I see a man lacking in the bread of the word, most of us began that way, Luke 12:47 relates from the very mouth of our Lord the difference between what happens to a servant that knowingly refuses to do his masters will, and a servant that does so through ignorance. We are also told that those that would be leaders of men are held more responsible and to a higher standard when they represent God than those that do not believe.
I posted before President Bush made his stem cell decision that I feared for the near future of our nation if he made the wrong one, because he claims that Holy name and when one claims that Holy name much is required of him. When I awoke to 9-11 my unhappy thought was that I hoped that the Presidents decision had not come home to roost. Not being a prophet I just don't know if they are connected, I only know that for me it's very troubling to suspect that they might be.
So for this author to say that the punishment, that results from God removing His protection, is coming for the Muslim anti-Christ ritual held at the White House, does not cause me to toss it off out of hand as impossible. After all why should God bless us when we ask Him to protect us from our enemies, but wait in the back room so as not to embarass us, or make our heathern citizens, and those, like the Muslims, that are anti-Christ and worship a strange god, uncomfortable, while we celebrate their rituals.
If I could, I would admonish our President with the scripture, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but it's end is destruction".
It has always been a source of amazement for me that immediately after the events of 9/11, Muslims have come and defended the mass murders because the US helps Israel.
Lets see who else the US helps. Kuwait, Afghanistan and every other muslim nation that accepts aid. Does Israel use that as an excuse to hate America? Does Israel hijack planes and murder thousands en masse because America helps its sworn enemy? I think not.
Lets face it, these people want to kill Israeli's and view the US as a stumbling block which stops the muslims from doing so.
What, God has a newsletter now? The Seraphim got a website? I knew this home publishing revolution had reached some distant quarters, but the Cerulean Heights?
Koran 19:88 "Those who say the Lord of mercy has begotten a Son preach a monstrous falsehood, at which the very heavens might crack, the earth break asunder, and the mountains crumble to dust. That they should ascribe a Son to the merciful, when it did not become Him to beget one."Would the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob say such a thing? If so then there is no salvation in Jesus "Yeshua" the Holy One. I serve a God who would never lie, or who would never say such a thing as we just read in the Islamic Koran.
Agreed!
It is about 99% accurate. The Greek NT word literally means "toss up the nose", --that is put one's nose in the air--, mock, or deride.
