Of angels, of SATAN, and of
Jihadists
Should we fear the Jihadists
of ISLAM?
Do i fear the Jihadists?
I would normally regard myself [in my recent life] as having lived a
secular life,
but...
Two words...
Fear God.
And yes, this is hardly something that a secularist would say! [I
smile.]
I did read and study the Bible in my youth, but for
most of my life, i have lived a secular life.
And i confess that i am a crass sort of person, yet seemingly, God still loves me.
I have done some very silly, some very selfish, some very dumb, dumb
things, and some
very immature,
things in my life.
I am a fool.
I am a man.
I am not a saint. [I smile.]
Perhaps i will do a lot more silly things before i die.
But, what i am doing here, this is not one of them.
Of
angels
Since i was a small child i have [sometimes] been aware of what we
commonly call angels, 'watching over me'.
These angels may indeed have
saved my life.
Angels - I believe that we all have
[our own] 'angels'.
[Are angels somehow, a part of our own selves? I suspect so, but i do
not know this.]
I believe that we can engage with, and encourage their presence,
and sometimes, we can
drive them away [and thereby attract to ourselves other,
....darker 'things'! I believe this.].
My perception was, is, that as a small child, my angels did protect me
from danger.
The details need not be explored here.
Psalms
34:18
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of
a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
I have not 'seen' angels with these eyes.
Except once in a dream**, one of my angels clearly revealed himself to
me.
I saw his face, plainly.
No words were spoken, either way.
How then, did i know he was an angel?
My response...
I smile at this question.
** The dream event described above was
a [singular]
deliberate
'one on one' event.
But over many years, i have had numerous dreams where i attribute a
'testing' [or 'catalytic'] angelic presence within my dream landscapes
/ scenarios.
In my own dreams [my perception is that] the 'angelic presence' often
assumes a ['hidden'] nondescript [but sometimes 'catalytic'] character
within my dreams.
I regard dreams as a wonderful opportunity to learn [principally] about
ourselves [about our personal, current
spiritual
'base'], and i welcome them.
Dreams; .....I believe that on waking, and
remembering a dream, we should
always try to meditate upon
the meaning / lesson in our dream[s].
I believe that you will be rewarded, by so doing.
.....more on dreams,
here.
Angels,
voices?
Angels, voices?
I do not normally speak of these things - to anyone.
Why not?
Because it is not wise to claim to have
experiences, which are not
commonly the experiences of others.
Why?
Because people who claim to have [perceptions of] extra-ordinary
experiences are often
regarded as mad or deluded.
[i can say that, aside from my
perception of the
occasional presence of 'angels', i am also an occasional
OBE'er.
so, having 'perceptions' of
OBE's
would further confirm my wackiness to some.
and no, regards my
OBE's, i do
not partake of
'recreational' drugs.
almost all of my
OBE's have
been a 'waking' experience, not a dream experience.
ADVICE; If you awake to a 'night tremor' [full awareness, but physical
paralysis], don't let
fear take hold.
If you can relax, you may experience an
OBE! Just try to relax, and
accept and
experience what is happening
. I believe that you are
completely safe
[excluding any
external,
physical dangers.
Better still! Ask for God's protection, and ask for God's love to
surround you. Call out his name.]
I learnt when i was a child, that it is in our nature to fear [and to
isolate], what we ourselves do not, commonly understand, or know.
And i know that it is in our nature, that we will often try to destroy
that which we
[sometimes irrationally] fear.
I think that this fear, being a typical response, may be because we do
not
like others to come to us, and to challenge, our own perceptions of this, this, this, reality.
Because with changed, or challenged perceptions, we may also be
challenged to change our view of the way we live our lives?
And that may be ....uncomfortable.
There is so much that we
humans [me too!] do not know, about the essential reality of our existence, here.
And if we will admit the truth, we will admit this deficiency of
knowledge, as a fact.
