New Podcast Let Us Reason - A Christian/Muslim Dialogue

Al Fadi and  Joel Richardson continue the discussion of Joel's book " From Sinai to Zion".  This book deals with a series of prophecies which starts with Genesis 3:15 (the first gospel),and ends with the coming of the Son of Man(the second coming).  In Daniel 7, Jesus is both the Messiah; the crushing one and Yahweh (God Almighty) who is coming back to save us.  They discuss in more details the pillar of cloud who is called the Angel of the Lord in Exodus 14 and Jesus coming back in the clouds as the gospels tell it.  A fascinating detailed discussion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some people use passages from the Bible(Jer. 10: 2-4, Isa. 44: 14-15) to say that we should not celebrate Christmas, but Al Fadi answers three arguments of why Christians should celebrate Christmas using J Hampton Keathley III.  1. Christmas is commercialized and materialized. 2. Scripture does not authorize it.  3. The Scripture forbids it.  He points out that we have to look at the context of the passages and ask ourselves what is the reason behind the celebration.  He also points to passages in the new testament where angels, shepherds ,and magi celebrated the birth of our Lord.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi and Joel Richardson continue their discussion on the second coming of Christ.  They look at Deuteronomy 33,Isaiah 63,Psalm 68,and Habakkuk 3.  In Deuteronomy ,the Lord is marching and shining like fire and lightening from Sinai..  In Isaiah 63 the majestic marching of the Lord from Edom soaked in his enemies blood,  In Habakkuk, God radiating and shining from the south; a messianic deliverance where he will spread the red sea again.  All these passages are explained in Joel's new book in more details, which explains the ultimate fulfillment of the coming of Christ.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi discusses with Joel Richardson his new book ; Sinai to Zion, about the untold story of the triumphant return of Jesus.  The book has three parts: 1. The Mosaic covenant on Mt Sinai which was a bilateral covenant ,and was understood as a wedding/betrothal ceremony between God and Israel.  2. The restoration of Israel.  3. The return of Jesus on the clouds; he goes in details about old and new testament prophecies about that. The book is found on joeltrumpet.com.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi and Joel Richardson continue their discussion on mount Sinai ,and some of the evidence that indicates its possible new location:1. The split rock where water came out of (Exodus 17: 6, Is.48:21) ; this rock is a massive rock. 2. The presence of Jewish graves; the Bible talks about 3 thousand people died after the making of the golden calf;( Exodus 32:28). 3. The presence of some petroglyphs; ie menorah. These things makes it hard to deny the possibility that Jabal Al-Luz is the true Mount Sinai.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi discusses  the subject of the real location of Mount Sinai with his guest speaker Joel Richardson.  Joel explains why he believes that Mt Sinai is in NW Saudi Arabia. His first line of evidence is that it is located on the eastern side of the Red Sea .The second evidence is the ancient Jewish tradition believed by Jewish historians, like Josephus and Filo which believed that Mt Sinai is the tallest mountain in Midian which is now the northern part of Saudi Arabia , and that it is called mount Moses by the locals.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi talks about the man born blind in John 9:1-7. The common world view of that day is that if a person was blind; it was either he or his parents have sinned.  Jesus refuted that by healing the man both spiritually and physically. People tend to focus on the physical and forget about the most urgent need for the human heart which is healing of the spiritual blindness.  God created us in His own image so that we can have fellowship with Him and and it is by our obedience to Him that we can fulfill our purpose in life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Bible does encourage Christians to participate in government for a variety of reasons including being a buffer against  the wrong interpretation of scripture.  For example ,in Daniel 4:27, Daniel told the king to break off his sins; he told him the truth and that way God used Daniel to be  a counselor.  Another example in Jeremiah 29: 7, God asked His people to seek the welfare of the city of there captivity, and to pray for the city.  There is a lot of other examples in the old testament and some in the new testament (Mt 14: 3,4, Luke 3: 18-20) are some examples that God used His people to make an influence for God's larger plan.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This view says that nothing good comes from the church's involvement in politics.  It is wrong because God left Christians on earth to influence society and that by being involved in all aspects of life , which include being in government.  Both church and government  are instruments to help restrain evil; 1 john 3: 8. Historical church involvement helped rid societies in the past of evil practices like infanticides and branding criminals faces.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
