10 reasons Christianity beats Islam (3): Reasons 6-10!

Christianity vs Islam, Part 3

To know more about the amazing 'Revolution Church' in Salina, Kansas, where these videos were recorded last week, and hear their pastor Jeff Peipho, go to their YouTube site at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCULE...

In this 3rd talk we looked at the last 5 areas: The Church, the State, a Simple-Lifestyle, the Washing of feet, and Salvation.

When we looked at the Church we saw that Christ redefined the church in Matthew 18:19 as anywhere there are 2 or 3 gathered "in His name". That means it's not a church building, but a people. And it can be found anywhere there are 2-3 people who love Jesus Christ. How do you destroy that kind of church, not built with mortar, but built upon a relationship.

When we consider the State, we look to Matthew 22:21 where Christ introduced a Separation between the State and Church. This means that we have nothing to do with the State as our remit is completely different. The state has to confront militarily, and police, while the church is to do nothing of the kind, and is responsible to bring people to Christ, and "equip the saint" to follow Christ in everything they do.

As far as the way we should live, Christ says in 1 John 2:15-17 that we are to live a 'simple lifestyle', so not to build up treasures in this life, but seek to build up treasures in the next.

In John 13:4-5 Christ introduced the practice of washing each other's feet as a sign of humility, and exemplified it Himself by washing His disciples feet. This suggests that we are to be servants to everyone, and the dictum that "the first shall be the last, and the last shall be the first" is a corollary to that practice.

And finally, in John 3:16 we find Christ saying that Salvation comes not by doing good works, but simply by believing that God sent His Son to die on the cross and rise again, and all we have to do is exactly that...believe in Christ's death on the cross and subsequent resurrection from the dead, and we will be saved.

These last 5 areas stand in direct contrast to that which Muslims believe and practice. You then are called on to decide which you want to follow...the Gospel of Jesus Christ, or the beliefs and practices of Muhammad, and of Islam.

The choice is yours...
