Islam, the religion of peace, and Terrorism '"Truthfully your condeming of our faith would probably have you warned, and if you persisted, would have consequences, of which i am not sure. But there have been cases where people have been put to death for MALICIOUSLY harming the image of our noble master Muhammad, the best creation of God. But you fail to see that islam means peace, just as when we meet each other and say 'assalamu alaikum' 'peace be upon you' to our brothers. We are a tolerant religion, and our communities have and still have many faiths still practicing their own religions in islamic land. From the time of the prophet up until today." ' The preceding quote was received via e-mail from a Muslim. Notice that he says Islam is a religion of peace, yet that there would be "consequences" for me in my condemnation of Islam. He then mentions how people have been killed for harming the image of Mohammed. Quite frankly, Mohammed damages his own image when he marries multiple women, advocates lying, and spreads his religion by the sword. (...) 'As you can see, the Qur'an definitely teaches that it's people are to fight for the cause of Islam. This list of verses is important because they are within the holy book of Islam. What are we to conclude if a Muslim were to take the Quran seriously? Is he not obligated to slay non-Muslims, to go to war, to kill those against Islam, etc.? Isn't this what the verses are teaching? Yes, they are and this is the source of Islamic Terrorism. (...) ' Do Muslims practice the Qur'an principle of killing non Muslims? Yes they do. Following is a list of some articles that you can read a demonstrate some of the actions taken by Moslems in different parts of the world. 'Muslims torture Christian to death 'Muslims slaughter 600 Christians 'Killing Christians and burn down churches 'Muslims slaughtering Christians in the Sudan 'Islam killing Christians 'Killing Infidels 'Killing by beheading is Islamic ' Since Islam teaches that the entire world is to be subjected to its laws, we need to prepare ourselves to withstand the future attacks motivated from the Quran that teaches killing in subjection of the unbelievers. We Christians need to be in prayer for the Muslims so that they would come to know the truth of who Jesus is and follow his peaceful ways, instead of promoting Islam by the sword.' ____________________ www.carm.org/islam/terrorism.htm islam |

Mohammed - Terrorist or Prophet? ____________________ Christians and Jewish martyrs say; "I will die for what I believe". A Muslim martyr says; "you will die for what I believe".... ____________________ 'We apologize to anyone who may be offended by the history of the founder of Islam (Mohammed) below. And we are aware of the sensitivities involved. However, infinitely more damage has been done to Islam's "believers" by Islam's history of withholding the truth about its founder to them -- - and the circumstances surrounding its inception -- than any "damage" this true history below can cause. 'This article is intended to warn Christians who may be "duped" into Islam, because they did not have all the facts. The immortal souls of billions of individuals are involved here. To good Muslims I say; "I have sympathy with your having to grow up in a closed society -- where not embracing Islam would have gotten you shunned or even killed". According to many interpretations of the Qur'an (aka: Koran), conversion to a faith other than Islam is punishable by death. 'The Muslim Qur'an is unique among all the sacred writings in the entire world -- because it alone counsels its followers to make war on unbelievers. 'Read the true history of Islam below and then look into your own heart to see if you are missing something, or if you have been lied to regarding Islam itself...'

'Contradictions in the Qur'an ' The Qur'an states that it is a perfect book preserved on tablets in heaven (Surah 85:21-22). If the Qur'an is a perfect book from Allah, then there shouldn't be any contradictions in it. Of course, the Muslims will deny any contradictions exist in the Qur'an, but they do. Some of the contradictions below could be debated, but some of them are clearly contradictions. ' A contradiction occurs when one statement on a subject excludes the possibility of another. The first one here is a good example. In Surah 19:67, it states that man was created out of nothing. In 15:26, man is created from clay. Since clay is something, we have a contradiction since "nothing" excludes the possibility of "clay." Both cannot be true. ' All quotes from the Qur'an, unless otherwise specified, are from Yusuf Ali and can be found at the Qur'an online. '1. What was man created from, blood, clay, dust, or nothing? '"Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood," (96:2). '"We created man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape, (15:26). '"The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was," (3:59). '"But does not man call to mind that We created him before out of nothing?" (19:67, Yusuf Ali). Also, 52:35). '"He has created man from a sperm-drop; and behold this same (man) becomes an open disputer! (16:4). (...)

More questions for Muslims ' Dear Muslim, I do not post these questions as a "proof" that Islam is false. I do not believe that is possible with a simple list of questions. Nevertheless, they are here to encourage discussion that the truth may be known. 'The Qur'an states that you shall marry only up to four women: "If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with orphans, marry women of your choice, two, or three, or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or that which your right hands possess..." (4:3). 'If the Qur'an is eternal, having been written on the table in heaven, then the four wife limit was an eternal decree. 'Question: Why did Muhammad have 12 wives if the Qur'an says to have only four? Khadija, sawda, Aesah (8 years old), Omm Salama, Hafsa, Zaynab (originally the wife of Muhammad's adopted son), Jowayriya, Omm Habiba, Safiya, Maymuna, Fatima, Hend, Asma (of Saba), Zaynab, Habla, Asma?...'