And consequently, our personal perception of reality must be, a
fragile
thing.
Yet, i know that many, many people, would strongly deny this previous
statement.
And principally this denial [i believe] is because [ their
experience in, and their
experience of ], this world
has most people
'by
the throat'!
"How
can this experience,
not be
real!?!"
It is so much easier, and 'natural',
to become a 'party to' the consciousness
in this
world.
[...i have been there, and done that,
too!]
And the inclination is for us to, just 'go
native',
rather than to stop for a moment and to meditate!
[I smile.]
And it is so much easier [and it is often socially compelling!], for
us
to just adopt the
perceptions of
those who are already
here, in
this world, as our own!
You say that this last contention is
just BS?
That most people,
would
never
compromise their base beliefs like that!
Consider...
Not so very long ago,
it
was 'socially compelling' to submit to the argument that, 'the earth is
flat'.
Every fool knew that!
After all, from the point of
view of the individual, the earth appears
to be flat, and appearances
are everything, aren't they!!
Additionally, go and try to explain, to people living in 15th century
Europe, how it is possible for 350 tons of Jumbo jet to fly through the
air - and you
would be burnt at the stake as a witch.
'A
little knowledge, can
be
a dangerous thing!'
Especially in the wrong hands!
As the inhabitants of, ...."a
garden eastward in Eden" were want to learn!
But that was then, and this is now, today.
And mankind is, in
possession of so much more knowledge now.
Right?
:)))))
So, what is 'real', and what is
'reality'?
Are you sure?
...real-ly?
:)
Appearances can be deceiving! <---- THIS IS
THE REALITY!
The Preacher speaks here, of the days
of men's lives, here in
this life...
Ecclesiastes
3:10
I have seen the travail, which God
hath given to the sons of men to be
exercised in it.
11 ¶He hath made every
thing beautiful in his time: also
he
hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the
work
that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
12 I know that there is no good
in them, but for a man to
rejoice, and to do good in
his life.
and...
Proverbs
17:3
¶The fining pot is for silver,
and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.
see also...Ecclesiastes 12:1-7
My perception is, that we are never closer [in this life] to our God 'consciousness', than
when we first 'arrive' here.
That is why little children still do [seem to] believe, in the reality of 'magical'
experiences, and believe in things
not seen
[with their eyes].
So innocently, children can
accept, what they encounter, or what they experience.
But so, so, soon, within a few years, that
consciousness
, that innocence,
will fade away - as we 'go
native', and as this
'reality' kicks in!
Anyway, why say all of these things now?
A small voice.
[.........the best way i can describe this is,
sometimes i will suddenly 'perceive'
a small voice [not in my head] in my
heart, in my 'being'.]
A
small voice - part 1
THE KIBBUTZ...
These are the names of kibbutz i visited, 1973-1975
- Kfar Ruppin [i was a 'visitor' here
when the Yom Kippur War started]
- Kfar Azza
- Matzuva
[kibbutzniks always referred to us as 'volunteers', but here, i prefer
the term visitor.]
In the days before the massacre of innocents in a school at Maalot
[1974], in northern Israel...
...I was staying / working at a kibbutz, Matzuva, in the north of
Israel.
That day, myself and a handful of other visitors had been left in a
banana plantation by our Israeli supervisor.
[our group were all english speaking foreigners, visitors to Israel and
the
kibbutz]
We had been given knives, and we were busy trimming the dead leaves
from
the trunks of the banana trees.
After some time had passed...
On foot, our Israeli supervisor returned, he told us to stop working.
Seeing that we were all present, he told us to stay here where we were,
and that he would return again shortly.
He then left without anything else being said.
We sat down and speculated about why he had told us to stop work.
And then we began to talk about other things, like what we might have
for lunch that day, which came to the field for us, in small hampers.
Then [to me] a small voice said, something like,
There
is danger here. Please be
quiet.
I did not tell my companions that i heard a small voice.
