The Islamic Hatred For Christ And Christianity
The Koran is first and foremost a total rejection of Christianity. Jesus Christ is utterly denied as both the divine Son of God and the Redeemer of men by His Blood. Here is a direct quote. “Verily they are disbelievers and infidels who say, The messiah, son of Mary, is God” (Qur’an 5:17). Again, the Koran says, “They are surely infidels who blaspheme and say: God is Christ, the Messiah, the son of Mary. But the Messiah only said: O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your God” (Qur’an 5:72). There is no possible way that such language can be construed as acceptable to a Bible believer. Anyone that denies Jesus Christ has no right to claim Christianity. They are lost and without hope. The beauty of our Faith is we still love every Muslim and passionately pray for their salvation. No true Christian can hate an unbeliever, regardless of the hatred that unbelievers may have toward us. As a nation, Americans must love the Islamic people, but be determined to stop their infiltration of our culture. Our president appears to want the Muslims to become intimate citizens of this nation, but they have proven that they want to convert us to their culture. I do not believe there is but one answer to stopping their goals. A Holy Ghost revival and a new revelation of Jesus Christ is our HOPE. Lifting up the exalted Christ and proclaiming Him with a new devotion will stop any work of evil that exists. I believe the Book of Revelation is what needs to saturate the churches and through the churches saturate our nation. It is the Revelation of Jesus Christ for these last days.
NEXT WEEK: “When Islam Marches On Israel,” the world will know that our God is the one and only & “true and living God.”

Hello Pastor Joseph.
Once in a rare while I have a different outlook and here you brought up a point that I personally wrestle with often mainly: Where does one draw the line about loving one’s enemies or standing against evil?
For example, should Christians follow any government that is not content with “rendering unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s,” but wishes to also have the things that are rightfully God’s? This was the case in ancient Rome where many of the ancient Roman Emperors who manadated that they be worshipped? (Which innumerable Christian martyrs refused to do.) I don’t think we should.
Would Jesus expect his followers to turn the other cheek if in so doing innocent people were harmed? I think not.
I see in Islam today Satan at work in an even larger and more dangerous way than he was with the Nazis of Hitler’s Germany. With all due respect, I doubt we are going to “love” these people into turning away from their hatred of the God of Abraham, Jesus Christ, Christians, Jews, and all of those outside their religion.
In the end, of course, God wins, but until that time I don’t think we Christians can avoid doing battle with this evil. I also don’t think there will be time for any major revival either since apostasy and a lukewarm church are what the Bible reveals will characterize the days before the Tribulation begins.
Looks to me that this is where we are right now!
Now I always find your articles worthy reads, your faith solid and inspiring even if I don’t always agree.

The lord said to love our enemies and pray for those who may be troublesome (my paraphrase). If we obey, we have nothing to fear and we will most likely see that revival Pastor Joseph writes of. Just think, some of today’s Arab Muslims could very well be blood relatives of the Lord and the ancient Israelites! They are all wonderful people and God’s creatures besides. Beware of dehumanizing any group, that’s what politicians do when they want to create an enemy, “krauts, japs, gooks, terrorists, hajjies, etc.” Bind the evil spirits instead. Police them if they are committing crimes, maybe give them a little birth control too…. I really believe there will be a major revival. The kind that touches everyone and impacts the whole culture, not the sandbox type going on today. God knows how to do stuff!

Hello Sir,
I always enjoy your writing as it is solid. I do agree with Ed Wood on this mainly because I believe that he is correct in his assessment. It doesn’t mean that we should not be staunch Christians but it does mean that we should take a strong stand. I lived in Morocco in 1971 for a while and had friends who were palestinian, lebanese, Arabic, syrian and they were discussing back then what they were going to do to make the USA pay for backing Israel. And they have done what they said. No, we must maintain a strong stance and offensive line against them. Gentleness does not work.
We have Obama who truly believes Islam will win and he is the key to the religion growing in this nation of our. We have to be prepared to even do physical battle against them with The Lord’s help.

I believe without a doubt that islam is of satan & mohammad was infested by demons. I believe mohammad was not human but rather was contolled by satan. islam is the definition of evil, in Psalms 97 vs 10, the Bible says, “Those who live GOD hate evil.” I am most definitly a Christian and I do love GOD and although I don’t hate muslims, because they don’t know the Truth, I do hate islam and mohammad because of the evil this cult and their founder exudes and their hate for The One True Living GOD (as opposed to a nonexistent idol-allah), I hate their cult and their founder!!!

