Listener's Mail
Saudi Arabia
I want to thank you for your wonderful program, but I have so many
questions:
-Why does Christianity consider Jesus as the Son of God?
-What do you think of Islam as a religion?
Does Christianity allow and accept people becoming Christians from
different backgrounds?
In other words can anyone become a Christian?
----------------------------------
Are you like me looking for the truth? Or are you convinced that
you are right and you want to defend your point of view and want to
convince me with your point of view. If 'yes' then I think we are wasting
our time talking. As long as we are honest, direct and open in our
discussion, we can go on as friends and in our chat too.
In our religion we believe in all the prophets. This means we believe in
Jesus too. But for common sense I can't believe that Jesus Christ is God
and He is the Son of God. This is a very difficult fact to understand. If
this is so, why do you pray to the Father and not to the Son?
Why didn't God send His Son in Moses' times or Solomon's times? At that
time, the people were crying out to God, the real God to save them too.
Was it because Jesus was not born yet in these old days?
Why do you love the Jews and you help them, when it was they who crucified
Jesus?
I hope that our friendship will be based on free talk, open minds and
honesty. Are you looking for truth like me?
----------------------------------
I was very happy to receive your message. I feel these days that
God gave my mind to think and to have principals because our days are very
limited. Once we die, our souls leave our bodies and we never can control
it and take it back to change things in our lives. It is only once in our
lives that we can make decisions. This fact leads me to search, ask
questions and look for the truth, regardless the country or religion. This
is what I'm looking for in the person who I want to talk and discuss
things. He should be open minded and not push his own believes and
religion.
When I think of Christ I don't want to be like the Jews who crucified Him.
Also I don't think He is the Lord.
What I believe is that He can do miracles with the approval and the power
of God. I believe He was a prophet sent by God to heal the sick and raise
the dead with the permission from God.
Also where can I read about the description of heaven where the believer
will go?
Also the description of hell where the nonbeliever will go?
I need to know your opinions and answers to my questions.
----------------------------------
I am sorry I delayed the answer to your letter and that was outside
my will, I had problems at my work and so I started another work in Saudi,
this time in Jeddah and I think this change was from God because I feel
comfortable in my new job and am surrounded by Christians and I thank God
for they are also happy to have me there. I wanted to answer your lovely
letter but I didn't have a stable address. But now that I have a flat, I
will send you the new address so that you can send the new publications
and whatever you used to send before. I thank all those who are
ministering in the voice of Forgiveness and who are reaching out with the
message of Jesus Christ, wishing them health and happiness in this world
and also in Eternity with Jesus Christ who came to the world, taking the
form of man, being like us in every way except for sin. As for your
questions, they seem to be simple but to answer is not that easy. We don't
encounter God only at death. God is in me, I think of Him in rest and when
I'm tired, in happiness and distress, in the morning and evening. He is in
my life all the time and He is working in me. I see His hand forming
me like the potter works on the clay to make a nice plate. And I ask Him
to be always beside me and even if I stray away I ask my Father to stand
next to me, because the seed needs good soil and care to bring forth good
fruit. And when I leave, after death, I am not worried because I will be
with the one I love and He is my hope after death. Even if I am in the
shadow of death I fear no evil for He is with me - He promised "Come unto
me all ye who are heavy laden I will give you rest. Waiting for your
answer.
----------------------------------
Brothers, I send you my love and greetings. I am so happy to be
able to correspond with you, as this is the only way I can express myself
and can talk to you and tell you about myself. I admire your programs,
which are so nice. I hope you can write back so that I know that you
received my letter. I also wish to know more about your religion and the
good news which you share, and I wish I could get a copy of the Bible -
But there is one problem, the letters come to my Uncle's address, and I am
afraid I will have trouble. I hope you can get it another way. I am an
admirer of yours and a listener to your program. Thanks!
----------------------------------
My dear friend Tina,
I send you warm greetings and much love asking God for your good health
and well being when you get this letter, as well as the other staff
members of Voice of Forgiveness.
My friend Tina, I received your letter recently and I was very happy and
delighted at the friendship you have expressed in your letter towards me.
I really wish that I could also have a copy of the Gospels in order to
study it because I know very little about the Christian religion and I'm
sure that the Gospels will have information that will help me in many
areas. That's why I asked you for a copy of the Gospels and I continue
asking for it and I ask that you don't forget my request. Your programs
have become very close to my heart and I am very pleased with what you
broadcast.
Pray for me and accept from me my warmest greetings and best wishes.
----------------------------------
I am one of the new listeners to your respectful station. Thank you
very much for all the programs and may God bless you. I would like to
receive some information about Christ because I don't know a lot about
him. Please send me a copy of the holy Bible and your daily schedule.
Peace to you all.
----------------------------------
Is it possible to build between the listener and the radio
directly? I need to know more about the life of Christ. Please do not
delay in answering my letter and sending me the Bible. I sent a lot of
letters asking you and other stations to send me the Bible but never
received it.
----------------------------------
To the Director of Voice of Forgiveness Radio, Greetings to you.
After I have heard your program I have a big desire to own a Bible
in the Arabic Language so I can be sure of what you are broadcasting in
your program. Please could you send this Bible to me. Thank you.
----------------------------------
For over 2 years I have been listening to spiritual programs on the
radio and writing down the things from the Holy Bible which I've benefited
from. I would like to ask you to send me a copy of the Gospel so that I
can know my way better and reach the secrets of the great religion. I live
in a country where it is very hard to get a Bible. That's why it would be
like a dream for me to get a copy and I thank you deeply. I had a lot of
difficulty in trying to write to your Lebanon address, especially at the
post office.
