One of the first things which struck me about the Qur’an the first time I read it was how it can suddenly and jarringly jump to a completely different scene,
I’ve often been told that the Torah and the Injil were only for the Jews. However, two problems: The Pickthall translation doesn’t hide it: He hath revealed unto thee (Muhammad)
John Fontain recently debated David Wood on the Islamic Dilemma, which points out that the Qu’ran both affirms the Torah and Gospel while contradicting them. John has a rather different
Those who attempt to say that the Qur’an teaches the corruption of the earlier scriptures, often appeal to Qur’an 5:48, but this argument turns on the translation of the word
I’m reading through the Qu’ran one last time this year and wanted to follow along with a Tafsir. I discovered Quran Garden which was just the sort of thing I
The Qur’an claims that if it were not from God, there would be many contradictions in it. However, there is one Qur’anic verse which presents an inherent contradiction! In chapter

The Qur’an speaks about Allah helping the followers of Jesus and keeping them “uppermost”, but this presents a dilemma since, historically, this has to refer to Trinitarian Christians… which is
Trent Horn has recently been in Australia debating Raphael Lataster, a secular teacher of religion and someone who holds that Christ never existed. For those of you in the States who didn’t stay up until 3am to watch the debate (lightweights!), here’s a recording of the debate:
I posted a video of this song several years ago, but it recently came to my attention that the song now has an official music video. So cringeworthy…so good.

So, as you may have noticed, posts have once again started to appear here at Restless Pilgrim. After several grueling months, my project at work is now basically done.
I was meant to be on vacation this week, but I’ve been dragged back to my project, albeit half-time. As a result, the posts here thus far have been of the simple, short variety.
However, the good news is that I’m slowly chipping away at some longer, more substantial posts (to be tagged as featured). I’m hoping that some of these articles will be ready to post sometime next week.
There’s a lot of changes coming, both in my “real” life and also here on this blog. I’m really looking forward to sharing with you what’s there on the horizon…
Every Christian should find for himself the imperative and incentive to become holy.
If you live without struggle and without hope of becoming holy, then you are Christians only in name and not in essence. But without holiness, no one shall see the Lord, that is to say they will not attain eternal blessedness.

Here is “Have Everything” by David Dunn. The video is pretty sweet…
First time I met you, I was on my knees
Praying, “Lord, if you’re out there, can you speak to me?”

My life looked like a hurricane
The moment I felt Your grace
You can have me, You can have everything, Oh I am Yours Not holding on, I’ll do anything, So I promise, Lord, It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn I found a place where I’m home Nothing I want more than what you’ve given me Hey, so you can have everything x3

Every day
I’m gonna wake up, Gonna wake up
Wake up and say
You can have me, have everything
