Former Muslims Message & Plea

[Valerie]

I have likewise learned that ex-Catholic people aren’t the best sources to learn about Catholic practice from. (Growing up this is all I was exposed to and I ended up having distorted ideas of how Catholic people live.)

Probably true with people coming from any denomination.

Maranatha,, Lord come quickly, your Church is so sected and tearing one another apart. This truly grieves me, and i would think You. Have mercy on us!

So what stops tou from becoming Muslim or Mennonite?

I was raised atheist and I don't like the idea of miracles. I relate far more to the Old Testament than to the New Testament or Quran. I actually asked the expert on Islam at my local mosque if I should become Muslim and he said no. He understands me well enough to realize that I am not compatible with such a religion.

There are a lot of miracles in the Old Testament Franklin, after all, this is the true and living God we are talking about, creator of heaven and earth. You may not believe in Him but He believes in you!

This was pisted by a Mennonite FB friend regarding this man in jail:

"Its Mother's Day.
We celebrate them...... Rightly so.
Heaven knows they deserve it.

Meanwhile.......
Thousands of miles away, he sits alone in his cell.
Wondering.
Bleeding.
Hurting.
Yet..... Immersed in the Presence.

Sometime in the last 2 years, Christ called to his heart.
He responded.
Peace, transformation, love flooded his heart.
He turned from the fear and hate of Islam, to the Love of the Living Christ.

But in Libya, today, that is illegal.
As it is in many countries.
2 Billion people live under this oppression.

Last month, 36 of these believers were arrested in Libya. 1 has already been executed. 6 are currently condemned to death.
Not a word from the Press.
It doesn't suit the agenda.
Alone.
Unknown.
Ignored.
Constantly persecuted, beaten, screamed at, attempts to " reconvert" them to Islam.
Communication keeps being blocked and we are losing contact.
Can you please pray today?
Thank you."
