Our fears of Islam are amply justified by the test of the Koran and the life of Mohammed.

There is no ambiguity. Colin did not write of Salvation, but "knowledge and experience" and whilst Muslims do  not know God in Christ or his Salvation, they will have, as all human beings do, some limited knowledge and experience of God. See Romans 1.19f.

Thank you, Colin for this thoughtful piece of work.

I wonder whether the dignified reaction of the parents of the three muslims killed in Birmingham during the riots might serve to present an alternative face for Islam in the UK. As a priest in a white working class area of the city, a number of folks have commented about how impressed they were.

It does not mean that the fears of many are reduced, but another voice can be presented and embraced.

Is Colin in his last sentance implying that Islam and the Koran can give saving knowledge of God? there is some ambiguity in who is included in "us".

Genesis 1:28a posted by Andrew Chapman

Thanks, Bowman. And does this - the pleasantness of compliance to God's order and commands - not apply not only to aspects of the law given to Israel, which we are not obliged to keep, but also to the traditions of the apostles, which we are instructed to hold on to, and pass on to the next g...

Women Bishops: Church in all its Fullness posted by Andrew Chapman

I quite like Bowman's point that there is potential danger in bringing the women bishops issue into Ephesians 5 (if I can put it like that), which is about marriage. If we want to know 'how we should conduct [ourselves] in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pilla...

The meaning of kephale in scripture posted by Andrew Chapman

Bowman, you say that the only distinguishing quality of the relationships: Christ:man, man:woman, God:Christ, and Christ:church, husband:wife (I have added one there), is coinherence. Surely, there is a hierarchy of authority visible here. Jesus submits to the Father, the church submits to the Lo...
