Ex-Christian - Chapla<strong>in</strong> Yusuf Skip Estes. U.S.A<br />

“<strong>Islam</strong> means surrender and obey your Lord <strong>in</strong> s<strong>in</strong>cerity and peace.<br />

Whoever is try<strong>in</strong>g to do this, is a Muslim. If someone believes <strong>in</strong> God<br />

as one God and wants to commit their life to serv<strong>in</strong>g him and obey<strong>in</strong>g<br />

his law, then that person will be <strong>in</strong> the right way and will be saved<br />

accord<strong>in</strong>g to God‟s <strong>Mercy</strong>. No one can take the s<strong>in</strong>s <strong>of</strong> another and the<br />

guilty must stand accused for what they have done. It will be up to God<br />

to forgive or punish accord<strong>in</strong>g to his judgment on that day.”<br />

“I consider that I have not left the teach<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>of</strong> Jesus, On the Contrary, I<br />

feel much closer to Jesus peace be on him. Now I worship the same<br />

God Jesus worshipped and serve the same Lord he served, In the same<br />

way he did.<br />

Jesus prayed to the Almighty and taught his followers to do the same.<br />

I am simply do<strong>in</strong>g what he commanded to the best <strong>of</strong> my ability and ask<br />

Almighty God to accept it.”<br />

However, becom<strong>in</strong>g a M<strong>in</strong>ister would commit me and my whole family<br />

to the Church full time for life. So just before attend<strong>in</strong>g Bible College, I<br />

thought it best to look at <strong>Christianity</strong> critically and ask some very<br />

serious questions about my faith. I questioned the tr<strong>in</strong>ity, why God<br />

would need a son, and why the human sacrifice <strong>of</strong> Jesus, as stated <strong>in</strong> the<br />

bible, was needed to provide me with forgiveness. I questioned the<br />

Christian belief <strong>of</strong> how all the righteous people <strong>in</strong> the Old Testament<br />

were “saved” and <strong>in</strong> heaven if Jesus wasn‟t even born yet. I pondered<br />

serious questions about <strong>Christianity</strong> that I had neglected to ask my<br />

whole life. The answers I received from Christians on these theological<br />

issues “which are the basis <strong>of</strong> the faith <strong>in</strong> <strong>Christianity</strong>” defied all reason<br />
