Isaiah
29:15
Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and
their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who
knoweth us?
16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as
the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made
me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no
understanding?
17 ¶Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be
turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed
as a forest?
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and
the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the
poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is
consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for
him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of
nought.
22 Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham,
concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither
shall his face now wax pale.
23 But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the
midst of him, they shall
sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
Isaiah 43:1
¶But now thus saith the LORD that
created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for
I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
Isaiah
62:6
¶I have set watchmen upon thy
walls, O
Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that
make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,
7 And give him no rest, till he
establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
Firstly...
My Jewish
bias?
For any muslims who read these pages, and have suspicions, I will
state here, that i am not Jewish, and i have no knowledge of any
Jewish heritage in my family.
Though i am happy to say, i do feel an affection
towards Israel and her
people.
And, that i was a Kibbutz visitor, in my youth,
during the 1970's.
and now...
Late in 2006, engaged in an
email debate with a friend about Middle East
politics, i was searching to find an old [online] news report, that
would
demonstrate my point.
The news report i
was searching for,
was an item that i had read some weeks earlier.
And i did find again the
particular news
report that i was looking for [courtesy of
Google].
But [at that time, growing out of that
particular debate], i decided
to start a personal
archive of information
relating to the many [online]
stories on ISLAM, that i was coming across.
And i decided to
start collating pertinent news reports, opinions, and any other
compelling information relating to abuses, by people claiming to be
muslims, and
claiming to be inspired in their actions by ISLAM.
A few days after i started my archive, my heart seemed to tell me, and
it seemed natural that i should
also, seek to present some of the the
information that i found, to others, through the internet.
Hence the focus of these pages on ISLAM.
Study the problem...
I would suggest that no one
can simply 'read'
the Koran [because of its unstructured format].
But the Koran
can be studied,
along with the Hadith.
I also believe that many 'nominal' muslims
are decent and moral people, but
it also seems [to me] that many of them also,
have an ignorant,
uneducated, and romantic idea of
what ISLAM is.
And i would encourage all who call themselves
'muslims' to open their
Koran's, and i would strongly encourage 'nominal'
muslims to educate themselves about
real
ISLAMIC doctrine.
And, to also seek out, and learn
about the opinions and the experience
of ex-muslims.
If i had to choose between being non-muslim
or being a muslim...
....if i were born, and brought up as a muslim, and if i learnt the
truth
about the wanton
violence and falsehood
of ISLAM, [then, as a rational person] i would personally be ashamed
to present myself to the world as a muslim, and i would choose
to become a muslim apostate, or to change my faith.
....as many former muslims have
already done.
Such a course must be initially, very difficult and lonely - and
dangerous.
Please my
God, bless and keep safe, all muslim apostates, and all people
who are seekers after truth.
This is the problem
we
[non-muslims] face; ....There is a chasm of
credibility, in the 'differences', between muslim and non-muslim
values.
And this chasm of
credibility, is exasperated by blatant
muslim
deceit, in their [own] dealings with non-muslims [within
non-muslims
nations], and their communities.
This following article underscores the
perceptions of those
'differences' - by some.
July
28, 2006
Islamic Dictionary for Infidels
......The resort to force to
disseminate Islam is not war (harb), a word that is used only to describe the use of force by non-Muslims. Islamic wars are not hurub
(the plural of harb) but rather futuhat, acts of
"opening" the world to Islam and expressing Islamic jihad.
Relations between dar al-Islam, the home of peace, and dar al-harb, the
world of unbelievers, nevertheless take place in a state of war,
according to the Qur'an and to the authoritative commentaries of
Islamic jurists. Unbelievers who
stand in the way, creating obstacles for the da'wa, are blamed for this
state of war, for the da'wa can be pursued peacefully if others submit
to it. In other words, those who
resist Islam cause wars and are responsible
for them.
......It's
"oppression" when Muslim immigrants in the West must live by the same,
secular laws as the native infidels, [and] not sharia,
......The Saudi
deputy minister of religious endowments, Abd Al-Rahman Al-Matroudi, stated in
an interview on Saudi TV in July 2005 that "the definition
of terrorism that concerns us is that it is any act or
statement that contradicts the Koran or Sunna, whether in
thought or action." He also said that Muslims should
"impose their culture," and that peaceful ways should be pursued only
when they were not strong enough to do this....
.....Aggression
is something only infidels do.
.....it is not seen as
aggression or war when Muslims attack non-Muslims. On the
contrary, it
is seen as aggression when non-Muslims resist the Islamization of their lands and thus "place obstacles
in the way" of the spread of Islam. They are defying the will of Allah.
Since subjugation to Islam alone can bring peace, Muslims
consider themselves to be "spreading peace"...
......[To the muslim mind,]
Aggression: [Is...]
When
non-Muslims do anything to preserve their culture and resist the
Islamization of their country. Even when this "aggression" is
non-violent, such as publishing a cartoon critical of Islam, this
intolerable insult to Islamic supremacy on earth can be answered with
violence by Muslims. Since a refusal to
submit to sharia is a
rebellion against Allah, the very
existence of non-Muslim communities can be viewed as an act of
aggression.

