thank you for the answers.
I...Dear NorthernSparrow,<br />thank you for the answers.<br />I agree with you.<br /><br />I found this:<br />John Piper Responds to "A Common Word Between Us and You".<br />I think it's really good and worth listening.<br />The http-address is:<br />http://youtu.be/rTY-9FY13kw<br /><br /><br />I have been reading Apostle Paul's Letter to the Romans,<br />- and this morning Romans 16:<br />"17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.<br />18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.<br />19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.<br />20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen."<br />"25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,<br />26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:<br />27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen."<br /><br />Have a blessed and happy August!<br /><br />A House Sparrow from Finland :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074143639047513815.post-12515147095123291122012-07-31T17:08:28.525-05:002012-07-31T17:08:28.525-05:00Just to add another thought to my comment above; A...Just to add another thought to my comment above; As Christians, it is our duty to witness to people who do not know Christ and that includes Muslims. While we are seeking to win them to Christ, we should never compromise on our own faith. We should not allow them to worship their Allah in our churches, nor do we need to walk around on "eggshell" so as to not offend them with our faith in Christ and the Bible.

Rick Warren does not represent the truth of the gospel with this and I would suggest to keep as far away from it as you can. The Muslim faith is a false religion and cannot save anyone. It directly opposes Christianity and is very dangerous. Any religion that does not proclaim Jesus Christ as the only way of salvation is a false religion. You cannot live for Christ and add another religion to it. God demands our loyalty to Him 100%. The Bible warns us of wolves in sheeps clothing so we should consider ourselves warned!NorthernSparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06100045516679165425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074143639047513815.post-83014482798168130022012-07-31T12:09:33.703-05:002012-07-31T12:09:33.703-05:00Dear NorthernSparrow,
I appreciate your answer. T...Dear NorthernSparrow, <br />I appreciate your answer. Thank you for your efforts! <br /><br />Yes, Jesus Christ is my Savior. I have been His follower from the year 1978. <br /><br />During my "USA years" (in the 80's) I was following Billy Graham's teachings a lot, - and I have also read his books after that. I always have liked Billy Graham and that's why I was so sad I found that Youtube video of the conversation between Billy Graham and Robert Schuller. <br />I'm really happy you mentioned that article "THE ONLY WAY". Thanks! <br /><br />Are you aware of "A Common Word At Yale", "Loving God And Neighbor Together"? <br />In its list, among others are: <br />Rev. Dr. Robert Schuller and <br />Rick Warren,(The Purpose Driven Life). <br />(There are many famous names on that list.) <br />The address is: <br />http://www.yale.edu/faith/acw/acw.htm <br />What do you think about this Common Word? <br /><br />Have a blessed day! <br /><br />A Sparrow from Finland :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074143639047513815.post-5890842435295484842012-07-30T11:48:29.705-05:002012-07-30T11:48:29.705-05:00OK, I understand now what you are asking and I tha...OK, I understand now what you are asking and I thank you for your questions - I have been following Billy Graham's teaching from my youth and I am 100% sure that Billy Graham believes and teaches that Jesus is the only way of Salvation. What has happened is that people, through the influence of Satan take a small part of what was said and distort it to cause unbelief among people who are doubting or weak in faith. ( you will see this kind of distortion also in politics regularly) What I believe Billy Graham was refering to is found in Romans 1:19 and 20 where it says: 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.<br /> 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:<br />This means that every human on the planet has some sort of opportunity to see that God is real - through creation you can see that God is real. God gives this opportunity to every person and when God sees a person is searching for Him, He provides further opportunites for that person to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. God can put a tract in your path, provide a friend that can help you or give you a dream,( which He has done to Muslim people) and so He calls people to Himself in various ways. He will give more to anyone who is honestly searching for Him. God looks at the heart and to the person that He gives more to, from that person more is required. <br />I would also like to point out that in the recent Canadian edition of Decision Magazine, April 2012 edition, Billy Graham wrote an article entitled "THE ONLY WAY". I would encourage you to get a copy of this particular magazine and read the entire article. I quote from the article where Billy Graham writes (" The facts concerning His virgin birth, His sinless life, His sacrificial and substitutionary death, His resurrection and ascension to the right hand of the Father and the glorious hope of His return must not be diluted or distorted in any way. Jesus is the only Christ, He is also God, our Lord and Savior.......Only the divine Savior could die as the perfect and complete sacrifice for our sins .....The Bible tells us He is the only way. The Bible says you must confess your sins and receive Jesus Chrsit by faith as your Lord and Savior....") <br />I hope this clears things up for you my friend. Do you know Christ as your Savior? May God Bless you as you seek Him everyday.NorthernSparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06100045516679165425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074143639047513815.post-43550209175761519652012-07-30T09:25:43.493-05:002012-07-30T09:25:43.493-05:00Hello, again! :-)
