These guys don't joke at all,Shinzo said,we are coming for all of you.I laughed at first like this man is serious,then it dawned on me,that shiiitt,its fucking Japan speaking undecided
Most people don't know how crazy the Japanese are, we haven't heard from them since the 2nd world war because their constitution forbids them to fight in wars following adjustments after Hiroshima, Nagasaki and their debacle in pearl harbour.

Since 2013/2014 the Japanese have been working to remove the "no fighting" clause from their law hence allowing them to contribute to allied insurgency fighting effort.. This is the excuse they finally needed to show the world u don't mess with the decendants of the samuria. They will not forget..

Mathematical:
..ok accepted.buh why the indiffernce,why didnt christains and the jews embrace the acceptance of jesus
Jews are historically stubborn people and have rejected or killed a lot of their past prophets. Some Jews are still waiting for a messiah but according to old testament prophesy, Jesus was that messiah, unfortunately some Jews believe that the messiah will be a king that will rule the world... This is why Jesus was accussed of blasphemy and killed when he said he was the Son of God and one with God.

This topic requires a deep understanding of the old testament and christain theology.
delishpot mentioned above how the Jews outrightly reject Jesus, what she forgets to mention or maybe she doesn't know that all the early christains were Jews. Alot of the thousand that were killed in early christain history for accepting Christ were Jews. Paul(then called Saul) a Jew was hunting Jews who accepted Christ until he too bent the knee and was called to be one of the greatest of christains. It was more common to see a Jewish christain than to see a gentile/ foreign christain.

A lot of Jews accepted Christ was the son of God and today there are millions of Jewish christains. Judaism is the only purely monotheist religion in a surface understanding of the word... Christains pray to God the father and the Son while Muslims invoke Mohammed..christains prove from scripture that God the son and holy sprirt are one while Muslims claim they just greet Mohamed but pray to allah(remember Mohammed is not ominipresent, hence he can't hear Muslims)


Jews also call themselves children of God, and humbly say they serve God hence they also refer to themselves as servants of God but never slaves of allah, God is a father to his children and loves all his creature, unlike allah wh Mohammed says in quran is the father to No one and Muslims are his slaves... so yes christains and Jews refer to them selves as children of God. Jews also call them selves God's chosen people but they forget that they were chosen as the channel through which the messiah, Jesus Christ will be born..this is why they had to maintain a high level of righteousness and went through a lot of tough times in the OT when they disobeyed God.

More Jews keep converting to christainity, however Judaism is part and parcel of their culture..

Listened to Japanese PM Shinzo Abe's speech on CNN this morning,he has vowed Japanese interesting in wiping out those mudafucking bloodbathing demons ISIS.

Japanese don't mess with their citizens just like the US.They are ready to rain terror on anyone,group or country that harms its citizens the way they tortured China for decades in the past.

ISIS is in for a tough one this time.
There are 3 countries u don't mess with,
The Israelis,
The Americans
And the Japanese.

The Japanese won't forget this episode with Islam..

OREMUSSANCTUS:
ifeann, let's leave babe alone, guess she is d funky type of muslim. She was born into d religion ya know. Just as apostle Paul, until he converted he was zealous to go kill christians. Datz how I see most muslims, sometimes dey wish dey were christians dat is d grls. Ve a frnd dat told me she would ve luved to marry a christian cos she is sure dat she will ve her man to herself. Dat she can't imagine her sharing her husband wif anoda woman, I pitied her cos she is from a too religious family. I just told her ya ve to obey ya law and die in silence and punishment or convert. She was really sober, den I asked her she said islam permits a man marrying anoda wife, its a rite for d men to. Pity d women so much.
What do u expect. Its a religion that says women are half as intelligent as men

And that men can beat their wifes.

Quran 4:34:
" Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great."

See what The bible tells us,

Ephesians 5:25
Husbands, LOVE YOUR WIVES,
even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

Colossians 3:19
Husbands, LOVE YOUR WIVES,
and
be NOT BITTER against them.

