A friend of mine sent this article to me. It is in regards to reaching Muslims. I found it very interesting. "Father Zakaria Boutros was in Frontiers office in May 2009 and he graciously allowed me to interview him. You can read my interview in the recent (December 2011) issue of St. Francis magazine:"http://www.stfrancismagazine.info/ja/images/stories/Zakaria-Butros_85-92.pdfPilgrim
Jonathan:Did you get my message earlier in the thread? :-)Peace!
everywhere in the world to my knowledge the bible is the same. we do not ever change the words of the bible..not the words that were in the article. the king james bible stays the same. the rest is up to the Holy Spirit for understanding. The Holy Spirit is the teacher of all things. thank you...jacquelinev
I think that ginny brings up a great point. As an American, much of the Bible was extremely foreign to me when I was lost. Ha ha...as a saved guy, you know what? Much of the Bible is foreign to me now that I am saved. God reveals to me what He will as I continue to study.I say don't change the meaning, just translate as accurate to the original as possible, and allow the Holy Spirit to enlighten who He will. Those lost Muslims need prayer; I think it's easy for us to get political instead of spiritual. From Eph 1:...making mention of you in my prayers;[17] That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:[18] The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
