I went to Turkey and gave a Lady of Guadalupe image to my host family (friends of mine). I am hoping and praying for their conversion. Amen. 🙏🏻

[@rachelc274]

She's right. The Catholic Church needs to rid itself of its fear of offending others with the truth that can set us all free.

34:10 This is a key realization: from its beginning, Islam has fought strawman versions of Judaism and Christianity. Not only do they portray the Torah as a single document that was given to Moses and Joshua and then corrupted, but the real mind-blower is that they think Jesus was given an actual book called the "Injeel" (from the Greek "Evangel") to teach out of. I think the four Gospels are supposed to be corrupted versions of this original Injeel. (Muslims: the original Q-source believers.) They apply their theory of Quranic inspiration to Scriptures that came about in totally different ways, and if Moses and Jesus didn't "receive" the Scriptures like Muhammad "received" the Quran, then the Islamic history of religion falls apart. In short, Islam remakes Christianity and Judaism in its own image, and has never actually understood the nature of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Gospel.

Excellent cultural context on Islam.

[@loveisaiah622]

Actually if you look to the TEXT of Islam the real hero of the Quran is Isa ibn Maryam (Jesus son of Mary) . Jesus is born holy Surah 19:19 he is Kalam (WORD) Allah, Ruh(Spirit) Allah he didn’t die and is “Alive” with Allah for last 2000yrs and he will come on judgement day and kill the Antichrist. Allah is ABSENT (he speaks in the 3rd person) in the entire Quran. Be not deceived Islam is a revelation from Satan. Satan and Allah both deceives.

[@Kitiwake]

I'm inclined to agree. While I live in a Muslim country, the people however, have a Catholic heart.

[@marigalvez296]

Indeed the Holy Spirit!!! Do doubt!

[@stephenmathai6584]

Christian Jesus is different than Muslim ‘Isa nabi . Quran teaches that Isanabi is only a prophet. Isa nabe never crucified ; never died on the cross; never risen from dead . Quran teaches that Isa nabi ‘s mother called Mai yam conceived Isa mai when an Angel blow in to Miriam vegina . Mayium’s genealogy is different from bible Mary’s geneology.

If there is a way of making an act of contrition, and a virtual communion, is there a way of asking for and receiving, from the LORD, virtual baptism? If not, it seems we need such a dispensation.

[@michaelhaywood8262]

There is such a thing as Baptism of Desire.

[@margueritelangton6362]

@@michaelhaywood8262 😃Really? How does it work? This should be broadcast widely, as there are many different communities who are being persecuted for being Christian. A Baptism of Desire - presumably only logged by the Recoding Angel, would remove many of the risks of conversion. A woman with children, for instance, would be reluctant to risk her life and leave her children orphaned. Deyra Little obviously doesn't know this.

[@dannydoj]

Arab Christians address God as Allah because the name of God in Arabic is “Allah.” Melkites and Maronites do this. The important thing is to describe Allah as a loving Father and not as a slave monger.

[@stephenmathai6584]

Christian understand God as something like father son relationship where as muslimconcept of God is something like Master Slave relationship. Christians belive that if you obey or observe 10 commandment then you will be rewarded wnen they die. Where as muslims belive that whether you good or bad ultimately God who decides

[@-Viva-Cristo-Rey]

This is a very shallow teaching of our Christian faith. Those who love Jesus will keep his commandments and will enjoy the rewards / merits in heaven.

[@Kitiwake]

Begs the question, is the god of the Jews God the father?

[@gregorybarrett4998]

As with Derya's answer, it depends what you mean. Whereas Islam is at best a human response, without benefit of divine providence, to elements of revelation, the heritage of Judaism is the interaction of God and man to prepare for the fulness of revelation in the Incarnation. So the interaction really was between God and man, and this God is the one and only God, the first Person of whom is the foundation and source of all being, including that of the second Person of that one divine being. Since that second Person proceeds by way of generation, and God has wisely provided a dim reflection of Himself in creation, including in sexual reproduction by which the male of a dimorphic species becomes father of those he generates, God is rightly and properly called Father only of the second Person of the Trinity, and by extension through adoption of those who through baptism are incorporated into Christ's body.