muslims

I concede that my
views are 'biased'.
I concede that my views are 'biased', and that i am
expressing a partisan point of
view, against ISLAM.
[And i would explain, that
this 'bias' is [i feel] due to
what i have
learned, and come to know about ISLAM!]
How can ISLAM itself [...along with apparently many indifferent individual
muslims!], deny responsibility for the
actions of those influenced by ISLAM's stated philosophy [of
endorsing violence against NON-muslims, who
reject ISLAM] and
the revealed opinions
of [some of] its clerics
[of encouraging violence against those NON-muslims,
who reject ISLAM]?
And i state here; That
that, was
a rhetorical question!
Because I believe i know the answer to the question!
And i agree with the comment at the http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/
site....
.....Islam
will be a peaceful religion when Muslims
stop preaching
hate, stop killing in the name of Allah, and stop remaining
indifferent
to the violence. Until this happens, we will faithfully document
each of the reasons why this is anything but a "Religion of Peace."

The trouble with Islam.
If you could only come to
an opinion about
devout muslims, and
if you could only come
to an opinion about
the
muslim world, by
listening only to what devout
muslims
had to say about themselves, and about ISLAM, you may well come
to the
conclusion
that
almost every muslim
man must be a paragon of virtue, and that ISLAM is
a
perfect system of living, for all mankind.
"The Muslims are required
to raise the banner of Jihad in order to make the Word of Allah supreme
in this world, to remove all
forms of injustice and oppression, and to
defend the Muslims. If Muslims do
not take up the sword, the evil
tyrants of this earth will be able to continue oppressing the weak and
[the] helpless…"
But [in
my
opinion] the evidence in the world
of what ISLAM
is, speaks of
something very,
very,
different.
There has been, a huge chasm between
.....the promises of justice
for all in an
ISLAMIC paradise, and the
reality of how powerful ISLAMIC states [for instance, Saudi Arabia, and
Iran ** ], today,
treat the powerless, the lowly and the societally weak, within their
borders [one
example, there are many, many, more!].
[** Both of
these states became powerful, from
the receipt of oil money.
Not from
the exercising of any supposed 'moral authority'.
Add lots of
money to a theocracy, and W-'Allah',
it seems that you get powerful,
corrupt, 'religious' thugs!!]
And ISLAM has a dark master, Allah!...

shall love me and despair!"

