| Swords into Plowshares |
Most of the visits to my blog of late have been from readers interested in my Islamic blogs, and based on world events, I can understand why.
With the USA having spent in the neighborhood of one trillion dollars in the last 10 years fighting wars against Islamic terrorism in Muslim countries;
And, with Palestinians trying to bypass peace negotiations with Israel and force the UN to recognize them as a nation state without even having to agree that Israel has a right to exist;
And, with Islamic rebels having been brought into power in Libya with NATO assistance using their new found powers to slaughter black African Sudanese Christians among other atrocities;
And, with newly empowered and emboldened Muslims in Egypt stepping up the persecution and killing of Coptic Christians in Egypt;
And with Tunisia and other countries coming under Islamic control since Obama came into office;
And, with Islamic jihad bombs regularly exploding around the world in an attempt to force countries to bow to Islamic demands:
And with anti-Semitism on the rise again;
It's not a wonder that people worldwide are interested in Islamic blogs that expose the truth:
Especially when so many of our western political, religious, academic and media talking heads around the world and in the USA are complicit with Muslim leaders in describing Islam as a "Religion of Peace." (They expect us to believe the BIG LIE they are telling us-- simply because they keep repeating it. That tactic worked in Nazi Germany. We had better hope and pray we have learned something from history!)
I'm only one voice but I want to use the freedom of speech we still enjoy to speak the truth which political correctness is trying to deny us.
Contrary to all the reassuring voices abroad in the land today, Islam is not a religion of peace. Rather, it is a tool of the devil. Islam will have no peace with any other belief system, religious or otherwise, because Islam demands submission from all to Allah and his requirements. And since even Muslims differ about what those requirements are, they can't even make peace among themselves-- much less will they ever bring peace to the world. Again, Islam is not a religion of peace.
Islam not only lacks peace, it also lacks the freedom it purports to offer. According to Islam, its followers have been set free from all the requirements of all other religions and the traditions of men. The catch is, all the world must live under the Sharia Law of Allah, and those laws are strictly enforced with all the authority of the government.
Yes, Islam is a tyrannical religious/political system. It favors Muslim males. Its laws are especially hard on women and Non-Muslims (second class citizens who are denied basic human rights and only allowed to live as long as they honor and obey Muslims, and pay the special taxes required of them), but no one is truly safe under such a system. Corrupt officials endanger the lives of all who find themselves subject to Sharia Law and there is no higher authority to appeal to.
Islam not only lacks peace and freedom, it fails to place a high value on human life. Islam is not grounded in moral teachings from a God who values all human life. Rather, it is a religion that glorifies death! Its adherents rejoice when "unbelievers" perish. And, they celebrate the death of their own who die killing others. Untold millions have already perished globally in the 1400 years since this bloody, tyrannical system was developed in the desert land of the Hagarites, known today as Saudi Arabia. How many more will be destroyed before the light finally conquers this malignant force of darkness?
Islamic jihadists kill without provocation. They kill randomly and they kill based on the clear teachings of the Qur'an and as the obedient warriors of Allah. They are not Islamic extremists. They are actually Islamic fundamentalists. In fact, following the example of their prophet, they kill without compassion or remorse and even rejoice in the name of their god; before, during and after their deadly attacks.
And, jihadists believe they will be blessed for the murders they commit. Those who die in the act of killing are considered to be martyrs and have been promised they will bypass any suffering in hell and go straight into the arms of 70 virgins prepared especially for them. They also hope to be able to deliver a few close relatives from hell, as well. That is quite an incentive! (Without Jesus to save them, they have no other hope of avoiding suffering.)
What kind of a god makes promises of such base sensual gratification to his followers for laying down their lives to murder unsuspecting innocents who aren't even given an opportunity to repent? It's not a loving God like Yahweh, of the Holy Bible, Who is "not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance!" It sounds more like the being described by Jesus when He said, "Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy." Who but Satan could be behind such a deceptive, destructive religious/political system?
Yes, Satan is the god and father of Islam. He, like a roaring lion, goes about seeking whom he may devour.
The world will have no peace until Jesus Christ, the Jewish Prince of Peace, comes to conquer the destroyer and beat the swords into plowshares as He rules the world in peace from Jerusalem. That's why Satan, working through Islam, hates Israel and seeks to destroy it. But don't worry, Islam's days are numbered and Jesus is coming soon!

The LORD (Jesus) will mediate between peoples and will settle disputes between strong nations far away. They will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer fight against nation, nor train for war anymore. Micah 4:3
I urge all readers of my blog to seek eternal salvation through faith in Jesus Christ alone. He died on the cross of Calvary for the sins of all mankind to set us free from sin's penalty and to give us abundant life now and forever! Please turn to Him. He loves you! Today is the day of salvation!

Awesome review, I love your article.

