Thank you for coming clean. Your honesty is refreshing, albeit rather disgusting.
I was able to watch the speech AND the Q & A session afterwards last night on Cspan. I thought that he did a pretty good job. The Q & A was really good and I got a new tagline out of it.
The Arabic peoples are descendants of Abraham's son, Ishmael. There is a very distinct peophesy regarding his descendants in Genesis 16:12, "And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him: and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren."
Not Condolisa Rice, the State Department, nor the entire might of the US Armed Forces can change that prophesy. The nature of the descendants of Ishmael will remain the same until Abraham's God, in the Person of Jesus Christ, returns to rule from David's Throne.
That does not mean that every single individual descendant of Ishmael will continue the "hand against every man" life-style. Those who come under the restraints of a more ordered society around them, must conform to a degree. And of course, those Arabs (we know some) who come to know the falacy of Islam, and repent toward (Abraham's) God and place their faith in His Son for His Redemption are given a new nature.
The prophesy also does not mean we are looking for any possible excuse to be at war with them...but we shall not have to go looking either. Christians are never instructed to make converts under threat of arms. We are to present the Gospel of Christ to ALL men, Islamists included, and pray for their understanding, their repentance, and their faith in Christ, as the Holy Spirit of God convicts them. As long as the descendants of Ishamael adhere to Islam, they will be against the Jews and against the Christians. Missionaries to Muslim countries have always been at great risk of their life to preach the Cross of Christ to Muslims.
NO diplomacy will change Ishmael's nature. And no constitution suited to a Christian people will be long adhered to by the sons of Ishmael.
I realize you would like to witness the success of President Bush and his objectives in Iraq. So would I. But if you are young enough to live another 50 years, you will die witnessing the ongoing reality of the prophesy of Genesis 16:12.
The only answer for the individual Islamist is repentance from Islam to Christ, and the only answer, ultimately, for the currently Islamist nations (that is, as nations), is the return of the King of Kings...Who will sweep away Islam altogether.