The evidence
of ISLAM in the world,
is the
evidence
of muslim deception,
denial,
and violence,
in their dealings with all 'others',
......again, and again, and again!
You may wish to discount
my
opinion,
and you may wish to discount
my comment,
and
my criticism of ISLAM, and the conclusions i come to, in
these pages.
But, please do not discard the
evidence ....out-of-hand.
Please examine the media reports, the reports by ISLAM's non-muslim critics, and the
criticism
made sometimes by ex-muslims - in these pages.
In my
opinion...
- ISLAM is not a peaceful 'religion'.
- ISLAM is a very dangerous, mind
bending, supremacist, cult, espousing a violent, worldly,
political
philosophy.
- ISLAM is a form of political
Fascism,
masquerading as a religion.
Can 'you' prove this???
There are ONLY two easily
determinable things that non-muslims need to learn, and to come
to understand, ....about ISLAMIC 'culture', and about
devout muslims.
Two
things!
And then an 'understanding', of what ISLAM
really
is
will come.
Two
questions which non-muslims should answer for
themselves...
- What is,
'The Cause of Allah'?
- What
sanction are devout muslims given, from their 'religion', from the Koran, and from their muslim CLERICS,
in their actions, in working
towards their aim,
of 'The Cause
of Allah',
....when dealing with un-ISLAMIC persons who reject and resist the
authority of ISLAM, when ISLAM
seeks, itself, to
come into new
lands for the express
purpose of spreading its creed?

I would encourage you to choose key words, for yourself.
But if you are new to this,
see also,
This next news report explains how,
Devout
muslims are sanctified,
by the Koran, and by muslim clerics to do 'good works'.
Devout muslims believe that it is
OK,
....muslims can 'justly' kill those who resist ISLAM,
....so that good may come.
In fact an Islamic utopia
will come, if you will just kill all of the 'evil', and un-ISLAMIC
people, in the world!

Accusations against

Dealing with,

muslim tactical 'logic',
....Or the unwavering ISLAMIST
'rebuttal', when an ISLAMIST
is presented with clear evidence of irrational
ISLAMIC
'activity'.
I also know that many ISLAMIST's
will
simply [and unwaveringly]
dismiss any
reasonable corroboration of views [NON-muslim views],
about
what ISLAMIST's are doing,
and categorise critical views of ISLAM [even when corroborated] as,
'yet more!!'
anti-ISLAM 'bias' and 'hate'.
There is one thing that i have learned about ISLAMIST's,
and it is this, ISLAMIST's do not care about our
concerns.
And ISLAMIST's demonstrate
this point, in their response to any criticism of ISLAM by
un-ISLAMIC
persons.
[See an example, by someone
[an ISLAMIST]
known as 'riskyguy',
lower on this page.]
Un-ISLAMIC persons
concerns, to ISLAMIST's, are
a BIG zero!
I'll say this again, for
emphasis, ISLAMIST's
do not care about our concerns.
ISLAMIST's [just!]
want to prevail

HERE BELOW, IS ONE EXAMPLE

'INCONVENIENT' AND UNFLATTERING INFORMATION...
On a WEB forum [titled,

made
in a

a lot of

[...which in muslim hands, is almost as powerful as a
'tactical' nuclear weapon when dealing with opponents! :)))) ]
And here, is another example of how muslim tactical 'logic' is
deployed...
How
do muslims respond, to the ongoing efforts by authorities in the West,
to counter 'extremists' within muslim communities [in the West]?
Do muslim leaders
['Foreign ministers of the
Organization of the Islamic Conference'] call for muslims, to
assist Western governments, in rooting out extremist radical muslims in
the
midst of Western communities???
No.
Rather, muslims leaders call all such
efforts,
Not respectful?
In these pages i have tried [as much as possible]
to avoid
expressing any
outright abusive remarks about the Jihadists/ISLAM.
But i will admit that in some instances,
i have succumbed.
Also, after examining the 'logic' presented by the Jihadists for their violence,
after reading
the details, of some incidents, of some news
reports, i have been moved to express a caustic sarcasm in
some of my comment.
I have a message for muslims who are
offended...
In the West, we
have a long [and healthy] tradition, that respect
is earned.
...and that in our culture, it is
not a
natural product of fear.
That is to say, that in the West, we may fear
thugs,
but we do not
respect them!