See more from the religion of "peace"
Qur'an (38:44) -
"And take in your hand a green branch
AND BEAT HER WITH IT,"

Sahih Muslim 8:29: “IT IS PERMISSIBLE TO HAVE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH A CAPTIVE WOMAN AFTER SHE IS PURIFIED (OF MENSES OR DELIVERY) IN CASE SHE HAS A HUSBAND, HER MARRIAGE IS ABROGATED AFTER SHE BECOMES CAPTIVE.”
Sahih Muslim 8:3432: “Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that at the Battle of Hunain Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) sent an army to Autas and encountered the enemy and fought with them. Having overcome them and taken them captives, the Companions of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) seemed to refrain from having intercourse with captive women because of their husbands being polytheists. Then Allah, Most High, sent down regarding that:" And women already married, except those whom your right hands possess (verse 4:24)" (i.e., they were lawful for them when their 'Idda period came to an end).”

Jesus says the Greatest Commandment is "Love God and love thy neighbor as thyself." (Matthew 22:34-40)
Muhammad’s greatest Commandments? "Belief in Allah and Jihad in His cause" (Muslim 1:149)


22
Muhammad demanded the protection of armed bodyguards, even in a house of worship (Qur'an 4:102)
Jesus chastised anyone attempting to defend him with force. (John 18:10-12)

23
Jesus demanded nothing for himself and Died without possessions.
Muhammad got fat, was poisoned by a woman whom he collected her goat meat and ate, suffered for 4 years and then died, a wealthy man from what was taken from others in war or demanded from others in tribute.

24
Jesus was crucified himself.
Muhammad advocated crucifying others.
(Qur'an 5:33, Muslim 16:4131)


and finally,

25
I want you to recall their dying words…..who looks like he died with hate in his heart and who looks like he died with love in his.

Lets take a look;
Jesus said , “Father forgive them, for they know not what they are doing.” Luke 23:34:
While Muhammad spoke the following words while dying, “ May Allah curse the Jews and Christians.” Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 8, Number 427:
Narrated ‘Aisha and ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas: When the last moment of the life of Allah’s Apostle came he started putting his ‘Khamisa’ on his face and when he felt hot and short of breath he took it off his face and said , “May Allah curse the Jews and Christians for they built the places of worship at the graves of their Prophets.”

Muslims don't believe that Jesus paid the price for the sins of those who accept his message and also accept him as lord and savior (Christians) but yet their hadith teaches them this;
Sahih Muslim 6666--Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: No Muslim would die but Allah would admit in his stead a Jew or a Christian in Hell-Fire.
And this,
Sahih Muslim 6668--Allah's Messenger [said]: There would come people amongst the Muslims on the Day of Resurrection with as heavy sins as a mountain, and Allah would forgive them and He would place in their stead the Jews and the Christians.

I have to warn u Muslims that Christians and Jews can't take away your sins. . We don't have that power. You were lied to.


Only Christ can do this, only he can take ur sins away. Please accept him.

Christianity Etc › Re: Revert To Islam by Ifeann(f): 12:30pm On Feb 01, 2015
Reason #9:
Islam cannot be from God because the Qur'an frequently contradicts
the Bible.
The Qur'an advocates the beating of wives who are perceived
to be misbehaving.
Qur'an - 4:34 Men are the protectors and maintainers of women,
because Allâh has made one of them to excel the other, and because
they spend (to support them) from their means. Therefore the
righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allâh and to their
husbands), and guard in the husband's absence what Allâh orders
them to guard (e.g. their chastity, their husband's property, etc.).
As to those women on whose part you see ill-conduct, admonish them
(first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them
(lightly, if it is useful), but if they return to obedience, seek not
against them means (of annoyance). Surely, Allâh is Ever Most High,
Most Great.
The Bible teaches that man is to love his wife and treat her as
his own body.
Ephesians 5:25-29, 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also
loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify
and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he
might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or
wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without
blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He
that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his
own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the
church:
Surely God will not change his mind about such a significant
principle in husband and wife relationships. The Quranic ideal
is contrary to the teaching of the New Testament.






