Today's episode of the It Stands Written Podcast continues on the topic of the religion of Islam. The guys allow you to dive deep into what is behind the foundation of Islam and what is taught in the Quran. Listen as they break down five major doctrines that Islam teaches. They will also focus on the five pillars of Islam; confession, prayer, almsgiving, fasting, and pilgrimage. All of which increase the Muslim's chance at salvation. Islam is a religion that offers no assurance of salvation and no atonement for sin. Hold on to the hope highlighted in the Bible that offers perfect atonement for sin given by Jesus dying on the cross and the beauty of assurance that comes through the life of our perfect Savior.

Considering what is going on in Israel, the guys decided to take a break in their series of the Fruit of the Spirit to address a very relevant topic.

They also take a look through the Islamic religion and the life of the so-called prophet Muhammad. Pay attention through this series on how to line up truth from the Scripture to combat the teachings of the Quran.

Take a listen as Justin, Ernest, and Braden break down the meaning of the word used in Scripture.  The guys go in-depth on examples of patience seen through faithful believers in the lives of Job, Noah, and Abraham. We also see how patient God has been with people's sins in order to fulfill His plan and give people a chance to repent.
