My Open Heart...

As the chat room and the forum has grown. And as I have gone over the post's that I and others have made, I realize that I have never really revealed to anyone, (muslims included), what I feel in my heart.

I am a Christian, which means that instead of a heart of stone, God has replaced it with a heart of flesh. All of the former things that I was are dead. I "was" a man of hate, deceit, lust, envy, slander, and many other adjectives that I could use to describe myself. I am a new creation in Christ.

In the chat room, many times I have been called a "hater". Or told that I hate muslims. I have never stated this, and if I have ever intoned this, I pray God forgive me my sin. As my belief teaches, all mankind are the creation of God. This includes muslims. Should I hate that which God has created? May it never be...for by doing so, I would be hating God Himself as well. I do hate evil, even God hates the evil that men do, even the evil that I do or have done. So yes, in a sense, I DO hate! But not muslims. I weep for them, I pray each day as I rise that God will grant me another day to share God's love with them, that their hearts will be open and receptive to hear the true gospel of Jesus Christ.

It has been said many times that the first victims of Islam are muslims. We have seen the evidence of this many times. Many muslims follow Islam out of fear for themselves and/or their families. The Qur'an teaches that if a muslim leaves the faith, he must be killed. Many muslims deny that this happens, and yet there are many evidences of this very thing happening. How Many are victims of Sharia law? I wept as I heard of the young girls that died in a fire in S.A. because they were not properly attired and the Morality police would not let them leave the building. How many women have been beaten for "sins" that in any other part of the world would not have even raised an eyebrow? Is there not one shread of forgiveness in the Muslim heart?

If you are a muslim, and this message has touched you heart, respond by pm'ing me. No one will see it except me. I know that you are in danger by doing this and I will never do or say anything about you that will bring you harm. But I will pray for you, of this you can be assured. You may say that this will do you no good, but I say to you, that it is the greatest and best thing that I can do for you.


His servant,
Alien
