Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Well, I hope you had a productive day.  Mine went fine, though no one came to Christ.  It was one of those odd days when I was either speaking with a Christian or a Muslim.  I did get some seeds planted though with a couple peeps.  The day was ending with a good conversation with a guy from Pakistan, nice Muslim guy.  But his friend joined us and started in telling me stuff about Palestine which I was fairly certain was untrue.  He was a Muslim who did not seem to believe core things I have been taught about Islam, saying it was a religion of peace, though the consummate Muslim was Mohammed who was clearly a warrior, like David, not a peaceful guy.  So to emulate Mohammed you would not be peaceful.  One of the things he maintained was that the Palestinians had never used suicide bombers in Israel.  I just rolled with it saying well that went against what I had thought was true, correcting only the things he said that were in error about Christianity.  So I called my friend from Lebanon, Hicham, when I got home.  He happened to be driving right then with a man who had only been in the states one year and was Palestinian.  They told me, though there had not been any of late due to increased security measures, that there had been Many suicide bombers in Israel who were Palestinian.  These have been men, women and even children.  One big problem Islam has is that the Quran plainly misstates some major Doctrines of Christianity which can be historically proven.  Christians have consistently believed for nearly 2000 years that the Trinity is the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit for example — The Quran teaches we believe this to be in the Father, the Son and Mary.  It also teaches that the Romans did not actually kill Jesus, but clearly every historical statement concerning this fact teaches the Roman Crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth unto death.  This is true both inside and outside Christianity before Muhammad.  So the Quran is wrong about the teaching of another world religion and so cannot be infallible.  To get around this they say the Bible was changed, but the historical teaching of the Church on these issues has not changed and this information is easily obtained outside the Biblical record even were it provably corrupted.

Well, thanks for your prayers.  I’ll be out again tomorrow.

In Him,
Bob Bollow
