I'm formerly a Communication Specialist with CRCNA Ministry Support Services and was one of the original members of the Network Support Team. In mid-April 2016 I moved on to new adventures in Indiana a couple of hours away from Grand Rapids, MI.
Greg, you are correct that this is a hard question! Thanks for your thoughtful response to it.
In your webinars I’ve heard you share about the Shahada from the Quran which states “There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet (or messenger).” Here’s my follow up question for you:
Because Muhammad is not the messenger nor the prophet of the Judeo Christian God (e.g. Yahweh, Jehovah), if one takes the position that the Christian God and Allah are the same, don’t they also imply that they recognize Muhammad as a prophet? How do you address that issue if/when it comes up in conversation with a Muslim?
You can contact Jeanne Kallemeyn in Pastor-Church Relations at [email protected] or call 877-279-9994 ext. 1152 to get the form for evaluating/reviewing the pastor.
It's been great getting to know you and reading your blogs. Thanks for sharing your experience and perspectives with us. I hope you'll continue to give your voice to future discussions here on The Network.
