Witnessing to Muslims
Bridging the Barriers
As a natural bridge forms the pathway between two land masses, it is our desire to form a bridge that Christians can use to communicate the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Muslim people. This chapter is meant to provide a method by which we may share the wonderful news of the gospel of Jesus Christ to Muslim people.
Acts 17:22-24
"Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, "Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious; for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription:
TO THE UNKNOWN GOD
Therefore, the one whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you:" NKJV
The Muslim people do revere and love the Jesus Christ of the Qur'an. They believe that they honor Him more than Christians because of the fact that they do not believe that He was crucified. They don't feel that God would have subjected Him to the humiliation and pain! However, even the Qur'an addresses the fact that Jesus prophesied his death and resurrection. In fact, many of the references in the Qur'an speak of Him as being the Word, the Messiah, the one Nearest to God, and the Spirit of God. But even as the men of Areopagus worshipped the unknown God, many Muslim people

COMPLETE EVANGELISM BEGINS with under-standing the purpose of the church, human nature, and how to be led by the Holy Spirit.
Jesus wants His church to grow numerically. Visible disciples in local churches should be the fruit of evangelism. They often are not because churches fail to take into account the social as well as the spiritual nature of unbelievers. Finding the most open persons to Christ and the church while they are open is the key to growth. These individuals are found by looking for common indicators of receptivity and being led by the Holy Spirit.
Evangelism Jesus' Way
JESUS TAUGHT HIS DISCIPLES principles of complete evangelism. His followers in the early church knew of them and practiced them. Christ described this complete evangelism when He outlined His plan for the church in Matthew 16. The disciples listened carefully to His words and in their lifetime saw the church He described grow.
Matthew 16:13-19, "When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, 'Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?' So they said, 'Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.' He said to them, 'But who do you say that I am?' And Simon Peter answered and said, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.' Jesus answered and said to him, `Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven..' "
There are five points made in this statement of Jesus that give insight into His vision for complete evangelism that produces growth in the church.
The Church Is To Be Built On Jesus
Peter declared that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
Jesus called this declaration the rock on which He would build His church. Evangelistic efforts to add people to the church, but not to relationship with Jesus have no eternal value. Evangelism must include a clear presentation of the gospel of Jesus. It is possible for a church to grow numerically by allowing the uncon¬verted to become members. A church can also grow solely by adding transfer¬ring Christians from other churches. Surely, neither of these growth methods were meant when Jesus said, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest" (Matthew 9:37-38). Jesus wants laborers to reach the lost.
The Church Is Designed To Grow
The word build in this passage refers to the building of a house. The church will not become a completed building until it adds all the people destined to make up that building. Jesus told His followers to go into all the world and make disciples. He told them to preach the gospel to every person. While there remains someone who has not heard the gospel, potential disciples exist. As long as there remain potential disciples for Jesus, Christians must be working to add them to the church.
It is the will of God that the church find lost sheep and grow as a result. The early disciples understood this clearly and worked to see God's will come about.
"Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them." Acts 2:41
"…praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved." Acts 2:47
"And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women," Acts 5:14
"For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord." Acts 11:24

Is the Bible the Word of God?
INTRODUCTION
Many people experience great difficulty in believing that the Bible is actually the Word of God. Some individuals entertain sincere doubts concerning its divine authenticity, accuracy, and reliability. This is a common dilemma which not only affects most unbelievers, but many Christians have struggled with this issue as well.
Many reject the Christian argument that the Bible is the inspired Word of God on the grounds that this claim is simplistic, shallow, and intellectually unconvincing. For this reason, many non-Christians demand more substantial proof.
This booklet is designed to answer this need in a concise yet comprehensive manner. It presents overwhelming proof that the Bible is not just another book, but the "Book of Books". It does so by offering the sincere sceptic a series of logical and convincing reasons why the Bible should be accepted as the only inspired Word of God.

WHAT IS MEANT WHEN WE SAY THAT THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD?
This simply means that the Bible is the divinely inspired and infallible revelation of God to man, rather than the mere words of men to other men.
When we say the Bible is the Word of God, we do not mean that all the words are God's words. Some are the words of men, angels, demons, and even Satan. However, it is in its entirety the Word of God in the sense that God, through the agency of the Holy Spirit, divinely directed and inspired the writing of it and supernaturally controlled its overall construction, design, and recording of contents. In other words, it is not the product of human devising, manipulation, or imagination, but God was the author and architect behind its creation from beginning to end. |

Jesus warns us in the Bible to "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves." Matt. 7:15
In other words, there will be people who appear to be Christians (sheep) but beneath the surfaces, they are deceivers. He goes on to say in the next verse, "You know them by their fruits." Matt. 7:16
This fruit can be clearly seen if we go beneath the surface and examine what they are teaching. The Bible strongly warns Christians to beware if "...he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted..." II Cor. 11:4
In this teaching, we will present the Historic Christian doctrines concerning JESUS, the HOLY SPIRIT, and the GOSPEL. We will contrast these truths with the false teachings widely circulated in the last 150 years through various so-called Christian Cults.
