Are you familiar with the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector? If not, you can read as this can be found in Luke 18:9-14: “Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
“I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” – Luke 18:14

“The very center and core of the whole Bible is the doctrine of the grace of God.” – J. Gresham Machen
Tawhid or Trinity? Dr. Shabir Ally and Dr. Nabeel Qureshi Debate
Debates are very good source of learning especially if done between or among scholars or experts. This debate is one of them. What is God Really Like: Tawhid or Trinity? Dr. Nabeel Qureshi and Dr. Shabir Ally debates on “Who Is The Real God? Allah or the Trinity?” moderated by Ms. Julie Roys, host of Moody Radio’s “Up For Debate” show. It is a very interesting debate. Sit back and watch up to the end. It’s a long video but it’s worth watching.
Tawhid is an Arabic term meaning doctrine of “the oneness” of God; also transliterated as Tawheed and Tauheed) is the concept of monotheism in Islam.
Trinity (from Latin trinitas “triad”, from trinus “threefold”)is a Christian Doctrine. Defines God as three consubstantial persons, expressions, or hypostases: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit; “one God in three persons”. The three persons are distinct, yet are one “substance, essence or nature”.In this context, a “nature” is what one is, while a “person” is who one is.

Franklin Graham is one of the outspoken Christian leaders against Gay Marriage. On this video, Todd Starnes and Franklin Graham react to Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage. Franklin Graham says that “the Court has no authority to change or override God’s laws which define marriage as between one man and one woman.”
“I believe the Bible. God loves us. No questions about that. But sin is sin. And God has standards. And when violate those standards, any type of sexual relationship outside of marriage relationship between a man and a woman is sin against God.” – Franklin Graham