I just said to my companions who were chatting among themselves...
I
have a bad feeling.
One of my companions who was talking, stopped and asked,
What
is wrong?
I answered to the group something like...
I don't know. I feel that we
should not be here now.
I just have a feeling
that we are in some danger here.
Please, I think that we should
stop talking, and just sit quietly.
The words I spoke must have scared my companions sufficiently, or maybe
they themselves 'felt' the same thing too, as they
all shushed up.
A little while later, again on foot, our Israeli supervisor returned,
and we then walked back to a
road, to be picked up by a utility.
A little later, back at the kibbutz, our Israeli supervisor told us
that the Israeli army was
aware that there were 'people' moving through the area, 'people who should not be there'.
He would not elaborate further, or confirm it directly, but it was
clear to us that he meant
that these 'people' may be 'terrorists', from across the Lebanon border.
The Lebanon border was about 3 km away.
Some few days later we were all shocked, and distressed, at what
happened at Maalot.
[Matzuva is
perhaps 12 km from Maalot]

school in Maalot

Israel
God blesses Israel [i
believe, .....i know!].
At this point, I can guess what some ISLAMIST reading this page,
might
suggest...
"Kibbutz?
Israel? He is a Jew!
He
is cursed by Allah, and obviously this person has an agenda, against
muslims!"
I smile.
I have an agenda against those who murder innocents.
I have an agenda against the
servants of SATAN.
I am not a Jew.
I can prove this to anyone in my presence, very simply.
The Most High God has blessed Israel.
In the whole earth, from ancient times, the people of Israel have been,
and still are today, a special and 'separate' people.
No other people on earth have had such a distinctive, well recorded,
and publicised
history.
Publicised!
Has there been another book like the old Hebrew testament, the Old
Testament, the Bible?
And the 'people of the book', the people of that collection
of human knowledge, are today the Jewish people.
[
And even today
their most venomous enemy, do still refer to the Jewish people, as the
'people of the book'!
And that moniker in itself, it is
an acknowledgement
of the truth!]
Wake up world!
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.
of
SATAN
The 'Great' SATAN...
This of course, is the 'tag' that the U.S.A. has been given, by the
clerics of ISLAM.
And is the U.S.A. the Great SATAN ???
I don't believe so.
Through its history, the U.S.A. its people have shown a strong love of
freedom and liberty.
I believe that the
people of U.S.A. are indeed a strong 'ADVERSARY' to the ambitions of ISLAM in this
world!
The U.S.A., is a commonwealth
of people.
And true, at times the U.S.A., in this world, has done foolish things,
and
some unwise things.
[...haven't we all?!]
But the U.S.A., has also brought blessings to mankind, in this world.
And what was the subject heading again?
Oh yes, ....of SATAN!
And what of SATAN [again]?
I see what is happening in the world today, and i am personally
outraged [i begin to let SATAN enter!] by what i see.
And what do i see?
I see the servants of SATAN, killing
innocents and, in delusion, or in
malice, then proclaiming
that such acts 'honour' their god.
- "In
the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful."
............most
merciful?, most gracious? most,
....poppycock!
- ISLAM is a "Religion of
Peace" ?
..............i don't think so!
"In
the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful." <---
'ISLAM-speak', a worthy
contender for 'supremacy', against '1984''s Newspeak
and Doublespeak.
For devout muslims, Allah's mercy ['equality
in Judgement'] only extends from devout muslim, to fellow devout
muslims [of
the same sect!].
"In
the name of Allah! ......many of
Allah's devotees,
are the most Ungracious,
the most Unmerciful,
and the most Demonic
......of psychotics,
walking
the earth."
Clearly, according to some of Allah's most devoted, none
of Allah's 'love and gracious mercy' ['equality
in Judgement'] extends from muslim to non-muslims, nor from
muslims to 'apostate' muslims [i.e. the wrong 'type' of muslims!].
