Muslims,
please read this first
Assalamu
alaikum
Christians and
Muslims disagree on the nature of God, salvation, prophets, the
true Scriptures, etc. For
the great majority of us on both sides, we will not change our
views.
You believe in Allah and Muhammad as his prophet. I am a Christian,
saved by the grace of my Lord and Savior, Jesus.
In obedience to Christ, and according to the Bible, I seek to expose
error and teach the truth...and, respectfully, I do not think
Islam is the truth. I
say this outright so that no Muslim will accuse me of being
deceptive or having a hidden agenda. My goal is to convert
Muslims to Christ so they may find salvation in Him and to inform
seekers about Islam as compared to the Bible and in so doing,
turn them to Christ.
However, please realize that I have no
hatred for Islam, Muhammad, Muslims, or the Koran. A
Muslim never wronged me and I had no trauma as a child involving
anything Muslim. I
mean no insult to you at all when I say that according to the
Bible, I respectfully believe Islam is false. I
know you disagree and perhaps you will take it as an insult or
some form of persecution. I hope you do not. But,
I am simply being faithful to my Lord Jesus in defending His
truth as revealed in the Bible.
I realize that there are many good
Muslims in the world who are peaceful, honest, compassionate, and
who desire to serve God in truth.
I do not fault any Muslim for this.
Likewise, I hope you will not find fault with my honest intention to do
the same according to the convictions of my heart since I seek to
serve God.
Nevertheless, if I mistakenly
misrepresent Islam on this site, I take full responsibility for
it. It is not my desire to produce a false image of Islam
and then attempt to destroy the false image.
I only ask that you let me know in what area I have erred (with
documentation) and I shall do my best to correct it, within
reason.
I say “within reason” because a difference of opinion on a matter
does not warrant a correction. But,
if I have some error in facts, definition, dates, or doctrines of
Islam, I would value being corrected.
I do not seek to
attack and call Muslims names or use emotional and poorly reasoned arguments as
"proofs" for my position -- as too many Christians have already
attempted in the past. Rather, I seek to know Islam truthfully,
convey a factual and honest representation of it to readers, and,
of course, to tackle what I consider are its errors.
Therefore, these pages will be somewhat
fluid in that they will be refined over time.
My only desire is that you find the
forgiveness of Jesus and the love of God that abounds in my heart and the hearts
of His redeemed people.
By the grace of Christ Jesus, my Savior.
