@beholdisrael Or the rapture could render the USA irrelevant. Not saying we are a Christian nation any longer, but I think if you remove 24-30 million people (maybe that is a little low) that would make a massive impact on our global standing.
@TexasRepublic71 Whaddya think? Our "leaders" are taking Pakistani and Saudi money and trying to pretend to the voters they are against all this onslaught.
When I was Muslim, the Incarnation was the most offensive doctrine in Christianity to me. God, becoming a man? Degrading. I mocked it.
Then a widow from Moab explained it to me.
Ruth. Foreigner. Broke. No future. And an old law the Quran never carried: the kinsman-redeemer. If you fell into ruin, a relative could buy you out of it and bring you into his family. Ruth 4.
But the redeemer had to qualify. Three conditions:
ABLE to pay.
WILLING to pay.
And RELATED. Family. No outsiders allowed.
Boaz was all three, and Ruth the foreigner ended up in the family line of King David, and of Jesus Himself. Matthew 1:5.
Now run my rescue through those three conditions.
Able to pay for my sin? Only God.
Willing? Only love.
RELATED? Then God… has to become… one of us.
A God who stays in heaven can pity me. Only a God who becomes my RELATIVE can buy me back.
It’s as if He made the law and decided to play by it Himself.
“Since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise partook of the same things.” Hebrews 2:14.
The doctrine I mocked was the mechanism of my rescue.
He became my brother to become my Redeemer. And He paid in full.
The Muslim religion is the fastest-growing religion per capita in the United States, especially among minority races.
Last month I attended a training. During the training session, three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Muslim faiths each presented their beliefs.
I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Muslim gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video.
After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers. When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Muslim and asked:
'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?'
There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation, he replied, “Nonbelievers"
I responded, 'So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'
The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.'
He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'
I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine the Pope commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same to guarantee them a place in heaven!'
The Muslim was speechless.
I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me! Let me ask you a question:
Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me for you to go to heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me?'
You could have heard a pin drop.
Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and exposing the truth about the Muslims' beliefs.
In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the US to elect the President.
I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized unless each of us sends it on! This is your chance to make a difference.
@DefiantLs No, no one from the former Clinton, Obama, Biden administrations and or their connected deep state (NGOs) will ever be held accountable. These hearings were all for show, really, b/c they are all on the same team pretty much.
@megbasham Hold those who committed crimes accountable. Covid, Russia-gate, Biden auto pen. None of this has happened. Election integrity- TBD, GOP senate fighting that. Our “leaders” are not America First.
@DschlopesIsBack In the US, our best athletes do not play soccer. Until MLS draws 70K fans at all the stadiums and pays their players millions of dollars like they do in Europe, then they will play American football, basketball and baseball.
