In God's Name: Dialogue for Christians with Muslims
Dialogue Between Christians
& Muslims
As a
personal mission of mine and in the spirit of "breeding" or
generating Trust, I've been reading a book called, "Guidelines for
Dialogue Between Christians and Muslims" by
Maurice Borrmans, translated from the French by R. Marston Speight.
"Thus
by their joint action Christians and Muslims have the opportunity to render a
fresh witness to the reality of God Himself (sharing the first five books as
one in the same), showing to all that in the midst of the human struggle for
fulfillment there is possible an orientation toward the divine mystery.
We
believers "vie with another in good works" by serving young people,
children, the handicapped, and the sick and the dying,
by denouncing war and all murderous experimentation, because they consider life
to be a gift of God and because they believe in the living God who loves life
and who desires to see life come to full fruition.
When
they struggle against all forms of discrimination (sexual, racial, cultural,
religious or national) and against the selfish appropriation of natural
resources by individuals or collectivities so as to guarantee justice and
equality of opportunity for everyone, they do so because they regard the riches
of the earth as gifts from God and because they believe in a God who is free
"to do what He wills" in love for all of mankind and in view of
eliciting their free response to Him." Page 98, Areas
of Cooperation
My comment: while the run-on sentences are rampant, the spirit of this intent
is clearly communicated. It doesn't matter if you're Christian, Muslim, Jewish or Buddhist or Hindu -- at least Jews, Muslims and
Christians believe in a monotheistic God, and have the exact same first, five
books of the Bible and Koran
In December on
CBS, they broadcasted on TV an hour-long documentary, "In God's Name."
Jules and Gedean Nuedet are
the producers where they interviewed twelve of the religious leaders since 911 over
the last four years. Click on the link IN GOD's
NAME to see who they interviewed. The conclusion at the end:"We have far more in common
among the world's religions than have in differences."
I'm also giving
my subscribers a free peak at a new article that I'm about to publish: "Jesus
vs. Law of Attraction {The Secret}: Reconciling
Common Beliefs?" by clicking here.
Tell me what
you think about the article's points, similar to 12/07 CBS TV show, In God's Name.
Finally, if
you're looking for resources about learning about the building your faith, click Here to be
taken to CD of the Month Club -- it's a Lighthouse that I recommend. Back to my original point, I’d love to hear
your thoughts about “why we all can’t seem to get along” or dialogue between
Christians, Jews and Muslims. Tell the
