@TheresaArueyin1 There is a difference between “there is a demon behind it, or it is demonic” and “it has been spiritualized by people”.
Is the simple physical and mental practice unequivocally tied to something spiritual that is not Biblical?
@elonmusk@Jeanie26972865 Yep!
Importing them, sets us up for civil war (internal conflict).
Leaving them, sets us up for a possible (external) war (think Iran).
There is a choice.
I much prefer the latter.
@ShannonMFHill Changing those batteries 2 times a year is overkill anyway.
Just get new smoke detectors, with rechargeable batteries, that last 10 years.
(The current smoke detectors are likely expired anyway.)
You know what wrecked me when I was converting to Christianity?
Jihad is literally the gospel in reverse. Once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it.
The gospel says Christ shed His blood for YOU.
Jihad says you shed your blood for ALLAH.
Jesus lays down His life to save His enemies. Jihad calls you to take the lives of enemies in pursuit of God's favor.
Christianity says the Shepherd dies so the sheep can live. Jihad says the sheep die hoping the Shepherd accepts them.
They are mirrors. One is grace, the other is striving.
One says, "It is finished." The other says, "Do more."
Jesus never asked me to earn God's love with my blood, he proved God's love by shedding His own.
That's why the cross changed everything for me. Jesus didn't come to tell us how to die for God.
He came to die for us so we could truly live. PRAISE GOD! I AM FREE! Now, we need to make all the Muslims Christian.
