was not Abraham an Arab

[johnny botwrigh]

Abraham the father of both the Jewish and the Arab nations, was an Arab, and the angel of the Lord said to Hagar, that he would multiply her seed exceedingly, she was tolled to call her son ISHMAEL,
And he will be a wild man, and his hand will be agaisnt every man and every mans hand agaisnt him, Abraham the father of many nations.
Who is not to say that Gods plan is not big enough, and that plan will not include jew, christian, and muslim all the seed of Abraham, us by the promise of faith, For his Glory and name sake.

Abraham was a Hebrew and a descendant of Noah through Shem.

God did predestine both the Jew and the Gentile to be saved; that includes Muslims.

Your analogy of Jew, Christian and Muslim is wrong.

That would be Jewish Christians and Gentile Christians, including Arab Christians. Christ is still the only way!

No matter who you are, you must profess your faith in Jesus Christ and be born Again!

Who is my neighbour?

Who is my neighbour? When Jesus was asked this, he tolled the story of the good samaritan. samaritans, who the jews had no dealings with, infact Jesus was also accussed of being a samaritan and having a devil ,by these non tollerant jews,
he said the man had answered correctly, the neigbour was the samaritan, who had shown mercy, he was tolled to go and do like wise.
The man had also corrcetly said he was to love his neigbour, as himself, do unto others as you would have others do unto you,
Jesus also tells us to love our enemys, what is the true meaning of love.
I do not consider some one who has been led to believe another belief, that he or she must adere to, or face death, my enemy.
I would rather try and lead them to a knowledge of the living water.
The Lord Jesus christ,
not only would i show them respect, also i would be first to extend the hand of friendship.
and not try and wring what little water he had, out of him, like wise my brothers and sisters in christ, Jesus came to give us life and life abundently.
when Jesus spoke with the samarian women, Jesus asked her for a drink, and Jesus said if she had asked him, he would have given her living water.
and went on to say God is Seeking those who will worship him in spirit and truth.
Seeking among every one, every nation, every race. johnny

? I am not sure what your saying.
Are you saying that you believe in Universalism?

I come to set the captives free.

THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOITED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR, HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES,
AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND,
TO SET FREE THOSE DOWN TRODDEN,
TO PROCLAIM THE FAVARABLE YEAR OF THE LORD. Luke chapter4,verse 18

To set the captives free, this should be our intension and calling also, who are the captives,?
there are plenty in christain sects, mormons, Jw, christain science,ect, there are plenty bound up in religion, that is cloaked with christainty.
people also who are sitting in churches, where manipulation, control, and heavy sheparding is the order of the day.
They to not experencing, the fullness of the Lord, or the freedom of his spirit, rather bound, and often left feeling condemed, the life wrung out of them.

There are plenty under communism, there are plenty under the heavy yoke of Islam, who to would love to be free.
Where the spirit of the Lord there is Freedom. you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

Mathew chapter 11 27/28

come unto me all who are weary and heavy -laden, and i will give you rest, take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for i am gentle and humble in heart, and you shall find rest for your souls,
for my yoke is easy, and my load is light.

Christain, jew, muslim, hindu, and non believer under the worlds yoke.
many christains are under the wrong yoke.
we all need to be under the Lords yoke, and his yoke only.
if you are under the wrong yoke, what ever faith, creed, or belief , you need to cast it of.


Isaiah 60 paints a wonderful picture of the world , Arab nations turning To the Lord Jesus,
For God so loved the world.

O.K.
I agree with most of what you say.
So,I guess we agree that God does have a plan:

Salvation through Jesus Christ only, no matter who you are or where you are from, whether it be Jew or Gentile, or who ever else.

A Christian is a Christian, is a Christian; only Christians will be saved!

 

[johnny botwrigh]

A believer

As mentioned christainy takes many forms, or what is deemed to be christainity, many of which is a far cry, from what Jesus intended, for those who have found faith in him, and believed in him.
People here in the uk, would say we are a christian nation, for most they are in darkness and not in the light.

The early believers, where called followers of the way.
John 3.16
For God so loves the world, he gave his only begotten son, that who ever believes in him, should not perish , but have eternal life.
What is our main duty, is to believe on the one God sent, the Lord Jesus.

True believers, if they want to call them selves christians fine.
i refer my self as a christian, to a non believer, or filling in a form. then i find myself explaining, the christainty that i believe in, so not to be confused with the different brands of christainty.

if some one said to me they are a true believer, fine

intrestingly Jesus will tell people to depart from him, who say Lord have we not done many wonderful works in your name,
Jesus replys i never knew you. Let us press on to know the Lord.

God bless johnny.

That's very simple. Muslims do not believe in Jesus as Savior, Son of GOD

Mark 16:16
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

And Johnny, don't try to promote "muslim" teachings here in the forums.
