The Koran denies the major truths of the Bible, supplanting it with the worship of a man, specifically the corrupt and vindictive Mohammed. This is not something Abraham did or taught his children to do. Anyone who reads the Koran can see for themselves how murder, lies, pillage, woman-beating and more are justified in the name of serving Mohammed and his god, which is made in Mohammed’s image. What do you do with people like that? The God of Abraham told His people to completely wipe them out of the land that He gave them. He did not tell them to wipe out all such people in the world, but to cleanse the land that He gave them of the idolaters and evildoers inhabiting it. The Israelites failed to obey God in this matter and suffered greatly thereafter because of it. Here we are today, in fact, at this impasse, because they did not do it. But here we are also, now having the Messiah, Jesus Christ, Who was sent to save us from our sins and our inability to get things right. Everyone today is guilty of forbidden idolatry and rebellion against God, which is why there is no peace. All need to repent, to turn to the Prince of Peace, the Lord Jesus Christ. Can this happen? Not by man’s power. By God’s power, however, yes, it can, and so it will. When all misplaced confidence has been exhausted, He will turn and save. Paul Cohen 413 N.
