Fantastic, I really enjoyed this!
Good to see such warmth between the three. And of course there would be agreement between most of us in regard to what they read. But what about the things they didn’t read, that really are contentious?
Too bad the Christian pastor didn’t read the Gospel in Greek like the Rabbi and Sheikh did their respective language for their texts.
Good point, Joel. What proportion of Christian pastors can with agility? & on the 17th hand, does it show a different attitude (many/most?) Christians have towards our text – Christians are more comfortable with translation than Islam and Judaism?
Thank you for sharing this. It’s definitely a fun and nice interaction. Just wish the name of JESUS is exalted for who HE is: the Son of GOD! Who died on the cross for our sins and rise from the grave to give us eternal life -by saving faith we are SAVED, cannot enter into heaven based in ‘good’ deeds or our ‘righteousness’ since they’re like filthy rags before GOD according to the apostle Paul-.
“For GOD so loved the world that HE gave His only begotten SON, that whoever BELIEVES in HIM should NOT PERISH but have EVERLASTING LIFE” -John 3:16
THANK YOU LORD JESUS!*
