Am a little confused about something...

[Sparkle1981]

yes - something like that.....

Lambsy I refuse to be drawn into any Muslim-bashing...I disagree with some of your points

I don't bash muslims, I evangelize them, and that involves getting bashed, not bashing.

Nothing works but being bold and fearless with them, you should know this if you have evangelized muslims before.

The real victims of islam are muslims, and we must all work to free them from the slavery of islam.

I believe that anyone who does not acknowledge Jesus as Lord and saviour does not recieve the Holy spirit within them, isn't it through his work in us that we see the truth and can come into Gods presence and know him. Anyone who does not know Jesus is decieved, but sadly they are not aware of it. Muslims, along with many others are victims of false teaching, blinded to the truth. I don't like their actions but they are bound up in the spiritual war which exists.
Doesn't the bible teach that the battle is not an earthly one but a spiritual one. As Christians we know the truth, which should lead us to pray for all those blinded to the truth. What happens on earth is a result of a much bigger battle.

Dear lambsy , this is a christian forum and not a tool for "bashing " other beliefs , I hope not to see any more examples of views such as you have expressed in reply 7

GRACE AND PEACE IN CHRIST

I am not an evangelistic Christian. I will speak about Christ if I am asked but on the whole I find people do not respond well to be shouted at about Christ or press-ganged into church

I think the truth of Christ's words speak loudly enough without me cornering random muslims and telling them how I see things.

I came to Christ myself after many years of being an Atheist. I was not pushed and I have never felt pushing people helps.

Are Muslims right? In my view no but then again they feel the same about us and I know how I would react if some Muslim was in my face telling me to convert...and it wouldn't be too polite!

Your post was slanderous towards Muslims in places. Have you ever read the Koran? Love is preached plenty of times.

One million muslims a year are becoming Christians in Africa alone, and many muslims are converting to Christianity in Iran, Iraq, Eygpt and Saudi Arabia.
Many are being converted by dreams, Jesus appears to them directly and converts them.
There are even Wahabi muslim clerics being converted by Jesus in dreams.

And there are also record numbers of Christians converting to Islam...Christianity is not the fastest growing religion in the world. Islam is

Really? Source?

[gibby]

I did find this article that talks a bit about it but does not state which religion actually gets the title for the "fastest growing". I would be interested to know more on this subject though.

Edit: It does include a source that ranks Islam as number 1 but it takes alot of factors into consideration like birth rate, immigration, etc.

This is typical of what happens when you are rash enough to type a fact without checking to make sure you can 'back it up' I am certain I read it somewhere but am having difficulty finding the link. I am confident I didn't imagine it and will post the link here when I find it. I feel like i'm going mad

I did find this link for starters...http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4385768.stm

This link is from CNN and clearly says it is the fastest growing religion; http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9704/14/egypt.islam/
