Blessings to you all who are reading this!
Well God has been doing some amazing things in my life lately, He has been bringing me into a new confidence, I have been speaking out more and more, it's been awesome.
God revealed a verse to me a few months ago, I had been having people ask me why I'm talking about their "religion" so I was asking God why He was having me do this, and He revealed this verse to me "Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them. " Ephesians 5:11
Islam is darkness, I have seen it's evils firsthand...it is full of double standards, hate, and oppression.
those of us in America have no idea, all most really know is what the media talks about, they dont really talk about the horrible things that happen in the name of islam.
child marriage, hate for the jews and israel, oppression of women, violence and terrorism in the name of islam, wife beating, persecution of any non muslim, etc etc etc....
the Job of Christians is to expose the darkness....now I am not talking about being hateful about it....when I talk about how islam says to fight the unbelievers I do not say this with anger or hate, I simply state the fact and here is the verses (Sura 9:29-30 and sura 8:12)
God comands that Christians Love EVERYONE even those who wish to kill us....that doesnt mean stay silent about the darkness and actions of islam....but that does mean speak kindly to the people you are talking to....
I see people all the time who while trying to expose islam, they then stoop to the level of those who are being hateful and they become equally hateful....that is not what Christians are commanded to do...we are called to expose the darkness but do so in a loving manner....
so I will continue to expose the lies of islam....I am detirmined, but I know that Jesus Lives and He loves muslims too but they live in darkness....so we expose the darkness and let the Light shine.

a question for muslims....(18+) -WARNING sexual content
this is taken from a Facebook Page: Islam is NOT a religion of peace
the admin there had seen my comments on another site talking about how the hadiths proove that muhammad had sex with a 9 year old child. (aisha)
so the Admin posted this question.
no muslim has ever been able to answer this question truthfully...
is it wrong for a 52 year old man to have sex with a 9 year old girl?
(hint: the MORAL answer is YES IT IS VERY WRONG!)

I know it's been a while since I've written anything, I have been very busy with work, and family and church.
anyway this is probably the boldest post I have ever done about islam...now this post contains sexual content....so if you get offended easily please do not read any further....
that being said....
if you answered the MORAL answer then you would have said yes that is VERY wrong for a man to do that...
if you are a muslim I will ask....then why do you follow a man who did?
now this post is mainly for muslims, but if you are not a muslim and you never knew this about muhammad then beware these verses from the hadith's I'm about to post were so sick to me and I've read some sick stuff in my lifetime.
Narrated Aisha: "The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became Alright, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, "Best wishes and Allah's Blessing and a good luck." Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah's Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age.
Sahih Bukhari 5:58:234
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) married her when she was seven years old, and he was taken to his house as a bride when she was nine, and her dolls were with her; and when he (the Holy Prophet) died she was eighteen years old.
Sahih Muslim 8:3311
“My mother came to me while I was being swung on a swing between two branches and got me down. My nurse took over and wiped my face with some water and started leading me. When I was at the door she stopped so I could catch my breath. I was brought in while Muhammad was sitting on a bed in our house. My mother made me sit on his lap. The other men and women got up and left. The Prophet consummated his marriage with me in my house when I was nine years old. Neither a camel nor a sheep was slaughtered on behalf of me.”
Al-Tabari, Vol. 9, p. 131..
Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64
Narrated 'Aisha:
that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death)...

Muslim (8:3309) - Muhammad consummated his marriage to Aisha when she was only nine. (See also Bukhari 58:234 and many other places). No where in the reliable Hadith or Sira is there any other age given.
Bukhari (62:18) - Aisha's father, Abu Bakr, wasn't on board at first, but Muhammad explained how the rules of their religion made it possible. This is similar to the way that present-day cult leaders manipulate their followers into similar concessions.
Muslim (8:3311) - The girl took her dolls with her to Muhammad's house (something to play with when the "prophet" was not having sex with her).
Bukhari (6:298) - Muhammad would take a bath with the little girl and fondle her.
Muslim (8:3460) - "Why didn't you marry a young girl so that you could sport with her and she sport with you, or you could amuse with her and she could amuse with you?" Muhammad posed this question to one of his followers who had married an "older woman" instead of opting to fondle a child.
