We officially have muslims and Christian's edit (and now Jewish), praying together in one voice to the creator. This is magical. I know this has happened before but with this unity and the truth we hold we are unlocking the world. Plz everyone join in our prayer group we are building something here. Any Christian's that have a problem with this combo. Or muslims or jewish let's talk right here. For u either get with us or we take the heart of our religions and form the love we seek. So anyone feel they need to make points about this let's chat right now I'm ready

Thank u so much and plz join the Christian sub. We can find alot of common ground I'm trying to get the dialogue started
This is very well said!
My wife is a Christian from Syria who grew up in Lebanon. I can definitely confirm that Christian Arabs indeed use Allah when saying God. I hear Ya Allah! Probably more than Neshkor Allah in my house, unfortunately :)
When my wife came to the US, there was this older Christian guy in my office that would come over and tell me that Israel was promised to the Jewish people and that the Lebanese have no claim to their land because God gave it to His people.
He would then go on about how the bible says clesrly that the Musilims and Jews will never get along until the end of time. This made me so angry and my wife wasn't really Lebanese, Muslim or Jewish... but this idea that I've heard so many times throughout my childhood, that there was no hope for peace in the ME, boild my blood.
It is the DS that has caused all the pain, misery and division in the ME and its a lie that Jews and Muslims can never get along and make peace. The bible says no such thing about endless division unless you are working hard to interpret it that way.
I'm more of a preterist anyways and don't really believe the various religous establishments' view of a biblical apocalypse.
Sorry for the rant, but I also do have a question if you don't mind? Are you Sunni, Shia or an offshoot? I have no judgement, just curious because of my exposure to many kinds of people in Lebanon like the Druzes.
I think that is a great answer! And one that we need more of in this time.
Welcome, Richard, I'm glad you paint such a winsome picture. I need to be cautious in my affirmations, because it may be that we both worship the Creator, but it may also be that we have two irreconcilable ideas of what we worship; same for our relationship with Jesus (Isa). We may not be far from each other but we must be both circumspect and clear in our dialogue and prayers. I've had good interactions with Muslims who disown the radical hijackers of Islam as you describe, and I'm sure you recognize some hijack Christianity too for their own purposes.
I need not say much about Judaism because it's much closer to Christianity. In both cases the question is whether discussion of Jesus will divide us or unite us. Truth and liberty unite us and you seem to understand that base. Glad we can make a good start of it!
