This Orthodox bishop was not buying into any emotional rigmarole.
He went straight on to preach the gospel to a friendly Muslim, who in turn shut down the recording to hinder his audience from hearing the true gospel.
When I was Muslim, this realization shook me.
The Quran talks about Yahya (John the Baptist). It calls him noble, righteous, and pure, so at first it feels familiar and trustworthy.
But then it removes the entire point of his life.
It says “he prepared the way” then never follows up about that. I was left asking "prepared the way for who?”
Because John’s entire mission was to baptize Jesus and publicly declare Him as the Lamb of God. That moment at the Jordan River wasn’t just symbolic. Heaven opened, the Spirit descended, and God spoke: “This is my Son.”
That is the hinge of the entire Gospel. But the Quran skips it.
Of course, you have to ask why.
Because the moment you include that scene, you have to face what it means that Jesus is more than a prophet.
So Yahya is kept in the story, but his purpose is removed. The name stays to claim continuity, but the message is cut to avoid the person.
You can’t keep the prophet and erase what he was sent to announce.
Yahya’s voice was never meant to be muted. It was anointed to point to Jesus.
And once you hear, “This is my Son,” you don’t unhear it.
You either follow Him or reject Him, but you can’t pretend the message was something else.
@kaizen000000000 You philosopher of nothing, You so called scientist, You "smart ass"
n!gga, don't mix Thé Life Itself, with some idolatrous "gods", and mess with weak, undeveloped minds, who unconsciously take You as a god (with a "g") of clear, creative thought and mind...
... which You're NOT
I am often called a man on here, because people cannot believe that a woman would hate, or rather just tell the truth about, the state of women today?
But now, I have been accused of not actually being German, because which German woman would hate on other German women?
I am a woman, and yes, I am a German woman. Born and raised here.
But yes also, I can confirm. That German women today are some of the worst women around.
Masculine, Feminist, Woke.
@KarolineGosling Dear, You are a refreshment in this platform, fulfilled with prejudices about the women in the modern western civilization.
If nothing, You have full support for Your stances from a humble, unimportant guy from Macedonia.
Ich wünsche Ihnen ein langes Leben und gute Gesundheit.
@MasterMaliq To diminish Our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST, from Son of God, i.e. The God Himself, to regular prophet, lesser than Mohammad, is opposite of honour.
I am not usually mean, but what I like most of Your "prophet", are the last three letters of his name:
MohamMAD.
@alikibria00@Ihunanya_chi@MasterMaliq It is not about details, it's about numbers.
Mohammed is mentioned 4 times, Ishmael lesser...
... but Jesus, Mary, John, even disciples of Jesus are mentioned many more times than founders of your fake deen and iman.
Many are called, few are chosen.
☦️Christ is risen!
@MasterMaliq Like it is some great piece of art of architecture, like it is some spiritual center of humankind...
... Just a simple pagan cube, adopted by mohammedans, and not to mention licking the "black" stone, actually decorated female intimate part...
Don't interfere Abraham, please!
