It’s not what goes into a man that defiles him, it is what comes out of a man that defiles him.
A person may be from a Muslim culture, be raised by his parents and nation to learn Islam, prays to God, but in his thinking if he places his relationship to God in His hands by His method of providing salvation, then that person might actually be a believer through faith in Christ. Even if he doesn’t know the letters of His name, the believer knows the meaning f the name in his heart when he believes.
Taking the Lord’s name in vain is more about taking the meaning of Him in vain, rather than the transliteration of his title.
It is possible for a person to pray to God the Father and not be heard, because the person seeking Him does so through arrogance and not by the protocols God has established for us to have fellowship with Him.
I concur though, with your point. The false prophet came along 600 years after our Lord was physically resurrected and ascended to heaven. The Koran is false doctrine. Accepting the Koran as a comparable access to God with cognizance of Christ is to deny Christ.
If his bothers some worldly folk, consider the prayers of Jesus Christ to God the Father in the Garden of Gethsemene, wherein He asked that if it was possible by any other means for him not to have to go through the ordeal he was about to experience. If one accepts Islam, then one must insist that the God of Jesus is not the same God as the god of Islam.
There are no other Gods fake or otherwise, only false religions, fake prophets and fallen Angels. God is everywhere...why do you (seriously) why do you think he is stuck inside a rock? I sure don’t. Do you?
BS and the President knows it, this is being said to not have to fight 4 wars at the same time.
Your question is a set up that there is no yes or no answer to and shows that you do not believe in the full power of God.
Is God unable to be inside a rock? Yes or No?
Is there a God confined to a rock? Yes or No?
It's time for me to get to some chores. God Bless You.
There is NO justification whatsoever for a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ - any reason/circumstance justifiable at all for him/her to say this.
To come in the name of Jesus, call yourself a Christian and then speak this false gospel - that all names and gods will lead one to the Father is a lie as big as lies and deceptions get on the scale of eternal importance and will send unbelievers around the world straight to hell - while all along they have been lead to believe by someone coming in the name of Christ that the various roads they have chosen will also get them to the Father.
The world and nations need to hear loud and clear that Christians condemn this false gospel of universal salvation, consider it blasphemy. They need to know that the Holy Scriptures says clearly, without a doubt that they must call on the name of Jesus Christ to be saved. No other name given that they may call upon but His.
this explains a lot about him! That is the most liberal tendency possible, short of atheism.
