it's not the god of Islam as you suggested in your earlier post.

The black stone is not a god, nor is it the center of worship for Muslims. “No doubt, I know that you are only a stone and can neither benefit nor harm anyone.” Saheeh al-Bukhari Muslims are instructed to follow the religion of Abraham and to worship God Alone. “Follow the religion of...

Probably because this is a forum that is formated in the English language and most people visiting the site don't speak Hebrew. If you were to visit a forum that is formatted in Italian and the majority of its users speak Italian, they would be using Gesù rather than Jesus. When I'm ministering...

I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.[1] For what I received I passed on to you of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the...

Haven't you ever asked another service member or veteran their MOS and where they served? If so, did they think you were a terrorist for asking? Yes, myself included. I just happen to have one of my JKO certificates downloaded on the computer I'm currently using. I have others; this is just the...

That entire post is absurd. The question I asked was, What was your MOS and what unit were you assigned to while in the Middle East? It’s a common question and something military and ex-military people ask each other all the time. I often ask someone this when I find out they're a veteran or...