Numbers
24:9
[Israel]
.....Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.
10 ¶And Balak's anger
was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak
said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold,
thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.
11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote
thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from
honour.
12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers
which thou sentest unto me, saying,
13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I
cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad
of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?
14 And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what
this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
15 ¶And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of
Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
16 He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the
knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty,
falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not
nigh: there shall
come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel,
and shall smite
the
corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a
possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall
destroy him that remaineth of the city.
20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and
said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be
that he perish for ever.
21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and
said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall
carry thee away captive.
23 And he took up his
parable, and said, Alas, who
shall live when God doeth this!
24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall
afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for
ever.
25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and
Balak also went his way.
Psalms
14:1
¶<<To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.>> The fool
hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have
done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
2 The LORD looked
down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any
that did understand, and seek God.
3 They are all
gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that
doeth good, no, not one.
4 ¶Have all
the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat
bread, and call not upon the LORD.
5 There were they
in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.
6 Ye have shamed
the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.
7 Oh
that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD
bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and
Israel shall be glad.
Ezekiel 35:1
¶Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy
against it,
3 And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir,
I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I
will make thee most desolate.
4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and
thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the
blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time
of their calamity, in the
time that their iniquity had an end:
6 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee
unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated
blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it
him that passeth out and him that returneth.
8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills,
and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are
slain with the sword.
9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall
not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
10 ¶Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two
countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was
there:
11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do
according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast
used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among
them, when I have judged thee.
12 And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard
all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of
Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
13 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have
multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
14 Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I
will make thee desolate.
15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of
Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be
desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall
know that I am the LORD.
Isaiah 26:8
Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the
desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my
spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in
the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
10 Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn
righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and
will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
11 LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they
shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire
of thine enemies shall devour them.
Isaiah 26:17
Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery,
is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight,
O LORD.
18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it
were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the
earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they
arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew
of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
20 ¶Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut
thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment,
until the indignation be overpast.
21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the
inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall
disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
The Most High God is not a wanton destroyer, but a
righteous judge.

Even though many muslim clerics encourage such action [murder], against
all
who resist the influence of ISLAM.
In the same verse above,
Proverbs 14:34, God says that,
"Righteousness exalteth a nation:"?
OK.
Is there one ISLAMIC nation which has been exalted by God?

ISLAMIC societies
are
desolate
societies.
This is why intelligent 'muslims' living in ISLAMIC nations will eagerly move to vibrant, spiritually 'exalted', non-muslim
nations.
And it is why intelligent non-muslim
persons, avoid living in ISLAMIC nations, 'like the plague'!
EVERYONE [even muslims] know that ISLAMIC
societies are
oppressive, and unjust, toward any truly spiritual influence, or
spiritual person,
among them. example1
EVERYONE knows that ISLAMIC
societies are
desolate
societies - even muslims know this!
NOTE: I didn't say a muslim would admit this, only that they know this!
Even within non-muslim nations, wherever a
large group of muslims
gather to live together, their community quickly
becomes intolerant of any non-muslim influence
close to them.
And these ISLAMIC communities quickly
become desolate
communities! example1,
example2,

Muslims communities [those within non-muslim
communities] that grow in influence,
quickly
'discover' that
everything which is
non-muslim is 'unacceptable', unclean, or haraam.

ISLAM is
"...the abomination that maketh
desolate...", spoken of by Daniel!
In this life...
Micah
6:8
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is
good; and what doth the LORD
require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk
humbly with thy God?
In this life, men should do good, 'for goodness
sake'.
God has told each one of us as much.
God has put this understanding, into our hearts.
No?
Do you love, your own
children?
How much?
And in your
eyes, is 'your child', the only 'child' worthy of life, worthy of
mercy?
Terror
- is the objective!
Terror - is the
'method'!
Psalms 7:11
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every
day.
Psalms 11:4
¶The LORD is in
his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his
eyelids try, the children of men.
5 The LORD
trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his
soul hateth.
What is in the heart of all men [to
some degree]?
Darkness.
All men have been corrupted
by their 'power' of choice [i.e. by the
exercising of their choices, in
this physical world!].
"....The LORD looked
down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any
that did understand, and seek God.
They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is
none that doeth good, no, not one." Psalms 14
Some men [some 'muslims' and some non-muslims] will come to acknowledge
this
truth, while some others
will always deny the truth,

