For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” John 3:20‭-‬21 NKJV http://bible.com/114/jhn.3.20-21.NKJV

When are we going to admit that Islam is the problem?

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 NKJV http://bible.com/114/rom.6.23.NKJV

The ear that hears the rebukes of life Will abide among the wise. He who disdains instruction despises his own soul, But he who heeds rebuke gets understanding. Proverbs 15:31‭-‬32 NKJV http://bible.com/114/pro.15.31-32.NKJV

He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.

Moderate Muslims and The Great Commission

Why do evangelical Christians way so much time trying to Moderate Muslims to admit that what the radical Muslims are doing is exactly what the Koran tells them to do?

Yes they are Fundamentalists, but those people are not open to discussion or reason.  They are so firm in their beliefs, it is correct or die!

With the Moderate Muslim, you can have a dialogue any chance to witness to them.  Something you will never have with a Radical/Fundamentalist Muslim.

We're not told in Scripture that everyone who hears our message will repent and believe.  Only that we are to preach the Gospel in and out of season.  At one time Jesus had thousands following Him, but after His death, only 120 were in the upper room.  We should not waste so great an opportunity to witness to these people, while spending our time trying to convince them they are wrong.

It is not our job as Christians to judge these people, but to witness and warn them of their error.  They are God's children just like we are.  God is not a respecter of persons, but loves all equally.  Jesus died for all sinners and that includes Muslims.

Gnosticism

How is Gnosticism different from Charismatic teachings like "baptized in the spirit" or "special anointing"?  Both claim to have a special knowledge or enlightenment ie Nirvana/Hindu/Buddhist meditation.  All false religions claim/tried to open your mind/drop your defense is so the enemy can attack/fill mind with wrong teaching.  Again trying to control your mind.

Is this in a subtle way the same thing Satan is always used " your eyes will be opened and you will be like God!" Why does he keep using this?  Because it works and works well!  Anytime you claim to have knowledge others don't, that puts you in a position of power.

There will always be a group of people willing to follow someone who claims this knowledge and never question them.  We need to remember to always be good Bereans and test everything by the Bible.  We will remain susceptible to things like this as long as we fail to read the Bible once a year.

How can we be filled with the knowledge of God or His Holy Spirit if we are not filled with His Word?  These are inseparable!
