Hi Pastor John,<\/span><\/p>\n

I have started reading your F\u200bather\u200b \u200band Son book again.\u00a0 I wanted to \u200bfind out what Muslims thought about Jesus\u200b,\u200b and I read some excerpts from the Quran.<\/span><\/p>\n

Muslims believe that Jesus existed and that Jesus was born from a Virgin, and they believe he was the Messiah or prophet for the Jews and that Jesus is coming back again to set things in order for the Jews.\u200b \u200b But they do not believe that God had a Son or that Jesus was for them because their prophet is Muhammad, who came \u200b600 years \u200bafter Jesus.\u00a0 Believing that God did not have a Son is believing that Salvation DOES NOT<\/strong> comes through Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was reading \u200bthese verses in your F\u200bather\u200b \u200band Son book\u200b:\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

John 17<\/span><\/p>\n

20.\u00a0 Not only do I pray for these, but also for those who believe in me through their word,<\/span><\/p>\n

21.\u00a0 That they all might be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they may also be one in us so that the world might believe that you sent me.<\/span><\/p>\n

22.\u00a0 And the glory you\u2019ve given me, I\u2019ve given them, that they might be one as we are one:<\/span><\/p>\n

23a. I in them, and you in me, that they might be perfected in unity.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At the end of verse 21, Jesus said\u200b that\u200b if we were one with \u200bhim and \u200bh\u200bis Father\u200b,\u200b the whole world may believe that God sent Jesus.\u200b \u200b I thought about all of the divisions in \u200bChristianity and \u200bhad to \u200b\u200bask myself, if we \u200bdon’t \u200bobey God and \u200bcome out of that \u200bconfused, divided \u200babomination, how in the world can we expect Muslims or anyone else to \u200bbelieve the gospel and follow the Spirit\u200b?\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

Paul had an anointing \u200bfrom God through Jesus, because of his experience with Jesus. \u200b \u200bHe had \u200bthe message of the true Messiah for ALL of mankind.\u00a0 \u200b\u200bIf only our Brothers \u200band\u200b Sisters in Christianity could \u200bbelieve the message that Paul had\u200b, they would become \u200bone with the Father \u200band\u200b the Son, the\u200bn\u200b we would see more people leave that abomination an\u200bd\u200b be\u200bcome\u200b example\u200bs\u200b \u200bof God’s righteousness \u200bfor \u200ball the world to see. \u200b People, Muslim and otherwise,\u200b\u00a0 would see Jesus\u200b’\u200b undivided love from the Father, \u200band see \u200btrue Holiness \u200band worship\u200b of\u200b the Father, and happy and peaceful lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200bReading the book and thinking on these things \u200bhas given me a deeper thankfulness for Paul and the love he had for God’s people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hope all is well there and you’re getting some good things done,<\/span><\/p>\n
