British Government Calls Christianity a Religion of Violence in Rejection of Iranian Asylum Seeker
Acts 17 Apologetics ^ | 3/25/19 | David wood

Posted on 03/25/2019 8:41:43 AM PDT by OddLane

In 2016, an Iranian ex-Muslim sent an application to Great Britain for asylum. The man said that he had converted to Christianity after studying the Bible and finding that Christianity is a religion of peace. The British Home Office rejected the application and insisted that the apostate was lying.

The Home Office justified their rejection by quoting Bible verses from Exodus, Leviticus, and Revelation that were meant to prove that Christianity is not peaceful and that no one could ever conclude that it is peaceful by reading the Bible. Is there a problem in the British Government? Should Prime Minister Theresa May and Home Secretary Sajid Javid intervene? David Wood discusses the issue.

Britain. A nation that once spread the Gospel around the world.
Ichabod. The glory has departed.

John Quincy Adams had a different view

“In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus” (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).

The UK has chosen to replace Christianity with the death cult. It was a Christianity in name only.

In its place is coming a repressive, violent totalitarian system. How long before the Cross of St George is stripped from the flag of the UK?

This is part of the list of killings in the name of Islam maintained by TheReligionofPeace.com.

Most of these incidents are terror attacks. A handful are honor killings or Sharia executions.

During this time period, there were 127 Islamic attacks in 21 countries, in which 775 people were killed and 845 injured.

The Crosses of St. George, St. Andrew, and St. Patrick will be replaced with the crescent and star.

Never seen this much mass suicide on a national scale before. Normally nations fight for their very existence and even when conquered maintain their identity; Vietnam was occupied by the Chinese for a thousand years before throwing off the Han yoke.

Poland ceased to exist as a country for more than a century before reemerging in 1920.

But U.K., Germany, & France are being led by their own governments into Muslim dominated slavery. Oh, and New Zealand, too.

“Sajid Javid, Home Secretary .... just a regular Englishman.”

Would he be of the Sheffield branch of the Javid family or is that the Brighton branch of the family? You know, that Brighton lot was always nothing but trouble.

Looks like somebody in Britain is just trying to save their bacon as Islam makes gains there. They may or may not live long enough to regret this decision.

Sad day for England—I predict a backlash in ten years. Muslims will be not the favored class and the skys will be black with the smoke of burning mosques.
