A call to faith

Submitted by David Ross (Australia), Jan 6, 2007 at 04:50

Dear Sheikh Hamad

I call you to faith in Christ Jesus, Son of God and Saviour of the world.

if you put your faith in Him, you will be protected, and your property will be safe.

if you do not wish to embrace Christ as your Savior, then you must pay a tribute tax.

or..you must sell your land and possesions and leave this country for another.

or..you must fight us, and we will kill you.

Does this sound familiar ? You are a Sheikh, so of course you will know this is a 'Christian version of Mohammeds letter to Heraclius. But the real Christian approach is this.

-We call you to embrace Christ Jesus as Savior, (He is the Son of God) and to repent of your sin.

If you do this, you will receive forgiveness and new life.

You may join the community of the saved and enjoy fellowship with them day in and day out.

if you decline this gracious offer, it is your own choice then we shake off the dust of our feet, and go our way.

COMMENT I hope you notice the differences between the 'threatening' Mohammed and the 'go our way' of the Christian disciples.

This alone should tell you many things about the history of Islamic expansion.

I also draw your attention to this web site I have compiled, and there is an opportunity to respond/interact/discuss there.
