"You Christians worship a God-man."
Yes. That's literally the Gospel. As a Muslim, I used to think that was the ultimate criticism.
Now I think it's the most beautiful truth I've ever heard. Because Christianity doesn't teach that God stayed distant.
It teaches that God came near. The One who created galaxies stepped into His own creation.
Not to show off or dominate. Not to sit on a throne demanding more from us.
But to suffer for us, to walk among us. To carry our grief, and bleed for us. To die for us. And to rise again.
What finally changed my perspective was realizing that "Son of God" never meant God had a biological child.
In the Jewish world, it meant sharing the same nature.
The claim wasn't that God had a baby. The claim was that God revealed Himself. And honestly, that's where Islam lost me.
Because I spent years believing God would never humble Himself enough to enter His creation. Then I realized that's exactly what makes Him glorious.
Not that He stayed far away. That He came close.
Close enough to touch lepers. Close enough to weep. Close enough to suffer. Close enough to die. So yes, Christians worship the God-man. Because no mere man could save us.
And a god who remains forever distant cannot show us the depth of divine love.
But Jesus did. Fully God, fully man and fully enough.
WHAT WE GIVE ISRAEL
The standard US military aid package is $3.8 billion per year $3.3 billion in Foreign Military Financing plus $500 million for joint missile defense programs. Israel must spend most of this on US-made products and services, and by 2028 essentially all of it must be spent in America.
WHAT ISRAEL GIVES BACK
1. F-35 R&D Savings: 55 billion
Israel resolved multiple technical issues during the F-35âs early development, reducing US R&D costs by an estimated $55 billion and accelerating deployment timelines. ïżŒ The total F-35 program cost was $55 billion in R&D Israelâs combat testing effectively saved the US from having to discover and fix those problems on their own dime.
2. Intelligence Value: equivalent to 5 CIAs (75 billion/year)
General George Keegan, former Chief of US Air Force Intelligence, stated that Israelâs intel value equals â5 CIAsâ providing a 400% return on investment on the $3.8 billion aid package. One CIA budget runs approximately $15 billion. ïżŒ Five times that equals roughly $75 billion worth of intelligence annually for $3.8 billion in aid.
3. Strategic Base Value: $15â20 billion/year
As stated by Admiral Elmo Zumwalt and General Alexander Haig, Israel is the largest US aircraft carrier that does not require US military personnel on board, cannot be sunk, and is deployed in a critical region sparing the US the need to manufacture, deploy, and maintain real aircraft carriers with ground divisions, which would cost the US $15â20 billion annually. ïżŒ
4. F-35 Export Multiplier: $40 billion in sales, $173 billion backlog
Israelâs battle-tested performance and upgrades to the F-35 contribute to $40 billion in US exports and a $173 billion backlog for US industry. ïżŒ Israel essentially serves as the worldâs most credible advertisement for American weapons.
5. Jobs and Economic Output: 255,000 jobs, $72 billion annually
The F-35 economic engine alone supports 290,000 US employees and $72 billion in annual economic output. ïżŒ Israeli stakeholders hold contracts with over 1,000 American companies across 48 states, DC, and Puerto Rico.
Why do people need to lie about this?
Because they have nefarious reasons.
Thereâs no other reason to lie about this stuff.
I've never asked people to share a Live Free episode before.
I would ask you to share this episode we did on @jamestalarico (that's pushing ~700k views across all platforms).
What he's doing requires a level of theological awareness to understand, which is why he's deceptive to a lot of Christians.
In Auschwitz, my mother taught me three rules.
Not stories. Not prayers. Rules. The kind that kept you alive.
Rule one: Never make eye contact with a guard.
Rule two: Never show that you are sick.
Rule three: Never, ever, lose your bowl.
I was five years old. I memorized them the way other children memorize nursery rhymes.
The bowl was a small tin thing. Dented. Scratched. It held whatever thin soup they gave us once a day. If you lost your bowl, you had no bowl. If you had no bowl, you had no ration. If you had no ration, you understand.
I guarded that bowl with everything I had. I slept with it. I held it against my chest during roll call. I knew where it was every second of every day.
Then one morning, I fell into the latrine.
There is no delicate way to say this. The latrines in Auschwitz were wooden boards with holes cut into them over a pit. The holes were large. I was very small. I was in a hurry. I slipped.
I went in up to my neck.
The smell. The cold. The rats. I do not need to describe it. Your mind already knows.
My mother tried to pull me out. She could not. I was slippery and she had no strength. None of us had strength. We had not eaten properly in months. She called out. Other women came. Together they pulled me free. Someone found a hose. They sprayed me down in the cold air while I stood there shaking.
I did not cry. Rule number one in Auschwitz was the same rule everywhere, do not attract attention.