Bukhari (4:232) - Muhammad's wives would wash semen stains out of his clothes, which were still wet from the spot-cleaning even when he went to the mosque for prayers. Between copulation and prayer, it's a wonder he found the time to slay pagans.
Bukhari (6:300) - Muhammad's wives had to be available for the prophet's fondling even when they were having their menstrual period.
Bukhari (93:639) - The Prophet of Islam would recite the 'Holy Qur'an' with his head in Aisha's lap, when she was menstruating.

you can see that I have given the reference numbers, so if you do not believe this post then take your own books and look for them yourself.
this is one of the major things in islam that I cannot get past, I have a family....and I know that if some guy asked to marry one of my children when they are still children, I would rip his head off...
if you did not know this was in islam...now you do....if you are a muslim and your eyes were opened, then I urge you to search for the truth...the truth is not in islam....a loving god would NOT say its ok to do those horrible things to a child...that is only the thoughts of a madman and pedophile....
anyway I am sorry for the sick nature of this post but islam needs to be exposed....
I will post another thought ( a nicer one) next.

According to the quran Jesus is GOD
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ISLAM AND MUHAMMAD IN THE BELOW POST
if you want the truth read all through this and do not skip anything, it is very important to know this truth. when your done see my message at the bottom.
JESUS IS GOD IN THE QURAN
This is a very important issue and everybody should know this fact. I studied the Koran and the Hadith and I will discuss this subject according to the Koran and the Holy Bible and we will find the truth that “Jesus is Allah according to the Koran.”
Muslims always love to ask question but sorry to say they don’t want to listen your answer. Muslims always think they are right and you are wrong! (Which is false). Therefore if you don’t have good idea about the Koran and the Holy Bible and any Muslim asks any question to you then I am sure it will strike like a hammer to your faith! One very minor question Muslims always asks, “Where Jesus said He is God?” I am sure so many of you heard this question.
Now I will show the Muslims in a very special way how we can prove them that Jesus said, ‘I am the God’ from their book and our book in the same time.
The God of Islam ‘Allah’ has 99 names. Each name of those are equal to other one. Which means there is no difference between the name of Allah or any of those 99 names. Allah is one of them and He is equal to all those names. No difference but equal. So if Jesus claimed any of those names it means that Jesus is saying to Muslims that ‘He is Muslims God too.’
So I will tell you how many times Jesus said, ‘I am God.’ Which means Jesus is God to Muslims as well. There are so many verses in the Holy Bible but I picked only few verses from the Holy Bible.
I challenge all the Muslims in this Earth NOT to run away from this truth. Now my question to them, ’How can Muslims deny this truth?’
One of the names of God in Islam is AL-HAQ. Which means in Arabic ‘The Truth.’ Did Jesus say in the Holy Bible, “I am the Truth?’ Yes. He said on John 14;9,” I am the way and the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through Me.” The most important for Christians now that Jesus said, “He is the Truth.” Always remember this truth.
Can any Muslim deny that is God’s (Allah) another name is “The Truth” (AL-HAQ)? No. No one can deny this fact. Because this Truth in Islam is ‘Allah’. AL is Arabic word and its English meaning is ‘you talking about whom.’ HAQ means Truth which in English we say ‘I am the Truth’. In Arabic I am the ‘AL-HAQ’. Can any Muslim deny that?
Another name for God of Islam is AL-BAETH. The Resurrection. Did Jesus say in the Gospel, “I am the Resurrection?” Yes. In the Gospel of John 11;25-26 Jesus says, “I am the Resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies; and who-ever lives and believes in Me will never die.” When Muslims God ‘Allah’ is called ‘AL-BEATH’ which means resurrection, then it is clearly proven to all of us that Jesus Himself is Allah as Jesus says, “I am the Resurrection.” In Arabic “ I am the ‘AL-BEATH.’ There are not a single Muslim in this Earth can deny that. If any Muslim denies this truth then he/she denies/reject ‘Allah’ as well because they deny the 99 names of Allah.
The God of Islam has two other names. “AL-AWAL” and “AL-AKHER.” In English we say, “I am the Alfa-I am the Omega.” (I am the First and I am the Last.) Isaiah 41;4 says, “I, the Lord-with the first of them and with the last-I am He.” Also the book of Revelation 22;13 says, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” Jesus is the AL-AWAL and Jesus is the AL-AKHER. Muslims there are no any option or excuse to refuse this truth. You have to accept Jesus as your “Allah.”
