Hello family, I have a question. How can I convert a Muslim to Christianity? I have a friend and coworker who demonstrates uncommon kindness, however she is a dedicated Muslim. What can I do to prove to her that Jesus is King of Kings? I may meet her for coffee to day, please arm me with information!

Robert xxxxxx xxx xxxx House xxxxx Street Plymouth xxxx xxxx thebagge2@yahoo.co.uk Dear Robert, How are you? I hope that you are keeping well. I was wondering if I could please ask a small favour of you. I’m after a copy of the July 2008 Watchtower (an article on faith – or is it July 2007?) as well as page 14 from the 15th Sept 2002 Watchtower. I hope that you don’t mind me asking you this; I enclose some stamps to cover the cost. Feel free to pass my details onto whoever you see fit, if for instance you know of someone in my area who might have these Watchtowers. I’m also very interested in the Watchtowers position on Jehovah. I believe that they teach that Jehovah isn’t omnipresent: 5th Feb 1981 page 6. So I was wondering if somebody could please help me with a study re his other attributes – is Jehovah (Father) almighty (i.e. omnipotent), creator, omniscient etc. If Jehovah isn’t omnipresent but he is almighty then how can this be? For if the Holy Spirit is omnipresent but ‘it’ isn’t almighty, then wouldn’t that make the Holy Spirit in one sense be more almighty (with regard to the attribute of Omnipresence) than the Father (Jehovah)? So how can the Father be almighty (which literally means all power) and yet Jehovah lacks the power to be omnipresent; just as the Holy Spirit is omnipresent? Is anyone able to help me with this? Thank you Robert for your kind help, I’m extremely grateful to you. Yours Faithfully XXXXX XXXXXXX

John 8 Jesus said "you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free" John 14 "I am the way the Truth and the life" In your POV - does Truth matter? We know that a big gap in Truth - can be found between Christianity and Paganism, or Christianity and Hinduism etc. But we also know that not all Christian denominations agree on all points of doctrine. In theory none of them agree on "all points" of doctrine or the various ones that do - are redundant/unnecessary. So then it is common that we hear that "Doctrine does not really matter that much as long as everyone gets along". And of course - I am all for everyone getting along!! But still - not so comfortable with "doctrine does not really matter"

I play around a lot with bible gateway's search tool to find the differences between copies of the bibles. Some things I've found that been bugging me about NIV is the switching or subtraction of words. I'll give some examples. In NIV there are no occurrences of the word "saint", it has all been changed to "holy ones" or "holy people" etc. I was under the understanding that only God was holy. Am I wrong? 1 Samuel 2:2 New International Version (NIV) 2 “There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God. Okay, so from Samuel 2:2 of NIV we see the statement that only the Lord is holy. We get the same result from KJV too. 1 Samuel 2:2 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV) 2 There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. Then Psalm 89:7 of NIV goes on to contradict this statement. Psalm 89:7 New International Version (NIV) 7 In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround him. So only God is holy yet He is before the holy ones? In the same Psalm, KJV sticks to the use of the word "saint". Psalm 89:7 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV) 7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. The NIV is implying an equality between God and the followers. This is insanely deceptive. I honestly feel that what I see qualifies NIV as false doctrine. Can I get some input from you doctrine experts out there?
