I enjoyed reading this, Mr. Johnston.

I think Mohamed is a good place to start if one wants to appreciate the Muslim faith. I think Bilal is also an excellent place to start. In one of the pinnacle moments of the birth of the Muslim faith, Bilal, an african slave, was chosen over others to be the first muezzin. After storming Mecca and taking the ka'ba shrine, Mohamed allowed a slave to stand atop this stone and offer the first call to prayer and declare that there was only one God. This call to prayer continues in Mecca today.

Thanks for the great article.

They do have many things in common,Paul warned Christians about anybody changing or adding to the gospel: "But even if we or angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you,let him be eternally condemmed(anathema)." (Gal 1:8)

Strange, #1 appreciated the article, but #2 saw it as an excuse to launch hostility.

The Saviour and his Oracles have warned Christians against such blind bigotry for millennia.

God weeps when the efforts of a good person are transmogrified into launch pads for a Luciferian characteristic that the Bible says, " ... separates very brethren."

If all we can find to do with teachings and doctrines he we do not embrace, then we have abandoned the Way of him that declared, "I am the Way, the truth, and the life ... " and are turned to 'doctrines of demons,' for they that leave the Way also leave God and his Christ.

Peter's inspired counsel was, "Render not railing [flaming] for railing, but contrariwise blessing"

It might surprise some to learn that the polemic aimed at others is identical to the polemic of the enemies of Jesus, and similar polemic led to the murder of several of Jesus' Apostolic College.

What is sure is cogent primary evidence that such actions are not of God, but the powers of darkness lead men astray, and strip them of the very appearance of Christians in whom is God's Holy Spirit.

Excellent article. God islove!

It's is difficult to understand your comments or (polemic) because when you use scripture you not quote the author and verses; (John 14:6)"I am the way the truth and the life,...(no man cometh unto the Father,but by me.)" Very important, Jesus is the only way,not all ways lead to God
(1John 4:16)"God is Love"(in context),In his esential nature and in all his actions,God is loving.But Love is not God that would be pantheism(Christian science,new agers)Example; God is light,but light is not God. are you coming from a mind science or metaphysical point of view.