One of the names of the God of Islam ’Allah’ is the kings of King. In Arabic ‘AL-MALEK.’ The book of Revelation says on chapter 17 verse 14, “They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because He is Lord of lords and King of kings-and with Him will be His called, chosen and faithful followers.”
One of the names of the God of Islam ‘Allah’ is the Guide-“AL-HADI.” Which’s English meaning is The Door/Gate. Did Jesus say that He is the Gate? Yes. In the Gospel of John 10;9 tells us Jesus said, “ I am the gate; whoever enters through Me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture.”
One of the names of the God of Islam ‘Allah’ is The Light which in Arabic is “Al-NUR.” Did Jesus say that He is the Light or He is the AL-NUR? Yes. In the Gospel of John 8;12 says, “ I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” All these verses are clearly proves that Jesus is Allah according to the Koran and no Muslims can deny this truth. (For readers references please check the Gospel of John. 10;9/15;1/6;35 and 10;11).
For these reason I suggest you my dear Muslims make your decision now. Do not leave it for tomorrow. It may be too late. The door for repentance can be shut and you will live in everlasting regret and suffer punishment. Please do not try to knock the back door because you have to come through the front door and that door is Jesus Christ-AL-HADI.
~~If any muslim tries to deny this then BY THEIR OWN ADMISSION they DENY allah...
Read this carefully. their own "holy book" shows that Jesus is in fact GOD.
I already had one person tell me this was wrong...so by his own admission he DENIED allah....interesting
anyway if you follow islam and you read this...seriously look at the names of allah and what Jesus said He was...your eternal soul is at stake here...Only those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved. those that do not accept Him as Lord and Savior will be lost for eternity.

Does God still Speak to us today?
I've had a lot of friends on facebook tell me that God doesnt speak to us....and when I tell them otherwise they either say I'm crazy or lying...haha...anyway God wants a personal friendship with us...friendship means you talk with the other person...it's a two way conversation, you want to get to know the other person and they want to get to know you...well with God it's about the same (it should be, He created friendships) the only difference is God already KNOWS EVERYTHING about us....so He has the advantage...but He still wants to hear us talk about our joys and failures with Him, He loves us and so He wants us to talk with Him and He will talk to us if we listen...here is what the bible says about God speaking to us.
"Does God still speak to us today?"
Answer: The Bible records God speaking audibly to people many times (Exodus 3:14;Joshua 1:1; Judges 6:18; 1 Samuel 3:11; 2 Samuel 2:1; Job 40:1; Isaiah 7:3; Jeremiah 1:7;Acts 8:26; 9:15 – this is just a small sampling). There is no biblical reason why God could not or would not speak to a person audibly today. With the hundreds of times the Bible records God speaking, we have to remember that they occur over the course of 4,000 years of human history. God speaking audibly is the exception, not the rule. Even in the biblically recorded instances of God speaking, it is not always clear whether it was an audible voice, an inner voice, or a mental impression.
God does speak to people today. First, God speaks to us through His Word (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Isaiah 55:11 tells us, “So is my word that goes out from my mouth: it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” The Bible records God’s words, everything we need to know in order to be saved and live the Christian life. Second Peter 1:3 declares, “His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by his own glory and goodness.”
Second, God speaks through impressions, events, and thoughts. God helps us to discern right from wrong through our consciences (1 Timothy 1:5; 1 Peter 3:16). God is in the process of conforming our minds to think His thoughts (Romans 12:2). God allows events to occur in our lives to direct us, change us, and help us to grow spiritually (James 1:2-5;Hebrews 12:5-11). First Peter 1:6-7 reminds us, “In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.”
Finally, God may sometimes speak audibly to people. It is highly doubtful, though, that this occurs as often as some people claim it does. Again, even in the Bible, God speaking audibly is the exception, not the ordinary. If anyone claims that God has spoken to him/her, always compare what is said with what the Bible says. If God were to speak today, His words would be in full agreement with what He has said in the Bible (2 Timothy 3:16-17). God does not contradict Himself.