[For anyone who wonders what i mean by
the phrase,
'equality
in Judgement', i simply mean,
Justice.
Simple Justice.
Muslims everywhere, always, praise
ISLAMIC society, as being just, and equal.
Is strident, unrestrained ISLAM in
Saudi Arabia [for example!], an example of a just society for all,
under
Sharia?
'Most
Gracious, Most Merciful' ? , you judge, an
example
of Sharia justice.]
i.e. This violence is driven by irrational and insane rage.
This [i believe] is a sign of the age in which we live.
ISLAM seems [in my opinion, and in the opinion of many others] to have
been founded by a big deceiver - SATAN.
Which, seems to me to be borne out in the consistent conduct of all
of its clerics, and many of its devotees!
Deception is
a cardinal characteristic [and method] of all those little devils, the Jihadists [who, in their use of
deception, follow
their master's
example]!
Deception....
God gave us humans 'power', here, in this life [and on this little
planet], to
do what we will.
He gave us all, a freewill to make choices.
That is his design.
That is his intention.
That we should have choices, and that we should
freely make choices in this life.
Freewill to choose what we will do.
And, a freedom to judge
ourselves
here, now, and 'later'.
And what do the servants of SATAN, do with their freewill - in this
life?
They choose,
....to kill
innocents [for, the Cause of Allah].
....and will then proclaim,
"Allah is greater!"
[.....their god is greater, than
the LORD God of Israel,
is the meaning, of the Jihadists.]
Yes, well...
Ezekiel 35:13
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.
Matthew 11:12
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven
suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
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?
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.
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?
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.
A
small voice - part 2
In ISLAM, 'good' muslims have a duty to 'struggle' against [preferably
convert, or enslave, otherwise kill]
non-believers,
until the whole
world
submits to ISLAM -
then there will be 'peace'.
These are Jihadists.
In ISLAMIC scripture,
those muslims who will not
'struggle' alongside the Jihadists are
called 'hypocrites'.
In ISLAMIC scripture,
these 'hypocrites' are classed as apostates -
and worthy of death!
I call them innocents - who are struggling in this world
with their perceptions, of it.
To all of the innocents living within the ISLAM sect...
It would be wise to remove
yourself from this evil sect.
And to the innocents within
ISLAM.
You, who do see the evil.
Remove yourself from ISLAM, do this, before your last breath.
Fear the Most High God, and leave, and seek to do good in this world.
2 Thessalonians
2:10 ...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:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but
had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Psalms 34:14
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are
open unto their cry.
Psalms
120
1 ¶<<A Song of
degrees.>> In my distress I cried
unto the LORD, and he heard me.
2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from
lying lips, and from a deceitful
tongue.
3 What shall be given unto thee?
or what shall be done unto thee,
thou false tongue?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty,
with coals of juniper.
5 ¶Woe is me, that I
sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the
tents of Kedar!
6 My soul hath long dwelt with
him that hateth peace.
7 I am for peace: but when I
speak, they are for war.
of
Jihadists
A message to Jihadists.
Time
is coming to an end.
Soon
you must answer.
All those in ISLAM, who 'struggle' for...
supremacy in
this world,
are Jihadists.
To all those in ISLAM,
who murder and dream of murders, in the cause of Allah, and imagine they
are righteous...
To the Jihadists.
Who..... is your god?
And what is his name?
Do you believe that we also, will die at your hand?
Do you imagine that you are 'righteous', and 'justified', in your
murders, and in your dreams of murders?
Do you not know that he who kills for no good reason, murders the
children of his own father and mother?
Your hate will die with you.
I am in God's hand.
When i die, i will return again from where i came.
Hebrews
9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the
judgment:
I am just a man.
SATAN is nothing...
[The power of] SATAN is the evil we
allow into our
hearts, and give expression
to.
I know that SATAN has no power over me in this world.
...none except that power,
which i myself give to him.
.....and as they say, 'God forbid',
that!
