Jesus Christ Declared That Turkey Is The Seat Of Satan, (truncated)

THE DIRTY LITTLE SECRET THEY NEVER TELL YOU

Ever wonder why at times when you share a clear verse in scripture to most of these virgins they refuse to listen, heed or even pay attention to the verse you are sharing? This is true regardless that the verse is as clear as the sun.

They will always respond with this: that all we need is to follow a handful of instructions. They argue that ignoring the rest of the instructions should not effect ones standing with God. In fact you always notice these virgins when they quote the most common verses we all know like John 3:16. You could argue your verse till you are blue at the face, all that virgin is going to do is give you John 3:16 and tell you that that is all you need to know to be saved.

Really? Lets take one instruction they do not share and lets see what happens. Christ said that Pergamum is the “seat of satan” (Revelation 2:12-13). Yet for centuries these rude virgins turned the lights off this one and taught that Rome was the seat of satan instead of Pergamum.

You might think: what’s the big deal?

As the Catholic Encyclopedia questions:

“The Papal-Antichrist theory was gradually developed by three historical bodies: the Albigenses, the Waldenses, and the Fraticelli, between the eleventh and the sixteenth centuries: are these the expositors from whom the Church of Christ is to receive the true interpretation of the prophecies?”

[Tax-chick]

Jesus Christ in Matthew 25:1-13 stipulates that in order to make it to heaven no Bridegroom should find his virgin napping on her wedding night preferring to have the lights off.

Like, what?

The virgins of this parable are wedding attendants, not brides.

And the relevance to Turkey ...

Anatolia (Turkey in Asia) was occupied in about 1900 B.C. by the Indo-European Hittites and, after the Hittite empire's collapse in 1200 B.C. , by Phrygians and Lydians. The Persian Empire occupied the area in the 6th century B.C. , giving way to the Roman Empire, then later the Byzantine Empire. The Ottoman Turks first appeared in the early 13th century, subjugating Turkish and Mongol bands pressing against the eastern borders of Byzantium and making the Christian Balkan states their vassals. They gradually spread through the Near East and Balkans, capturing Constantinople in 1453 and storming the gates of Vienna two centuries later. At its height, the Ottoman Empire stretched from the Persian Gulf to western Algeria. Lasting for 600 years, the Ottoman Empire was not only one of the most powerful empires in the history of the Mediterranean region, but it generated a great cultural outpouring of Islamic art, architecture, and literature. After the reign of Sultan Süleyman I the Magnificent (1494–1566), the Ottoman Empire began to decline politically, administratively, and economically. By the 18th century, Russia was seeking to establish itself as the protector of Christians in Turkey's Balkan territories. Russian ambitions were checked by Britain and France in the Crimean War (1854–1856), but the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878) gave Bulgaria virtual independence and Romania and Serbia liberation from their nominal allegiance to the sultan. Turkish weakness stimulated a revolt of young liberals known as the Young Turks in 1909. They forced Sultan Abdul Hamid to grant a constitution and install a liberal government. However, reforms were no barrier to further defeats in a war with Italy (1911–1912) and the Balkan Wars (1912–1913). Turkey sided with Germany in World War I, and, as a result, lost territory at the conclusion of the war. Turkey's current boundaries were drawn in 1923 at the Conference of Lausanne, and Turkey became a republic with Kemal Atatürk as the first president. The Ottoman sultanate and caliphate were abolished, and modernization, reform, and industrialization began under Atatürk's direction. He secularized Turkish society, reducing Islam's dominant role and replacing Arabic with the Latin alphabet for writing the Turkish language. After Atatürk's death in 1938, parliamentary government and a multiparty system gradually took root in Turkey, despite periods of instability and brief intervals of military rule. Neutral during most of World War II, Turkey, on Feb. 23, 1945, declared war on Germany and Japan, but it took no active part in the conflict. Turkey became a full member of NATO in 1952, was a signatory in the Balkan Entente (1953), joined the Baghdad Pact (1955; later CENTO), joined the Organization for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC) and the Council of Europe, and became an associate member of the European Common Market in 1963. Turkey invaded Cyprus by sea and air on July 20, 1974, following the failure of diplomatic efforts to resolve conflicts between Turkish and Greek Cypriots. Turkey unilaterally announced a cease-fire on Aug. 16, after having gained control of 40% of the island. Turkish Cypriots established their own state in the north on Feb. 13, 1975. In July 1975, after a 30-day warning, Turkey took control of all the U.S. installations except the joint defense base at Incirlik, which it reserved for “NATO tasks alone.” The establishment of military government in Sept. 1980 stopped the slide toward anarchy and brought some improvement in the economy. A constituent assembly, consisting of the six-member national security council and members appointed by them, drafted a new constitution that was approved by an overwhelming (91.5%) majority of the voters in a Nov. 6, 1982, referendum. Martial law was gradually lifted. The military, however, effectively continues to control the country.