Jesus is GOD!
Jesus is GOD!
IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.
He was present originally with God.
All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.
In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.
And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it]. John 1:1-5
And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth. John 1:14
Who is the Word? Jesus is!
After that I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse [appeared]! The One Who was riding it is called Faithful (Trustworthy, Loyal, Incorruptible, Steady) and True, and He passes judgment and wages war in righteousness (holiness, justice, and uprightness).
His eyes [blaze] like a flame of fire, and on His head are many kingly crowns (diadems); and He has a title (name) inscribed which He alone knows or can understand.
He is dressed in a robe dyed by dipping in blood, and the title by which He is called is The Word of God.
And the troops of heaven, clothed in fine linen, dazzling and clean, followed Him on white horses.
From His mouth goes forth a sharp sword with which He can smite (afflict, strike) the nations; and He will shepherd and control them with a staff (scepter, rod) of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath and indignation of God the All-Ruler (the Almighty, the Omnipotent).
And on His garment (robe) and on His thigh He has a name (title) inscribed, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Who is the King of Kings? Jesus Is!
Revelation 17:14
They will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will triumph over them; for He is Lord of lords and King of kings--and those with Him and on His side are chosen and called [elected] and loyal and faithful followers.
Who is the Lamb? Jesus Is!!
Isaiah 53:7
He was oppressed, [yet when] He was afflicted, He was submissive and opened not His mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth.
^^^A Prophecy about Jesus.
John 1:29
The next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, Look! There is the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world!
John 1:36
And he looked at Jesus as He walked along, and said, Look! There is the Lamb of God!
^^^Jesus being called the Lamb of God
Jesus is the Lamb, He is also the King of Kings, Jesus is the King of Kings and He is also The Word, and Jesus is The Word.... this Means He Is GOD! Praises to Him. Jesus Is GOD!
I have been not so much scared to post this but I honestly didnt want to offend people who didnt believe in His deity...But tonight I was studying the Word and I felt the need to post this. I know according to islam they only think Jesus is a prophet...well that is a lie from satan, satan wants us to believe that Jesus was less then God because then that would mean that we wouldnt believe that we needed Jesus to save us from our sins and fully forgive them....but it's not true...Jesus is God, and ONLY through believing in Him can we be saved from sin and able to enter heaven.
If you feel like something is tugging at your heart, DONT ignore it....put your faith and trust in Jesus, because He truly is who He says He is in the Bible. And only through Him can we be saved and have ANY chance at going to heaven...Good works WILL NOT get you to heaven....ONLY through believing and accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior will you go to heaven...
If you have made the choice to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior please comment here and let me know so I may pray for you.
May the Lord Bless you all
-Into The Light
IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.
He was present originally with God.
All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.
In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.
And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it]. John 1:1-5
And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth. John 1:14
Who is the Word? Jesus is!
After that I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse [appeared]! The One Who was riding it is called Faithful (Trustworthy, Loyal, Incorruptible, Steady) and True, and He passes judgment and wages war in righteousness (holiness, justice, and uprightness).
His eyes [blaze] like a flame of fire, and on His head are many kingly crowns (diadems); and He has a title (name) inscribed which He alone knows or can understand.
He is dressed in a robe dyed by dipping in blood, and the title by which He is called is The Word of God.
And the troops of heaven, clothed in fine linen, dazzling and clean, followed Him on white horses.
From His mouth goes forth a sharp sword with which He can smite (afflict, strike) the nations; and He will shepherd and control them with a staff (scepter, rod) of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath and indignation of God the All-Ruler (the Almighty, the Omnipotent).
And on His garment (robe) and on His thigh He has a name (title) inscribed, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Who is the King of Kings? Jesus Is!
Revelation 17:14
They will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will triumph over them; for He is Lord of lords and King of kings--and those with Him and on His side are chosen and called [elected] and loyal and faithful followers.
Who is the Lamb? Jesus Is!!
Isaiah 53:7
He was oppressed, [yet when] He was afflicted, He was submissive and opened not His mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth.
^^^A Prophecy about Jesus.
John 1:29
The next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, Look! There is the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world!
John 1:36
And he looked at Jesus as He walked along, and said, Look! There is the Lamb of God!
