It's noteworthy that those employing that reasoning seem to also gravitate toward the idea of a "western values" test for immigration. As I line up my Biblical convictions against western values, I wouldn't pass such a test myself.James Bronsveldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18330385638322033748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20213892.post-539105285324940472017-03-28T16:00:06.054-07:002017-03-28T16:00:06.054-07:00The HAZMAT suit line made me laugh.The HAZMAT suit line made me laugh.KJB1611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20213892.post-25863457620865083042017-03-28T15:36:31.496-07:002017-03-28T15:36:31.496-07:00Thankyou Kent for tackling the big issues.

Many people get caught up in the emotion and hype of moslem dress but they need to hear the gospel from me.<br />Thanks Craig.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191841072741059097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20213892.post-18144188934017003132017-03-28T14:52:40.784-07:002017-03-28T14:52:40.784-07:00Thanks Jonathan,

I agree with you on this issu...Pastor Brandenburg,<br /><br />I agree with you on this issue.<br /><br />I will sometimes listen to a certain radio show where the host goes to a college campus for open air preaching and one-on-one evangelism each Wednesday. I enjoy listening and it is an encouragement for me to do the same. However, almost every time he interacts with a Muslim woman, he brings up the modesty she is exhibiting as though she is necessarily doing so by compulsion. I am certain that there are Muslim women for whom that is the case, just as I know there are independent Baptist women who dress the way they do for reasons other than personal biblical conviction.<br /><br />I'm not sure why the man persists with that line of reasoning because I've never even heard a woman accept his premise, much less be moved in her thinking. They normally explain to him that they are doing what they believe to be an honorable and righteous thing.<br /><br />In the end, I think that at least 2 errors are made:<br /><br />1. Adopting as a starting point in evangelism a perspective held by the fickle society around us that is not in alignment with principles found in the Bible.<br /><br />2. The tone and rhetoric used end up being condescending (at best) to the many Christian men and women who choose to dress in a biblically modest way and are compelled only by their love for God.<br /><br />Thanks for you recent articles and for being willing to address these issues with clarity.<br /><br />In Christ,<br />JonathanJonathan Speerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948005615737546620noreply@blogger.com
