Iraqi's testimony

Friday, January 26, 2007

This evening, I had the privilege to listen in on the testimony of an Iraqi’s story, of how he lived in Iraq as well as his journey in searching out the truth. He now is a Christian in ministry, and one of the directors for the website http://www.answering-islam.org.
One thing that I didn’t think about came to light for me tonight. He was saying (and I’ve heard before) that Muslims say that the Bible is corrupted. They also say that it is (or was) the Word of God, as they say about the Quran. Here’s the question: If God can’t protect the Bible (His Word), then how can we be sure that He protected the Quran? They would have to be both right (assuming they are both the Word of God) but then that begs the question - how come they are in such conflict with each other?
Well, the result is obvious - The Bible is true, the Quran isn’t. The evidence, both through manuscripts as well as the content is overwhelmingly clear, and for that I’m thankful.
He was saying that most Muslims don’t like to talk about hard questions, like: “What happens to you after you die?” They have beliefs, that the way to guarantee paradise is to die in service to Allah. Other than that, your ‘good has to out weigh your bad’ - a common concept worldwide, in all other religions. So, if die a ‘normal’ death, then they don’t know for sure what’s going to happen when the ‘get there.’
It was questions like this that led this fellow to read the Quran, and then the Bible to finally come to be able to answer these questions.