But I got sick. Very sick. The kind of sick that comes from rats and filth and cold water and a body that has nothing left to fight with.
And I remembered Rule Two, never show that you are sick.
I hid it from everyone. From the guards. From the other children. Even from my mother, because I knew if she knew, she would do something. And doing something in Auschwitz got you killed.
But someone saw. I do not know who. I do not know why they helped me instead of reporting me. I never knew.
They took me to a room, a makeshift hospital. I lay in a bed, a real bed, not a wooden bunk, for the first time since we had arrived.
I do not remember much of what happened next. The fever blurred everything. Days passed like smoke.
When I came out, I still had my bowl.
I had held it even in the latrine. Even in the fever. Even in the dark when I did not know where I was or what day it was.
My mother looked at me when I came back. She looked at the bowl. She did not say anything. She just nodded, the way she nodded when something had gone the way it needed to go.
People ask me what survival looks like.
I tell them, sometimes it looks like a five year old girl climbing out of a latrine in a death camp, covered in filth, shaking with cold, still holding her tin bowl.
Because she knew that the bowl was the difference between eating and not eating. Between living and not.
Because her mother had told her. And she had listened.
I am Tova Friedman. I fell into a latrine in Auschwitz at five years old.
I came out still holding my bowl.
Tova.

Godâs word will never change.
The reality is, those of us who know the Bible have been waiting for this time to arrive.
These are no little green men coming to visit us but according to the Bible these are deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons propagated by a satanic power.
Thatâs why theyâre able to defy natural our natural laws of science. These beings are spirit entities, and according to the Bible, theyâre will be able to deceive by manifesting themselves physically.
Youâve had your entire lifetime to get to know your Bible. Donât wait another minute.
Itâs not that we have a mental health crisis - though that doesnât help - itâs that we have a soul-level sickness eating away at a sizable percentage of our population. We have a problem of evil. We donât need fewer guns or more therapy; we need an exorcism, an awakening, which can only happen through Christ.
In the meantime, it should be priority number 1 for the Trump admin to find every radical, pro-violence activist cell and shut them down without mercy.
We are at our current locations for the Rapture of the church. For some this is in bed, for others at school and for others on a plane. Suddenly we are called, For the Lord Himself will sound with a shout, with the voice ( Same voice in Revelation 4:1) of the archangel, and with the sound of a trumpet.
Do "Muslims love Jesus" too? Let's talk about it.
Do not put up with ANYONE who redefines Jesus Christ. The only one who gets to define Jesus is Jesus. đŻ
God has already determined that nations will be judged based on how they treat Israel. As the world moves closer to the Tribulation, hostility toward the Jewish people will intensify, and the removal of the restrainer will unleash unprecedented evil.

đš WOW. Border Czar Tom Homan just gave the PERFECT response to Pope Leo
"I'm a lifelong Catholic. I wish they'd STAY OUT of immigration, they don't know what they're talking about."
"Because if they wore my shoes for 40 years, and talked to a 9-year-old girl that got r*ped multiple times, or stood in the back of a tractor trailer with 19 dead aliens at my feet, including a 5-year-old boy that baked to death, if they understood the atrocities that happened on the open border, I think their opinion would change!"
"And I welcome discussion with any of them, because they don't understand illegal immigration is not a victimless crime."
"Where President Trump had the most secure border in the lifetime of this nation, right now, lives are being saved. He's saving thousands of lives a year because he has a secure border!"
"Human traffickers are out of business, right? The cartels are going bankrupt because of that secure border. I wish they'd understand that."
"Because if they did, I think they'd have a different opinion."
Mic drop.
If youâre wondering whatâs happening with certain âconservative voicesâ that were once trusted, this is what it looks like when God gives people over to a reprobate mind.
Itâs not a political shift, itâs a spiritual drift. Because without Christ, even the clearest voices eventually lose their way.
It was never about their platform, it was about their foundation or lack thereof.
âAnd even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mindâŠâ (Romans 1:28)
Iâm going to say something that some people in the MAGA movement and Republican circles are not going to like.
You can support President Trump and still question things - thatâs fine.
But some of the opposition to Operation Epic Fury is completely missing the bigger picture.
I keep hearing:
âNo more wars.â
âFocus only on America.â
âNot our problem.â
That sounds good emotionally, but geopolitics does not work like that.
If Iran gets nuclear weapons, this is no longer a Middle East problem.
That becomes a global power problem overnight.
Shipping lanes, oil, the Strait of Hormuz, global energy prices, terrorism, regional nuclear arms race - all of that hits the United States economically and strategically whether people like it or not.
Then thereâs something most people donât even think about: the Petro Dollar.
