Question After Question
Question After Question
by Silas
These days I am beginning many conversations about the gospel through social media. Those who have a Muslim faith background ask me question after question about Christianity. Currently, I have open dialogues with 14 people. Three of them have accepted Christ as their Savior just this past week
I spent the whole week with them in a time of intensive discussion just answering their questions. They ask some hard questions. Sometimes we just pray.
Alamein who is among these people said, "My spirit was burning me like a fire when you were talking to me about Christ. But after, I really thought that I should know Christ. I said let me know who Jesus is! Something touched my heart and raised a question. I asked myself why I hate someone that I don't know? Then I remembered everything you told me about Jesus. I thought it was better for me to have a special conversation with you. So that I can understand things more clearly. But now I felt with an internal peace".
I told him, “Alamein, you are going to grow in understanding more about Jesus.”
Abdul and Aima have accepted Christ as well. Abdul said. “I have discovered Islam as a falsehood, but I was only following it as a tradition. I had never found someone to tell me the truth.”
Please pray for these people and others who are wrestling with their faith.

I asked Silas if he would share some of the questions he was receiving. I've listed them below. How would you answer someone who asked you one of these?
- Why are there four gospels, not one?
- Was Jesus God? And if he was God, why did he cry on the cross, "My God, my God why have you forsaken me?"
- If Jesus was God, to whom was he worshiping?
- Why did Jesus tell the Jews the Lord your God is one?
- Why did God the Father not listen to Jesus when he asked him to remove the cup from him? Jesus said that he is going to send a helper. When Muhammad came as a helper why do you not accept him?
- Why do some Christians pray through Mary the mother of Jesus Christ?
- Who reported the discussion of Judas Iscariot when he agreed with Jewish leaders to hand over Jesus?
- Why do some Christians dance in the church?
- If I am a Christian, to whom am I supposed to pray to Jesus or to God or to the Holy Spirit?
- Who told you the person who died on the cross was Jesus?

Thank you so much for sharing this! I love hearing these stories of salvation. We will be praying for Silas, these new believers and for all others who have not yet heard the gospel!
