MEMO: What Spirit may we notice in evangelizing Islam?
They may agree Jesus was here in flesh but deny the Father-Son relationship (I John 4:1-3, 15; 2:22-23).
In this kind of work, you are no longer dealing with a SAFE community, a Christian group, but you may notice the influence of a different spirit. In other words, they may end up trying to egg you toward their stuff by sheer persistence.
Could Muhammed be a prophet of God? Which passage are you looking at? (Surah 7:157). Might sound like Christ (John 7:15-16) & Muhammed says believe in the unlettered Prophet, but Muslims say this is Muhammed.
According to Surahs, 3:45; 4:171, Christ is Word, they say just "BE" created 3:54-56 God's plan to cause Jesus to die & raise HIM, (Metaphite-cause to die). They say, "Raise" just coincides with heaven in Surah 4:157.
In response to Surah 3:55, we might ask, How are is one ahead in the ressurection if he believes Jesus? They won't answer.
Does Surah 18:103-106 mean "Works won't save?" They say it doesn't
mean that.
In Surahs 14:34; 16:61, all mankind are sinners: they disagree or are suprised.
What is their Law & Gospel? Lie, steal, murder, rape, destroy, enslave, all evil you can do and more. (Will they tell you what their law is?)
The Gospel of Barnabas (written in 1200) depicts Christ as not crucified (But there were no witnesses to support this 'gospel' who were there in Christ's time) in agreement with Surah 4:157. The "Law & Gospel" are mentioned in Surahs 5:68; 7:157; 9:111.
Surah 9:111 - indeed edges you toward rejection of Muhammed as a Prophet of God.
In indicates that for your persons you get paradise with your persons you are to fight, slay, and be slain until all the world submits to Allah via Islam (see Surahs 9:111; 47:4-7; 9:5; 8:39 et al.)
This indicates that by breaking God's law (i.e. the 10 Commandments, et al) you will be saved. THIS IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE TO THE BIBLE: DO THIS & YOU WILL LIVE (Leviticus 18:5).
Their fruit is viscious. The devil is the "god" of this world (I John 5:19; I Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 2:3). This is _contrary_ to God who has revealed HIMSELF with many proofs (Isaiah 46:8-13; 41:21-24). He is the -true- God (Deuteronomy 18:21,22; 13:1-3 = YHWH ). Not merely Allah (a generic Arabic name for God, but no personal name), which would seem to be Satan by fruits) and witnesses to Christ of fullfillment (Deuteronomy 19:15) with consistence (l Jeremiah 28:7, 8) would not make sense (Luke 24:44-48).
Examples:
Muslims are killing and being killed, bombing & suicide bombing; fighting all over the world to get into heaven? (Examples: Malaysia, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, New York-World Trade Center & Pentagon; Beijing-China; Chechnya-Russia) under a "pact" they believe gives them paradise if they carry it out to all world. An Ethiopian told me that Muslims pushed 60 of his cousins off a cliff. Is this all done to get into Muslim heaven?
Presenting this to them may get them embarrassed enough to look at the law & their behaviour ... and consider Christ.
Leviticus 18:5 says "Do the law & you will live, so Christ had to do
this for us to redeem us from the power of the devil & sin & eternal
death & hell (Matthew 5:17-19; I John 3:8). And so sin is no longer
counted against us, and God's Holy Spirit renews us (John 3).
They also reject the crucifixion & resurection of Christ to redeem us. Again, the mark of the anti-Christ. (I John 4:1-3,15) Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on the cross & shed HIS blood for the remission of sin & rose on the 3rd day, a "test" we might direct at a secret influence on us & then tell it to leave in Jesus name the next time it tries to work on us. Jesus Christ, Chosen for our Salvation was in the flesh.
By contrast, Christ gives us a free gift of salvation (Romans 6:23) and the Holy Spirit puts a new heart & mind against the old nature in us (Galatians 5:22-26). We are aware of our imperfection as Paul said (Philippians 3:12), and so we continue in Christ daily.
I thought it would be wise to mention this influence of Anti-Christ spirit which we need to pray against or command away in our evangelizing, "IN Jesus name," loss of friends & family is a great
deterent to Muslim conversion to Christ.
In their own contries to convert to Christ is a capital offence (death sentence), but probably would be carried out secretly to avoid government embarrassment.
80% of converts are killed, 70% go back to Islam.
