Please explain it to me quickly

“Please explain it to me quickly”

Wednesday night at the Oasis.

The bible talk, translated into Arabic and Farsi, is finished. The room filled with a majority of men mostly under 25 years old. Over coffee I start talking to a man sitting beside me. He begins...

“….I have read the bible and there are so many different ones…none of them agree with each other….

My name is M and I come from Algeria.

I studied and worked in law but it is no longer safe for me to stay in my country. There is much corruption….

Christians and Muslims they are the same they have the same belief about Adam and… how do you say…Eva. We have the same story. The Koran talks about Jesus that he was a prophet…. but he was not God….but I don’t understand you believe there are 3 Gods.

……my English is not very good so I cannot answer you well.

Here, look up this man on the internet and he explains it well…

I must go now …can you please explain it to me quickly...what it is you are talking about?”

There are many things that you cannot assume when talking with a muslim. There is much misunderstanding and fallacies to work through. Even so I profess to know too little of the Islamic faith. It is good to have a common area to start with like the story of creation and Adam and Eve. It is a good starting point. It is our starting point.  
So how do you explain the gospel, Gods great news for mankind, His plan of salvation, in a few minutes? Here is a system of basic drawings which I used to help me answer. It’s a start.

This system is called “2 ways to live”.

 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believes.. Romans1:16