Reason #10:
Islam cannot be from God because it denies the crucifixion of Jesus.
The central figure of the New Testament is Jesus. From his
temptations in the desert to the resurrection, the focus of Jesus is
his death on the cross to provide a sacrifice for mankind's sin. The
Qur'an denies that Jesus died on the cross and that would then
preclude his resurrection. It is the contention of Islam that God took
Jesus into heaven and transformed Judas to look like Jesus. The
teach that it was actually Judas who died on the cross.
Qur'an 4:157. That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus The
son of Mary, The apostle of Allah"; But they killed him not, Nor
crucified him, But so it was made To appear to them, And those who
differ Therein are full of doubts, With no (certain) knowledge, But
only conjecture to follow, For of a surety, They killed him not.
The Bible clearly and plainly teaches that Jesus was crucified
on the cross.
Matthew 27:35, 35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments,
casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the
prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my
vesture did they cast lots.
1 Corinthians 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a
stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
Christianity Etc › Re: Revert To Islam by Ifeann(f): 12:27pm On Feb 01, 2015
Reason #7:
Islam cannot be from God because it is based upon a document, the
Qur'an, made after God said revelation was finished.
Paul said that revelation would come to an end: 1 Corinthians 13:8,
Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall
fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be
knowledge, it shall vanish away.
Jude 3 tells us that the faith was fully delivered: Jude 3, Beloved,
when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation,
it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye
should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered
unto the saints.
Peter said that every thing that was necessary for man to be
pleasing to God had been revealed.
2 Peter 1:3, According as his divine power hath given unto us all
things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge
of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:







