I am seeing something about a Church in Florida that wanted to hold a public Q'uoran burning on September 11th, for whatever reason I do not know. I am concerned, not so much with the sentiment that Christians are in spiritual war with the powers of darkness, and that darkness does include any false teachings about God. My concern was more with the manner in which that spiritual warfare is proposed to be conducted.
I have some serious doubts about the Biblical standing of this minister and his congregation in this regard. My doubt is based on Matthew 5:9
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God."
Now I know there are some things that simply need to be stood up for, and strongly so. I just believe that the manner this is being done is as inflamatory as the site selection of that proposed Mosque within 2 blocks of ground zero in New York.
Is this minister right in what he proposed? If not, how should Christians deal with the darkness that Islam represents in the world? How do we reach out to the lost that are trapped in the world of Islam, and show them the love that God has for them too?
