We had a very good Christian/Muslim discussion this past Tuesday. It was well attended and we had a tough, spirited, but kind debate about the purity and preservation of the Bible and what the Scriptures teach about David.
Muslims struggle with the fact that David was sinful. They believe that we are born pure and that God preserved the prophets from sin (“mistakes” to the Muslim is not sin) so that they would be a good example that we must follow. They believe that if we follow the example of the prophets -which were perfect examples- that that would earn us eternal rewards. Of course we differed.
Pray that the Gospel that was presented – that man’s only hope for sin’s remedy is in Jesus Christ.
We will not be meeting in August, as Muslims will be fasting. But we will start again on September 27.
Please come out the next time and join in the discussion.
