<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">This past Sunday, Jerry Robinson continued his new teaching series with Lesson #2 of the<strong> <a href="http://veritastheology.com/store/#ecwid:category=2057038&amp;mode=product&amp;product=9493104">Unveiling Islam webinar series</a>. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">We had a wonderful discussion with Jerry, his wife Jennifer, and many of our audience members. We love for the audience to send in questions and comments, and we address these during the webinar. We had a tremendous turnout, and we want to thank those of you who joined us. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>What is Islam? An Introduction to Muslim Beliefs</h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Lesson #1 Overview</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Last night, we kicked off our very first teaching in our brand new<strong> <a href="http://veritastheology.com/current-teaching-series/">Unveiling Islam webinar series</a>. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">That&#8217;s right. We held our first teaching on Super Bowl Sunday. (<em>What were we thinking?</em>) Well, we couldn&#8217;t tell from the attendance. We had attendees from three continents! </span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">If you missed last night&#8217;s video lesson you can watch it below.</span></em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><iframe src="http://files.tubesnack.com/iframe/embed.html?hash=a5d5672c116791479a0262bdba464543&amp;wmode=window&amp;bgcolor=EEEEEE&amp;t=1328545830" frameborder="0" width="560" height="490"></iframe></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">In lesson #1, we covered quite of bit of information. Here&#8217;s a brief summary of what was discussed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">- Misunderstanding abounds on both sides of the Christian and Islam divide.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">- Despite how the mainstream media portrays it, not all Muslims are alike.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><em>Fact: Islam is the fastest growing religion not just in America, but in the world today.</em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Over the last several years, Western culture has been confronted by the rapid growth of Islam. Mosques are increasingly being built around America and new words are being injected into mainstream discourse like Ramadan, Koran, Jihad.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Some attribute the rapid growth of Islam strictly to mass immigration. However, the number of actual conversions annually outpaces that of Christianity. So Islam is succeeding in converting people without a systematized missionary effort like Christianity has.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><em>Fact: Only 15% of the world’s Muslims live in the Middle East</em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The largest Muslim nation in the world is Indonesia with 180 million Muslims.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">110 Million Muslims live in India.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Fact: In Western China alone, there are more Muslims than there are Southern Baptists in the entire world.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Followers of Islam subscribe to seven core beliefs. Every Muslim must accept these fundamental teachings.</span></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">A Belief in God (Allah)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">A Belief in Angels</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">A Belief in the inspired books of God. (Books of Moses, Psalms of David, Gospels of Jesus, Qur’an.)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">A Belief in many prophets (Beginning with Adam and ending with Muhammad)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">A Belief in the Last day</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">A Belief in the Divine measurement of time (this is an interesting concept that we will discuss in an upcoming session)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">A Belief in Life after death (Islam&#8217;s teachings on the afterlife are very intriguing and will discussed next week.)</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Three Fold Journey through Life</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Muslims believe that the human soul can be developed towards a state of total contentment through much study, prayer, and effort. Islam teaches that every soul can progress through three distinct stages during this life.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>1. The Animal Self:</strong> This is the first stage and is the most primitive. It is a state of selfishness and self-centeredness.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>2. The Accusing Self:</strong> This stage begins when an individual begins to ask himself deep questions such as: Why am I here?, Who is God?, etc. The deeper one travels down this path, the greater his self-awareness becomes and the closer he becomes to God.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>3. The Restful Self</strong>: This stage is also known as the &#8220;Contented Self.&#8221; In this stage, the individual is no longer moved by the world around him. He understands that this life is only a test. His soul is content and his mind is quiet.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">NEXT WEEK</span>: In Lesson #2, we will introduce the Muslim teaching about Allah. We will examine the four stages of life from the Muslim perspective and we will delve into the Islamic teachings on the afterlife, including the Muslim ideas of heaven and hell.</em></span></p>
