My challenge to Moslems is this,if the message given to Muhhamad and thru the Koran is Gods final and abbrogated truth over the Torah and Gospel reverlations pointing to Jesus as God,then i should now be a moslem,not a Christian as i have been now, for 9 years, im 48 y/old now.
Lets Say i was traveling across the australian outback,now one night at a motel i found a copy of the Koran,and for arguments sake,i took that scripture back home with me and prayed and studeyed Allahs word to me,would i have found the same truth as a jew or a christian,as a new convert to islam.??
Well it never happened like that,this is how as a unbeliever i came to the truth of god in jesus thru a copy of the torah and gospels i found traverling across the australian outback,some 9 or so years ago,
In those scriptures,i was set free as jesus said i would be,now if muhhamad is gods seal of real truth,how on Gods earth did god win me to him,jesus,and not to muhhamad,???so much for islams supremacey,??
Finally,i had a one to one meeting with a Very nice,polite Australian Moslem man at a function one night,we both established we were persons of faith,now he said to me if only i would see reason and come to faith in God thru islam i would find a greater truth than jesus.so i said in what way would this islamic truth be more truthfull than my truth of god in the person of jesus,and he said to me,that love that peace that truth you find,in jesus,you will feel all that and much more from God,if only i would convert to islam,??I thanked him for his genuine beliefs that islam is right for me and him,but i told him i would never conceed what had been given to me thru jesus.-What is truth,its what brings a person to God,with peace and goodwill to all men and woman,after your encounter with the divine to your faith,amen
