God Bless the Rev. Gene A. Youngblood

(15)I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! (16)So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
Revelations 3:16-17 NIV

If you're not fired up and willing to be 100% for The Truth, God will spit you out in disgust. I am fortunate to have a Pastor that also believes 100% in the Word in the Bible and will not dilute it to suit societal mores. Praise God!

A previous sign: I'm sorry, but Baptists don't blow God's creation up.

Yeah but yon Baptist minister will be tucking his tail and taking down the sign post haste. This is America. Putting up this sign guarantees him front page exposure as a "Hater" and risks Muslims getting an angry look at the gas station. If the Muslims burn his church to the ground or saw his head off, he'll be lucky if they let him buy a classified ad mentioning it.

Don't get used to the sign.

Imam Zaid Malik, spiritual leader of the Islamic Center of Northeast Florida in Jacksonville, said the sign is based on ignorance about Islam.

On Tuesday, Youngblood said he is willing to defend his views with Malik in a one-on-one, televised debate.

Malik said he's game

Looks like this may turn out to be good. I wonder if it will be televised.

We have a pretty big mosque here as well. I've wondered many times if it's ever been searched. We've read all the articles from Iraq war about weapons being stored in the mosques there. It really makes me wonder!!

9/11 Mastermind & 2 Hijackers Stayed in Jacksonville(also has video report)

There is another related article but I can't find it right now. There have been 2 incidents of "foreigners" fimling tall buildings downtown but they have gotten away.

27 But bring here these enemies of mine, who did not want me to rule over them, and slaughter them in my presence.' "
Luke 19:27
words of Jesus in the parable.

In the end, even God solves the world's problems with a massive bloodshed. Just read the Revelation, and the prophets about the Day of the Lord.
A massive cleansing of the earth of all that offends Him is coming.

I hope I'm wrong too.

However, whenever these kinds of signs have appeared in the past and became national stories, the posters have folded. The pressure must be immense, because I have no reason to doubt the sincerity of the posters.

He should not back down either. Truth is not to be compromised. Remember when Dr. Vines said Mohammed was a pedophile and Islam not the same as Christianity? The Imam has not refuted Dr. Vines or Caner to date.

Very well put. To say "Islam is a false and dangerous belief" is simply teaching. If someone contends that it's not a true statement, the burden is on them to prove it, but even then, it's still a legimitate theological view, and should not be apologized for.

Uh oh, one more thing. Maybe Sen King will try to get the church to take down their sign, he apologized for a prayer being made in Jesus' name.

There have been similar "filming" incidents in this area.

LOL, I don't think so.

This also from the article....

The church displayed a sign in 2003 declaring that "Muhammad approved murder" and Youngblood runs a Web site -- www.truthsthatfree.com -- that portrays what he considers to be the truth about Islam.

On Tuesday, Youngblood said he is willing to defend his views with Malik in a one-on-one, televised debate.

Malik said he's game.

The verse cited on the sign -- Surah 9:29 -- is taken out of context, Malik said.

Ahh the old "taken out of context" line.

I hope they do televise a debate.

Some days I wonder what could delay his coming. I know that it will be His timing but you know it grieves God to see all the children being harmed by adults. Ok I'm going off topic...better stop.

That has precisely what to do with the price of Chinese missile guidance technology?