You write: "I will admit I may disagree with orthodox confessions and theologians. They were not inspired, which leaves the possibility that their interpretation of Scripture is erred at some points. However, I do not think my view of the Bible at present is basically erred." And what? You WERE inspired? ____________________ "It seems odd, that certain men who talk so much of what the Holy Spirit reveals to themselves, should think so little of what he has revealed to others." -- C. H. Spurgeon ____________________ "In order to be able to expound the Scriptures, and as an aid to your pulpit studies, you will need to be familiar with the commentators: a glorious army, let me tell you, whose acquaintance will be your delight and profit. Of course, you are not such wiseacres as to think or say that you can expound Scripture without assistance from the works of divines and learned men who have labored before you in the field of exposition. If you are of that opinion, pray remain so, for you are not worth the trouble of conversion, and like a little coterie who think with you, would resent the attempt as an insult to your infallibility. It seems odd, that certain men who talk so much of what the Holy Spirit reveals to themselves, should think so little of what he has revealed to others." -- C. H. Spurgeon |

Born again again? Hebrews 6:4-6 (ESV) FOR IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO RESTORE AGAIN TO REPENTANCE THOSE WHO have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, [5] and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, [6] if they then FALL AWAY, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt. (Emphasis added.) 'For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who have (done all these things in Heb. 6:4-5) and then have fallen away...Those who want to make this verse mean that believers can lose salvation will have to admit that it would then also say that one could never get it back again' (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). '...it is impossible to restore [them] again to repentance..." ' . . . logically v. 4 implies that if salvation were to be lost, it would be impossible for that person to be born again, lose it, and then be born again again. 'This much is clear: whoever openly and consciously rejects Jesus Christ is unregenerate even if he seemed to have been saved ealier... [Whether he had lost his salvation or never had it to begin with,] either way, the result is identical.' (note at Heb. 6:4ff, NRSV Harper Study Bible) |

The Eternal Insecurity Version (EIV) IF one could fall from grace and lose one's salvation, then the following Scriptures would have to read as they do here in order to line up with that "truth". (I added and deleted words to the following verses to demonstrate how they would have to be changed IF it were true that one could lose his salvation. I mean no irreverence or disrespect toward the Bible. I'm not the one who needs to add to or take away from the words of the Bible in order to make it line up with my beliefs.) John 5:24 (KJV) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath NOT everlasting life, and MAY OR MAY NOT come into condemnation; but is passed from LIFE UNTO DEATH. John 10:27-29 (KJV) My sheep CANNOT hear my voice, and I know them NOT, and they MAY OR MAY NOT follow me: [28] And THEY MUST EARN eternal life; and they MAY OR MAY NOT perish, and ANY man is able to pluck them out of my hand. [29] My Father, which gave them me, is NOT greater than MAN; and ANY man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. Philip. 1:6 (KJV) Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you MAY OR MAY NOT perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: 1 Peter 1:4-5 (KJV) To an inheritance CORRUPTIBLE, and DEFILED, and that FADETH AWAY, NOT reserved in heaven for you, [5] Who are NOT kept by the power of God. The above misquotes are absurd, aren't they? But they are no less absurd than the attempts to explain away these verses as they actually appear in the Bible. |

Did you know...? God sits at a desk up in heaven all day with a pencil and a big eraser. Whenever a believer sins, he erases their name. When they confess, he pencils it back in. Sin, erase. Confess, write it down. Isn't this a ludicrous picture? Yet that's what some would have us believe. "The good news is, God's pencil has no eraser. Before you breathed your first word, God knew how you would respond to His offer of grace. According to His foreknowledge, He wrote your name in the book of life." ____________________ (www.intouch.org/myintouch/exploring/ bible_says/eternal_security/erase_149096.html) Grace to you, Kalos |

He who overcomes shall thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life. Revelation 3:5 "It is unfortunate that this passage in Revelation has become a focal point of controversy. The result has been a fixation on what the verse does not say rather than what it does say. This verse was never intended as a warning. Within its context there is nothing negative or foreboding about these words. In fact, it makes a strong statement in favor of eternal security. It is a passage of encouragement and praise. "The comments are directed to a group of faithful believers from the church in Sardis. Unlike the majority of the folks in their congregation, this handful of members had remained unsoiled by the world around them. The verse in question contains Christ's commendation to this group for their consistent walk. "To assume from what is said here that God will possibly erase names from the book of life is to read into the text a concept clearly not present. At best, it is an argument from silence, for the verse simply reads, "And I will not erase his name from the book of life." If this statement raises doubts for some about eternal security, they would do well to search the Scriptures for an answer. But to base one's answer to this important question on this verse is to adopt a method of study with the potential of leading to all kinds of problematic conclusions." (...) "The good news is, God's pencil has no eraser. Before you breathed your first word, God knew how you would respond to His offer of grace. According to His foreknowledge, He wrote your name in the book of life. And there it shall remain forever. Jesus said it this way: "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow me; and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand. John 10.27-28 "And as if that were not clear enough: "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. John 10.29 " (To read the entire article, which I suggest you do before you reply, go to: www.intouch.org/myintouch/ exploring/bible_says/ eternal_security/erase_149096.html) |

The next time someone tells you that "one can lose their salvation by taking themselves out of God's hands", just ask them the following: John 10:28-29 In what version of the Bible does John 10:28-29 say: 'And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [29] My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand, BUT WE CAN TAKE OURSELVES OUT OF GOD'S HAND'? If it is true that we can take ourselves out of God's hand, then according to verse 29, we are greater than God. Rom 8:39 In what version of the Bible does Romans 8:39 say: 'nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, BUT WE CAN SEPARATE OURSELVES FROM HIS LOVE'? In verse 39, if man can separate himself from God's love, then man was not created. It says: "nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God." Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall ADD unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: Deut. 4:2 Ye shall not ADD unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

Do Animals Have Souls? 'The Bible does not give any specific teaching on whether animals have “souls” or whether animals will be in heaven. 'However, we can take some general Scriptural principles and shed some light on the subject. The primary difference between human beings and animals is that man is made in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26-27). God breathed the breath of life into man (Genesis 2:7), but not animals. If animals do have a “soul” or immaterial aspect, it must therefore be of a different and lesser "quality." This difference probably means that animal “souls” do not carry on after death.' To read more go to: www.gotquestions.org/pets-heaven.html |
