    Historian shares how Islam really began

    When we get it wrong - and the average Christian does get it wrong - our evangelism of Muslims yields poor results. “Do no harm.“ A theology professor wrote the simple sentence on a blackboard before delivering his lecture to the students entrusted to his care. When we get it wrong, we harm...

    That’s genuine Christianity. That’s the character of the true religion of peace. It doesn’t change when evil comes for it. That’s what Muslims* need to see and hear. That’s what Muslims must become persuaded in their own minds to believe is true. That’s what evangelism is about. * Not only...

    If we don’t believe that, if we don’t live that, if we don’t teach and preach that, then we can forget about evangelizing Muslims.

    “Make sure your attitude points to the fact that Christians are supposed to be marked by love.” (Bill Hybels, Just Walk Across the Room, p. 183) I wouldn’t evangelize Muslims if I didn’t. The Prince of Peace wants them to hear the gospel of peace and by it be drawn to him.

    Do you know what this is @Debp? I’m not going to name the “Christian” member who posted it but the member who did doesn’t believe it is possible to evangelize Muslims.

    That’s right. That’s precisely what the ex-Muslim Christian apologist told us. The circumstances changed and Muhammad changed with them. The progression was from what? Peace. To what? Violence. I believe Christianity is the religion of peace. Do you? Muslims don’t.

    Maybe they caused some Christians to stop listening to her. That was their goal after all, right?

    Historian shares how Islam really began

    On Sunday past Shahriq Khan posted this on X / Twitter - “Flashback to when I was a Muslim, I wasn’t searching for a new religion. I was just trying not to fail. Everything I did was about staying in bounds. The prayers. The fasting. The community. The performance. Not because I loved God...

    A. Islam was founded on war. B. Islam was founded on peace. In light of what we have learned from the ex-Muslim Christian apologist - Which one of these statements will attract a Muslim? B. Which one of these statements will repel a Muslim? A. The Christian evangelist wants to attract...

    Historian shares how Islam really began

    I want to revisit this. The ex-Muslim Christian apologist, Shahriq Khan, touched on it yesterday. “As a former Muslim, one thing that used to confuse me was this: Why do some parts of the Quran sound peaceful, while other parts sound like a war manual? The answer is history. The Quran comes...

    Yes. Did she cause them to change their minds? Did she successfully evangelize them? Did they decide to become Christians? No. This is another lesson. That’s the wrong environment for evangelizing Muslims. That’s the way. You have a real possibility of successfully evangelizing them.

    Lesson #1 in how not to evangelize a Muslim -> don’t criticize Islam. When we do, it’s over. That’s the last thing a Christian evangelist wants. That’s mission failure. What do you want to accomplish? How about this -> the persuaded Muslim criticizes Islam. That’s how a convert is made. You...

    Historian shares how Islam really began

    I’ve seen it. That’s an example of the wrong way to evangelize Muslims. It often makes them angry; and angry people aren’t interested in hearing what we have to say. In some instances, they will unleash lethal violence in response. They also have an apologetic which they use to render the...
