The Soteriology of Ignorance: Why to Preach?

[ProDeo]

Thanks for your candid post.
It may surprise you that Muslims worship the same God that you and I worship.
The Only Creator and Sustainer of the Universe. The one you and I pray every day. The one in which we live, move and have our existence.
The Only and True God, that Jesus said to be The Father. The One Jesus called "My God" five times in the Bible. The one he prostrated towards, with his face on the ground, more or less like Muslims do.

So, a good Muslim has no God other than God. That's the first and most important tenet of their faith.

But going back to the topic, if that Muslim lady were having as god other god, say, popularity, money, pleasures, fashion, etc. she wouldn't be bearing the fruits of the spirit.
So, by showing the fruits of the Spirit, this Muslim lady proves that she has no god other than God.

Remember: According to Jesus, whose words you treasure, you should judge the tree by its fruits, not by its creed. Satan can confess a perfect creed, and that doesn't save him.

You are mistaken.

The Quran is a selective copy and paste job of the OT with fundamental changes, it's how you create a new religion, create a holy book and voila. They even borrowed Jesus from Christianity but made Him null and void, no single word of Him is in the Quran.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

There is no other way.

The Quran is a selective copy and paste job of the OT with fundamental changes, it's how you create a new religion, create a holy book and voila. They even borrowed Jesus from Christianity but made Him null and void, no single word of Him is in the Quran.

I invite you to think with me:
The apostolic epistles were written few decades after Christ. The apostles were in love with Christ and should have kept in their memories each of his sermons and miracles. As for Paul, Although he didn’t meet Christ while on earth, he was also in love with Christ and should have learnt as much as possible what Jesus said and did.

Isn’t then reasonable to expect a lot of quotes of their Master? A lot of examples of how Jesus healed the sick, fed the crowds, brought consolation to the poor? At least, the words Jesus said to his disciples apostles in those unforgettable conversations?

Well, it may be interesting for you and our readers to learn that the Pauline epistles comprise 2337 verses. Of this 2337 verses, 99.9% don’t quote a single word from Jesus.
Furthermore, the combined size of the apostolic letters comprise 2660 verses. Of these, more than 99.8% don’t quote a single word from Jesus.

If the apostles, direct recipients of Jesus words, few decades after His departure, didn’t bother to quote Him, Why would we expect from the Holy Qur’an, written six centuries after Christ, to quote his words? Indeed, the Quran even adds to our knowledge of Jesus by mentioning two miracles absent in the gospels.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
There is no other way.

I agree.
Following Jesus is following The Way to the Father. There is no other way to the Father but following Jesus steps, Jesus teachings, Jesus commandment.
This is what a good Muslim lady does. The proof is that she bears the good fruits of a life in Christ. Fruits that neither Beelzebul nor mere personal efforts will never be able to produce.
