    The Spirit In The Writings Of The Apostles Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Aug 11, 2015
     | 3,299 views

    The apostles, especially Paul, said much about the walk in the Spirit. We would do well not to ignore what was said.

    IN THE WRITINGS OF PAUL Romans 1:11-12. 11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established-- 12 that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. Paul wanted to be with the Roman believers. His heart ...read more

    The Koran: Some Introductory Matters Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Aug 12, 2015
     | 3,989 views

    Every Christian in these trying times needs to have at least a basic understanding of Islam and its holy book. The following lessons will supply that need.

    About this series of lessons As a student and teacher of the Christian Bible, what we believe to be the very Word of God, I know what my faith teaches. I am now learning what Islam teaches. There is a huge clash. The Muslim holy book is unknown to a large number of Muslims, and almost all ...read more

    Ishmael, Jesus, Ecumenicity, Persecution, Conversions To Islam Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Aug 13, 2015
     | 3,504 views

    A series of important considerations regarding Islam and Muhammad before we get into the actual text of Koran.

    Lesson 4, Isaac and Ishmael, in the Bible and the Koran The book of Genesis records a delightful story of one who is the father of all the faithful ones of all time. This man, Abraham, is promised a son who will carry on his line and be a blessing to all humanity. Trying to help God out, Abraham ...read more

    How We Got The Koran And How We Got The Bible Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Aug 14, 2015
     | 3,592 views

    Text transmission is a critical part of our faith. We must be assured we have heard from God. Here is a comparison of the two processes that brought forth the 2 Holy Books of our faiths.

    Lesson 9, Which Comes First? Is it a full-blown religion, or a Book, that comes first from God? Strange question, perhaps, but important, I think. Possible answer one: In Israel, it was the religion. That is, the encounter. For many hundreds of years, there was no full book in Israel. But the ...read more

    The First Three Chapters (Suras) Of The Koran. Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Aug 21, 2015
     | 3,508 views

    We enter cautiously into the very unusual world of Islam via the first 3 chapters of its holiest book.

    Lesson 14 , More Introductory Matters, and Sura 1 Note: From this point on, all quotations from the Koran are taken from The Generous Qur'an, copyright 2009, used by permission of Usama Dakdok Publishing, LLC. So we enter in. Here in my hand is a Koran. Well, not really. It is very like a ...read more

    Strange Twists Of The Jesus Story By "Gabriel." Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Aug 24, 2015
     | 3,531 views

    Muhammad started with the truth, so as to make it familiar to Christians of the day, then twisted it, added to it, subtracted from it.

    Lesson 20, No Friendship with Infidels! The end of Sura 2, "the cow" , and the beginning of Sura 3, called "The family of Imran." We'll go through verse 31. You may recall that a story of Abraham and some animals and a dream is recorded in Genesis 15. The Koran has its own special version ...read more

    Mecca And Medina And Muhammad Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Aug 25, 2015
     | 3,122 views

    From Medina to Mecca, transitions in Muhammad's thinking. More strange "Bible" stories. Muhammad's concept of who God is and what He does.

    Lesson 23, No Questions Allowed. Sura 5, called "The Table" As we move on, please take note here that so far, except for those few verses of Sura 1, everything you have heard, up to and including today's portion, was composed in Medina, and therefore, for the most part, has not been abrogated. ...read more

    Jihad, A Muslim Pharaoh, Noah's Drowned Son... And More Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Aug 26, 2015
     | 3,350 views

    It's all pretty strange territory for us, but Muhammad seems to be trying to show his awareness of Scripture by mentioning Bible names, then attaching weird narratives to them. Interesting, but so clearly contrived.