^^^Jesus being called the Lamb of God
Jesus is the Lamb, He is also the King of Kings, Jesus is the King of Kings and He is also The Word, and Jesus is The Word.... this Means He Is GOD! Praises to Him. Jesus Is GOD!
I have been not so much scared to post this but I honestly didnt want to offend people who didnt believe in His deity...But tonight I was studying the Word and I felt the need to post this. I know according to islam they only think Jesus is a prophet...well that is a lie from satan, satan wants us to believe that Jesus was less then God because then that would mean that we wouldnt believe that we needed Jesus to save us from our sins and fully forgive them....but it's not true...Jesus is God, and ONLY through believing in Him can we be saved from sin and able to enter heaven.
If you feel like something is tugging at your heart, DONT ignore it....put your faith and trust in Jesus, because He truly is who He says He is in the Bible. And only through Him can we be saved and have ANY chance at going to heaven...Good works WILL NOT get you to heaven....ONLY through believing and accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior will you go to heaven...

God shows the trinity...we dont always understand it though
It's equally hard to understand to some that a person is also tripartite. God created us with 3 distinct but entirely separate "parts". But, nevertheless, it is true. We have a physical body, a spirit and a soul (intellect & will).
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:23
Moses in Deuteronomy speaks of a Triune God. In Deuteronomy 6:4 where Moses says; "Hear O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one." The Hebrew word for "one" in this passage is 'echad', which in Hebrew refers to a combined unity. From the root word meaning to unify or collect together. In the Bible 'echad' often refers to the combining of two or more things. A few other examples in Scripture where the word 'echad' is used are in Genesis 2:24: "The two shall be one flesh". The two dreams that Joseph interpreted for the Pharaoh are describes being 'one'. (Genesis 41:25-26)
The soul and the spirit are the two primary immaterial aspects that Scripture ascribes to humanity. It can be confusing to attempt to discern the precise differences between the two. The word “spirit” refers only to the immaterial facet of humanity. Human beings have a spirit, but are we not spirits. However, in Scripture, only believers are said to be spiritually alive (1 Corinthians 2:11; Hebrews 4:12; James 2:26), while unbelievers are spiritually dead (Ephesians 2:1-5; Colossians 2:13). In Paul's writing, the spiritual was pivotal to the life of the believer (1 Corinthians 2:14; 3:1; Ephesians 1:3; 5:19; Colossians 1:9; 3:16). The spirit is the element in humanity which gives us the ability to have an intimate relationship with God. Whenever the word “spirit” is used, it refers to the immaterial part of humanity that “connects” with God, who Himself is spirit (John 4:24).
The word “soul” can refer to both the immaterial and material aspects of humanity. Unlike human beings having a spirit, human beings are souls. In its most basic sense, the word “soul” means “life.” However, beyond this essential meaning, the Bible speaks of the soul in many contexts. One of these is humanity’s eagerness to sin (Luke 12:26). Humanity is naturally evil, and our souls are tainted as a result. The life principle of the soul is removed at the time of physical death (Genesis 35:18; Jeremiah 15:2). The soul, as with the spirit, is the center of many spiritual and emotional experiences (Job 30:25; Psalm 43:5; Jeremiah 13:17). Whenever the word “soul” is used, it can refer to the whole person, whether alive or in the afterlife.
The soul and the spirit are connected, but separable (Hebrews 4:12). The soul is the essence of humanity’s being; it is who we are. The spirit is the aspect of humanity that connects with God.
Just one other way that God shows the trinity....I am ONE (me personally) I have a body, soul and spirit....that doesnt mean I am three persons, it means that I am One person with three different PARTS....all fully me.
God is ONE! One God with three different parts....not 1+1+1=3....but 1x1x1=1 (get a calculator and do that math for yourself) God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit...All fully God....
there are some things that we cannot fully understand because our brains are merely human, God is much more complex then our feeble minds can even imagine....so the main thing is this concept is in the Bible, and God knows better then we do...so if we dont fully understand it that's fine...we need to trust that God knows best....

People ask Why...here is my answer
Lately; since I've been starting to post again I've had people ask me again why am I doing this? what do I have against muslims? why can't I just leave well enough alone and let them do what they want? why do I have to insult someone else? I have had both muslims, athiests and even fellow Christian's ask me this....
