I have to salute this statement as it resonates very strongly with me.
One thing though, I have found the Quran useful when talking to Muslims who
have taken an interest in Jesus
so I would be happy to have it as an additional text although.
Regards
Kevin

Subject: [sword-devel] What is going on here???
Shalom to everyone :o)
I have been reading the things people wrote about "Doctrinal Statements",
What people feel about it, and some comment from non-Christian.
I have a question… What is the purpose in doctrinal statements???
Don't we know what believing in Christ is all about?
I understand that we see something's differently, but why???
We can't change one another, that is the work of the Holy Spirit, if we
let him
do so and if we do our share. All we can do is to be faithful to our Lord
and
letting the Holy Spirit touch others through us, and not being self
centered people.
Why is a person, and a believer a specially, feels the need to explain
himself
or his way of thinking to others such eagerly? Is he trying to convince
himself
by convincing others??? I believe that a believer that is TRULY guided by
the
Spirit owes no explanation to anyone!
The Sword is supposed to be a learning tool, so I guess that anyone that
has
It would use it in a way that he/she feels right about it.
Being a Jew that believes in Jesus/Yeshua I don't think that the Sword
should
Have the Quran module. The Sword is a tool for those who believe in Jesus
and follow him. It could be a tool for non-Christian so they may come to
know Christ.
So, we can add modules of Prophecies and matters alike.
Those of you that don't believe in Jesus, you may use the Sword for the
OT, but
You should find another software for anything beyond.
As for our self, Christians, don't you see how the devil tries to ruin
what we do?
The Sword can (and it is) be a blessing to many, so why let the devil take
it to other places?
As for debating, it just doesn't fit to how we supposed to be.
I call you all, please leave those issues alone, and let us focus in the
good things that edify us
and the things that will make us closer on to another instead of letting
Satan put a Sword between us!
with Christ's love,
Avihai.H