Reason #8:
Islam cannot be from God because it is based upon the Qur'an which has
internal contradictions. Any revelation from God will be consistent
within itself. It will not contain internal contradictions. Since the Qur'an
does contain internal contradictions, it cannot be from God, and any
religion that is based upon it is not from God.
The Qur'an says that man was created from a clot of blood.
Qur'an 96:1. Proclaim (or Read) In the Name Of thy Lord and
Cherisher, Who created- 2. Created man out of A (mere) clot Of
congealed blood;
The Qur'an says that man was created from was created from
clay.
Qur'an 6:2 (Also 7:12) 2. He it is Who created You from clay, and
then Decreed a stated term (For you). And there is In His Presence
another Determined term; yet Ye doubt within yourselves!
The Qur'an says that man was created from was created from
water.
Qur'an 25:54. It is He Who has Created man from water: Then has He
established Relationships of lineage And marriage: for thy Lord Has
power (over all things).
These are internal contradictions that indicate the origin of
the Qur'an was not the mind of God, but the mind of man,
Muhammad.
Christianity Etc › Re: Revert To Islam by Ifeann(f): 12:23pm On Feb 01, 2015
Reason #6:
Islam cannot be from God because its morality is inferior to the
morality taught by the New Testament. In examining the contradictions
between the Bible and the Qur'an, we encountered Jesus' teaching that
we were to love and pray for our enemies while the Qur'an says to fight
and kill your enemies. There is a tremendous gap in the standard of
morality between the two standards. Which is more likely to be from
God, the high standard of morality, or the low standard of morality?
Christianity Etc › Re: Revert To Islam by Ifeann(f): 12:21pm On Feb 01, 2015
Reason #5:
Islam cannot be from God because its appeal is to man's lower nature
rather than his higher nature. Compare the Biblical appeal of heaven to
the Quranic appeal of heaven.
The Biblical Appeal
Matthew 5:10-12, 10. Blessed are they which are persecuted for
righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed
are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say
all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and
be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so
persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Peter 1:3-4, 3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us
again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the
dead, 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that
fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
Mark 12:24-25, 24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not
therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the
power of God? 25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they
neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels
which are in heaven.
Revelation 7:9-17, 9. After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude,
which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people,
and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed
with white robes, and palms in their hands; 10 And cried with a loud
voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne,
and unto the Lamb. 11 And all the angels stood round about the
throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before
the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 12 Saying, Amen:
Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and
power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. 13 And
one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which
are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 14 And I said
unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which
came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and
made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore are they
before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his
temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. 16
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the
sun light on them, nor any heat. 17 For the Lamb which is in the
midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living
fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their
eyes.
The Qur'an makes a large portion of its appeal to the fleshly
appetites and sensibilities of man.
Qur'an 37: 40. But the sincere (and devoted) Servants of Allah, 41.
For them is a Sustenance Determined, 42. Fruits (Delights) and they
(Shall enjoy) honor and dignity, 43. In Gardens of Felicity, 44.
Facing each other On Thrones (of dignity): 45. Round will be passed
To them a Cup From a clear flowing fountain, 46. Crystal white, of a
taste Delicious to those Who drink (thereof), 47. Free from
headiness; Nor will they suffer Intoxication there from. 48. And
beside them will be Chaste women, restraining Their glances, with
big eyes (Of wonder and beauty) 49. As if they were (Delicate) eggs
closely guarded.
Qur'an 4:57. But those who believe And do deeds of righteousness,
We shall soon admit to Gardens, With rivers flowing beneath, - Their
eternal home; Therein shall they have Companions [wives, NR] pure
and holy; We shall admit them To shades, cool and ever deepening.
Qur'an 44:51. As to the Righteous (They will be) in A position of
Security, 52. Among Gardens and Springs; 53. Dressed in fine silk
And in rich brocade, They will face each other; 54. So; and We shall
Join them to Companions With beautiful big And lustrous eyes. 55.
There can they call For every kind of fruit In peace and security; 56.
Nor will they there Taste Death, except the first Death: and He will
preserve Them from the Penalty Of the Blazing Ffirst Death: and He will
preserve Them from the Penalty Of the Blazing Fire.
Which makes its appeal to the higher nature of man? The
Bible does.
Which is more likely to be from God - that which appeals to
man's higher nature, or that which appeals to his baser
nature? The Bible is more likely to be from God than the
Qur'an because its appeal is to man's higher nature, while the
appeal of the Qur'an is to man's lower nature.
Christianity Etc › Re: Revert To Islam by Ifeann(f): 12:19pm On Feb 01, 2015
Reason #3:
Islam cannot be from God because it denies the Godhood of Jesus. In
the Qur'an, Muhammad takes great pains to deny the deity of Jesus. It
