Welcome Muslims who want to be part of this group…

Welcome Muslims who want to be part of this group in hopes of them seeing the light of the gospel here.

Answer whatever question they might have in love and always remember to quote the relevant scriptures for each question..always back what you say with scripture.

Refrain from insulting their religions or beliefs..just show them Jesus, that is all they need. Allow me to elaborate on this.. Earlier on a Muslim guy posed a question and a fellow group member started his reply by bashing Islam..though everything our fellow member said in response to the question asked was scriptural and correct, I do not think the Islam guy took it in because clearly his judgement was clouded by offence..at that moment, he was probably moved to defend his religion instead of paying attention to what really mattered in that reply, which was scripture based truth…

Let’s be more respectful, more loving and sensitive to those who are not of our faith..I am not saying we should approve of their beliefs or agree with what they stand on..

Bashing unbelievers and insulting their religions will only fill them up with offence, if we do this, they will not be able to receive our teachings with meekness..

Yeah, if only they would heed God’s COMMANDMENT: Thou Shalt NOT MURDER.

It would take them meeting Jesus for them to stop… Just like Paul. They are doing what they are doing in ignorance…they have not seen the light of the gospel..they are still under the dominion of the kingdom of darkness…Jesus died for them too and we should welcome them the way Jesus welcomed us into His kingdom.

Let’s refrain from judging them and pointing out their wrongs..God also had them in mind when He sent His son into the world..

You will never look into the eyes of a person that God does not love.
I can throw no stones, as I am a sinner, saved only by grace.

The best discussions and the most friendly without raging at each other I have had has been with Muslims. Atheist and other Christians get heated really fast. Generalizing but this is my experience.

I think we should be respectful, however I cannot help but think of someone like David Wood, now I know he is not everyone’s cup of tea, and he can be quite brutal but factual, however he has saved a lot of Muslims also.
Yes bad things have been done in the name of Christ, but we should look to Christ as our example, not Christians.
People love to reference the crusades etc, but they were a response to the brutal takeover to 2/3 of the Christian world in a very bloody establishment of the first caliphate so probably not a good conversation to enter into from a Muslim point of view. I think the reformation wars are more shameful really….

There is a place for every one.
Some need milk word others meat, hard word.
In my journey with all religious leaders working in the HIV prevention in Kenya. We set norms.
1. What is Christian is Christian so long as it is in the Bible.
2. Whatever is of the other faith it is theirs so long as it is in their Holy Books.
3. We are not here to win argument but have an agenda… Hence this group requires and agenda for all the parties.
4 Unconditional positive regard, and respect

It has been great working with all faiths BUT it challenges your faith every moment. You have to hold on to what you believe otherwise….