I am a literal believer. If the church did not throw out the old Testament they would have a better, clearer picture of what we should do. In the last three scriptures of Isiah , G-d speaking of the New Jerusalem tells us HE is coming to destroy the enemies of Israel, His enemies and those who destroy the earth. In the old Testament He warned of those who suport the enemies of G-d and anyone who doesn’t bless Israel is cursed. All thru the bible G-d protected the Jews and Christians and made sure millions of enemies were killed. the church today suports the enemies of Israel, and now even the Catholic church says they are no longer the chosen and no land Covenant. To add to or take away from G-d’s word is an amomination. He tells us to fight the good fight and if we do, the gates of hell cannot prevail against us. He tells the Jews to kill or strike the ones who try to take the land. Love your neighbor, yes. do good to those who despitefull use you, yes. To suport evil who even want to kill your family and take your land, you are to fight. everyone has the right to protect what is theirs especaily their families or whoever. No common sense, not many can read or try. we are not even to learn the ways of the heathen, much less suport them or learn their ways. WE are to tell them three times of the gospel. if they say no, from such turn away. many have gotten saved, we are to pray, but to hold them up as friends NO. the ones who do not believe Jesus is G-d, is dead already..

This is in response to Ed Woods comments.
There is a genuine concern about the spread of Islam. We are commanded in Scripture to love our enemies and surely they are our enemies. However we can speak the truth to and about our enemies and do it in love. This is not a natural love but a supernatural love such as Stephen had for those who stoned him when he asked God to forgive them because they did not know what they were doing in their actions against him. We can also oppose the spread of Islam politicially because of its harm to our country and still oppose Muslims in love.
As to an end time revival. I think Ed has a point in that the Bible does speak to last days apostacy. But Scripture also reveals that the fields are white for harvest and from what I’m hearing and reading there are many being saved in countries where Christianity is not an accepted religion. So it is not unbiblical to think that there can be both apostacy and revival.

Sir,
Your comment on India and Hinduism got me thinking.
There are some Islamic schools of thought that consider that Hinduism, Buddhism and several other flavors of the lollypop acknowledge Hazrat Mahdi, though their sacred writings are in error.
From Islamic point of view: “A leader will appear, He will conquer the world, and take the whole world and place it in his own faith.” He will place the world in Islam. This is the Hazrat Mahdi aka the twelfth Imam.
The Hindu Upanishads say, “In the final times, tenth avatar will totally intellectually demolish the evil, like a comet on a white steed, and he will totally renew creation and restore goodness.” Just like the Mahdi he will ride the white steed of conquest.
From the Vedas: Kalki the “White Horse Avatar” is the last manvantaric incarnation of Vishnu, according to the Brahmins.
This lines up with the Buddhist Kalachakra tradition that prophesies a future religious war. Though Buddhists are pacifists.
The 12 Imam also bears resemblance to the Sosiosh, the last hero and Savior of the Zoroastrians.
I suspect that when the antichrist presents himself he will fit in well as the savior many of the world religions. The result of some solid planning over thousands of years.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 2 Thessalonians 2:11 KJV
Shalom,
Tom

In the bible there are powerful, thought-provoking truths about Jesus Christ, our Lord and saviour, which are also confirmed in the Quran and other religious books, clearly stating that Jesus is the God and creator.Jn.1:1-3.
The Bible confirms God as saying “He will exalt himself among the heathens(unbelievers)” Ps.46:10, the Spirit and the word of God that speaks in the above text is Jesus according to several texts of the Quran,eg. Surah 4:171,19:17,3:45 etc.
It is unwise for none christians to continue in the habit of personally being offended(getting angry)by what is factually and logically pointed out in the Quran. Instead,such none christians should humble themselves and think on how such facts affect them and not how it affects their religion.In other words, we should see those errors and lies pointed out in the book titled “MY HATRED FOR CHRIST AND CHRSTIANITY”, a case study by a former Islamic Cleric, Evan.O.O.Paul,urging his moslem friends to correct their ways of thinking, and to LOVE God and fellow men in order to make heaven.
The question is, WHERE WILL YOU SPEND YOUR ETERNITY? HELL OR HEAVEN?

Jesus Christ is our Lord and Saviour. Any other is conterfeit.
