Islam and Christianity are VERY different and it is not loving to think otherwise

August 26, 2012 by untilfulllight

If a child is balanced on a cliff and about to fall off, it is not loving to allow them to play there because you don’t want to be a disagreeable parent. You don’t have to yell and smack the child to get her to turn away, in love you can gently take her by the hand and lead her to safety.

In the same way, as we consider the Muslim religion and pray for our friends during month of Ramadan and always, we must in love and kindness clarify that the Christian faith and the Muslim faith are very different.

The primary difference is on both religion’s view of Jesus. To understand this, our lesson this last week in the Live Life by the Book class clarified the Muslim and the Christian beliefs of both Abraham and Jesus. Below are the handouts from the class both in note form and the full-size slides.

Who is Jesus Really????

December 2, 2011 by untilfulllight

Is He simply a sentimental Reason for the Season? Is he a good prophet who showed us how to live, but who had Judas die in his place? Is he the spirit brother of Satan? Or is He the eternal, Son of God, who died on the cross and rose again for our redemption?

Each of these views are held by various groups: Mormon, Islam, Christianity and the world in general today. In our Live Life by the Book Class, we are going to take the next three weeks to look at Jesus. Ultimately He is the one who makes the difference between all the religions and as we look forward to His birth, we’ll study in detail His uniqueness and the Biblical and Historical foundation for it.

Last week we set the foundation for our study by looking at “What is Truth?” and this week we’ll begin looking in more detail at the acronym “DOCTRINE,” which covers the essential doctrines of the Christian faith. In this, the first letter, “D” stands for the deity of Christ. This is foundational to everything else and does work out well as a study for the weeks before Christmas.

Join us, Sunday, Dec. 4th as we start this exciting series.

From the path

"The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day." Prov.4:11

We won't see things clearly until we see our Lord, but on the path to that full light, we have the Bible as our light and guide. For much of my life I've tried to study, share, and teach the Bible. This blog pulls together many of those attempts, not as a final answer to any of the topics, but perhaps as a first gleam of dawn to help others on their journey.