When it comes to making it to heaven the two schools in Christendom offer the same exact view with two slightly different takes. While both Catholics and Protestants teach that “believing in Christ” takes one to heaven; the slight difference is that the Catholic school teaches that the word “believe” entails obeying every single instruction Christ commanded.

Which is exactly the problem for the simple reason that there was already a universally-recognized religion from G-d that entailed obedience to G-d's Commandments (or else repentance). Protestantism is at least consistent, rejecting not only the Torah but any legal/ritual/ceremonial system that has allegedly replaced it (G-d forbid!). Catholicism (and Orthodoxy, and, well, all of true historical chrstianity) make chrstianity a totally unnecessary religion which G-d simply (allegedly) started just because He wanted to (and without saying so in the Torah beforehand).

If you want G-d's Commandments, take Judaism or the Noachide Laws. There was absolutely no need for a new (and unauthorized) religion to do the exact same thing as the old one other than to be allegedly "superior" merely because it was post-Biblical.

Re : Post #6

A unique (although twisted) interpretation of scripture. Hmmm...

My husband had a Turkish friend when he was an engineering undergraduate. We had the young man and his mother, visiting from Turkey, over for Thanksgiving when our Billy (who just graduated from college, please call him William) was less than a year old. They were very nice. The mother was missing her grandchildren back in Turkiye and held Billy the whole evening. Fortunately, he was at the age when anyone who picks you up is perfect!

Mustafa Kemal “Ataturk” was one of the out-of-nowhere successes of the 20th century. If Winston Churchill hadn’t pushed the Gallipoli invasion, or if the Royal Navy had done a better job of it, he might have faded back into obscurity, and the Eastern Mediterranean would have gone a different direction.

[PGalt]

Thanks for posting. (I see that this is long...)...BUMP for tomorrow am read.

[SkyPilot]

The author comes across as trying to be cutsey and flippant with Scripture ....he lost me early on.

[Tax-chick]

“Cutesy and flippant,” or just clueless? I’m thinking it’s the latter.

[Bogie]

Anyhow, all we have to do is stop listening to John McCain and start working with Russia to get rid of ISIS.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Yep. Surprised more people don’t catch that.

[Twinkie]

Those who load the WHOLE LAW upon our backs are, I think,
very misguided. IF one breaks just one law, just one - he
is GUILTY OF BREAKING THE WHOLE THING! So, then a person
is loaded down with GUILT so bad they’re AFRAID they’ll
fail to repent for some sin they committed and so live
under constant condemnation.

The LAW is good, I will agree to that; but I would be
flattering myself if I thought I could “keep” the LAW in
my own power. This is what the scribes & Pharisees did;
loaded people down with impossible burdens for their own
power and material gain. $$$$$$$$$$$$ - the love of $$$$$
is the root of ALL evil.

[Tax-chick]

Stipulating that your proposal is one geopolitical possibility, the direct relevance to Turkey is ... like, what?

[Tax-chick]

I have never previously seen this peculiar interpretation of the parable of the wise and foolish virgins. I confess I didn’t read anything further that the author said.
