Romans 10:8-15 Central Christian Belief about Jesus


Believe in your heart and confess with your lips that Jesus Christ is Lord, and you will be saved. Because Muhammad denies this truth, he cannot be considered a prophet. Turn to Jesus and the Holy Spirit will lead you into the Truth and give you the peace in your heart that passes all understanding.

 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
 14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed , yet in my flesh I will see God ; I myself will see him, with my own eyes – I, and not another.”                                      Job 19:23-27a FIRST SUNDAY AFTER SEPTEMBER 11 TH       T ime and time again scripture

Wake Up America -- A Couple of Paragraphs from A.A. Maududi on Jihad and the Defense of Islam

From the writings of A.A. Maududi, Towards Understanding Islam DEFENSE OF ISLAM      “The defense of Islam is not a fundamental belief but its importance has been repeatedly emphasized in the Qur’an and Sunnah. It is essentially a test of our sincerity as believers in Islam. If we do not defend a friend of ours against plots or assaults from his enemies, nor care for his needs, we are indeed false pretenders of friendship. In the same way, if we profess belief in Islam, we must jealously guard and uphold the prestige of Islam. Our sole guide for our conduct must be the interests of Muslims at large and the service of Islam in the face of which all our personal considerations must sink low.” JIHAD      “Jihad is a part of this overall defense of Islam. Jihad means to struggle to the utmost of one’s capacity. A man who exerts himself physically or mentally or spends his wealth in the cause of God is indeed engaged in jihad. But in the language of the Divine Law, this word is used spe
