  The Qur'anic Exegesis & Analysis have been revealing some very insightful scientific thoughts about some of the contents of the koran. But I see some significant issues which seem to be escaping my Muslim friends!
  
  
  Unwittingly Muslims are repeating the same fatal mistake Israel made when they rejected Jesus as the Savior, and the life of their Jewish economy.
  
  An opportunity to learn from Bible historical experience
  
  In no uncertain terms God warns us in 1 Corinthians 10:5-6 that "Howbeit with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted."
  
  No Christ, no salvation
  
  Type was about to meet anti-type in the Jewish economy. Jesus, the Lamb of God who takest away the sin of the world (John 1:29) was about to be offered as the Ratifier of the New Covenant of grace (Isaiah 49:8, 1 Corinthians 11:25). Will Israel accept Him as heir Savior from sin?
  
  "I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he (Ex 3:14), ye shall die in your sins." John 8:24.
  
  
  Paul's desire and prayer: that Israel might be saved.
  
  "Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth" Romans 10:1-4.
  
  Why is Christ the end of the law for everyone that believeth?
  
  "We see, then, that as one act of sin exposed the whole race of men to God's judgment and condemnation, so one act of perfect righteousness presents all men freely acquitted in the sight of God. One man's disobedience placed all men under the threat of condemnation, but one man's obedience has the power to present all men righteous before God."
  Romans 5:18-19.
  
  Grace is a bigger thing than the Law. It imputes and imparts the merits of Christ's righteousness (sinlessness) to the believer by faith. God sees the believer as sinless because he sees his own moral character in the believer. In the law court in heaven, Christ is an advocate (lawyer) and the high priest (mediator) for his people.
  
  "Now we find that the Law keeps slipping into the picture to point the vast extent of sin. Yet, though sin is shown to be wide and deep, thank God his grace is wider and deeper still! The whole outlook changes - sin used to be the master of men and in the end handed them over to death: now grace is the ruling factor, with righteousness as its purpose and its end the bringing of men to the eternal life of God through Jesus Christ our Lord"
  Romans 5:19-20, Phillips.
  
  No questions asked; come one, come all--Muslims, Buddhists included.
  
  "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial (Satan)? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."
  2 Corinthians 6:14-18