demeans Jesus and makes him just a man. In Philippians, Paul asserts
that Jesus existed in the form of God.
Qur'an 4:171 "O people of the book! Commit no excesses in your
religion: nor say of God naught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son
of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of God, and His Word, which
He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: So believe
in God and His messengers..."
(Philippians 2:5-9, NAS95) 5 Have this attitude in yourselves which
was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He existed in the form of
God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but
emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being
made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man,
He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death,
even death on a cross. 9 For this reason also, God highly exalted Him,
and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,
Reason #4:
Islam cannot be from God because Muhammad frequently changed his
revelations to suit circumstances. The classic example is Muhammad's
teaching on drinking. When he was just beginning to teach, before
Muhammad gained a significant following he said that it was alright to
drink.
Qur'an 2:219 They ask you Concerning wine; gambling, Say "In them
is great sin, And some profit for men; But the sin is greater Than
the profit.
As his power base grew, he presented a stronger position. It
was not acceptable to have had any intoxicants close enough
to prayers to fog the mind.
Qur'an 4:43 O you who believe! Approach not prayer With a mind
befogged, Until you can understand All that you say.
When his position was strongly established, he forbade the use
of intoxicants entirely.
Qur'an 5:93 O you who believe! Intoxicants and gambling,
(Dedication) of stones, And (divination by) arrows, Are an
abomination, - Of Satan' handiwork: Eschew such (abomination)
That you may prosper. 94. Satan's plan is (but) To excite enmity and
hatred Between you, with intoxicants And gambling, and hinder you
From the remembrance Of Allah, and from prayer: Will you not then
abstain?
His final revelation calls the use of intoxicants "Satan's
handiwork." This puts him in the awkward position of having
had Allah approve of "Satan's Handiwork' when he said that
there was "some profit for men" in the use of intoxicants.
Does God vacillate on sin?
Christianity Etc › Re: Revert To Islam by Ifeann(f): 12:18pm On Feb 01, 2015
Reason #2:
Islam cannot be from God because Muhammad's teaching does not pass
the second test God gave for a prophet. Deuteronomy 13:1-4 tells us
that no prophet will bring a revelation that is in conflict with previous
revelation. His revelation must agree with the previous revelation of God.
Deuteronomy 13:1-4
Deuteronomy 13:1-4, 1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a
dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, 2 And the
sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee,
saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and
let us serve them; 3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that
prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth
you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart
and with all your soul. 4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and
fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye
shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
Muhammad's revelation contradicts the previous revelations
in both facts and principles. Consider the account of Joseph. In
the Qur'an, Qur'an 12, Yusuf Beginning in Ayah 21.
Qur'an 12:21-34, 21. And the Egyptian who bought him said to his
wife: Give him an honorable abode, maybe he will be useful to us, or
we may adopt him as a son. And thus did We establish Yusuf in the
land and that We might teach him the interpretation of sayings;
and Allah is the master of His affair, but most people do not know.
22. And when he had attained his maturity, We gave him wisdom and
knowledge: and thus do We reward those who do good. 23. And she in
whose house he was sought to make himself yield (to her), and she
made fast the doors and said: Come forward. He said: I seek Allah's
refuge, surely my Lord made good my abode: Surely the unjust do
not prosper. 24. And certainly she made for him, and he would have
made for her, were it not that he had seen the manifest evidence
of his Lord; thus (it was) that We might turn away from him evil and
indecency, surely he was one of Our sincere servants. 25. And they
both hastened to the door, and she rent his shirt from behind and
they met her husband at the door. She said: What is the punishment
of him who intends evil to your wife except imprisonment or a painful
chastisement? 26. He said: She sought to make me yield (to her);
and a witness of her own family bore witness: If his shirt is rent
from front, she speaks the truth and he is one of the liars: 27. And
if his shirt is rent from behind, she tells a lie and he is one of the
truthful. 28. So when he saw his shirt rent from behind, he said:
Surely it is a guile of you women; surely your guile is great: 29. O
Yusuf! turn aside from this; and (O my wife)! ask forgiveness for
your fault, surely you are one of the wrong-doers. 30. And women in
the city said: The chiefs wife seeks her slave to yield himself (to
her), surely he has affected her deeply with (his) love; most surely
we see her in manifest error. 31. So when she heard of their sly talk
she sent for them and prepared for them a repast, and gave each
of them a knife, and said (to Yusuf): Come forth to them. So when
they saw him, they deemed him great, and cut their hands (in
amazement), and said: Remote is Allah (from imperfection); this is
not a mortal; this is but a noble angel. 32. She said: This is he with
respect to whom you blamed me, and certainly I sought his yielding
himself (to me), but he abstained, and if he does not do what I bid
him, he shall certainly be imprisoned, and he shall certainly be of
those who are in a state of ignominy. 33. He said: My Lord! the
prison house is dearer to me than that to which they invite me; and
if Thou turn not away their device from me, I will yearn towards
them and become (one) of the ignorant. 34. Thereupon his Lord
accepted his prayer and turned away their guile from him; surely He
is the Hearing, the Knowing.


