Scripture readings for Christmas

That old man still insisting and threatening our faith Jealous ?
How come he has no testimony to share about his god ?
He dreamt about a Chinese wayang opera actor 
Maybe is about his wayang lies ?

 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him" (Proverbs 26:4)

This is the Islamic dilemma... We can discuss the issues extensively, but it doesnt solve the problem. Even if I concede to the Moslems in every argument, they would still ultimately face a loss... Big Grin

I am more like his follower than you are, even though I am not his follower.

1. I pray to the almighty God like how Jesus did. You don't.
2. I believe in one almighty God with no partners and so do Jesus. You believe in 3 persons God, a foreign god.
3. I believe in obedience to the Law like Jesus. You have discarded the Law.
4. I go to the temple in the early morning like Jesus did. I'm sure you don't.
5. I am circumcised like how Jesus was circumcised. Likely, you are not.
6. I don't eat pork like Jesus. Likely, you consume pork.

As you can see from that, I accept Jesus more than you. What say you SimTan?

You evoke images of a pretty neat 'kitchen counter scrubber' who believers that righteousness involves keeping the kitchen spotlessly clean, with counters wiped, floor scrubbed, dishes washed, cupboards organized, corners dusted, napkins neatly folded, and so on.

Kitchen scrubbers who pride themselves in keeping an immaculate exterior also tend to despise those whose kitchens are cluttered. Little wonder, then, Christians have been labelled as 'lawless' by you. When you focus on outward appearances, you neglect the reality within, where righteousness is administered and contained.

Trying to live a righteous life externally when we're not righteous internally will only result in us becoming "whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean" (Matt 23:27). The focus must be what is inside: "For within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly. All these evils come from inside and make a man unclean" (Mark 7:20-23).

By branding us 'lawless,' you think grace allows us to sin? The fact of the matter is, not being under law does not mean freedom to sin, If anything, true liberty is the freedom not to sin, which is only possible by walking in the Spirit. In his letters to the Galatians, Paul defends the true liberty of the Spirit against the twin dangers threatening that freedom. On one side is licence, which enslaves to sin. On the other side is legalism, which enslaves to law. These are the two ways in which we believers can lose our liberty and both carry grave consequences.

The form of legalism dogging Paul's mission was the teaching by Jewish believers that Gentiles accepting Jesus, the Jewish Messiah, must also keep the Jewish law of Moses. In Colossians 2:20-22, Paul wrote, "Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations.."

This passage provides a pretty accurate picture of holiness teaching. Do not misunderstand me - I ain't saying rules are necessarily wrong. Many of them are useful and good. What I'm saying is that our righteousness doesn't consist in keeping those rules. especially when so many of them are sadly dated and no longer useful.

There are no outward acts that you can do to achieve righteousness, so abandon your futile efforts to do this or that. It's true that our good works reap eternal reward (Matt 16:27; Luke 6:35), but not if we do good works only in hopes of attaining righteousness. The only way to be righteous is to receive, b faith, the righteousness of God.

Old man always boasts he knows more than us and we are useless in his eyes
No matter how you explain he still despises Christians.

Answer is simple he is just a goat not our Sheperd
He don’t understand the Bible
He only believe in his Koran which contradicts the Bible
Every day without fail he will condemn us
His partner will show the Koran happily thinking paradise belongs to them not us

Even can order what food u like in paradise
But Why angel food is only manna no meat go n think?


That is the job for their master of the darkness

The issue with some followers of Islam is their tendency to regard Christians as second-class citizens....like the prophet 's practice of collecting jizya from Christians to permit them to practice their faith. 

This mindset seems to be shared by Hope, who believes he occupies a moral high ground over us and view the Quran as superior to the Bible. He thinks that we should submit to Islam, similar to how the prophet sought to establish his authority.....

A significant concern within Islam is that many adherents follow the teachings of the prophet without engaging in critical thinking. ....There are still those who believe that violence or jihadist actions are legitimate solutions to various problems. Furthermore, misinterpretations of the Quran can lead individuals down a path toward extremism.....

The Jews during the middle ages experienced the Christian love. They were massacred en masse in Jerusalem by the Christians.

Today, it is the Jews and the Christians combined who are showing love to the Palestinian people. A genocidal love.

In the Abrahamic paradigm, truth is in the scriptures and the prophets. As we no longer have the prophets, we can only rely on the scriptures.

In the Gospels, we read about Jesus condemning those who discard the law and teach others to discard the law. We both agree Paul did exactly that, teaching others to discard the law.

Will you admit that you have put aside or ignored the words of Jesus and that you follow Paul instead?

I believe the saviour is the God of Jesus. Jesus also believed the same as me. That is why when Jesus wanted to be saved, he prayed to his God.

I don't think I am smart. I appear smart to you because I speak the truth. 

I believe in the God of Jesus and I worship that One God. My saviour is that One God. Jesus's saviour is also the same One God.