    Lesson 26, Jihadists All. Now we finish Sura 7, and then move to sura 8, called "The Spoils", and sura 9, "The repentant". The ending verses of chapter 7 are yet another reminder of the insecure future afforded mankind by Allah, Islam's god. Verse 179: "And indeed, we have created for hell ...read more

    Changing Jesus, And Muhammad's Personal Problems Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Aug 27, 2015
     | 2,685 views

    Muhammad does not claim to be a perfect man, and the Koran confirms that for us. Also see Muhammad's attempt to pull Jesus down, and the changes in the Gospel story that he (or his "angel" ) has manufactured.

    Lesson 29, Muhammad, Show Us Proof! Today we cover suras 14-17 . Sura 14 is called "Abraham" but only mentions the patriarch at the end, as the author of a prayer that, per the Bible, he never prayed. The chapter opens up with great promise, describing Koran as a book "we have sent down to you ...read more

    Nature, Wives, Heaven, Hell In The Koran Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Aug 28, 2015
     | 3,322 views

    How vastly different is the Bible narrative from the Koran. Yet Muhammad and his "angel" and 1 billion people on the planet today want us to believe that the Prophet of Mecca/Medina has merely updated God's revelation. See for yourself.

    Lesson 32, Talking Ants, Messenger Birds, and Frail Spiders. Today, suras 25-29 Sura 25 is about "the discriminator," a special gift given to Muhammad, to rightly discern what is true and what is not. Unfortunately his first act of discrimination in this chapter is to deny that the God of ...read more

    The So-Called "Satanic" Verses, And Conclusion. Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Aug 31, 2015
     | 2,589 views

    Muhammad in the Koran, a strange explanation of some missing verses, final suras, and my conclusions from this study.

    Lesson 35, How to Treat Muhammad, and "Satanic" Verses Today, suras 49-60 Beginning with this lesson, I will dispense with giving you the name of each sura, unless it is truly remarkable. Be assured that every sura is named for a particular reason, even if obscure to us. Sura 49 commences ...read more

    Jesus From Eternity, And Prophesied. (No Comparison To Muhammad) Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Sep 1, 2015
     | 3,894 views

    As I state in the message, comparing Jesus and Muhammad is pretty unfair. Jesus is eternal. Muhammad was temporal. Jesus is God. Muhammad is mere man, and admits it. Jesus is the Son of the Father, Muhammad was a spokesman for a distant god.

    JESUS: First, Last, and Best 1. Introduction There was a man named Muhammad. And there was a man named Jesus Christ. These two men call for your allegiance, one out of the history books, one by His ever-living Spirit. Their sayings and their lives are in total contradiction to one another. If one ...read more

    The Young Jesus And The Young Muhammad Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Sep 2, 2015
     | 3,463 views

    Here is a comparison of Jesus and Muhammad as relates to the announcement of their comings, their birth, their early childhood, and their formative years.

    5. Setting. Muhammad was born and raised in the land of Arabia. Seventh-century Arabia was a land of many gods, punctuated here and there with Jewish and Christian communities. The Christianity that came to represent Jesus in that area however was a far cry from the Jerusalem variety of the first ...read more

    Jesus And Muhammad Compared: Marriage, Miracles, Disciples, And More Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Sep 3, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,302 views

    Such vast differences between Jesus and Muhammad. Jesus a celibate, miracle worker, a very specific goal: to call out a people with whom He will reign. Muhammad married often, with no miracles, with a goal to conquer, by physical means, now...

    9. Identified. Here the Christian church is brought sadly into the story of Muhammad. The monastic movement was begun as a reaction to the worldliness that had crept into the church and wrested from it its former glory. Monks centered on the inner life. For some of these men we are grateful and in ...read more

    Comparing Jesus And Muhammad: Transfiguration,sin, And Much More Series

     | 3,736 views

    See how clearly defined is the difference in character, purpose and teaching of these two men (one of whom is also God).

    16. Opposition Both Muhammad and Jesus were at first tolerated then opposed severely by those who desired the status quo. Such will it ever be when new ideas come to a community. In both cases, it was a religious community that was being invaded with these ideas. With Muhammad, a military ...read more