Now consider the same account from the Bible in Genesis
39:7-21
(Genesis 39:7-21, KJV) 7 And it came to pass after these things,
that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie
with me. 8 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold,
my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath
committed all that he hath to my hand; 9 There is none greater in
this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but
thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great
wickedness, and sin against God? 10 And it came to pass, as she
spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie
by her, or to be with her. 11 And it came to pass about this time,
that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was
none of the men of the house there within. 12 And she caught him
by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her
hand, and fled, and got him out. 13 And it came to pass, when she
saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, 14
That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them,
saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he
came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice: 15 And
it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried,
that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out. 16 And
she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home. 17 And she
spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew
servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock
me: 18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he
left his garment with me, and fled out. 19 And it came to pass, when
his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him,
saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was
kindled. 20 And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the
prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was
there in the prison.
Consider the differences in the facts presented about the lives
of the Biblical characters. In the Qur'an Potiphar was at the
door when Joseph fled. He wasn't at home in the Bible
Account. In the Qur'an, Potiphar believed Joseph while in the
Bible Potiphar believed his wife. In the Qur'an, Joseph
requested that he be put in prison so that he might avoid the
temptation of women and in the Bible, he was imprisoned by
Potiphar for accosting his wife. Surely it is easy to see the
differences. Joseph is just a sample. There are other
contradictions in almost every account of the lives of Bible
people. In the Qur'an, one of Noah's sons died in the flood
while in the Bible, all of them were on the ark. Compare the
Biblical account of Lot with the Qur'an's account of Lot (Lut in
the Qur'an-NR). In the Qur'an, Abraham's father was an
idolater and forced Abraham to leave home for trying to teach
monotheism, while the Biblical account has Abraham leaving
after his father's death.
Now consider just one principle that is set forth in the New
Testament with the principles set forth in the Qur'an.
The New Testament, Matthew 5:44, But I say unto you, Love your
enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you,
and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
The Qur'an, Qur'an 61, the Ranks, Ayah 4. Surely Allah loves those
who fight in His way in ranks as if they were a firm and compact
wall
The Qur'an, Qur'an 2, The Cow, Al Baqarah Ayah 190. And fight in
the way of Allah with those who fight with you, and do not exceed
the limits, surely Allah does not love those who exceed the limits.
191. And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from
whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than
slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until
they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them;
such is the recompense of the unbelievers.
What a contrast. Jesus says to love, forgive, and pray ffor your
enemies. The Qur'an says to kill them. If that isn't a different
doctrine than what was revealed, nothing is.
Christianity Etc › Re: Revert To Islam by Ifeann(f): 12:15pm On Feb 01, 2015
10 Reasons Islam Is Not From God
Reason #1:
Islam cannot be from God because the prophet of Islam, Muhammad, did
not pass God's first test for a prophet. Deuteronomy 18:21-22 tells us
that God will authenticate those He sends as a prophet by having them
perform signs. Muhammad gave no sign as required by God.
(Deuteronomy 18:21,22, NAS95) 21 "You may say in your heart, 'How
will we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?' 22 "When a
prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not come
about or come true, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken.
The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of
him.
Muslims recognize this and try to overcome the principle of
God confirming his revelation with signs by asserting that the
revelation of the Qur'an itself is a sign. When Muhammad was
challenged by the Jews and Christians to produce a sign, he
received a special revelation from Allah.
Qur'an 6:37-39, 36. And they said: "Why is not a sign sent down to
him from his Lord?" Say: "Allâh is certainly Able to send down a
sign, but most of them know not." 38. There is not a moving (living)
creature on earth, nor a bird that flies with its two wings, but are
communitie like you. We have neglected nothing in the Book, then
unto their Lord they (all) shall be gathered. 39. Those who reject
Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)
are deaf and dumb in darkness. Allâh sends astray whom He wills
and He guides on the Straight Path whom He wills.
Muslims claim that the Qur'an itself is the sign God gave
Muhammad.
Notice the difference in the Muslim claims and the evidence
put forward by the Hebrew writer in Hebrews 2:3-4,
"How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the
first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by
them that heard him; 4 God also bearing them witness, both with
signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy
Ghost, according to his own will?"

