need some help

[SnowGirl]

I have a close friend who is thinking of leaving Islam. I don’t know what to say to her. I told her to trust in her heart, and God will guide her to what is right. Can someone lend a hand for me to help her with her questions. She has a husband but he don’t care about Islam as a organised religion so it has left her doubting Islam and wanting to come home to Christ. I don’t know what to tell her.

What are some of her questions?

We can help.

Meanwhile, here are my only suggestions: First of all, I would start reading the gospels and new testament letters, if you don’t already. “Studying” by looking at passages is OK, but I mean just reading. It’s amazing how much that can transform you. This can get you going to the point where you’ll start really knowing what it is you want to share with her.

If you’re a slow reader like me, I suggest you start with the “Sermon on the Mount” starting in Matthew 5.

Then I’d go to almost any NT book ending in “ans.” and even the others. Recognize the freedom and confidence you can have by walking in the spirit, in Romans 8.

Just a few of my fav’s.

Tell her to come home to Christ, Who is waiting for her. Also, tell her to watch her back. Muslims are known to kill those who leave Islam.

Whoah! Careful there! That is a minority of Muslims that are like that, and these are particularly a minority in the West. Though I know radicalism is increasing, it would be crazy to assume that Muslims are murderers. Most of them are far from it.

God bless you for your loving care for your friend . You can pray for her. I noticed that on your own religion description, you wrote down “unsure,” so you may want to pray that God will lead you to what is right also. After all, life is short and what comes after is long. It makes sense to be as sure as we can be in this life that we are on the right path, before we die.

She, and you, would do well to read the Bible, starting with some of the New Testament books, particularly the Gospels. As either of you start to have particular questions, feel free to ask them. You can send me a Private Message any time, and I’d be glad to help in any way I can. I’ll also be around to help on this thread .

May God bless you both, and her husband, and lead all of you close to Himself.

I would suggest be loving and she will be more interested. Give her some Catholic books and stuff just to flick through. DO NOT BE LIKE MOST CHRISTIANS AND FORCE IT DOWN HER THROAT WITHIN 5 MINS OF HER ASKING ABOUT IT. THAT SCARES PEOPLE OFF!!! Trust me I know, I was an atheist once.
