Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works" 2 John 9-11). For the benefit of Christians the Apostle John took very seriously all things heretical. May Jesus, the Son of God, be glorified in your life. John,

The LORD established it in Jesus Christ: "This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant. The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, but he holds his priesthood permanently because he continues forever" (Hebrews 7.22, ff.). The Bible teaches that the LORD has made the Abrahamic covenant obsolete: "In speaking of a new covenant he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away" (Hebrews 8.13). Anwar, Jesus calls you to repent, for he said: "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel" (Mark 1.15). May the Holy Spirit open your heart; and may the Father draw you to the Son. God bless you, Anwar. Anwar,

Today Nove 27 to 29 are 3 days for the Abrahmic sacrifice which only muslims celeberate,though it is a bridgebuilder between three Abrahamic faiths.This is second biggest holiday and is called Eid al Adha,first biggest holiday is Eid al fitar which ends after the fasting month for muslims.,again an act of worship which was carried out by and preached by Moses,and Jesus(peace be upon them all).We muslims are proud of carrying out such acts of worship because these reflect the actions of the prophets themselves.Some muslims celebrate the birthday of Prophet Muhammad but many don't saying he himself didn't do it so instead of focusing on his personality worship we should rather focus on his teachings for God's worship.

The one who posted it is the only other person who could remove it. That being said there are no posts unaccounted for. Maybe you were looking at a different thread. You said, "You post only those responses which are in accordance with your thinking." Read through the blog, this statement is simply not true. I am very open to any debate on the blog and welcome anyone. Check out the thread on the newest post. Douglas has been doing just what you suggest with a number of Muslims. John,

There were some good websites here that seem to be removed.You post only those responses which are in accordance with your thinking.A person with a muslim name had put two sites e.g.www.shareislam.com and www.islamalways.com. I think instead of deleting them and his response would have been honest to invite him i.e.yusuf Estes or someother muslim scholar or some converts to Islam and ask them some pointy questions for every ones benefit.

"Insider movements claim the desire to avoid syncretism, but this is trying to close the barn door after cows have already gone. Its divided loyalties, deceptive religious practices, poor theology, and separatist impulses such as a redundant Muslim-background Bible all indicate movement away from a biblical understanding of faith rather than a biblical movement to Christ. How can someone who believes he is a true Muslim attend the mosque, consult the Qur’an, and acknowledge Mohamed as God’s prophet, all of which contradict the core of biblical teaching, without being mired in syncretism?" Basil Grafas I received this in an email yesterday and will be posting and sending out articles on the Insider Movement this week.

Ahmad, above, when he said that, wasn't kidding. But what he is doing is what he has done on this blog's threads; he is deflecting the truth about himself and Islam. If Muslims don't like the news about them, the commission of terrorist acts, like recently at Fort Hood, why don't Muslims stop those acts instead of blaming media for simply reporting what Muslims do. Political correctness is a mental straight-jacket that Ahmad attempts to force onto our minds instead of taking responsibility for his own. “But the anti muslim media will never present it because there is no juice here.WHy tell a good side of the story about Islam or muslims.Very sad.”