[And the same is true for us all.]
Only the arm of the servants of SATAN, can harm me.
And then, only if this is Gods will.
My life is in the hand of God, Yahweh.
The God of the Old and New Testaments.
The God
of Jacob.
Yahweh,
the LORD his Angel, who parted the Red Sea [at Nuweiba].
YHVH, with an phonation of JEHOVAH, or YAHWEH...
YAHWEH, is the name that God
has
chosen for himself.
And Gods name is used
[reputedly, and even
repeatedly! :-) ] nearly 7,000 times in
the Bible,
......but is used,
......NOT
EVEN ONCE IN THE KORAN.
The Bible [repeatedly suggests, and consistently] teaches
that Yahweh
loves Israel, and
that he will 'redeem' Israel [examples, Jeremiah
31:1-14, 31-34 Ezekiel 36
Isaiah 54:5-8].
In total contrast to this,
....the Koran
teaches that Allah has rejected and
cursed the Jews [Israel] and Christians, and characterises
[non-dhimmified,
non-submissive,] Jews and
Christians as mortal enemies of
Allah, and muslims [principally, Jews and Christians must die
because of their unwavering, and continued,
rejection of Allah and his
prophet].
[I know that many Christians and Jews, and many
EX-muslims,
firmly believe that 'Allah'
is in fact SATAN! see, Revelation
20:4 '...I saw the souls of
them that were beheaded
for the witness of Jesus..' ]
Only those Jews and Christians who bow down to Allah, can live
in Dar
al-ISLAM.
ISLAM, and muslims, teach that the 'true path' for all mankind, is to be a slave of Allah.
When radical muslims state that 'Jesus
is
the
slave of Allah', this is not intended
as an insult to Jesus [or to Christians, well, maybe not!].
http://bokertov.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/jesus_is_the_slave_of_allah.jpg
Christians need to understand, to realise!,
that muslim theology states that there is [or will be 'produced', soon in history!], a muslim
Jesus.
[see....
A table of
comparison, between the traditional characterisation of Biblical
characters, and the ISLAMIC / Koranic characterisation of Biblical
characters.]
In fact muslims sincerely believe that everything, absolutely everything in creation,
is prostrate before their Allah.
The Koran also teaches,
and devout muslims believe, that
the Bible has been distorted,
corrupted and changed
[1],
[2],
[....by Jews and Christians, and that Jews and
Christians removed many
references in the Bible, to the coming of Allah's final prophet].
Consequently, devout muslims insist
that
only the Koran is now to be
taken as God's revealed message to mankind.
And although, devout muslims claim to believe the [O.T.] Bible was originally Gods
word, any Bible verse that
contradicts ISLAMIC teaching[s] is
clearly in error, and clearly, is a part of the
Bible that has been
corrupted and distorted by, ....those hateful Jews and Christians [i.e.
by those evil people, who hate
Allah!].
[and of course, devout
muslims believe, that Abraham,
Hagar, Ishmael, Moses, David and
Jesus were all, ....muslims!]
The following Bible verse is
the epitome of the message
which ISLAM rages
against [and the message which is alluded to throughout the Jewish and
Christian
Bible]...
Psalms
98:3
He hath remembered his mercy and his
truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen
the salvation of our God.
And do muslims read the
Jewish and Christian Bible?
No.
To the devout muslim, the Jewish and Christian Bible is,
....verboten!
[In those muslim communities [in the
West] where it
is difficult, or impossible, to prohibit reading of the Jewish and
Christian Bible, it
is discouraged, and those who waver are condemned.]
Why would devout muslims want to read the Jewish and Christian Bible!
ISLAM, muslims, [now] have their very own 'Bible', and their own 'holy
law', revealed to their #1 slave, from Allah, Most Gracious,
Most Merciful.
i.e. The Jihadists, the
muslims, are now justified, and 'sanctified' in
all
their worldly deeds [by their very own 'holy
law book' ] and in all of their 'good
works' in the world, to the honour of their god, Allah....
