Christians and Muslims disagree on the nature of God, salvation, the prophets, and true

00:05

Scripture. For the great majority of us on both sides, we will not change our views. You believe in Allah and Muhammad as his prophet.

00:14

I am a Christian, saved by the grace of my Lord and Savior Jesus. In obedience to Christ and according to the

00:20

Bible, I seek to expose error and teach the truth. And as a

00:26

Christian, I teach that Christianity is true. Therefore, Islam cannot be right.

00:32

I say this right up front so that no Muslim will accuse me of being deceptive or of having a hidden agenda.

00:39

My goal is to convert Muslims to Christ so that they might find salvation in Him.

00:46

However, please realize that I have no hatred for Muhammad or Muslims or the

00:51

Koran. I was never wronged by a Muslim and I have never had any childhood trauma involving anything

00:58

Islamic. Instead, as a Christian, I seek to bring glory to the Lord Jesus and in so doing,

01:04

I must teach that Islam is false because it contradicts the Bible. If you are a

01:09

Muslim, I know you will disagree and perhaps you will take it as an insult or find some form of persecution in this.

01:16

I hope you don't do that. But I am simply being faithful to my Lord in defending

01:22

His truth as revealed in the Bible. I realize that there are many good Muslims in the world who are peaceful, honest, compassionate and who desire to serve

01:30

God in truth. I don't find any fault for Muslims in this. Likewise, I hope you will not find fault with my honest intention to do the same according to the convictions of my heart since I seek to serve my

01:41

God. You may condemn me as an infidel and that's fine, but my hope is for salvation that is not found in Islam and its balance of good works versus bad works.

01:53

Instead, it is found in the work of Jesus who died on the cross and rose from the dead.

01:59

Nevertheless, if I mistakenly misrepresent Islam on the KarmaSite or in these videos, I take full responsibility for it.

02:06

It is not my desire, however, to produce a false image of Islam and then attempt to destroy the false image.

02:13

I want to properly represent Islam and I can only ask that if you think I do something that is not accurate to let me know, with documentation, and if you do,

02:24

I will do my best to correct any errors I might have said in this video or on the website.

02:30

I will do this within reason because a difference of opinion on a matter does not warrant a correction.

02:37

But if I have some error in facts, or in definition, or dates, or doctrines of Islam, I would appreciate being corrected.

02:44

I do not seek to attack and call Muslims names or use emotional and poorly reasoned arguments as proofs for my position, as too many

02:53

Christians have attempted to do in the past. Rather, I seek to know Islam truthfully, convey a factual and honest representation of it to its readers, and, of course, to tackle what

03:04

I consider its errors as it is compared to the Bible. Finally, my desire is that you find the forgiveness of Jesus and the love of God that abounds in my heart and the hearts of His redeemed people.

03:19

Salvation in Christianity is based completely on the free gift of Jesus and His death on the cross, not by how well we follow

03:28

God. By trusting in Jesus alone, and not in your own works, you too can be saved from the final judgment of God, which can only be found in the grace of Christ Jesus.
