The Lord Is With You

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 12, 2015

In this passage, it almost seems like Peter is heavily focused on persecution of the Christians he's writing to... and then he just switches gears and talks about something totally unrelated. It seems that way, but it's not.

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

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Aug 26, 2015

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
