Muslims, please read this first

     Assalamu alaikum
     Christians and Muslims disagree on the nature of God, salvation, prophets, the true Scriptures, etc.  For the great majority of us on both sides, we will not change our views.  You believe in Allah and Muhammad as his prophet.  I am a Christian, saved by the grace of my Lord and Savior, Jesus.  In obedience to Christ, and according to the Bible, I seek to expose error and teach the truth...and, respectfully, I do not think Islam is the truth.  I say this outright so that no Muslim will accuse me of being deceptive or having a hidden agenda.  My goal is to convert Muslims to Christ so they may find salvation in Him and to inform seekers about Islam as compared to the Bible and in so doing, turn them to Christ.
     However, please realize that I have no hatred for Islam, Muhammad, Muslims, or the Koran.  A Muslim never wronged me and I had no trauma as a child involving anything Muslim.  I mean no insult to you at all when I say that according to the Bible, I respectfully believe Islam is false.  I know you disagree and perhaps you will take it as an insult or some form of persecution.  I hope you do not.  But, I am simply being faithful to my Lord Jesus in defending His truth as revealed in the Bible.
     I realize that there are many good Muslims in the world who are peaceful, honest, compassionate, and who desire to serve God in truth.  I do not fault any Muslim for this.  Likewise, I hope you will not find fault with my honest intention to do the same according to the convictions of my heart since I seek to serve God.
     Nevertheless, if I mistakenly misrepresent Islam on this site, I take full responsibility for it.  It is not my desire to produce a false image of Islam and then attempt to destroy the false image.  I only ask that you let me know in what area I have erred (with documentation) and I shall do my best to correct it, within reason.  I say “within reason” because a difference of opinion on a matter does not warrant a correction.  But, if I have some error in facts, definition, dates, or doctrines of Islam, I would value being corrected.
     I do not seek to attack and call Muslims names or use emotional and poorly reasoned arguments as "proofs" for my position -- as too many Christians have already attempted in the past.  Rather, I seek to know Islam truthfully, convey a factual and honest representation of it to readers, and, of course, to tackle what I consider are its errors.
     Therefore, these pages will be somewhat fluid in that they will be refined over time. 
     
     My only desire is that you find the forgiveness of Jesus and the love of God that abounds in my heart and the hearts of His redeemed people.

     By the grace of Christ Jesus, my Savior.
