Chuck Colson: Muslims are 'Better Theologians' than American Christians

I like Colson. In fact, I think every Christian should read his book, How Now Shall We Live.

However, I have to disagree with him on this one. A theologian, by definition, is one who gives a reasoned discourse about God. According to my beliefs and the Bible there is only one true God. How can a Muslim give a reasoned discourse on that which is false to begin with? Have you ever read the Koran? It’s wild nonsense.

The only redeeming factor is that if a Muslim is genuinely seeking truth they will eventually bump into Jesus as He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Christians need to better at representing, not reasoning.

Trying to shame Christians into a better relationship with God by comparing is also a false premise. Romans 2:4 says, “...the goodness of God leads you to repentance.”

I honestly believe God is less worried about His Church than Colson and Barna. Reason goes out the window when you realize that a Muslim must die for his/her “god” so they can get to heaven. Our God died for us!
