THIS.... is eventually going to boil down to the most basic issue - -
The purveyors of the Islam will stand on one side, and the believers in One True God will stand on the other. At some point in the mutually exclusive propositions of contending expressions of faith -- there will be no room for neutrality.
In the history of ancient Babylon there was an exiled Hebrew son by the name of Daniel. One night God put a dream into the mind of the king of Babylon --- the king could not understand the symbology of the dream.
All the astrologers and soothsayers feared for their lives beacuse they could not interpret the dream on pain of death.
God gave Daniel the same vision of the dream--which validated the interpretation in the mind of the king...
Then Daniel uttered an extraordinary prophecy through the interpretative explanation... that the kingdom of Babylon would endure for a long time... but would eventually fall because the "feet" of the statue were not soundly made...
The gold and precious metals that gilded the upward and outward appearance of this kingdom were only supported by feet of "pig iron" a weakened alloy of iron and earth.
The most specific words of Daniel's foretelling were:
“In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever. Daniel 2
It is my humble opinion -- The feet of historical Islam are already beginning to crack... the ludicrous displays of the cartoon controversy reveal much of the vulnerability of this non-thinking, emotion-driven poor substitute for the knowledge of God.
The Islamic "scriptures" cannot stand the scrutiny of historically applied bibliographical sciences or critical analysis of textual transmission through the centuries.
Plato, Socrates, etc... all "passed" these tests, as did and Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, and DANIEL--
Therefore we read these ancient texts with veracity...
These ancient literary offerings remain teachable and believeable because they were handed down carefully, and verified with the oldest originals...
The Islamic book... and the multiple layers of commentary that forge most of CONFLICTED modern Islamic teachings... (Sunni, Sufi, Shia) cannot stand under the light of truth and the simplest historical processes of literary analysis.
Soooo this begs a simple question...
Do the proclaimers of Biblical faith -- Old Testament and New Testament -- the natural tribes and the spiritual tribes of Israel -- Do we have the courage to step up and shine the extraorinday light of God's Truth brightly on this artifical belief system that only endures through fear, intimidation, murder, brainwashed wahhabist tradition and the "dhimmitude" phenomenon.
If the weak-footed statue falls -- I wonder what opportunities might present for the hearts and minds of the Arabic tribes... whom One True God also loves??
Just food for thought....
Thanks for reading...
