The Islamic Dilemma -

The Islamic dilemma even goes further than this!

Today, Muslim apologists say that the New Testament writings (The Gospel) of the Christians have been "corrupted". 

But they admit that they cannot produce what they would consider an uncorrupted manuscript of the NT writings.   Therefore, how could they prove corruption?  They can't because they don't have a reference to prove their claim of manuscript corruption.  

All they can do is deny over 5000 ancient documented first century manuscripts which are all up to 98% similar to each other.    Lets remember that NO ancient writings of antiquity saved today even comes close to that number.  

Islam was established roughly 600 years AFTER the writings of the Apostles (what the Islamic writings call "The Gospel").  

They acknowledge the scriptures of old when referring to the Christians and Jews as "The people of the book".  

The Old Testament scriptures of the Jews testifies to the prophesies concerning the coming of the Messiah to establish a NEW covenant.


The NT writers clearly testify that the OT scriptures testifies to the coming of The Messiah as identified as Jesus of Nazareth.     Jesus Himself said that He came to "fulfill the scriptures" of old.

The early church spread the Gospel and laid the foundation of Christianity by demonstrating that Jesus IS indeed the fulfillment of the scriptures.   







Then the New Testament writings/teachings along with the Old Testament scriptures were clearly accessible to Muhammad as clearly revealed in the Islamic writings.

Although, it is said that Muhammad was illiterate, the Gospel of Christ at that time was being passed down more verbally than read through scriptures because of the persecution of the church.


In the NT writings, The Gospel of Jesus Christ; His death, burial and resurrection where clearly stated and revealed. 

The Gospel was made clear by all the writers of the NT and among those writings, The Apostle Paul
warns:  

" And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works".
- 2 Corinthians 11:14-15

" But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed".
- Galatians 1:8-9

So we see that it is taught pretty seriously that any gospel other than that which the apostles were teaching if being spread either by MAN OR EVEN AN ANGEL, should be severely rejected and the person spreading that false gospel, CURSED!

It is clear.




And Muhammad having this warning taught and understood EVEN THEN, should have taken heed to those teachings and warnings but instead quite obviously rebelled against the true Word of God.


*** We can know FOR SURE what the early Christians were teaching,  proclaiming and dying for in 600 AD and further on just as we can know what they're teaching, proclaiming and dying for TODAY. 


Jesus said: 

 " ... upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it".


                                                  -  Matthew 16:18

Amen!

Today in the news:

In the news today:

"The House Select Committee on Benghazi" already started off on the wrong foot. 

In an effort to find "The Truth" of what happen two years ago in Benghazi, wearing masks of loyalty to country and the people who make up this proud nation, they lift up their right hands, place their left on their hearts, and swear to "tell the truth, the whole truth, and noting but the truth... ", and then decided to keep God out of the traditional oath as stated since the foundation of our country ...

"So help me God".   God was left out of the oath, and so you can expect Truth to be left out of the hearings.  It's that simple.

Who are they making an oath to???  Who are they swearing to???   To men???    When men make oaths to more men, what we get is chaos not truth!  

Good "luck" finding truth in these proceedings, you're going to need it in the massive hay of politics. 

To DEATH with love -

While Pres. Obama tries not to offend Muslims everywhere else around the world, by claiming that they don't represent Islam",  he's making an even bigger mistake by denying history and the current reality that ALL demonic, blood- thirsty murderers like ISIS claim Islam.   The writing is on the wall and we can't pretend that we don't know how to read it.

If Muslims around the world want to stand up and make the argument that ISIS is NOT representing Islam, then let THEM do so while at the same time publicly damning ISIS' actions.   Let all those "moderate" Muslim groups damn ISIS and the growing list of other extremist Jihad groups around the world. 

The media also needs to show "moderate" Muslim groups around the world protesting all of these extremist groups because as of right now, we haven't seen enough of them.    Too many times, what we do see is conservative news outlets interviewing Muslim representatives, who cannot or refuse to call ISIS and other extremist groups "Terrorists".


And as much as no one wants to see American "boots on the ground", that's exactly where this is going.  We're hearing news of other middle east countries joining the fight against the spread of ISIS but more has to be done.   

A third Westerner was beheaded in a video that was sent in efforts to intimidate the United States.  Many are saying that "ISIS is coming to America".   Fact is, they're probably already here, and waiting to strike not in random hits within our cities but in a bigger way to create more devastation.

In the last year, there have been a number of security breaches where people have gained access to major NYC sites.   You have to wonder how prepared are we for terror acts in the city since 9/11?? 



These are signs of the times.    The Bible describes this type of evil that dwells in the hearts of men who have been given over to hatred.   The Bible teaches that murder breeds in the heart.

Many people seeing what's going on in the Middle East can't understand this type of evil. 

Normally, when this type of evil is exhibited in our own communities, the blame is always shifted to mental illness or to a person who themselves have been abused.  

But evil is a reality.  Psychology, Psychiatry and Science has not given us the truth on what evil is ....

But the Bible has.
