PS about Gospel For Asia:



We are called to be good stewards with the money God gives us charge over...this is an ministry worth supporting.

Ok, there is some sort of schism here. I am stopping.

You said "I am muslim".

I said "Great, now I am too".

Then you questioned me. That didn't make enough sense for me to continue.

This post is entertaining irregardless of it's apparent seriousness. :-)
I thought about this topic on and off for three weeks now. I wuz out in the front yard last week and I had a vision- I saw an American flag in full glory- snapping in the breeze, with a background of Carolina blue sky- then there appeared a cross, an old, rugged, thick, burly, gnarley wooden cross in the air above it- the wood was worn and brown and the grain stood out- it was cumborous, thick and heavy, yet Y'shua, the Christ was no longer on it!

I asked the Lord what it meant... in my heart I said, surely this means America is lifted up, almost as though the serpent was lifted up in the wilderness... The freedom we offer through the law is sometimes misunderstood and abused.  Would sharia law not be the same, yet in a stricter sense?

I, later on that day talked to one who had "discipled" me -so to speak, many years ago and had travelled on-  and I told him of this vision- He said that the scriptures tell of the many serpents that were biting the people. That added the real perspective to my vision.

The muslim world is anticipating a freedom not unlike what we already experience.  They believe many things about the USA, some true and some untrue. When their populus is misinformed through uninformed channels of communication that see our democracy as oppressive of their ideals- that is like them being bitten by one of these serpents. I believe if they looked to US, and REALLY SAW CHRIST things might change.
  
Those college students and aspiring youth of Iran and Iraq and Saudi Yemen, Gaza, Golan Jordan Lebanon and all of Arabia need not be blinded to the true intention of a real christian leadership- that all have equal opportunity to experience a freedom of choice and
that christian values need not be distorted and manipulated and twisted to fit any economic scheme, agenda or power trip that comes down the road.

May the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and the Lord Jesus Christ give us strength in this hour to lift up a prayer for the Nation of Islam that they come to see the true light of the Gospel and the price that our LORD JESUS CHRIST paid to free us from the bondage and oppression of sin, and the resulting blessings still in force through the promises given to the wandering Aramean/Chaldean Abraham!

A journey of 1000 miles begins with one step, revival of a nation begins with one heart.

Thanks JHenisch for attempting to bring clarity, I understand you better now. It was as the Lord willed it. Through this He has opened my ear (see Isaiah) to hear as Muslims. From what I can hear now, it is clear that the thing they need most is the body of Christ (how sad for them that we are not to be unequally yoked).

cor517, your vision was astounding! Moreover, I think the will of God is that individual nations be lifted up less as we press in to the final oppression... not more. Do you see this? For we know the nations are ruled by one Spirit and that not for the sake of the flesh, but for Christ.

"If the only way to witness to a Muslim is to be a Muslim then yes, I will be the worst!"


RE:
Beg your pardon??? What makes you think the others are better?


As fot the person who wrote this thread... I think I know where you getting... but let me remind you that they differ between each other.

For different cultures, different religions. There is a reason why G-d brought men different covenants. Nothing wrong to be different as long we understand what we have in common. As for you fusing religions together it'd be senseless. We must acknowledge the one that we most identify with our culture so we can worship G-d how we're supposed to. Nevertheless, it is also important we respect divergent spiritual cultures.

JHenosch,
I understand that you find Christianity legalistic in terms of where it has gone with the Roman Catholic Church and since Roman-Byzantine Times; but don't mix Islam in with Judaism and Christianity. What Mohammed meant by that quote was, "Allah ["God"] has no Servant or Son". Mohammed, like today's so-called (i.e., Breslov) "Judaism", believed that the God of Israel is "yachid", not "echad".

G-d and life is truly One reality.

Christian, who believes that God's human derivative JezusChrist came into the flesh to compassionately live, suffer and die, as a normal human, to Comfort us, till the end of (pagan) times. So literaly being the Immanuel,

Yes, but it is not enough to merely intellectually believe. One must from his heart accept Jesus as his LORD and SAVIOR and be "BORN AGAIN."
He will be baptized in the Holy Ghost into Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, thereby obtaining ETERNAL LIFE.
God never called His people any name but ISRAEL. They were first called "Christian," at Antioch. This was a derogatory term.

JESUS LOVES YOU!
