The Muslim must be respected when they are doing the right things, and in fact they are our friends and neighbours. This will give time for us to say sorry to them, and let them say sorry to us. And we are not looking for hostility. The Muslims are people like us, no much different, they eat, they sleep, they work, they live, and they die.
Only different is the way they seek the truth. They have their way in seeking the truth. We have our way in seeking the Truth. They reject that Lord Jesus is the Way, Truth and the Life...in that we are not agreed with them, because of Jesus, we are different. Some of them have gone too far and become terrorist, what we must take heed is, those extreme teachings.
War against the terrorists, is not the war on Islam. Other than that, Muslim are happy with their life, with their treasures and pleasures on earth. So we rather pray for them. There are hates infused by the issue of the land of the Israelites and Palestinians. Who is the owner of the promised land? In the beginning, historically, Abraham was their fore father. The owner of the Land.
There is a period of peace for them, and we must work for that peace making.
And the end is, let them settle at Armageddon. As far as we concerned, we must pray for Israel, Zion and Jerusalem. Let there be peace, and there is time for war.
Christians are undone! If we did not pray for them. We must not forget we are the wild branches...grafted in the true Vine...we should not have a haughty heart, in attacking our fellow brother in Christian, just because of a few missing words or pages from the MSS...We are not better than the Muslim, if we are attacking our fellow Christians.
For 2000 years since Christian crucifixion, since then, the Church lived with various Bible version, the church lives with imperfect MSS, the church read different Texts, even though the church accept different imperfect translations, the church, our catholic church, accept the Bible is the inspired Word of God.
No even one crucial truth had been ignored by the faithful followers of Christ. God had preserved the Bible for us, in different Versions, this is the bigger picture. This the way we seek the truth...we should not take the extreme view about the Bible. That God only preserved the Bible in a single TR...other than this TR is not the word of God, this is undone.
We should pray that we may have better understanding about the Bible, especially in the End time, rather than quarreling for a single TR, in this, I felt I am undone too. Wanton ? ! Who is the peace maker, he will be called the child of God ? Right !
I hope the theologians may pray for peace in the Middle east, and also pray for unity in Christ, and continue to see we Chinese are the wild branches, we are all the wild branches...
Without Christ, we cannot do anything, If God is willing, we may live another day, we may do this and do that, if God is willing we may continue to read and study the Bible, may God be true. God kept His promises, let us not worry for tomorrow, let us not worry for the Bible missing words, God kept those missing words in some safe places. Angels also the servants for man, why we have to worry about those missing words, rather we take our energy to explain the truth. If you like KJV, continue with KJV, if other like CUV continue with CUV, each one carry his owner burden. Let the weak say he is strong in the Lord, let the weaker brother say Christ is his strength.
Do not forget the weaker brother in Christ...what they need is courage...do not discourage them. May God help us.
Why the theologians who teach the Verbal Plenary Preservation keep on looking for troubles in the Bible, aren't they bless the people who read the Bible by faith. Why don't the theologians look for the truth and preach the Truth, look for the Way and preach the way, look for the life and preach, The life of Christ? Why they discourage the Chinese who read the Chinese Bible, with little faith, we Chinese continue to look for Jesus in CUV, the Chinese, is this wrong?
With little faith I ask, we Chinese reads the Chinese Bible, aren't we have the same Lord with English Bible reader? Having the Same truth? Same way? Same life? What make the theologians different from us the Chinese? Is it wrong to read the Chinese Bible, if not, why they judge the Chinese Bible Reader, like judging an enemy in Christ, like a thorn in the fresh?
What has cause the theologians who teach the Verbal Plenary Preservation, to fall into such of delusions, until they do not know who is their brother in Christ? Who is their real enemy actually?
Do you think I am sleeping when I am saying this? May God bless the Muslim. May God bless the theologians too. Amen
