Comments on: Does Christianity have common ground with Islam? http://cafebiblia.com/?p=109 A blog about Christ, theology, and biblical texts.

When I read this article that is not what I got from Brian's words. Brian is not condiscending. He is actually concerned. Brian wants to make sure that we stand firm on the things that God stands firm on. Christ condiscended. He was higher than any created thing (because He is the creator) yet he came down to bring the created into a relationship with the Creator. This is not me condescending this is me proclaiming what God has revealed to us. I am nothing more than an ambassador for Jesus Christ. You may be zealous about this. But I see what Brian said as being some type of action. He is not complaining. He is correcting the things that were wrong by using the Gospel. Same thing that Paul did. Also it seems like you may not know Brian(I may be wrong)...Do you know that he is a man that lacks action? There is only so much one man can do and it seems like this is one way for Brian to take action. I hope this helps. Brian is a man that desires to please God and I am sure he is doing what he can to accomplish that in this situation. Your desire is well placed though, thank you. Keep seeking to please the Lord through your actions, thoughts and words. Hmm…That is an interesting response.

I have heard and read alot of complaints about the Christian response. With so many voices speaking out against is, why not take that energy and common ideal and make your own response. I would truely like to hear how those who critisize would speak lovingly to the Muslim community in a loving way that they might actually listen to. Taking a position of condisending Theological superiority will not breakdown wall that have been built. although I appreciate the position, I can’t help but wonder why you would rather sit back and critisize rather that act.
