Islam is like a rope ladder....

'Twelve years ago, Trinity Parish in Leipzig [Germany], a tiny congregation of the Independent Lutheran Church, began teaching German as a second language to [Iranian] asylum seekers awaiting government approval of their refugee status.... Trinity used Luther's Bible translation as a textbook....

"Today, one third of our 150 members are Persians," says Markus Fischer, Trinity's pastor.'

Referring to Iran, "Every day 17 million of its 79 million people listen to programs via Christian satellite radio and television from abroad."

Here's more from the article. "We know that faithful ministers of the state-related churches also baptize ex-Muslims, but we are left in the dark about the numbers.... We are aware of faithful Catholic priests doing likewise." 

"Islam is like a rope ladder on which people try to reach God. They manage to climb a few rungs, but with each sin, fall off the ladder and must start all over again. Christians, by contrast, need no ladder because Jesus comes down to earth for them. Christians have salvation. Muslims don't."

"As to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless. 

But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ." The Apostle Paul, Philippians 3:7
