Your Turn

It is not a habit of mine, but perhaps I should re-evaluate that behaviour, of recommending books to people. But I have read Islam's version(s) of just who Christ is, a failed muslim prophet at best. To us Christians, he is the Son of God, sent as our saviour. As a child I thought about that saying over and over, that Christ died for our sins and it made no sense to me whatever. I would think of this man dying from crucifixion and think of that saying, nope, nothing there. But as I crossed the threshold into adulthood, I then understood my condition and my non-relationship with God, at that point I understood.

But I believe others can express this better than I can. Christians are encourage to examine their faith. But Lee Strobel was the Legal Editor of the Chicago Tribune, not a biased Christian when he decide to take on the role of a prosecutor and as an atheist, began an effort to compiling a case against Christ. He ended up naming his book, A Case for Christ.

I encourage Muslims, atheists, Christians and others to read it but if you do not have time, here is a website that outlines what he had discovered and why he ended up with a totally unexpected conclusion.

I realise a Muslim is not allowed to examine their faith, for those that believe in God, not the god called Allah who is at best a combination of things called God within the range of Muhammad's knowledge and Muhammad's conscious and unconscious imagination , it is evidence of the Islam's weakness and perhaps the most prominent reason for its inevitable demise.