The Islamic State has beheaded Japanese journalist Kenji Goto, a convert to Christianity with a wife and two children.


sad
Our prayers and sympathy to the family of Mr. Kenji.

Christianity Etc › Japanese Journalist Kenji Goto Beheaded By ISIS by Ifeann(op): 5:47am On Feb 01, 2015
Japan reacted with shock and anger Sunday after an online video was released that appeared to show Islamic State executing Japanese journalist Kenji Goto -- the apparent end to a frantic past couple of days in which officials tried negotiating to save Goto’s life.

The video, called "A Message to the Government of Japan," featured a militant who looked and sounded like a militant with a British accent who has taken part in other beheading videos by the Islamic State group.


Goto, kneeling in an orange prison jumpsuit, said nothing in the roughly one-minute-long video.

"Abe," the militant says in the video, referring to the Japanese prime minister, "because of your reckless decision to take part in an unwinnable war, this knife will not only slaughter Kenji, but will also carry on and cause carnage wherever your people are found. So let the nightmare for Japan begin."

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe expressed outrage at the video that was released on militant websites.

"I feel indignation over this immoral and heinous act of terrorism," Abe told reporters after convening an emergency Cabinet meeting.

"When I think of the grief of his family, I am left without words," he said. "The government has been doing its utmost in responding to win his release, and we are filled with deep regrets."

He vowed that Japan will not give in to terrorism and will continue to provide humanitarian aid to countries fighting the Islamic State extremists.

The country was mourning a man who according to friends and family braved hardship and peril to convey through his work the plight of refugees, children and other victims of war and poverty.

"Kenji has died, and my heart is broken. Facing such a tragic death, I'm just speechless," Goto's mother Junko Ishido told reporters.

"I was hoping Keji might be able to come home," said Goto's brother, Junichi Goto. "I was hoping he would return and thank everyone for his rescue, but that's impossible, and I'm bitterly disappointed."

Ishido earlier told NHK TV her son's death showed he was a kind, gentle man, trying to save another hostage. That hostage, Haruna Yukawa, was shown as purportedly killed in an earlier video.

The White House released a statement late Saturday condemning what it called q "heinous murder."

"Our thoughts are with Mr. Goto’s family and loved ones, and we stand today in solidarity with Prime Minister Abe and the Japanese people in denouncing this barbaric act," the statement said.

The White House’s National Security Council issued a statement minutes after the release of the video stating intelligence officials are, as with similar recent videos, trying to verify its authenticity.

The hostage drama began last week after Islamic State threatened to kill Goto and fellow Japanese hostage Haruna Yukawa in 72 hours unless Japan paid $200 million.

A purported militant message released Jan. 24 claimed Yukawa had been killed.

The militants later demanded the release of Sajida al-Rishawi, who is on death row in Jordan for her role in a 2005 al Qaeda attack on hotels in Amman that killed 60 people.

Within hours, the militant group said it instead wanted al-Rishawi, 44, released in exchange for the life of hostage Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh, a Jordanian fighter pilot.

Late Friday, after the deadline for a deal had passed, Japan's deputy foreign minister, Yasuhide Nakayama, said that efforts to free Goto were "in a state of deadlock."

The 26-year-old al Kaseasbeh's plane went down in December over an Islamic State-controlled area of northeastern Syria.

He is the first foreign pilot to be captured by the group since a U.S.-led military coalition began carrying out airstrikes against the extremists in September. Jordan is part of the coalition.

Kaseasbeh's family said late Friday there has been no word about the 26-year-old pilot’s fate.

Goto was captured in October, after he traveled to Syria to try to win the release of Yukawa.

Jordan and Japan are reportedly conducting indirect negotiations with the militants through Iraqi tribal leaders.
