Revelation 3:15 I know thy works,that thou art neither cold nor hot:I would thou wert cold or hot.
vs.16 So then because thou art lukewarm,and neither cold or hot,I spue thee out of my mouth.
Political Correctness,Bibical Ignorance,Afraid of loosing social standing,position, pensions,etc. are all forms of lukewarmness.

Best way I know how to witness to Muslims is to divulge its origin and how their ancestors were converted by the sword as proven by their very existence... believe or die no exceptions.
Not much of a choice.
Even less evidence for truth.
Allah was the moon god of the kaabah (360 gods) and Mohammed decided to turn the polytheist system into a monotheist system with his own tribal god as that one and only god al ylah.
They react with dispassion, anger and even hate... but the seed is planted... if the soil is fertile for salvation or simply finding out truth... they will investigate and...

Hi Brother Paul,
I have also had opportunity to witess to Muslims.
You make an excellent point. If within the walls of our own church (that being the people who make up the body of Christ), we are tolerating sins that are so warned against............what makes us think that God will give us more strength in our witness against the lies........with our blatant disregard towards what has plainly been revealed in His Word.
May God help us to embrace(with the whole heart)
the word that has been revealed to us in the Holy Scriptures. I trust that God will impart to us greater strength if we cultivate higher regard for what He HAS ALREADY GIVEN.
Muslims will not be won by intellect or tricky persuation, but by the love of God manifest in the lives of those who are willing to take the Word of God seriously. Pray for the help of the true witness of God.
With love in Christ, Daniel

Though today we seem to be calling out the sin of homosexuality, are we not ignoring the equally abominable sin of fornication? Is the one really worse than the other in His eyes...in His heart? Are we "tolerating" fornication along with the many god's of this world? Jezebelism justifies sexual uncleaness (Acts 15:28, 29). Indeed, I think we are...

this is true...we ignore some sins and brow beat others.

The other day I was speaking to a moslem man I know named Ahmed (pronounced Ahkch-med). I asked him why it was that militant Wahhabist Islam hates America and calls it "the great Satan"? He told me that the basis is our doctrine of the toleration of all views, and our so-called freedom of religion. Apparently, they believe we should only "tolerate" gospel practicing Christians, Torah observant Jews, and of course Islam, which of course to them is the epitome of God's revelation to man.
They see in us allowing the temples of all gods as the abomination of King Solomon (who they otherwise honor) who in allowing the gods of all his wives and concubines to allegedly keep the peace and make his nation blessed in the eyes of the world, actually caused the division of God's Kingdom and destroyed his plan for the earth. In believing himself to be open, and loving of all, he became the enemy of God and infected God's called ones with the error of Jezebel causing them to commit physical as well as spiritual adultery and tolerating it. In this militant Islam sees itself as a sword of God, called to show the sharp contrast between God's righteousness and worldliness.
To the militant Wahhabist (my summation) we tolerate sin and do not call it out and expose it. If this is true, perhaps we do not want to make waves and think we can catch more flies with honey, but we are called to be salt. Salt stings the wound but also heals and preserves the healthy flesh. We often tolerate our own sins relying on God's grace, which reliance in and of itself is not wrong or bad, but at some point there is a line where we may cross over into tempting the Lord.
Those preachers and teachers who preach harsh and boldly God's will against the world and the toleration of worldliness in the Church and Temples and Mosques actually have their respect (though because they refuse to submit to Islam they are still seen as infidels...to which I say, the Qur'an demands submittance to God not Islam).
But I ask you, are we tolerating Jezebelism in our houses, churches, and the nation? Are we, whose food is the word of God, partaking or allowing our families and neighbors to equally eat also of the words and beliefs of the world and those philosophies that establish themselves against the Christ of God?

This has left me feeling the conviction of the Holy Spirit this fine morning, for which I can only thank my Lord. Perhaps I have missed something in being true to God's will by not warning my family, friends, and neighbors appropriately...and much to my surprize, it took a moslem to make me consider this (the Lord works in strange and mysterious ways). I am aware of the price, but I also know the prize that awaits me, so of what shall I fear? Only Him if I do not what He has called me to do.
In light of this contemplation...the Church in America appears to be as Thyatira! May the Lord have mercy on us all. Please share any thoughts you may have...and let me close by saying I love the way the Lord matures us...each according to His need of us at each time...oh praise your Holy name Father and thank you for your Light which comes every morning...in you is no darkness forever.
Each of us should see how wonderful and blessed we are to be gifted to share His words in this lost and dying world...but with that comes great responsibility as well. Thanks be to the Lord.
The Lord bless,
Brother Paul
