A Common Word
Presented
here is a Biblical
Christian response
to
"A Common Word Between Us And You" ("
A Common Word")
as well as a
recent update.
A Common Word was originally issued by 138 Muslim clerics to Christians
and our original
response to
A Common Word was co-signed by some of the
Christian visitors to our website, including leaders
from many denominations, some of whom have commented as below. Christians are welcome to
read
our update and
join the
list of co-signatories at the bottom of
our response to

"A truly
Christian response to 'A Common Word Between Us and You'"
Pastor Keith Doster, Grace Fellowship Church, Pine Grove Mills, Pennsylvania,
USA
"We must get
this to all Christians everywhere. We must continue to proclaim the message
of Jesus Christ as God's Only Son, regardless of the cost. We must
continue to proclaim as Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto
the Father, but by Me" (John 14:6). I pray we can get this out to
all."
Pastor J. Harold Davis, Immanuel Baptist Church, Bowling Green, Florida,
USA
"An excellent
response to the letter issued by 138 Muslim clerics. We
wholeheartedly support the
response as being a scriptural and Godly
response that clearly speaks to the theological differences we have with
Islam."
Jim & Pam Blande, Katy, Texas, USA

Excerpt:
To express our mutual sincerity and to take a concrete step forward, we propose
the following joint declaration:
1. We respect Muslims' freedom to gather in peace and safety to worship Allah,
including the freedom to build mosques, in both Muslim and
Christian areas. Likewise, we respect
Christians' freedom to gather in peace and safety to worship the God of the
Bible, including the freedom to build churches, in both Christian and Muslim areas.
2. We respect Muslims' freedom to print, import and distribute the Qur'an to
Christians, and Christians' freedom to access and read the Qur'an. Likewise, we
respect Christians' freedom to print, import and distribute Bibles to
Muslims, and Muslims' freedom to access and read the Bible.
3. We respect Christians' freedom to convert to Islam, and we respect Muslims'
freedom to convert to Christianity.
