Streams Of Truth

Sunnih muslim scholars through history  have taught that the true followers of Jesus believed he was only a man; just a prophet; not divine at all. They also teach that later a dissident  group rose teaching Jesus was divine. Some of those scholars assert that Paul of Tarsus was the one who misguided the large majority.  Some of these Muslim scholars taught the followers of Jesus had disputes all along about his deity.  Those scholars argue this is evident by the many theological controversies which persisted during the first three or four centuries of the Christian era. They argue that the true followers of Jesus remained in the shadows until the arrival of the Qur’an through the prophet Muhammad.   History evidence plays a decisive role on supporting or disproving the claims of the Qur'an, at least in this case. However, one would have to challenge the claim that the Qur'an is the word of God if it is misaligned with historical facts. My question to Mu...

Esta mañana oraba a Dios sobre que compartir esta tarde. Un par de preguntas vinieron a mi mente, pensando sobre qué hablar del Rey David: 1. Cuantas esposas tuvo David? 2. Acaso la poligamia es condonada en La Biblia? Recuerdo hace 5 años, uno de mis grandes amigos me dijo: "mi hijo está empezando a hacerme preguntas difíciles ". Su hijo tenía 11 años en ese entonces. Cualquiera al escuchar estas palabras, depronto piensa que se esta refiriendo a que a cuento de la florecita y la abejita.

Antes de abordar o intentar responder esta pregunta, quiero traer tu atención a dónde nos encontramos en nuestro estudio . En nuestra primera reunión hablamos de un factor importante en nuestra relación con Dios: nuestro corazón . No hay nada que nosotros podamos hac...

Study on what extremists use for ideology   Most moderate Muslims I know agree with this statement. However, one has to wonder, what's Isis preaching, and where do they get their doctrine from? After the events occurred in Jakarta on January 14th, I heard and saw lots of rejection from the majority of moderate Muslims. Some said, for example that they can't believe how they kidnap and use sex slaves. One person even told me "The prophet would have never allowed it". This is not new. Even before the attacks in Jakarta, people rejected ISIS actions: http://m.thejakartapost.com/news/2014/09/01/your-letters-the-hijacking-islam.html It angers me to see the exceptionally brutal methods used by the group bearing the Islamic symbol. It’s nothing more than identity theft. The mass beheading is sickening. The capture of the beautiful young Yazidi women for God knows what purpose by those sick men is nauseating. These terrorists have brought shame and disgrace to humanity. They ...
