“And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach from Jesus Christ” (Acts 5:42).

Several verses like this in the Bible encourage preaching the message of the gospel.

Clear and concise instructions that humans' overzealous attempt to drive others to faith continue to frustrate over centuries.

Witch hunt in 16th century Europe, faith themed Slave trade in Africa, Crusades and ravaging wars.

Actions that beg the question, is it actually God these souls are to be won for or the ego of maniacs desperate for control over their others?

It bothers me enough to write this today that the many preachers of gospel have sadly lost track of the goal, forgetting that the world is equally shared with people of different beliefs, and that it will remain the same till Jesus come.

Disclaimer:

I am a Muslim, raised in a typical Christian culture. I have a Christian Middle name till date, but I did made my choice. This is not an attempt to disrespect the Christian faithfuls.

With that out of the way, I'd like a discussion on the anxiety of Christian evangelists and preachers for the Islamic faith.

Not that it hinders Islam from its growing influence as the world's fastest growing faith and the religion with most devout, but it's disturbing to see influencers resort to rumor mongering and misinformation on Islamic teaching rather than focusing on the message of the gospel.

I think these preachers convince themselves that spreading false information and hate about Islam won't make more people continue to turn away from Christianity, when infact its the church itself.

I would like a mature discussion on this observation.
