Your confronting thought for today…
August 31st, 2007
…comes from Paul at “One for the road“:
It is clear from some comments left on the internet that some Christians feels that you can clearly not reconcile the claim that Jesus is the only way to God with the fundamental tenant of Islam that there is no God but Allah – therefore it is impossible to be both. …
If you can be Jewish and a Christian can you not also be Muslim and a Christian? Indeed the attraction of say the 5 pillars of Islam, the disciplined life of prayer etc is something that can be intrinsically attractive as a way of practicing faith – and can be related to the rules of faith by Christian religious communities/orders (e.g. rule of St Benedict).
A question closer to home for me to ask myself would be can I both be a follower of Jesus and a worshipper of consumerist individualism? (Full post here - “Can I be a Christian and a Muslim”)
Well, I feel busted.
