Muslim reference bump. Thanks.
That kind of “true Allah” is a bottomless pit all right.
There is so much shortsightedness in this world today. Only Christians have the key to release people from this predicament, and they’re today out there pitifully wailing how they are “not allowed” to preach gospel to Muslims. Oh, bull hockey. God is the one who issues the permissions! Now this will mean suffering, but it will be a suffering that God always blesses. Many Muslims will be surprised to be asked why they believe, when they approach. Their faith will not be able to pass the “give a reason for the hope that is within you, with meekness and respect” test that Christianity can. Look them calmly in the eye and say “Is this why you believe? Because you can get very angry doing it? This isn’t what Christ brought to us.”
This seems to boil down to many successful demonic attacks upon that people group.
Curses beget curses. When Abraham was impatient with God and tried to force the appearance of the promised blessed descendant, the consequences were conducive to curses, not to blessings. The later fulfillment of this promise, Isaac, had a name meaning “to laugh.”
It took the appearance of the second Adam to furnish a plausible basis for the redemption of people mired in such a curse. Islam itself didn’t even exist until many centuries into the Christian era. It was one of many wrong roads into which these “wild asses” of people could go.
Christianity is the only thing that can beat out Islam. I will state it flatly. But Christianity has to re-discover a big cross, not just a lot of little trivial ones.
GWB trying to be a "super-imam" would work about as well as Pee Wee Herman declaring himself the supreme authority on Quantum Mechanics.
Bush obviously never even read the Quran, much less the Hadith, when he said "Islam means peace". The word "Islam" does not mean peace, it means submission (to Allah). Failure to understand the most basic fundamental of Islam had Muslims laughing at him.
I HAVE read the Quran, most of the Hadith, and several other Islamic works. The Islamic worldview is fundamentally incompatible with Christianity. It is also fundamentally incompatible with Western Civilization.
Take the use of the word Inshallah ("if Allah so wills it"), which all Muslims are supposed to use when speaking of any future event. Under Islam, NOTHING happens except as a result of Allah deciding that it should happen. If I drop an apple, it only falls because Allah, in this case, decided it should fall. Tomorrow, he may decide it should just hang there. The entire idea of "natural laws" is blasphemy under Islam.
GWB did get a fair start in launching a lot of whoop-butt on Iraq. Muslims squabble so much amongst themselves that they can’t even get a good sized war coordinated. The West could, and did.
I believe the source for the following is First Things, a journal about Judeo-Christian religious matters — but some imams began to wonder if they had betrayed Allah, in the wake of Gulf War II.
That Allah isn’t God. It is an impostor trying to usurp the place of God in people’s lives.
And anyhow, the only real answer to the Blasphemer (Satan) is rebuking him through the actions and words of Christ.
The devil might seem mighty before us, but he is a runt before the real God.
How can you trust a person whose ‘holy writings’ say to kill the infidel and believes that lying to infidels is OK ?
At this time, it’s hard to know for sure what GWB had in mind or why he acted as he did.
I credit GWB and his daddy for my losing my religion, so to speak, and getting me to peak behind the curtain.
As it is now, I am less inclined to believe the “truths” told at that time until the rest of the story comes out, if it ever does.
So much isn’t as it appears...
The bushes are and were owned by the saudis. When the 9/11 report came out Bush had redacted the part about saudi officials helping the hyjackers gets settled in the US till IOman Obama unredacted the info.
Just look at the hand holding and kisses between the Bushes and the King of SA.
That’s why George W Bush said what he did.
Evil counts on the human condition.
It’s hard work keeping the soul aware of the Evil around at all time.
Never, ever trust a Muslim.
“Muslims welcome the questions and discussions”...
And why wouldn’t they? Because...Taquiyya...
Lying to a kafir is not only OK, it’s a duty in Islam...To a Muslim, it’s like teasing a dog that dinner’s ready...
Never befriend or trust, and especially never turn your back on one...Best advice I gave my Marine nephew when he deployed to Asscrackistan...
You are (imho) woefully naive, but certainly free to be so.
I'm selectively inclined to the let God sort 'em out doctrine.
Of course, being 'pro-active' could be read as being applicable to both our denominations ;-)
If you insist on blasphemy to God’s love, I can’t stop you after the unsuccessful appeal otherwise. However I can stand back and let you take the consequences while I don’t.
And anyhow what would you have it that I am “woefully naive” about? God’s promises? I am quite wise there. Satan has fielded nothing yet that Christ could not envelop and overcome. The problem was a Christianity that was ill prepared to do it, having gotten tangled up in all manner of unspiritual stuff. I am not being a Dalai Lama here. I am touting Christ.
Islam hasn’t been easy for any US leader to face. It sent Jimmy Carter into puzzled seclusion. Ronald Reagan beat it back a little, but it still owned Iran. GWB tried to be noble minded towards Islam. The successful approach, if there is to be one, is to uncork gospel in its direction. Not “whoop-ass” in a worldly sense — gospel. Keep an eye on Mike Pence. IMHO.
And yet, a big storm may be coming under Donald Trump which will set Islam seriously back in a war it cannot win, so that the superiority of the world power carrying the gospel may be manifested. Islam would be very foolish to bluff Donald Trump, who would be, at once, “No more Mr. Nice Guy. This means war!” If Mike Pence is to play the Christ role, Donald Trump may play the John The Baptist role.
I look for classic bible patterns.
If you lost religion, maybe the religion you had wasn’t big enough (founded on the suitable One with all His awesome powers) to be worth keeping.
Anyhow, if God calls you back into the sorting out process, should you refuse?
Island’s believers may be due a great punishment from history. One that makes the Crusades seem small. But God never punishes forever unless He absolutely must.
Be ready for a gospel mop-up.
Augh! Islam’s. Not Island’s. Silly spell correct.
I see President Donald J. Trump as our times’ Reagan, so I tend to fear Mike Pence as being the next Bush character in waiting and bringing with him the new and improved generation of the Uniparty.
This is a long term war, so we’ll just have to wait and see. I think “they” believe they can contain and control Trump for as long as he’s there. But, again, we’ll just have to wait and see.
Everything I’ve seen since 9/11 tells me that Salman Rushdie had islam figured out and titled his book accordingly, thus earning the wrath of islam.
To me, the next big world event will be either be the fulfillment of Garabandal or Israel / the Jews finally recognizing and accepting Jesus as Jesus.
