Riyadh is my hometown, glad that you know what I am talkin’ about; but what is said and taught is uglier than what you experienced during your time in Saudi Arabia; because you were some how distant from the real Saudi society; schools, mosques, lectures, publications, and media…

I have no doubt. Oh, I was very distant - I totally agree with you. We heard, and were told, and I have read…but of course that is nothing like experiencing firsthand.
 
Thank you bro Joseph for sharing your testimony. It is really wonderful how the Lord works in you. Welcome home.

God bless you.
 
I pray that you be an example and a light among unbelievers in Saudi Arabia, and that the Holy Spirit move them to the true faith.
 
My father used to work at KFSHRC, and we lived in a compound in Olaya, We had a lot of American friends and neighbors who used to visit us and invite us over…I was told at school that I should not allow them to enter the house, because they are defiled, and I should not go to them or even greet them, or eat from their food because their food is also defiled…imagine, a 9 or 10 year old kid was taught to be a bigot, and further, to hate others. Our meekness and innocence were exposed to the worst form of distortion…this explains the rise of Alqaeda, ISIS and other terrorist groups…there’s so much hate in this part of the world…One can only be grateful to the Lord that He picked me among His people…

AAHHH! Olayya!! I know it well.

We lived in Al Rabwah near “Suicide Roundabout” and the Panda Safeway Market! It was adjacent to a prison for juveniles.

Holy smokes. What a small world.
 
It is indeed a small world 😅…I used to learn to drive near Al Nahda park…
do you mean the Tamimi Safeway on Al Ahsa street, near Baskin Robins, Dr. Cafe, and Jarir bookstore? 😂 Wow, you are playing back the tape of my memories…I left Saudi Arabia in 2016 due to my faith, as people started to figure out about me, and it is punishable by death in Saudi as you may know, I live in Northern Europe now…
Do you have a facebook account? Would love to add you as a friend ❤️

Waraqa was a nestorian or ebonite. Not a christian.

Waraqa bin Neufal Non-Catholic Religions
Undoubtedly, there were many who could have influenced Mohammad. Not to mention the likely numerous Christian merchants who he must have met along his business trips. Not to mention the state of Christian Unity at that time with which he must have been familiar (think whether the history of the world would have been different if Christians had been united instead of fight over arcane theological differences). Still, the names that you mentioned were all conjective as to whether or how much w…

If you say waraqa was a christian, many protestants blame us on this (without knowing that the 2 sects are heresy) and muslims use that as scapegoat.

Also, can i have your facebook link, so i can add you 😃

Yes, I met a guy in Stockholm, and he belongs to the Pentecostal ecclesial community, but he is well educated, and he indicated that Christians were only mentioned once in the Quran, and it was when Mohammed said: “those who believe that God is three persons are infidels”; the rest of quranic verses were mentioning Nazarenes; Nestorians…so Christians in the eyes of Islam are defiled and deserve death…because we believe in the Holy Trinity…
 
I know you are serious, but i cant help but laughing reading this “Christians in the eyes of Islam are defiled and deserve death…because we believe in the Holy Trinity…” 😂😂
 
Christian is a term used nowadays referring not only to Catholicism but also heretical sects like protestants.
 
Not only that, other ecclesial communities refer to themselves, solely, as Christians, excluding Catholics…
 
“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 5:10

We are always persecuted and hated, the more they persecute us, the more we give love and life…showing the world what the image of God really is ❤️
 
Because the Holiness that is within Catholicism is larger than their limits and boundaries…

I will share a prayer for complete Holiness, it is amazing, by Saint Benedict of Nursia, and just do not pay attention to what they think of you, just pray for them and dwell in the pleasure of Holiness of our Church