had
intended to incite people to violence."
John
8:38
¶I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that
which ye have seen with your father.
39 They answered and said
unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were
Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 But now ye seek to kill
me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this
did not Abraham.
41 Ye do the deeds of your
father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have
one Father, even God.
42 Jesus said unto them,
If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and
came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not
understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Ye are of your father
the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer
from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no
truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is
a liar, and the father of it.
Romans
8:5
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but
they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally
minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind
is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither
indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in
the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the
flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.
Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Above Paul say's...
"...if any man have not the Spirit of
Christ, he is none of his."
The 'Spirit of Christ' here, refers to the spirit of the
messiah - come into the world.
And God's messiah, is mankind's
spiritual redeemer.
You say that you do not need a spiritual
redeemer?
I ask you to take another look at what mankind is
doing, ....this world, 2007.
Who's choices
have had this consequence, ....for our world?
Was it the tooth fairy did it?
We
do it, day by day.
Choices, day by day.

Mankind, and that

"Home

And there are many paths to tred..."
song of Peregrin Took, for Lord Denethor - ROTK
In the context [stated
above] that we are more

All mankind has inhabited "a garden eastward in Eden".
And
all mankind,
individually, has taken
"of the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil".
Genesis
2:8
¶And the LORD God planted a
garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Genesis 2:16
¶And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the
garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the
day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
This
Genesis garden story, is
our
personal story.
We
are Adam,
we
are Eve!

Genesis story is

13:10
And the disciples came, and said unto
him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto
them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom
of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 For whosoever hath, to him
shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath
not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13 Therefore speak I to them in
parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not,
neither do they understand.
14 And in them is fulfilled the
prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall
not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15 For this people's heart is
waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they
have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear
with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be
converted, and I should heal them.

3:19
¶Now
we know that what
things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law:
that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty
before God.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the
law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is
the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of
God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the
prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God
which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that
believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come
short of the glory of God;
Isaiah 8:16
¶Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
17 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the
house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18 Behold, I and the
children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for
wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have
familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should
not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according
to this word, it is because
there is no light in them.
21 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and
it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret
themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
22 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and
darkness, dimness of anguish; and
they shall be driven to darkness.
Isaiah 9:1
¶Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her
vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun
and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her
by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
2 The people that
walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land
of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
Matthew 4:12
¶Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he
departed into Galilee;
13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is
upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying,
15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of
the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them
which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for
the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
1 Thessalonians 5:3
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction
cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall
not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should
overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the
children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of
the night, nor of darkness.
Through inspiration from the Holy Spirit, the apostle Paul revealed
that the messiah [the
spiritual redeemer] of Israel will not return until after SATAN's agent is
revealed in the world, the Antichrist.
It seems that a lot of 'hard things' are yet to come, to this world,
and to those who call
themselves 'Christians'.
2 Thessalonians 2:3
¶Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come,
except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be
revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God,
or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God,
shewing himself that he is God.
It will get a little confusing now.
Returning to ISLAMIC doctrine
more specifically...
ISLAM has a 'messiah' too,
the Mahdi [who comes to
destroy the state of Israel, and to kill the
Jews,
....and, the Christians,
don't forget the Christians!].
And, muslims also have their own 'Jesus' too, the muslim 'Jesus', who is a
'Prophet', and he is a subordinate
of the Mahdi.
And he [the
muslim 'Jesus']
comes to destroy Christianity [the
muslim 'Jesus' is a 'destroyer',
....he is not the
Jewish / Christian messiah].
[The
muslim 'Jesus' ,
comes to destroy,
....Christianity???
Duh?
Yes.
Non-muslims are
'evil-livers'. Christians are
non-muslims, therefore....
This is just more beautiful
'muslim logic'. Don't
bother questioning this muslim logic.
You are only a dumb Kuffar!]
This is where it gets disturbing [if you give any credence to the
pronouncements of the ISLAMIC clerics]!
The real Jesus [spoken of in Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, the messiah, the spiritual
redeemer of Israel] is the muslim Antichrist [yes, ISLAM has an 'Antichrist'
too!].
And it seems very likely that the Biblical
God of Israel, is the ISLAMIC
SATAN.
It is likely that in all those places where their authority extends,
the Mahdi, and the muslim 'Jesus', will set
about to kill
all those who will not submit to ISLAM, nor bow down to Allah.
[So, the
Mahdi, and the muslim 'Jesus',
are just full-on Jihadists then?
Yes!
It is just more of the
same, .....ISLAM, more
criminal psychosis being portrayed
as a 'messianic' religion.
Which is basically, exactly
what the devout muslims
engage in
today.
Why am i not surprised? ]
John
16:2
.....the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he
doeth God service.
Revelation
20:4
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto
them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of
Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast,
neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads,
or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand
years.
The
form
of execution described in this verse above, is mentioned sparsely
in the Bible.
John the Baptist,
was one of those to suffer this type of execution.
see also...
Table of
comparison, between the traditional characterisation of Biblical
characters, and the ISLAMIC / Koranic characterisation of Biblical
characters.
Personally
i do not believe in the accuracy of any of the pronounced muslim eschatology
['end-time'
beliefs].
Not one word of it.
Why not?
Consider...
The combined Jewish & Christian Bible consists of 66 books, by
multiple 'authors', yet the underlying theme [redemption of
mankind] in its pages, is a [persistent
and] consistent
'message'.
And there is also a substantial amount of archaeology which backs up at
least some of the 'facts', and accounts, which are claimed in these
combined pages.
Whereas, the whole of
ISLAM is based, is built upon, the the words [and i will say
this
again, the
words] which passed through the lips of one man.

