Rashid has deceived himself into believing Muhammad was more like Jesus than the apostle Paul. So, it would appear that Rashid does not believe the apostle Paul was either a Jew or a Christian, even though Scripture quite frequently tells us he was both–a Jew by physical birth and a Christian (a completed Jew) by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He believes the apostle Paul “broke away from the Jews and Christians” with his blood atonement theory. Rashid argued that Jesus’ focus was not on human sacrifice, but rather keeping the law of God. There are only two existing worldviews: biblical Christianity, and everything else lumped into a putrid pile of Christ-hating, sin-loving delusion.Īs explained by Rashid, Muslims believe the apostle Paul created the theology of atonement by human sacrifice.

Adnan Rashid affirmed what I already believe, based on Scripture.

James White beautifully preached the gospel to his opponent and to everyone in attendance. My 30,000′ view of the debate revealed two things: He has debated many high profile figures in the field of politics, history, Muslim/Christian theology.” My View of the Debate from 30,000′ He also takes a keen interest in lslamic numismatics, ancient manuscripts and antiquities. He is the author of more than twenty books, a professor, an accomplished debater, and an elder of the Phoenix Reformed Baptist Church.”Īdnan Rashid “is a historian with a speciality in the history of Islamic civilisation, comparative religion and Quran/Hadith sciences.

James White “is the director of Alpha and Omega Ministries, a Christian apologetics organization based in Phoenix, Arizona. But for those of you who are not familiar with him, Dr. Most of you who read my blog are likely familiar with Dr. The question to be answered in the pre-conference debate was this: “Do we need the cross for salvation?” Arguing in the affirmative was Dr. The first activity we attended was a pre-conference debate. We checked into our hotel near the Atlanta Airport, grabbed something to eat, and made our way to the Convention Center. During quieter times, we listened to sermons, read books, and studied our bibles. We watched Gratia Mediae’s biography about Martyn Lloyd-Jones on the way to Atlanta. The road trip was a wonderful time of fellowship and discipleship. Sister Brenda made sure we were well-stocked with food and drink. My two brothers drove over 1,600 miles and for some 30 hours. I have no dramatic stories about their driving to report. They got us to the conference and back home safely. Pastor Mike and Brother Ryan shared the driving duties. Corey and Sarah Cunningham are blessed with eight children, which makes such a large vehicle a necessity. The Cunningham Family, who did not attend this year, gave us the use of their family transit bus for the journey. Rumor has it that our church brought the largest contingent of people the last two years. My church attends the G3 Conference every year. Together, we join a dozen of our closest friends–members of our Grace Fellowship Church family. I was blessed to be joined by my daughter, Michelle. I attended the G3 Conference for the second time this year. I hope the article proves to be a resource the reader can return to often and share with others. My hope is that the following reflections will provide the reader with helpful apologetic, evangelistic, and discipleship information. I’ve written it in such a way that it can be read in part or in whole.

The teaching throughout was exceptional, which means it was biblical and often practical.

Most of the conference sessions left me feeling like I was trying to drink water from a fire hydrant. In fact, there were a couple of sessions during which I didn’t take any notes. While I took a lot of notes, what follows is in no way an exhaustive collection. This article will include both bullet-point text and narratives. The theme of the 2018 G3 Conference, which was once again held in Atlanta, GA, was “A Biblical Understanding of Discipleship.” In this article I will share some of my reflections from the conference.
