Rache an Christen geplant | Moslem begegnet Jesus | #ERFMenschGott

Summary

Bülent believed Christians had ruined his life. Soon after their wedding, his German wife became a Christian. He felt humiliated and feared losing her, so he tried to limit her churchgoing. Their arguments worsened, and when she was baptized, he flew into a rage, smashing mirrors, furniture, and his phone.

As the marriage continued to break down, Bülent blamed the church and began planning revenge on the Christians he thought had changed his wife. He headed to an evangelism event at Munich’s Odeonsplatz, describing himself as “a little bomb” of anger. He said he had no weapon but was afraid of how far he might go.

At the book table, he saw his wife and the Christian he held responsible. He recounts that his anger suddenly vanished and he felt as if God had spoken to him. A man from the community invited him to visit church. Bülent went, initially to see for himself who these people were.

The visit and later conversations with his wife led him to wrestle with differences between Islam and Christianity, especially what Christians believe about Jesus’ death and resurrection. Bülent says he felt repeatedly urged to be baptized. Though he worried that becoming a Christian would conflict with being Turkish and Muslim, he eventually chose baptism.

At first, he tried hard to become a “good person,” but grew frustrated and felt he was failing. Later, he describes a powerful experience of feeling loved and accepted by Jesus as he was. He says this changed how he treated his wife and led him to apologize to people he had hurt.

The couple’s relationship still needed rebuilding, but they stayed together and later had two children. Bülent also says that publicly sharing his conversion brought threats, though he eventually felt safer. The interview closes with him affirming his Christian faith and the host inviting viewers to seek God.