Debating muslims, ...gets you a
debate in 'circular reasoning',
"Mohammed
was a prophet of God."
Q. Who said so?
A. Well, God told
Mohammed. And then Mohammed told us. [....that's how
we
muslims got the Koran too, ....straight from Allah!]
Q. Why should we believe what Mohammed said to us?
A. Because Mohammed was a
prophet of God.
To believe in ISLAM, you are
compelled to accept as true,
the
utterances of
ONE
single man,
a self professed warlord, a murderer, a pirate, a brigand,
a deceiver, a thief.
ISLAM in its entirety, is based upon the utterances of one
man, Muhammad.
The cult of ISLAM is a false 'religion', ISLAM is entirely an edifice of
falsehood and lies.
Can any muslim prove that all of the words of the Koran are not
'Satanic verses', and that the ummah
are not deceived by their clerics?
I know that this is a difficult ask.
And yet, it still pleases many, to believe those words of [one man],
Muhammad.
Again....
Romans
6:16
Know ye not, that to whom ye
yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey;
whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
2 Thessalonians 2:7
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth
will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall
consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the
brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all
power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that
perish; because they
received not the love of the truth, that they
might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that
they should believe a lie:
Know what it is to be a child...
To see a world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wild flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
William Blake, Auguries of
Innocence

