There will never be peace between Muslims and CHRISTians! Why? Isaac and Ishmael.
Bible>> God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shall call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him”.
Koran = 19:54 “Also mention in the Book the story of Ishmael: He was strictly true to what he promised, and he was a messenger and a prophet”.
Bible = Genesis 16:12 “And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him”.
The Bible called Ishmael a wild man; the Koran called him messenger and a prophet.
God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shall call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him” (Genesis 17:18,19)
Jews and Christians believe according to the scriptures that the promise was given to Isaac who became the father of the Israelites, father of Moses who received the Torah, father of king David who ruled in righteousness upon God’s people and who also received the promise that from his descendents would come the king who would rule the world for ever and ever (Psalm 89:29)
Christians and Muslims do not simply have two different fathers (Isaac and Ishmael) and two different books (Bible-Koran), but they have two completely different spirits: one brings freedom, the other brings bondage; one leads to life, the other leads to death. One has the real GOD(Jesus Christ)Matt 3:23; and the other has a manmade false god called Allah, who is named after a Pagan Sun god!
Imam's Rauf is mistaken; there will never be peace in Israel or between CHRISTians and Muslims,until Christ comes!
Wishful thinking!
