Here's a video of Erick, who spoke after my debate this past Sunday. It's too bad that escaping false teachings isn't an Olympic event. This guy would get the gold! (Pay close attention to his work in Indonesia, and the difficulty of evangelizing in Muslim countries.)

Dear David,
It was a pleasure meeting you at the debate that took place this past Sunday at the Reston Sheraton. I enjoyed the debate between you and Farhan Qureshi, and I enjoyed the testimonies of both Nabeel Qureshi and Erick Venden.
Though you said some great things in your defense of our religion, I wished that you elaborated more on Jesus' commandments, because Farhan Qureshi kept saying that we do not have a law to follow, and you kept stressing on the love and the transformation that occurs in our hearts when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, which will not make much sense to Muslims whose religion is not as spiritual as ours, since their religion is totally based on the five senses. I agree with you about the transformation inside of us, but this might not be understood by those who reject Christ. They need more tangible answers, and they need to know that every word uttered by Jesus, and every act of his was a commandment. I am sure you know all his commandments, but for the readers and those who do not, here is a list of all the "laws" and commandments which we Christians must follow: http://www.loveallpeople.org/pearl-thecommandmentsofjesus.html
Also, I wanted to point out that every commandment of good deeds in the Koran, Allah limited it to the believers. Islam teaches Muslims to love one another, not steal or rape or kill the "mu'minin' but it never teaches them to be kind to non-Muslims [and this, I believe is the greatest objection to Islam]. It is a very selfish, tribal revenge doctrine. Wishing you all the best in your mission. May God bless you.
Just was wondering why david wood always says bad things about mormons who love christ and follow his example. I enjoy jesus or muhammad but i think Mormons are christians just like baptists are.
This is my body which is broken for you,this do in remembrance of ME,..
This passage of scripture about the communion of Christ has always give a strength ,when I saw my Church burnt down back in Indonesia,..but still through persecution we understand more and more about the True Suffering of Christ.,.. we gave thanks to God for our sorrow.
is the same principle of the olive fruit : the more the fruit being crush,beaten,grind ,..the more the oil will be produce ,..this oil from the olive will often use to preparing for anointing,..
We need the anointing of God to broke every yoke and bondage to preach the gospel,..and often we have to let the persecution happened,..is not our will But His will be done in Our life,..
Glory be the God,..
pardon for my English