One thing I do when I am asked these things is I sit back for a moment first of all flabargasted if it's a fellow Christian that asks this and I think about my answer. now I will tell you my answer for each and every one of these question are.
1. Why am I doing this?
I am doing this because Jesus is the truth, Jesus said to go into the world and preach the gospel and so I am using this blog as a means of doing this exact thing. I teach of who Jesus really is, how a person can get to heaven, how God is Love, etc. I talk about islam mainly (I have posted about other religions but mostly islam) because God has led me to be friends with a lot of muslim people and sooner or later the topic of belief's comes up, they ask me a question I answer and then they go and say no no no the quran says this, the quran is right, and so on. now I didn't really know what the quran said so being the woman that I am I just had to find out, so I started studying, because Paul in the bible says to always be ready to give an answer for the hope that you believe in. So I started reading about what the quran said, I even read the quran, and all that I read did NOT change my mind about Jesus, just the opposite, it brought me into a CLOSER relationship with Jesus because I was assured of what the truth really is and it is JESUS. so mainly I am doing this because God told me to, and also because islam has a screwed up view (no offense intended but it's the truth) about who Jesus really is and so I want to get all the information I can and present it in the best possible way so that others can see this truth I am found.
2. What do I have against muslims?
absolutely NOTHING. Jesus tells us to LOVE, so I do not hate muslims, NO WAY. but from everything I have studied, islam is wrong. and I cannot sit back and say nothing while muslims (or anyone else) goes down a road that is actually away from the truth and away from God. so I present what I have and whoever reads it can make up their own mind.
3. Why can't I just leave well enough alone and let them do what they want?
Let me ask you to picture something with me....
if someone was walking down a street minding their own business and you were on a different street and you saw ahead on their side that there was a HUGE gaping hole, a hole that they didn't see and they were going to fall into and die. What would you do? would you warn them? or would you let them continue toward this hole and allow them to fall in and die....that is the picture that God showed me before I started doing this....wide is the road that leads to destruction, narrow is the road that leads to life. yes there will be people who won't like what I say, and there will be people who get angry or offended, but honestly you can't live your life trying not to offend everyone, if that is how you live then you end up getting hurt and people will walk all over you...these people are heading for a hole, I am just trying to warn them before they fall in....
4. Why do I have to insult someone else?
Where am I being insulting? yes I could see it being very insulting if I was posting hate messages or lies...BUT I'm not...I am giving the truth and I am even giving references so that YOU can even go into the bible or the quran and look up these things for yourself. I have to say, if you think I'm lying, or if I am insulting you or your religion, then dont accuse me of doing so....if you think I am lying, then go get your quran and go look up whatever verse or subject you think I'm lying about....I challenge you....PROVE ME WRONG....if you dont believe me when I say that the bible isnt corrupted then dont just say that, go to UNBIASED sites and study it for yourself, again prove me wrong....don't just go off of what your imam tells you, actually go and RESEARCH the subjects for yourself...when I did my researching, I went to Christian, muslim and even non-religious sources I compared everything and I prayed about it and went from there...you have to research every angle not just one single piece. so if you think I am lying or insulting you then don't just accuse me of it....show me actual proof as to why you believe that....
anyway there are probably other questions I have been asked about this but I can't remember them right now (I think I'm suffering from lack of eating LOL I will remedy that after I finish here) I hope that answers the questions as to why I am posting the things I am posting here. if not, feel free to leave me a comment along with your question =)

Christianity and islam: A side by side comparison.
Christianity and Islam: A side by side comparison.
"allah"
"I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"
(quran 8:12)
"muhammad"
"Fight everyone in the way of allah and kill those who disbelieve in allah"
(ibn ishaq 992)
Jesus:
"Thou Shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
(Matthew 5:14)
Each year, thousands of Christian homes and churches are torched or bombed by muslim mobs, and hundereds of Christians, including dozens of priests, pastors, nuns and other church workers are murdered at the hands of islamic extremists. The so-called justification varies, from charges of apostasy or evangelism, to purported "blastphemy" or "insulting" islam. Innocent people have been hacked to death by devout muslims over cartoons.
