: : : Dear Jason,
: : : It makes perfect sense when a person has been lost, has been ignorant, has been in darkness, and then finds the Light, that (s)he would then proclaim what has been found.
: : : Jesus says: (Matt 13:44-46) "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it."
: : : When a person has found the Pearl of Great Price, why would (s)he be silent about it?
: : : When the Pharisees tried to silence Christ's disciples, Jesus said to them (Luke 19:40): "I tell you that if these should keep silent, the very stones would immediately cry out."
: : : Come, Jason, discover what millions of people for centuries have discovered about Jesus.

: : Dear Rapheal,
: : You indeed do speak the truth. As James (5:16) says "the earnest prayer of a rightous person has great power and wonderful results"
: : A branch is a growth of the vine, produced to bear fruit. It has only that one purpose, bear fruit. As are we in Christ. The believer, the branch of Christ, the heavenly vine. It is our to live exclusively so Christ may bear fruit through him. A true Christian is devoted to the work of Bearing Christs fruit.
: : The sweetest and freshest taste of the fruit, is the first of the season, when it is all new to the world. As is the New Christian. The new born, young, zealous believer spreads the word/fruit of the Lord so brightly, that many are blinded by it.
: : The Light of the Son is truly the truth, why keep quiet?
: : Blessed be,
: : Collin
: To Both Collin and Rapheal,
: I understand your convictions for wanting to put the quotes from the bible on the board. But, to be honest, if I wanted to read these I would read the bible as apposed to looking at them here.
: May I refrase my statement to say maybe we could get more input about other scriptures, such as the Corin, or others and maybe even compare and
: contrast, or something of the sort. I just think this board would be more interesting if it isn't so one sided.
Dear Jason,
Do you read the Bible? If not, why not?
Why do you feel that the Qur'an would be more interesting than the Bible?
What is it that you would like to compare about the world views of Christians versus Muslims?