But here is something from
the
Jewish
Bible...
"Shall
the throne of iniquity have
fellowship with thee, which
frameth mischief by a law?"
Was the O.T. Bible
distorted,
corrupted, and changed by Jews???
You must examine the evidence for yourself, and then make a judgement
for yourself.
Here is the testimony of one
ex-Jihadist
[who as a child, had been
taught
by ISLAM, to HATE Jews].
His testimony below, proves that there must be many muslims who are
able to reason, and to see God's LIGHT....
......"Many times my mother would take me
on
trips to several museums in Israel, and I fell in love with archeology,
and was fascinated with it. In many arguments with her I would bluntly tell her that the
Jews and Christians corrupted the Bible.
She responded by taking me to
the
scroll museum in Jerusalem and showed me the scroll of Isaiah, still
intact, but there was no one taking pictures of any Bible errors
to prove of any corruption and I could not respond to my mother...."
......"The struggle began, I was
puzzled; how could the Bible be a fake and
corrupted by the Jews if the land I grew in spoke and cried out, as
thousands of pieces of archeological evidence surfaced from the land of
Israel, confirming the Bible?
And the book of Isaiah was
discovered in the Qumran caves by a Muslim next town from
Bethlehem by the name of Muhammad Deib, who was looking for a lost
sheep. From that discovery they
found the rest of the Old Testament which confirmed the Old Testament
Bible in our hands today with hundreds of verses predicting the coming
of Jesus Christ!
I had to read the
Bible to know who Jesus really is to find out for
myself - and God finally led me to get to the bottom line...."
With ISLAM, with devout muslims, every failure, every inconsistency, is
explained by a supposed conspiracy
against muslims, .....with
the
inevitable accusations made against the 'adversaries' of Allah.
:-)
Psalms
34:21
Evil shall slay the wicked: and they
that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
Such a pathetic, inconsistent, violent, psychotic, depraved, creed -
that is ISLAM.
The
real
power of ISLAM [to overcome 'un-belief'], is drawn from ISLAM's
emphasis, in the use of deception and
falsehood on the one hand, and in generating extreme fear
among its very own adherents [through the use of threats, and actual
violence against any 'dissenters'].
In effect....
"You
must join ISLAM, or you will suffer violence or death [at our hands]!"
"You must remain within ISLAM, or you
will suffer violence or death
[at our hands]!"
Within ISLAM, ....there is no joy,
only
fear and bondage.
Personally, I would be
ashamed
to be identified as being a muslim.
Being a muslim, .....a choice alternating between being an
immoral thug, or being a moral coward, depending on your position
[relating to others] within ISLAM's 'social' hierarchy!
I personally wish that muslims could come to the TRUTH.
Personally, I believe [and wish] that more muslims should read the
Koran [
read a translation of
the Koran in
their own
language,
to learn what the Koran
really
promotes].
Personally i pray that muslims would abandon Allah, and abandon their
cleric's
who preach
hatred,
abandon the local mosque, and read the Bible by themselves, and pray to
the God of the Bible

And, i would encourage all muslims to read the traditional Bible, which
pre-dates the Koran.
We are all
the spiritual
children of God -
if we
ourselves
choose to
be!
Romans
8:14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
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:
Hebrews 2:14
¶Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood,
he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he
might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their
lifetime subject to bondage.
John
10:9
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall
go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for
to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have
life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Consider your life....
I believe that [because of the
influence of this world] we
humans, are largely unaware that we are
spiritual beings - and 'locked' within this
physical shroud, that we call a body.
This life [I believe] is a spiritual
'walk', of personal, self
exploration.
And so, what 'path' will you
choose
to tred, while you are here?
What is that you say?
This
talk of God, Allah, etc, is all phooey!
And you do not believe, ....that
humans
are spiritual
beings.
As always in this life....