Yet, there is little if any violent retaliation from religious Christians to the discrimination, kidnapping, rape, torture, mutilation and murder that is routinely reported from nations with muslim majorities. Neither is there any significant deadly terrorism in the name of Jesus, as there is in the stated cause of allah each and every day. muslim clerics in the West do not fear for their safety as do their Christian counterparts.
The "Christian world" and the islamic worlf contrast sharply in other ways as well, from the disparate condition of human rights and civil liberties to economic status. An astonishing 70% of the worlds refugees are muslims - usually seeking to live in Christian based countries.
While Western societies take seriously the "scandels" such as Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo (where no one has actually been killed) muslims routinely turn a blinde eye to their own horrible atrocities, even those commited explicity in the name of allah. The muslim world has yet to offer a single apology for the tens of millions of lives consumed by centuries of relentless jihad and slavery.
These sharp differences are almost certainly rooted in the underlying religions, which begin with the disparate teachings of Jesus and Muhammad....

The two religions contrast sharply even in their positive aspects. The morality of the quran is amateurish and frustratingly obscure for those who try to compare it to what is contained in the bible. most of islam's holiest book is devoted toward distinguishing and heaping abuse on believers. there are no verses that promote universal love and brotherhood. the few verses that are sometimes held up as examples of tollerance and peace generally require separation from textual and historical context.
the difference between Christianity and islam starts at the top:
muslims are told that muhammad - a slave owner, sexual glutton, thief and killer - is the most "beautiful pattern of conduct" and "example" for mankind to follow (quran 33:21), as well as the "exalted standard of character" (quran 68:4).
Christians are told to emulate Jesus -a pacifist and servant - and "walk, even as He walked" (1 john 2:6). Unlike muhammad, who ordered military assaults against Christians, for example, Jesus told His followers not to resort to violence and to pray for one's enemies.

Christian's and muslims do not worship the same God. here is why.
I found this on another website and I needed to share it, I'm very sorry I haven't written anything in a long time I have been going through some family problems, but God promises to work ALL things for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28)
Anyway I have been having some discussions with some muslims online and all of them have said at one point or another that the "christian God and the muslim god are the same" that is absolutely not true.
Jesus and Muhammad have nothing in common. The God that authentic Christians worship is not the god that Muslims worship. There is no connection at all. We use a different book, we worship different deities, we have completely different values and belief systems and though both Christians and Muslims venerate Abraham, Muslims believe that the promised son was Ishmael while Christians understand the promised son to be Isaac, from whom the twelve tribes and the nation of Israel eventually arose.
I cannot think of anything that would cause me to want to worship with Muslims simply because there is no connection. While I have heard Muslims tell me that “Allah” is simply a name which means “God,” that in and of itself does not mean that our religions connect in any way, shape, or form.
They reject the idea that Jesus is God the Son. They reject the trinity (mainly because they misunderstand it, thinking that the trinity is made up of three separate Gods. This of course, would be polytheism. The Trinity is ONE God in three separate Persons. How? I have no idea, but there are a lot of things about God that I know I do not understand and will not understand in the next life either. God is infinite. How would it be possible for finite human beings to understand the actual nature of an infinite God? It is arrogance to believe we can beyond what He has shared about Himself.
No, there really are no similarities between Islam and authentic Christianity. None. If there were, then one would not be needed would it? Moreover, both would merely be ideologies. If Jesus is God, that rules out everything and everyone else.
Islam says Jesus was a prophet. He was a prophet, but He was also (and remains) God the Son. Muhammad is considered to be a prophet (Allah’s final prophet to humanity). Even if that was true, Muhammad was never God or God’s Son.
The idea that Christians and Muslims can worship together based on alleged similarities is merely another lie and it is tragic that many Muslims believe that lie. This is another instance of Islam wanting to indoctrinate the world by pretending to be something that it is not.
then they try to claim that the bible was changed....well if the christian God and the muslim god are the same then wouldn't he be able to protect and preserve BOTH holy books? hmmm....If you believe that the bible has been changed please feel free to read my other blog
the evidence given shows that the bible I read today is the same as those in ancient times.
so anyway, I just wanted to share these tid bits with you,
I will post more about the comparisons between muhammad and Jesus in my next blog post
God Bless
