My name is Martyn McGeown, I'm the missionary pastor of the Limerick Reformed Fellowship. I blog with the hope that God might use it to gather His elect & glorify Himself. Please feel free to comment and interact, no matter your religious position - as long as you do so respectfully and are genuinely interested.
I hope you will be blessed reading this blog!
The Sufferings of Jesus were Voluntary
Another truth unappreciated by Muslims is that Jesus was not a helpless victim of tragic circumstances but that He willingly gave Himself to suffer. Many Muslims cannot understand how God could allow men to be so cruel to one of His great servants. But the truth is that Jesus suffered because it was the will of God, because He willed to fulfill God’s will, and because that was the only way in which sinners could be saved.
The sensationalism of the press is sometimes amusing, especially when it comes to religion. On 22nd May 20i3 the Huffington Post announced, "Pope Francis Says Atheists Who Do Good Are Redeemed , Not Just Catholics." The Daily Mail's headline was this: "Pope Francis Says Atheists Who Do Good Are Saved."
Supposedly, this is something new and groundbreaking.
It is not.
