“If death could not stand in Christ’s way, nothing else will.” - Michael Reeves

Right on. That’s the point. The Christian response should have been positive, not negative. That’s a heart problem. That’s an outstanding comment. You put your finger on the problem.

Does this convey the idea that the Christian who posted it and the Christians who liked it love Muslims? No. Where have we seen something like it before? Nazi Germany. In regard to Jews.

Most people in the USA wouldn’t have to look very hard to find Muslims. I live in a rural area. It’s less than 20 miles from where I live to the nearest mosque. And a new mosque is under construction within a few miles of it. Some time ago I started a thread which asked the question, “Should a...

I’m not hunting likes but I‘ve noticed that there was no reaction, nor was there any comment, about the “I love Muslims” post. I‘ve also noticed two other things. 1. Discussion about evangelizing Muslims in this thread has become me, talking to the wind. (A little better than talking to...

“Heart Barrier #2 - Anger. Many Christians are angry with Muslims, and therefore, they do not want to share the gospel with them. For some, anger is not the right word. Instead, bitterness or animosity would be more appropriate. What I mean is that many Christians see Muslims as other than...

Are we sure we really want to evangelize Muslims? It needs to be done. It has to be done. It is being done. It will be done. “Send me? Well, send someone. It’s interesting and all. But I’ve already got a lot going on, and someone else is already taking care of that, aren’t they?” Who here is...

“The first three barriers (Fear, Anger, and Hopelessness) are heart issues. The last two barriers (language / culture and lack of ministry tools) are what training can provide. Heart Barrier #1 - Fear Many Christians are afraid of Muslims, and therefore, they will not go to them to share the...

I don’t think there are many who are. Evangelizing Muslims. It sounds good. It sounds right. It sounds holy. But who is really doing it? David Paul is. Who is David Paul? I don’t know. I know very a little about him. I’ve just started following him on X / Twitter. He’s earned a doctorate...

“Nathaniel answered him, ‘Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel!’” (John 1:49, NET) No Muslim would say what Nathaniel said @Armour of God. Wouldn’t you agree? I say what Nathaniel said. That’s what I believe. That’s what I teach. That’s what I preach. I’m willing to die...

But I’m not quite sure what to make of it.

That makes me wonder now about what you expect out of the people of Spurgeon’s time who sat under his preaching and pastoral care. @Armour of God presumably expects them to convert to Islam. (That’s ignorance.) @Wrangler knows better than that. (Good on him.) But you? There was no Ziglar. So...

I’ve read a little written by Ziglar, and I liked some - definitely not all - of what I‘ve read. I routinely use his line “Better than good” whenever someone asks me how I’m doing or how it’s going. It always receives a reaction, whereas “Fine” doesn’t. Did you know that Ziglar read Spurgeon...

Thanks. I’m curious about one thing: will @Wrangler come to the defense of Spurgeon, one of his favorite Christian authors? What do you think? Will he or won’t he?

Thanks. I don’t agree with everything Spurgeon ever said. He’s not infallible, and of course he never claimed to be. He played an important role in my spiritual formation growing up and I still read him daily. What do you think about him?

Christians body slamming one of the greatest figures in the history of Christianity. I didn’t have that one on my BINGO card.

Then don’t read Spurgeon. One of the greatest voices in the history of Christianity is not in your league. He taught, he preached, he lived the teaching of Jesus and the disciples concerning how followers of Jesus are to respond to their enemies. He isn’t the only one who did. Find one of them...

From my X / Twitter “For you” feed this afternoon - “I always think of myself as Christian who hates Christianity.” https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/2069451002638405913?s=61 Not a champion of Christianity. A champion of Christianity.

You acknowledged that you haven’t read Spurgeon. The framing of your question is proof to those who have that you haven’t.
