Islam & Christianity: Do you Know the Differences?

Islam is increasingly becoming the major topic of discussion in the United States. The Mosque at Ground Zero, The Christmas Day Bomber, The Gunman at Ft. Bliss here in Texas, and the recent Burn the Qur'an Day all filled the airwaves and blogosphere. Alarmingly, many professing Christians do not know the major differences between Islam & Christianity. Mary Jo Sharp recently had two formal debates with Muslims.

The first was with Ehteshaam Gulam in Michigan (June 2009) on the topic: "Did Jesus Die On The Cross." This debate took place in a local church. The second was with Tabasum Hussain, Ph.D. in Ontario, Canada (February 2010) on the topic: "Women: The Qur'an & The Bible." This debate took place in a local mosque.

The debates are lengthy, but are necessary in order to fully expand upon the stark differences between the two religions. The Sharp-Gulam debate can be watched in its entirety on a single YouTube video. The Sharp-Hussain debate is divided among four separate YouTube videos.

Feel free to take notes and use the information from these debates as you equip yourself and others on these topics of discussion.

Should We Use Evidence in Witnessing?

In a recent blog post, Dr. Clay Jones of Biola University gives a biblical perspective on using evidence as testimony to the truth of Jesus Christ.

Here's a sneak peek:

"In 1993 I started working for Simon Greenleaf University (now Trinity Law School) which offered an M.A. in Christian apologetics (Craig Hazen was the director). Much of my job was to promote the school and although I had studied Christian apologetics since my sophomore year in high school, I decided I needed to see whether an apologetic witness had strong Biblical precedence. It does. As I poured through the Scripture I found that Jesus and the apostles preached the resurrection of Christ as the sign of the truth of Christianity."
