Will of God

You know what Muslims, Mormons, and Jews say to me constantly? “You don't follow Jesus. You follow Paul.” Bro... you don't understand how Christianity works. You do NOT need Paul to believe Jesus is the Messiah. If Paul disappeared tomorrow, Christianity would still stand. Why? Because the Torah and the prophets already did the heavy lifting. Genesis: sin enters the world. Exodus and Leviticus: blood, atonement, and substitution. Passover: the spotless lamb. Isaiah: the suffering servant. Daniel: the Messiah. That's not Paul. That's Moses, David, Isaiah, Daniel, and the entire prophetic story. Paul didn't invent Jesus. Paul looked at the Scriptures and realized: This was ALWAYS about Him. And Paul wasn't some random guy making up theology. He was a Pharisee trained in the law. So when he preached, what did he quote? The Old Testament. Over. And over. And over. His argument was simple: If the Scriptures are true, Jesus Christ is unavoidable. So saying Christians follow Paul instead of Jesus is like saying you follow the referee instead of the rulebook. Paul isn't the point. He's pointing you to the point. Don't like Paul? Fine. Read Isaiah 53 without him. Read Psalm 22 without him. Read Daniel 9 without him. You'll still end up staring directly at Jesus. Christianity isn't built on Paul. It's built on the Messiah the Scriptures were already pointing to. And once I finally read Paul charitably... Bro. The man was an absolute SAVAGE for the faith. Follow this account for more Christian apologetics, Muslim evangelism, and the biblical truth that led me from Islam to Jesus.

When I was Muslim, I never asked who built the golden calf. I just knew it was a sin in the desert. Then I read both accounts and one detail stopped me cold. In the Bible, the man who builds the golden calf is AARON. Moses’ own brother. The first high priest. Exodus 32:4. He gathers the gold, melts it, shapes the idol. And when Moses confronts him, he gives the weakest excuse in scripture: “I threw the gold in the fire and out came this calf.” As if it made itself. Bro. The Bible just put the worst sin in the camp in the hands of the holiest man in the camp. You would NEVER write that if you were protecting your prophets. Now read the Quran. Surah 20. Aaron is cleared. Innocent. He tried to stop it. The blame goes to a mystery man called “al-Samiri.” The Samaritan. Surah 20:85. You know what shook me? The Bible incriminates its own high priest. The Quran writes him an alibi and invents a villain. One reads like an honest record. The other like damage control. And there’s a second problem with that villain. “The Samaritan.” But Samaritans didn’t exist in Moses’ time. The city of Samaria wasn’t founded until about 500 years later, under King Omri. 1 Kings 16:24. It’s like putting a Texan at the Last Supper. Now, some Muslim scholars push back — they say “Samiri” means something else. I’ll be fair, that argument exists. But their own classical commentators read it as “the Samaritan” for centuries. The defense only works by re-translating away from how the tradition always understood it. I used to say the Bible was corrupted. But the Bible is honest enough to say the high priest built the idol. Only a book honest about how bad we are could point me to a Savior real enough to fix it. The Bible never flattered Aaron. It didn’t flatter me either. It just told me the truth, and handed me Jesus.
