Fisherking posted the following on a thread created to give positive support to believers. This is a site that is open to debate Religious views of ALL forms. A primary focus of debate is entailed in it’s name. Debating Christianity.com. It appears some disapprove of the expression “Insa Allah� I don’t even know if it's spelt right. I’m not even sure of it’s exact translated meaning. But I have heard it used often. And I have heard it used By Middle Eastern Christians AS WELL AS Muslims and loosely translated as “according to God’s Will� and more colloquially as “God Willing.�
As I used it initially was not with an intent to differentiate between Middle Eastern Muslims using the term OR Middle Eastern Christians using the term. Or any bodies particular meaning associated with the word. I meant it quite generally and honestly as turning over of OUR doing of God’s in GOOD FAITH as an action offered up to serve the Will of God as is implied by the term “God Willing� OR as translated into a Middle eastern tongue “Insha'Allah". Thus reminding myself and my brothers and sisters that service in doing God’s Will is a global endeavor and NOT just a local isolated expression.
But it seems pretty obvious that some people here and at least one declared Christian fundamentalist. Whose post is included here.
It appears this post is more of a challenge than an Affirmation of Faith. So I offer it up here for debate where it belongs, for Fisherman or any other believer who cares to review the arguments as presented.

Fear not my brothers and sisters to do the Will of God and bless the doing of God's Will
Yes, but Islam is a religion(a false one in my opinion).joer wrote:in every Language and Culture on Earth for that is God's and Christ's Will.
In this country the Hispanic population is rising. And your Hispanic bothers and sisters who are faithful in remembering that all comes from God. And All should take joy in doing God's Will. When they share a blessing or an expression of their desired behavior or achievement they say "Si Dios Quiere!" - God Willing. Fear not your Muslim brothers and sisters who bow before and bend their life and actions in life to Serve and Honor God by doing God's Will.
I do not hate or fear them, I just consider their religion to be false, based on the false teachings of Muhammad.joer wrote:Follow Not those who profess to do God's Will in any language or Culture even professed Christians who then go and DO THIER OWN HUMAN WILL to hate and fear others

Why did you post the Muslim phrase "Insa' Allah" in the Christian forum? Would you consider removing the phrase from your post?

So my question to you Fisherking and to any other believers who wish to comment, Are you Objecting to the use of the language regardless of weather Christians or Muslims are using it? Or are you objecting to just the use of the term “Insa Allah� (God Willing) ONLY when A Christian uses it regardless of where that Christian comes from?joer,
Me too.
By the way, are you a photographer of wildlife?
Here's a little reference on it.