I wish you would stop passing yourself off as a Christian, because after reading this article I know that there is not one ounce of Christian charity in you. Your words make Christianity sound dirty and give cause to the rise of anti-Christian sentiment in the Islamic world and the world in general. You my dear are a bigot pretending to be Godly. Turn swords into plow shears indeed. If Christianity, or the misrepresentation of it by millions of people like you, were not the blame for so much of the world’s problems, the misinformation that spews from you might even be laughable.
ReplyDeleteArchemdis,
ReplyDeleteIslam is anti-Christian in its very essence. It denies that Jesus is the Son of God. It denies that He died for our sins. It denies His resurrection,which guarantees eternal life to all who put their trust in Him.
My blogs are intended to give Muslims and others an opportunity to learn the truth and find salvation through Jesus Christ while they have the chance.
Thank you for your comment.
Is your blog intended to save the Jewish people as well since they deny that Jesus Christ has come and gone and that no one can enter heaven but by him and if anything he was just a prophet, or is your blogs message directed at Muslims? Does this not put the Jewish race in the same boat as Islam when it come to anti Christian beliefs?
ReplyDeleteMy desire is for all people to be saved. I write my blogs from a Biblical perspective and pray that individuals from all backgrounds who visit my blog will gain a deeper insight into the truth and perhaps begin to read the Bible for themselves.
ReplyDeleteI quote many Old Testament passages which could speak to Jewish people. I talk about Israel's past and future. I talk about Jesus as Savior of all mankind and as the Messiah of the Jews.
The Bible clearly teaches that the Jews will recognize and accept Jesus as their Messiah when He comes again. I talk about that.
The difference between the 3 largest faith groups governs my perspective and my writings to each group, as well as, to unbelievers.
First, Christians believe Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life, and no one can be saved without faith in Jesus. We beleive in sharing our faith but not in forcing it on anyone. So, for Christians I write encouragement blogs and challenges to live righteously.
Next, Jews rejected Jesus first time around and are still awaiting their Savior and are more concerned about preserving their existence than about winning others to their faith. So, I write blogs which acknowledge them as God's chosen people. I defend Israel's right to exist and her right to her land because that is what the Bible teaches. And I hope that in doing so, a Jew may be drawn toward taking another look at the claims of Jesus as their Messiah.
Finally, Muslims are in a different category. Islam opposes the truth shared in the Bible. Islam intends to rule the world. The Koran insists that the world must submit to Allah and Muhammad. The Koran teaches Muslims to force their beliefs on the world. Having started in Arabia, Islam has already conquered the Middle East and much of Africa, Eastern Europe, Asia and the Far East with the sword. They continue to take over countries today through violence. My blogs about Islam are written to educate non-Muslims to the dangers of allowing Islam to dominate more countries; as well as, to appeal to Muslims to examine the teachings of the Koran, against the Bible. Muslims need Jesus as much as everyone else does.
I desire that all people have an opportunity to know the truth so they can be saved. The Bible says, "Faith comes by hearing the Word of God." How can anyone believe if they have not heard? It is the privilege and responsibility of those who have heard and believed to share that "bread of life" with those who have never tasted it. That's what I'm about.
Thank you for your comment.
Cherel, I am starting to like you. I do not agree with you on most things, but you do present your argument well. Sorry for the harsh words I have spoken, I do not hold my tongue, or anger as well as you, but that is no excuse for rudeness, or harsh accusations. Please except my apology, I was wrong to behave in such a manner in your house. Sincerely Archemdis
ReplyDeleteArchemdis,
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading my blogs, for taking the time to comment and for the sincere apology. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts on my blog.
Yes Jesus(PBUH) will be coming not to destroy Islam but to disown chritianity.He will be preaching Islam and will destroy Moshiach.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Anonymous,
DeleteIslam teaches what you say, but how does it make sense?
God inspired over 40 men to write The Holy Bible over a period of 1500 years. It contains scores of prophecies about His Son, Jesus, which have already been and will continue to be fulfilled. And, the same God Who inspired His Word has preserved His Word. It has not been corrupted and replaced.
"Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God's promises to be fulfilled." Romans 15:4 NLT
Why should anyone believe that the Almighty God Who says His Word is eternal would discard the Bible and start over with the Quran which was written in 23 years by one man and doesn't have all the fulfilled prophecies about His Son?
Jesus of Nazareth, the only begotten Son of God, warned us that many would come claiming to be Him but we should not be decieved. His Second Coming will be a worldwide event that none will mistake. He is returning as King of Kings and Lord of Lords to rule this earth in peace for 1000 years before setting up His Eternal Kingdom of Righteousness.
Paul warned: "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!" Gal 1:8-9
Muhammad claimed that he received a new gospel from an angel from heaven. We were warned not to fall for that.
I encourage you to put your trust in the real Jesus. He alone can save you from your sins and He wants to.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16
Thanks for your comment.
Grace and peace to you.
