DOES JESUS RESPECT ISLAM?

[JerryNumbers]

Paul respected the Ethopian eunich. He gave us an example of how we should approach others who are not believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ac 8:26 ¶ And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
Ac 8:27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
Ac 8:28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
Ac 8:29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
Ac 8:30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
Ac 8:31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
Ac 8:32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
Ac 8:33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
Ac 8:34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
Ac 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
Ac 8:36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
Ac 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Ac 8:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

Chapter and verse please, the only Ethiopia eunuch I find in the New Testament is the one our Lord sent Phillip to, and he shared the Gospel with him and the man was saved and baptized, and it surely has nothing whatsoever to do with dealing with false teachers such as the Islams.

Burning the Koran, will that make you the same as the RCC that persecuted the real Christians, taking their Bibles and burning them at times, and even burning our brothers and sisters in Christ at times?

Can we not stand against false religion in a manner without provoking them to wrath?

There be many things we are free to do, yet does that mean we should?


Ro 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

1Co 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

Ro 14:15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
Ro 14:16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

Come to think of it, burning the Koran will not really edify no one, yet it may give the opportunity for someone to talk evil against you.

Koran is one of satan's bible's. Burning it will edify all involved. We must be steadfast and Godly in our deeds, and should not be afraid of the devil or his minions or their silly wrath.

Indeed; and this man was not only not promoting a false religion he was searching for God in the Word, which is why the Holy Ghost sent Philip to him.

Agreed the koran is of the devil, but does it make any sense or bring about edification to buy korans from Amazon.com in order to have them to burn? Buying them like that helps to fund the production of more korans and also gives the appearance there is a greater market for such.

I know of Christian folks who will buy false religion books, occultic books and items and things like that they find at yard sales and flea markets so they can destroy them thus keeping their evil from falling into anyone elses hands. Doing this doesn't support the further production of such items and is removing these evil items that are already in circulation.

There is no reason to buy these things. Many Mooslim proselytizers give them away for free. Simply search the internet for "free koran" and, might I add, unfortunately so, you will find plenty of outlets that will send it to you.

In the Old Testament Days, burring the Koran would be the way, yet not in the New Testament Days. You nor anyone else has to burn the Koran in order to stand firm against Islam.

The best way a Christians can this matter is do is not get involved while going about the work God has laid in front of them, go, teach baptize.

When I saw that post, I racked my brain to remember if I ever say such a thing, and searched the New Testament for eunuch, Ethiopian, Ethiopians eunuch, to see if I could come across such a thing, and I didn't. I was not going to say you were wrong, but I did need a chapter and verse.

From my take it seems that God does respect mans free will to believe what they chose, yet if they chose wrong its very clear what their end will be very unpleasant. That is the respect God shows towards Islam or any other false religion.

Of course, no matter what false teachings we stand up against, whether its Islam or churches of Christ, or some other false teachings, if we tell them their end is going to be hell they will not be happy towards us. But the truth is not many Christians stand against much of the false religions in this world, its not political correct.

I might say, in this United States we have many false religions, false churches, if all the members believes what they are teach, they will never see heaven, yet there be few that will stand up to them, most accept and are very tolerant towards such teachings and even defend them.

In the false name of "love and tolerance" professing Christians refuse to tell the truth of Scripture to those in false religions. Rather they prefer to go out of their way not to offend them.

How is this love? If there were really any love for them it would manifest itself in telling them the truth of Scripture so as to try and lead them to Christ, thus saving them from an eternity in hell!

What a warped, unbiblical sense of "love" so many professing Christians have in that they refuse to seek to save those bound in false religions, even those caught up in false and wayward "Christian" churches/denominations, out of fear of offending them and wanting to be viewed as "tolerant and loving" according to the liberal-socialist-demonic definition!