If the U.S. loses control of global oil trade influence and the dollar stops being the worldâs reserve currency tied to energy markets, America doesnât just have a foreign policy problem - you now have an economic survival problem.
Inflation, debt, interest rates, cost of living - everything changes.
Some people are acting like President Trump just woke up and wanted a war.
Presidents donât approve major military operations for fun.
They do it because they believe the long-term threat is bigger than the short-term political damage.
You donât have to like war. Nobody should.
But pretending the world is not dangerous and that America can just ignore nuclear ambitions, global trade routes, and energy markets is not how superpowers survive.
Sometimes the decision isnât between war and peace.
Sometimes the decision is between acting now or dealing with something much worse later.
You're an American, act and talk like one who understands this important aspect of your country's survival as a super power or become like the UK.
Let me show you how this works:
Itâs Friday morning. Youâre in America. Coffee in hand. Half-awake. Scrolling.
A headline hits you:
âAmerica/Israel bombs residential building, 20 civilians killed, including 5 children.â
(These numbers are imaginary)
Your stomach drops. You glance at your kid. Or think about your nieces and nephews. Now youâre not just reading anymore, youâre feeling anger, rage, disgust.
By the time you get to work, the story has already settled in your mind as truth. At lunch, you bring it up. Your coworkers nod. Of course they do. Why wouldnât they? It sounds real.
Now five more people carry that same anger.
They go home. They repeat it.
To friends. To family. Online.
Just like that, one headline becomes thousands of convictions.
But here is what never made it into that headline what you did not see, what no one bothered to check:
It wasnât America. It wasnât Israel.
It was a failed missile fired by the IRGC that fell on its own people.
And by the time the truth shows up, if it ever does, the damage is already done.
This is what an information war looks like in real time.
When you're a war fighter in the United States military, most of the time you start very young.
18, 19, 20 years old. You haven't seen the world yet. You haven't seen politics. You haven't seen war. You haven't seen how ugly humans can be to each other.
Then people ask: Why do young Americans join the military?
The most common reasons are actually very simple:
Patriotism â they genuinely love their country
Education â GI Bill, college, training
Opportunity â travel, career, stability
Family tradition â father, mother, grandfather served
Discipline and purpose â structure and direction
Financial stability â steady pay, benefits
To be part of something bigger than themselves
Very few 18-year-olds are thinking about geopolitics, oil routes, trade lanes, NATO alliances, deterrence strategy, or global power balance. They just sign up to serve.
Then they deploy.
They see things no human being should see.
They lose friends.
They operate in places most Americans canât find on a map.
They come home if theyâre lucky â and many come home different people.
And then the questions start:
Why are we fighting all these wars?
Why are we spending so much money overseas?
Why are Americans dying in countries most Americans donât know about?
Is it worth it?
If that veteran starts reading history, geopolitics, military strategy, economics, world wars, Cold War strategy, trade routes, global power competition â they sometimes begin to understand why America is involved everywhere.
Not because war is good.
But because power vacuums are worse.
However, if instead they only listen to certain political voices, media narratives, or one-sided explanations, they can form a worldview based only on their deployment experience, not the full global picture. Their view of the world becomes frozen in time â the year they deployed, the war they fought, the friends they lost.
Then they go home.
They build a life.
They raise kids.
And they pass that worldview to their children.
Now look at the military families.
Wives raising kids alone during deployments.
Parents waiting for phone calls.
Families seeing their son or daughter come home changed.
Birthdays missed.
Funerals attended.
Marriages strained.
PTSD, injuries, memories that never leave.
War doesnât just affect the soldier.
It affects entire families for generations.
Now hereâs the uncomfortable truth:
War is never good. Nobody sane wants war.
But saying you want a world without war is like saying you want a world without crime, greed, power, religion, resources, borders, or ideology.
In other words, youâre saying you want a different humanity.
Civilization itself has always been protected by people willing to fight for it.
No military = no deterrence.
No deterrence = power vacuum.
Power vacuum = someone else takes control.
And history shows that the people who take control are usually not the nice ones.
So the bottom line is this:
In America, you sign up voluntarily. Not by force.
You choose to serve.
You choose to fight.
You choose to defend something you believe in.
You may grow older and question the wars, the politics, the decisions.
You may even become a voice trying to change the system.
But to completely eliminate war, conflict, and power strugglesâŠ
You wouldnât just have to change governments.
You would have to change human nature itself.
Iran is firing missiles that break apart mid-air and scatter smaller explosives across wide areas. These are indiscriminate weapons aimed at civilian zones.
If Israel were doing this, the screaches of outrage would be deafening. But it doesnât even make the news outside Israel.
What does the Bible really mean when it says âto the Jew firstâ? Israelâs repeated failures never canceled Godâs faithfulness. His plan has always included both Jews and Gentiles.