That is your choice!
After all, modern man is in possession of so much knowledge today.
So much so, that today [in this 'modern' world], a rational
person can not [should not!] believe in an unseen God.
That is the 'argument'.
But i would reply, that a rational person should form
his
beliefs from
his own experience,
and not be cajoled to believe something, just
because
most everyone else does!
I would suggest...
This life is not so much a personal struggle, so that you might in the
end 'obtain'
the [a] 'destination' -
unless you consider physical 'death' the destination.
Rather this 'life' is a struggle, allowing you to undertake your personal journey - towards LIFE.
Do you wish to enquire into these 'things'?
All that i can suggest is that you read Gods word, the Bible [i prefer
the KJV].
And perhaps do a little 'navel-gazing' too. [meditation, and prayer]
To those that do study the Bible, its words will soon reveal it to be a
living thing!
The contents, the stories, and the knowledge which the
Bible contains, is somehow intrinsically joined with mankind.
If you can think of each individual human, as a kind of a 'lock', then
think of the Bible as a kind of a master 'key'.
Place the 'key' in the 'lock', and turn it!
Revelation
3:19
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and
repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door,
and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in
to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
The Bible can speak to the heart of a man.
And gaining understanding from reading it, will reveal where your
spiritual 'base' is,
currently.
And from that point, you can then better choose your steps forward, from that point.
[Those steps we take each day, are
always our
choice.]
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?
Every journey here [in this life], is a
personal journey.
We don't need a 'Church', or a 'preacher', or an imam.
.....we need to read our Bibles, and to pray directly to God, our redeemer.
see also... Deuteronomy 4:26-31
I urge you to...
Seek
your God.
To the Jihadists, and to all
those who follow the teachings of ISLAM,
today.
To all those who choose
war, violence and murder, in this world.
To all of those who claim the sanctity of their 'god', Allah.
Understand this, Moses was a meek man, a justified man.
He did no murder.
And, Moses was the servant
of God...
Numbers 12:2
And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not
spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.
3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were
upon the face of the earth.)
1 Chronicles 28:2
Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my
brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to build an
house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the
footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building:
3 But God said
unto me, Thou shalt not
build an house for my name, because thou hast been a man of war, and
hast shed blood.
1 Chronicles 28:6
And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my
courts: for I have chosen
him to be my son, and I will be his father.
1 Chronicles 28:9
And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve
him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts,
and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou
seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will
cast thee off for ever.
Proverbs 6:16
These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto
him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent
blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift
in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord
among brethren.
Proverbs 30:1
¶The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man
spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
2 Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the
understanding of a man.
3 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath
gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment?
who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and
what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
5 Every word of God is
pure: he is a shield unto them that put
their trust in him.
Ecclesiastes 8:8
There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit;
neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in
that war; neither shall
wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
9 ¶All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every
work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth
over another to his own hurt.
10 And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the
place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had
so done: this is also vanity.
11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed
speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them
to do evil.
12 Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be
prolonged, yet surely I know
that it shall be well with them that fear
God, which fear before him:
Jeremiah 22:1
¶Thus saith the LORD; Go down to the house of the king of Judah,
and speak there this word,
2 And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that
sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy
people that enter in by these gates:
3 Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and
deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong,
do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood
in this place.
Jeremiah 22:17
But thine eyes and thine
heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood,
and for oppression,
and for violence, to
do it.
Romans 8:26
¶Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not
what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh
intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that
searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit,
because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of
God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them
that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
The Jihadists of ISLAM may
rage, against the Jews, against those who are identified
as God's people, but...
God records, "I will.....put
hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth,"
Still time enough, for those in this world,
if we would, to take
another
path,
and to, .....Fear [respect] God.
Fear the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
.....whose name is Yahweh.
Every
day, embrace life!
But always remember that...
Today is a good day to die.
Isn't life great!
We get to choose!
