Dr H.. said:
Does not ?so-called Christians? insult those of the Islamic faith; in fact ?so-called Christians? insult other ?Christians? to include JW, SDA, Mormons, and Catholic as well as Jews. Too often we take the name ?Christian? and misuse and abuse it. There are millions that proclaim to be a Christian, but are they all Christians, absolutely not. No more than everyone that?s baptized knows Christ.
We first have to examine ourselves to see if we are ?Christians? This country portrays itself to be a ?Christian Country? is it, or is it infested with pseudo-Christians. The only thing holding this country together is due to a few people that trying to do right. In the OT Israel had few that tried to do the will of God, therefore He did not bring total judgment on Israel.
Jesus commissioned the apostles to spread Christianity throughout the world (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8) -- but it was Jesus Himself who "founded" Christianity with His death, shed blood, and resurrection from the dead ?Not man?
So why don?t ?WE? because we are to busy pointing fingers searching for the faults others, be it based on race, creed, color, religion etc?..
So-called Christians need to go back, read and under what Jesus is talking about:
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam [is] in thine own eye?
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Matthew 7:3-5
When will ?Christians? learn?
Christianity is not a religion; it is a spiritual intimate relationship with God. It is trusting in Jesus and what He did on the cross (1 Corinthians 15:1-4), not on what you can do for yourself (Ephesians 2:8-9). Christianity is not about pointing fingers at other?s beliefs, size of the congregations, flamboyant buildings, flamboyant preachers, rituals or denomination. Christianity is about truly accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior and following the rules established by the ?Godhead? as they were inspired ?God breath? upon the Apostles and handed down to us.
This country is guilty of genocide, but no ones want to confront the issue. It?s guilty of economic genocide on the citizens.
Muhammad ibn Abdallah ibn Abd al-Muttalib circa 570-632, the profit of Islam, was a man of war. He taught his followers to fight for HIS NEW RELIGION. (christianity already existed) He said that your god, Allah, had commanded muslims to take up arms which was no joke because HE fought in numerous battles. Did Jesus fight in any battles???? Nope, Jesus taught peace and tolerance turn the other cheek, not chopping the heads off of your enemies. No, Jesus taught things like LOVE thy enemy. Muhammad didn't teach that, unless they converted or paid a tax to continue in their belief system but under the strict rule of Islamic law and subjugated under muslim rule like blacks were under whites in Jim Crow 20th century America. Muhammad and Islam's warring nature is essential to anyone who really wants to understand what
caused the Crusades or now what has led to the rise of the GLOBAL JIHAD MOVEMENT.
Muhammad ASSUMED the role of prophet. He so called received revelations from Allah through the angel Gabriel and started preaching the worship of One God AND HIS OWN POSITION AS A PROPHET. He was not taken seriously by the Quraysh in Mecca who refused to give up their gods. Even his uncle Abu Lahab, REJECTED his message and Muhammad cursed him and his wife which is preserved in the Qur'an,,, i.e., "May the hands of Abu Lahab perish! May he himself perish! Nothing shall his wealth and gains avail him. He shall be BURNT (yeah,, like American soldiers in Falugia. you are consistant must agree) in a flaming fire, and his wife, laden with faggots, shall have a rope of fibre around her neck!" (Qur'an 111:1-5) ,, not too consistent there. today yall just chop off the heads of your enemies. Just like today a Quraysh chieftain Abu Jahl was beheaded by a muslim who carried the head to Muhammad and said, "I cut off his head and brought it to the apostle, saying, 'This is the head of the enemy of God, Abu Jahl.'" ,,, gee that sounds really familiar to today don't it?
And here are some interesting views of the "religion of peace" today:
Those who reject Islam are "the vilest of creatures" (Qur'an 98:6)
Anyone who insults or even opposes Huhammad or his people deserves a humiliating death - by heheading if possible, in accordance with Allah's command to "smite the necks" of the "unbelievers" (Qur'an 47:4)
And then when you compare Jesus to Muhammad, take Matthew 5:44 and Qur'an 8:60:
"Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you",,, Matthew 5:44 (,, which personally i think is stupid when you got fanatics willing to kill you by any means necessary.)
then take Muhammad on the other hand:
"Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom you may not know, but whom Allah doth know." Qur'an 8:60 (,,, now if the dopey ultra-liberals in this country WOULD LISTEN TO MUHAMMAD AND THE QUR'AN instead of all this PC garbage,, all this crap would come to a head and be over real quick.)
Also, Muslims/Islam see any aggression as a pretext for revenge, regardless of whether they provoked it. Muslims/Islam is good at swaying public opinion now days and as such Jihadists and your PC allies in the U.S. on the left use current events as pretests to justify things islamic fundamentalists do. You portray yourselves as merely REACTING to grievous provocations from the enemies of Islam/errr the U.S.,, and win poppular opinion. The bottom line is jihadists were fighting long before Abu Ghraib, Iraq, Israel, OR AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE!!!!!! Islam has been fighting and imitating your warrior Prophet every since the seventh century but spinning it as only having to do so because of your enemies!
if you are muslim you will say christianity is not real. if you are christian you will say islam is not real. both sides have been killing since they originated, no one or the other is perfect. today/now, it's islamic fundamentalists WHO ARE COMMITTING GENOCIDE AND KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE so THEY ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN THIS NATIONS/CHRISTIANS. All things equal,, this nation/christians need to take a page out of the Qur'an,, oh but no, that would be POLITICALLY INCORRECT in a nation like the U.S. where ISLAM can thrive and christianity is under more attack THAN ISLAM!
Also,, would have to ask, if you could have your way, would you like for this country to be converted to Islam and the government to become an Islamic regeme like Iran etc? Do you think this would SOLVE all the problems of this country and the world???? This is the bottom line once you get beyond all this rubbish on a (relatively) FREE AND OPEN FORUM like this IN AN HCC (Historically Christian Country). On the other hand,,, I would ask you,,, if a person was in an ISLAMIC/MUSLIM country and was opposed to ISLAM like YOU are opposed to Christianity,,,, would they have the freedom to say so like you do here?????
Look at what happened to the guy in Europe that wrote the "Satanic Verses" i think it was that was considered an insult to Islam/Muslims. Granted, he was killed by a fanatical private citizen,, but what if you ran a website like this in countries ruled by islamic fundamentalist leaders; you gonna sit here and tell me that we could have this exchange in thos countries and groups and the media be so anti-islam/muslim in a predominantly muslim/islamic country as we are here when it comes to being anti-christian??????? i mean please.