The Genesis garden story in
the Bible, was
[i believe]
a symbolic account of mankind being ejected from 'heaven'.
[I believe that we are more
than this flesh]
Heaven? ['heaven',
the kingdom of
God, the kingdom of heaven.]
Where is, what is, 'heaven'?
Essentially, [being in] 'heaven',
is being in the presence of
God [i believe].
If you are in the presence of God, then you
are
in 'heaven'.
In my experience, [i believe that] there are 4 kinds of people walking
this earth...
- There are people who believe that there is no
God.
- There are people who
believe that there
may
be a God. But hey, they
don't know.
- There are people who believe that
there is a
God, and they pray to him.
- There are people who know there
is a God.
For many years, i was a #3.
Who can
know, that
there is a God?
People like
Yasmin can.
Read
the full
'Muslim
apostates cast out' Timesonline article,
to learn
Yasmin's story.
Myself, and many others, have had a similar experience to
Yasmin [in
one respect].
Why us?
I can't answer that, ...
but.
Psalms
16:11
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy;
at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Psalms
63:1
¶<<A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of
Judah.>> O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee,
my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
2 To see thy power and thy
glory, so as I have seen
thee in the sanctuary.
Jeremiah 33:14
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good
thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house
of Judah.
15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of
righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and
righteousness in the land.
16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell
safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD
our righteousness.
After the rebellion against God, mankind was, 'sent down the road',
ejected from Eden.
This resulted in our spiritual separation from God, a separation
from our 'life' giver.
Job
33:4
The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath
given me life.
Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set
before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life,
that both thou and thy seed may live:
20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest
obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy
life, and the length of thy days......
Through our rebellion we were separated from our 'father'.
And without a reconciliation with our [spirit] father, a spiritual
death sentence would be our fate.
Can we, mankind, get back?
What is, where is, 'the road back to Eden'?
And how can we find 'the road back to Eden'?
I firmly believe that 'the road back to
Eden', can be found, by reading, by meditating upon, the words of, the
stories of, the wisdom contained in, the Jewish and Christian Bible.
If you are willing to read this spiritual 'source' [the
Bible], and
meditate upon
it, doing so will awaken within
you a knowledge of, that
[spirit] for which you seek, and inwardly yearn.
Revelation
18:1
¶And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven,
having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2 And he cried mightily
with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen,
and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul
spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all nations have
drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the
earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the
earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another
voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not
partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Our rebellion against our God, was gained
through our being [at once, 'innocent', gullible, greedy, vain, and] deceived.
And now, all we 'here' [in these mortal
bodies], have
'tasted' the domain of the serpent.
And now we, all mankind, have
the knowledge
of 'good and evil'.
And we now, know the full extent of his [SATAN's] 'promise', to us.
And now, know that it was a [spiritual] lie, totally bereft of any love
and
truth.
But now we [all mankind], through our 'knowledge' of
good and
evil, stand accused [by SATAN], as being
now spiritually
'unworthy'.
SATAN was able to say to God [something like]
,
'These spiritual beings [mankind] now have 'knowledge' of good and evil, they are defiled, they are [spiritually] unclean, and they are now mine. I claim
them!'
SATAN deceived mankind, and SATAN was
determined to establish his dominion over us, as his
creatures [as his
'creation'].
[SATAN wants our 'submission', and our
worship, of himself. SATAN
promised us that we would be as God,
but it
was an empty promise - a lie.]
And after our deception, SATAN was hoping
that God would decide to abandon us, as a lost cause [as
spiritually unworthy of his presence].
But, there is 'a way back' for us
[into the presence of God].
God has a plan to redeem mankind from the
clutches of SATAN.
It was a plan that involved a people who were
'chosen' by God, and who came to be known in this world as 'Israel'.
Deuteronomy
32:8
When the most High divided to
the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of
Adam, he
set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of
Israel.
9 For the LORD'S portion is his
people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 He found him in a desert
land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he
instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
Deuteronomy
32:43
Rejoice, O ye nations, with
his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will
render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his
land, and to his people.
A plan to redeem mankind, perhaps not
all, but....
".....as
many as are led by the Spirit of God,"
Genesis
22:15
¶And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the
second time,
16 And said, By myself
have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing,
and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
17 That in blessing I will
bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the
stars of
the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed
shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18 And in thy seed shall all the
nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my
voice.
Romans 8:14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God [redeemed].
15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear;
but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba,
Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are
the children of God:
1 John 4:1
¶Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether
they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the
world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth
that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come
in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist,
whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it
in the world.
4 ¶Ye are of God,
little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he
that is in you, than he that is in the world.
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and
the world heareth them.
6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not
of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the
spirit of error.
7 ¶Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and
every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that
God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live [be
redeemed] through
him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us,
and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
It is now time for us to choose.
Isaiah
8:16
¶Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
17 And I will wait upon
the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look
for him.
18 Behold, I and the
children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for
wonders in
Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
Revelation 7:2
And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the
