What is Your Work?

James Martenet address topics and makes statements about the work of God and your part in it. Should you support the work of God? What is your work in order to do so? Do you have false humility or super vanity? Only YOU can fulfill the role that God has for YOU alone. You need to get pride out of the way to better do the work of God. You need to obey God, show love, and be hopeful. We should all be optimistic and hopeful. We need to focus on the correct goal of the kingdom of God. Be merciful.

Jesus and God's Plan for Muslims

Do the Quran and Bible agree on numerous points of doctrine and prophecy? Both Islam and Christianity teach that Jesus' mother Mary was a virgin and that Jesus is our intercessor. While the Bible teaches that Jesus was the Son of God, died, and was resurrected, most Muslims do not believe that--but is this because there are errors in the Bible or mistranslations in the Quran? Does a literal translation of part of Sura 5:117 (مَّا دُمْتُ فِيهِمْ ۖ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَنِى كُنتَ أَنتَ ٱلرَّقِيبَ عَلَيْهِمْ) show that Jesus said He did die?

Dajjal, Antichrist, Gold, & Mark of the Beast?

Islam tells of a deceiver arising called the Dajjal, whom Muslims tend to equate with the Beast that rises from the sea in Revelation 13:1-10. Whereas they tend to use the term Dabbatul-Ard for the Beast that comes out of the earth in Revelation 13:11. While both are 'antichrists,' the False Prophet of Revelation is the final Antichrist, consistent with 1 John 4:1-3. Do biblical and Islamic prophecies point to the time of the greatest tribulation in history coinciding with the reign of these beasts? Do Islam and the Bible tell of any who will be spared, "from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth"? (Revelation 3:10). Will gold be valuable after the start of the great tribulation? Might the Beast and Antichrist use wealth to gain support?

Seeing Christianity Through Islamic Eyes

Many who do not live in Islamic countries know little about Islam and even less about how Muslims view the West and what they see of those who profess Christianity. Back in 1980, the old Worldwide Church of God published an article by Keith Stump titled 'Seeing the World Through Islamic Eyes.'
