Reading the Jewish World Review today, Christians better wake-up as Hamas is bringing back the "crucifixion" of Christians. Hamas want to kill Christians by nailing them to crosses and call Jesus Christ the "slave of Allah" Hamas and other Islamists have Christians on the "hit" list.
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com Both Iran and its Hamas proxy in Gaza have been busy this Christmas week showing Christendom just what they think of it. But no one seemed to have noticed. On Tuesday Hamas legislators marked the Christmas season by passing a Sharia criminal code for the Palestinian Authority. Among other things, the code legalizes crucifixion.
Hamas's endorsement of nailing enemies of Islam to crosses came at the same time as it renewed its jihad. Here too, Hamas wanted to make sure that Christians didn't neglected as its fighters launched missiles at Jewish day care centers and schools. So on Wednesday Hamas lobbed a mortar at Erez crossing point into Israel just as a group of Gazan Christians were standing on line waiting to travel to Bethlehem for Christmas.
While Hamas joyously renewed its jihad against Jews and Christians, its overlords in Iran also basked in jihadist triumphalism. The source of Iran's sense of ascendancy this week was Britain's state-owned Channel 4 network's decision to request that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad give a special Christmas Day address to the British people. Ahmadinejad's speech was supposed to be a response to Queen Elizabeth II's traditional Christmas Day address to her subjects. That is, Channel 4 presented his message as a reasonable counterpoint to the Christmas greetings of the head of the Church of England.
Channel 4 justified its move by proclaiming that it was providing a public service. As a Channel 4 spokesman told the Jerusalem Post, "We're offering [Ahmadinejad] the chance to speak for himself, which people in the West don't often get the chance to see."
“Take just even the quickest of looks at the characteristics ascribed to “allah” and the God of Abraham and tell me what you find similar about them other than the muslim claim that they are one & the same?”
Its a name, dogger; an Arabic word which in English is “God”. If you want to get into the theology of the Mohammedan concept of God vs. that of Jews, or Reformed Christians or Orthodox Christians, that’s quite another matter. For example, from what I have read here on FR from some professing to be Reformed Christians, God looks to be a wrathful monster whose rage at humanity could only be slaked by the bloody butchering of His innocent Son and really not slaked so much because most of humanity was created by this God for torment here and later eternal damnation. As an Orthodox Christian, I could say that I don’t worship that God but the truth of the matter is that I do worship God, or Allah, or le Dieu. What I do not accept is Reformed theology about God.
I didn’t say that at all. I said that the word allah means God. A lot of people believe in god but not everyone believes in the true GOD (the God of Abraham).
why are you trying to pick a fight over the translated meaning of a word?
Not trying to pick a fight at all.
The distinction between “allah” and the God of Abraham is an important one. They are not one and the same.
Just like “Baal” and “Elohim” might be translated similarly but mean very different things.
Good thing for us, the real Church is the Kingdom of G-d and not only of this temporal place. But, won't be nice for the citizens of Rome - the next Ground Zero?
;~)
Won’t be nice for ANY non-Muslims. These people are fiends from hell out to destroy civilization. The only thing htye want from us, like the aliens in “Independance Day,” is for us to die.
The sooner we recognize that and take appropriate steps against them, the better.