living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom
it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees,
till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
If you love this world, you will suffer the fate of the deceiver, the
'destroyer', the god of this world.
It is up to you.
Choose.
Ezekiel 33:11
Say unto them, As I live,
saith the Lord GOD, I have
no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from
his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why
will ye die, O house of Israel?
Amos 5:4
¶For thus saith the
LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
In Ezekiel and
Amos here,
who is 'Israel' here?
In scripture it is the
physical nation of Israel which is 'redeemed' from their
'bondage' in
Egypt.
In scripture the
physical nation of Israel
are a 'type', an example
for all of us [for all mankind].
And for that
purpose [to portray a story
of redemption], the particular people of Israel were 'chosen' by
God.
And we
are the 'witnesses' to their 'journey' through our history.
But today, whether
'Jew'
or 'Gentile',
it makes no difference.
I believe that in this world, all who accept God's offer of spiritual
redemption are deemed to be,
are spoken of as a 'type' of the, 'house
of Israel'.
And they are redeemed by God.
In the 'end' ['at the last trump'],
it is [i believe] a spiritual 'Israel' who are, spiritually
redeemed.
Jeremiah
9:25
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them
which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;
26 Egypt, and Judah, and
Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the
utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are
uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.
BUT, a warning to all those peoples who surround the physical
nation of Israel today [2007, Dec].
The 'last trump' has not yet
sounded.
And, the physical
nation
of Israel are still
today [as always they have
been], a prophetic 'type', an example, for our
[mankind's] spiritual redemption
[i believe].
Not because they are 'worthy' [nor
are any of us!], but because they [Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and
Israel's line] are declared
as the 'chosen' - by God.
Psalms
135:4
For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto
himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
Would you attempt to
'touch', "...the apple of his [God's] eye.", Deuteronomy
32:10 ?
Mess with Israel
and her people today
[without God's permission],
at your peril.
Deuteronomy
32:36
For the LORD shall judge his
people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their
power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
37 And he shall say, Where are
their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
38 Which did eat the fat of
their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them
rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39 ¶See now that I, even I,
am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound,
and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40 For I lift up my hand to
heaven, and say, I live for ever.
41 If I whet my glittering
sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to
mine enemies, and
will reward them that hate me.
Ezekiel
36:22
Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O
house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have
profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.
23 And I will sanctify
my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye
have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I
am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you
before their eyes.
24 For I will take you
from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will
bring you into your own land.
God does not abandon us to the clutches of SATAN.
'Bondage' and 'submission' are words which are closely
associated.
I ask all [including muslims], who is your god?
Romans 2:7
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and
honour and immortality, eternal life:
8 But unto them that
are contentious, and do not
obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and
anguish, upon every soul of
man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and
also of the Gentile;
10 But glory,
honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first,
and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no
respect of persons with God.
Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and
acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
John 3:1
¶There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the
Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher
come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest,
except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto
thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old?
can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man
be born of water and of the
Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit
is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound
thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so
is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel,
and knowest not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and
testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how
shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down
from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so
must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him
might be saved.
The God of Israel wishes to [spiritually] redeem all of us.
That we may once again, share the joy of his presence.
Isaiah
61:1
¶The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath
anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to
bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the
opening of the prison to
them that are bound;
2 To proclaim the
acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to
comfort all that mourn;
3 To appoint unto them
that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy
for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that
they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD,
that he might be glorified.
Psalms 146:5
¶Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,
whose hope is in the LORD his God:
6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is:
which keepeth truth for ever:
7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food
to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:
8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are
bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:
9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless
and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all
generations. Praise ye the LORD.
1 Corinthians 1:18
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but
unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and
will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer
of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God,
it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that
believe.
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a
stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ
the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the
weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men
after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to
confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to
confound the things which are mighty;
28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised,
hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought
things that are:
29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us
wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Isaiah 44:21
¶Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I
have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be
forgotten of me.
22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and,
as a cloud, thy sins: return
unto me; for I have redeemed thee.
Where in this world, do you stand?
In our
hearts, we all choose.
We don't need a 'Church'.
We need to pray to our God.
Seek
your God.
