Subject: Islam the religion that hates Christians |
Bible Note: I don't think anyone was suggestting that political activity is an answer to a spiritual problem. The religion of Islam declares itself to be against Christianity. It repeatedly calls for the conversion of Christians and if Christians fail to convert they are to be beheaded. Islam is a spiritual adversary of Christianity and as a spritiual adversary the only effective way to combat that is through prayer. James 5:16 (NASB) 16 ... The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. The church in attempt to show Christian love often down plays their opponents real motives until prohibitions against Christianity are in place and then it is too late. Islam is also more than a religion it is a social/political/economic structure. As such Islam wants to enslave the world under it's LAW. Islam wants the world to live under Sharia LAW which opposes much of the freedom we enjoy here in America. To that aspect of Islam yes political opposition is our recourse. Again is must be bathed with prayer. The mistake is to try to make Islam our friends. The Koran clearly states a follower of Mohammed can not be a friend of a non believer of Islam. So we only fool ourselves when we try to make them something their religion tells them they can not be. We are to show them Christian love, a love that shares Jesus with them. Not a love that tries to get into bed with them. |
