Let Us Reason - A Christian/muslim Dialogue

Jay and Al Fadi discuss that there is more than seven different Arabic Qurans , and none of them is from the time of Uthman (the third Muslim caliph).  They debunk the claim of Muslims that the Quran has been preserved,never been created and can't be changed;(Q 85:22,15:9).  In the time of Uthman; one Quran copy,  in the Qurashi dialect,  was chosen and all other copies were collected and burned.  Listen to hear more details concerning the subject. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi discusses what  the believers reaction should be  towards rioting.  He says that we should not take sides, but think of people who are created in God's image. TheBible does not codon riots, in fact the Bible mentions that Paul faced riots because of his message, Acts 19: 23-41,  which stirred up jealousy and riots.  The reason was that Paul's new message was going to disturb the idol worshipers business .  Our responsibility as believers is to share the good news and pray for people who are involved and those in authority, 1 Tim. 2: 1-3.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi and Jay Smith are answering several questions from - the material that Dan Gibson did introducing that the Qibla was originally in Petra,Jordan not Mecca ,Saudi Arabia. To- The Madina charter(agreement) articles, where Muhammad demanded that every non Muslim sign especially the Jews; who refused. They also talked about the standardization  of the Quranic text from 1924-1985.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi continues his teaching about being the church from last time using Colossians 3:12-17. How to behave in kindness, humility, gentleness and patience, first towards one another as believers and then towards non believers to bring glory to God.  Take advantage to share the peace of Christ with others in the middle of the uncertain times we are in. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi continues his series on how to respond to crisis as Christians; 5. By giving to the needy brothers and sisters in the lord (1 john 3:17).  6. Remain connected to the body of Christ; being isolated is dangerous; and there is a lot of ways to stay connected on line.  7. Be the church; remember we need to be the salt and light of the world.  People are more open to listen to the message in time of crisis. "The greatest testimony are Christians who love the world the way God loved them; Al said". John 3:16, 1 john 4: 9.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

      Al Fadi gives some ministry updates on social media, for example ; You tube   cirainternational live streams.  He continues to share two more ways christians should    respond to a crisis:  3. Placing the interest of others ahead of ours, Philippians 2:3-4.  4. Buying what we need, and trusting that God will supply our needs: Matthew 6:33.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi shares what our reaction should be as christian believers in times of crisis as Covid 19 for example in the age of social media where news spread fast. 1. Not to promote fake news,Proverbs 11:14, ask yourself what good sharing that news? Philippians 4:8 talks about thinking about what is true,honorable,just,lovely and excellent. Our reaction impact others.  2. We must not let fear rule over us, because others are watching us. Isaiah 41:10 and 2 Timothy 1:7 talks about the right reaction is not fear.  Isaiah 26: 3 says that God will keep us in perfect peace if we are trusting the Lord.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi continues today's show by picking up from last week's final post discussion of Islamic dilemma; " The Quran speaks of a fake Jesus who is called"Isa",yet he is not the son of God". This Isa is not the Jesus of the bible, Al tries to explain why.  Next he discusses two posts about why Muhammad is not in heaven,ie: in the hell fire now. Reason number one is he denied the only way to heaven,Jesus. Second,he broke every commandment and Jesus said in Mt 13:41 that law breakers will be thrown into hell.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jesus exposes Mohammad, John 8:44. 4. The dilemma of Islamic counterfeit; The Quran speaks of a fake Jesus it calls him Issa.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He is the creator,(John 1:1).  4.. Jesus identified himself as divine. 5.. The apostles identified Him as divine. Listen to learn the details.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi goes through multiple passages from the old testament( Ps.110:1, Ps 24:7,8, Ps 45:67, Isa. 44:6, Ps 102:25) and some from the new testament(1 Pt 3:15,1 Cor. 2:8, Rev. 1:18,2:15, Heb. 1) to explain how both the OT and the NT agree that Jesus is Lord.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi talks about how different media platforms like zoom,Facebook, and Youtube have improved ministry.  He talks about using Facebook live streams on one of the three Facebook accounts (alfadi.cira,cirainternational,or thealfadi) where he interviews different people from X- Muslims to apologists.  They talk about different subjects from testimonies, the trinity,the psychology of Islam, and many more.  You can watch these events live or go to  cirainternational Youtube if you missed it and check the playlist.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi continues his study on hope from the gospel of John . He says that Jesus is the revealer of God; If we want to know God we need to know Jesus.  We need to be courageous and confident because God is in us and with us. In verses 15-17 , Jesus says that if we love him we need to obey his commandments; 1. our obedience is an evidence of our faith. 2. He will send the Holy Spirit as our helper,and the H.S. in us is another reason for hope. Verse 18 , Jesus said that He will not leave us as orphans ,and if we have a relationship with Him we are not alone and we have hope. . See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi  talks about how to have hope in Christ.  He uses the passage in the gospel of John 14:1-6. 1. To have hope you have to believe in Christ.  2. If you believe in Christ ,it also means that you believe in the Father. 3. If you believe that Christ has a place for you in the Father's house, you will not be troubled. 4. If you know Jesus you know the way to heaven because Jesus said that he is the way. The question is do you know Him? Do you know the way? If you do, share Him with others, but if you don't accept Him by faith.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi starts with 1st Peter 3:15," ...Sanctify Christ as Lord in your heart,always be prepared to give an answer for the hope that is in you..."  He also discusses some verses from Isaiah that talks about Jesus as Lord, and then moves to the book of Hebrews chapter one which quotes a lot of old testament references about Christ as Lord and God.  He finally goes to Mathew 22:41-45 where Christ is talking to the pharisees of who he is.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi is sharing how to ask muslims the hard question about polygamy .  He uses Q 4:3 as a reference that talks about marrying many wives.  He points out that the Quran ordain and commands muslims to marry more than one wife ,but the Bible does not do that. In Genesis 2:24 and Matthew 19:3, the Bible talks that marriage is one man and one woman becoming one. He uses a FB post from Feb 11, "Why Mohammad is a false prophet because he permitted marrying multiple women...."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
