I Also Hate This

Posted in Qur'an, Sin on July 27, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I am not afraid to admit that I don’t believe the Qur’an is the Word of God. If I did I would be a Muslim. However, that doesn’t make me any less incensed when I see things like “International Burn a Koran Day” hosted by a church in Florida. This can’t get much further from [...]

Posted in Jesus Christ, Qur'an, Understanding on June 18, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Here is a short video with Governor David Beasley sharing his experience of finding common ground with a Muslim friend from Yemen. Unbeknownst to him, Jesus is in the Qur’an.

The Honor of the Word of God

Posted in Bible, Honor/Shame, Jesus Christ, Qur'an on November 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Both Muslims and Christians call Jesus Christ the word of God (كَلِمَةٍ ٱللَّهَ ). As I was reading in the Psalms (Zabur) this morning I was reminded of Al Imran 45 (3:45) from the Qur’an. In both verses we see God honoring or exalting his word. Psalm 138:2 I bow down toward your holy temple [...]

Joseph and His Master’s Wife

Posted in Bible, Qur'an on October 31, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

The story of Joseph’s seduction and righteous response of purity is well known among all three Abrahamic faiths, for it is written of in both the Bible (Genesis 39) and the Qur’an (Surah 12 [Yusuf]).
