Obama Naive about the Muslim Brotherhood....

Israel: Obama 'naive' on Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood

Israel's National Security Council determined during an emergency meeting last week that US President Barack Obama is "naive" when it comes to Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood and the dangers it poses.

The council, which exists to provide strategic assessments to the prime minister and his cabinet, met in Jerusalem for a discussion entitled "The Challenge of the Rise of the Muslim Brotherhood and its Offshoots."

The meeting was called as the Muslim Brotherhood was wrapping up its wildly successful showing in Egypt's first democratic election since the fall of former dictator Hosni Mubarak. With the votes from the third round of voting expected to be tallied soon, the Brotherhood is predicted to control at least 40 percent of the Egyptian parliament. The even more radical al-Nour party came in second place with 25-30 percent of the vote.

Less than a year ago, Obama, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other top American officials were brushing off the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists as a "fringe" movement within Egypt, and unlikely to win outright control in free elections. "They [the Muslim Brotherhood] don;t have majority support in Egypt," insisted Obama in early 2011.

When it became increasingly clear over the summer that the Muslim Brotherhood was emerging as Egypt's new dominant force, Obama's reaction was to "engage" the party that had once been shunned by Washington as a terrorist organization. Just last month, Obama dispatched Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Senator John Kerry to meet with Muslim Brotherhood leaders in Cairo.

Both Obama's initial reaction to fears of a Brotherhood takeover and his response once such a takeover became inevitable were "naive" and place the region at increased risk, warned Israel's National Security Council.

Since Israel cannot change the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood, it is suggesting to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he focus on educating Obama and his government on the very real threat created by the Muslim Brotherhood's hijacking of Egypt's revolution.

Just this week, the Muslim Brotherhood's second in command told Arab media that once in power, his group will never recognize Israel and will work to undo the Camp David Accords, a policy that has the potential to unhinge what's left of regional stability.

This doesnt surprise me honestly because President Obama is very naive about a lot of things, but seeing as he really see's nothing wrong with islam even though it is a very hatefilled and violent religion says a lot....every single muslim I have met has expressed either extreme dislike or Hate toward Jews an Israel, I have even had a lot of them curse me for supporting Israel.

I find it very wrong for anyone to hate a whole nation for any reason. 

Anyway I personally pray that God will continue to have His hand on Israel and that God will protect Israel and bless her. these are dangerous times for Israel and America and America cannot afford to leave it's alliance with Israel...

God Bless

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

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....

Living how God wants us to...how do you choose to live?

God calls us to live a higher standard, when we choose to follow Him we are choosing to give up our sinful worldly life and embrace Him and live to please not ourselves but to please Him.
today I had someone ask me online to commit lustful acts with them...I of course told this person NO....for many reasons...they then got angry with me...their anger didn't bother me though because I was obeying Jesus.
now my reasons for not commiting the acts this person wished me to do: I am married first and foremost, God said to always be faithful to my husband and he be faithful to me...and I will do as God says.
my other reasons for not commiting a lustful act with one who is not my husband is because Jesus tells those who have chosen to accept Him as Savior to stay away from lustful desires and do not commit acts of sexual immorality...this is very clear, that mean sex outside of marriage and also adultry too....now before I got married I sinned, because I walked away from God for a short while but as soon as I realized what I did I went RUNNING back to Jesus and He forgave me and I didn't do that again....but if a person continues in a sinful way without turning from that sin when they choose Jesus then there will be consequinces for that sin...the bible is clear about that as you can see below:


Matthew 5:28
But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 

Mark 7:14-23

 Then Jesus called to the crowd to come and hear. “All of you listen,” he said, “and try to understand.  It’s not what goes into your body that defiles you; you are defiled by what comes from your heart.

   Then Jesus went into a house to get away from the crowd, and his disciples asked him what he meant by the parable he had just used.  “Don’t you understand either?” he asked.“Can’t you see that the food you put into your body cannot defile you?  Food doesn’t go into your heart, but only passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer.” (By saying this, he declared that every kind of food is acceptable in God’s eyes.)

   And then he added, “It is what comes from inside that defiles you. For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness. All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you.” 

Galatians 5:16-25

 So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.

   When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

   But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

   Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.

Colossians 3:1-17

 Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.

   So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming. You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world. But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him. In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us.

   Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.

   Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.

2 Timothy 2:22
Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts. 

1 peter 4:1-6

So then, since Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm yourselves with the same attitude he had, and be ready to suffer, too. For if you have suffered physically for Christ, you have finished with sin. You won’t spend the rest of your lives chasing your own desires, but you will be anxious to do the will of God. You have had enough in the past of the evil things that godless people enjoy—their immorality and lust, their feasting and drunkenness and wild parties, and their terrible worship of idols.

  Of course, your former friends are surprised when you no longer plunge into the flood of wild and destructive things they do. So they slander you. But remember that they will have to face God, who will judge everyone, both the living and the dead. That is why the Good News was preached to those who are now dead—so although they were destined to die like all people, they now live forever with God in the Spirit.

Now if you are guilty of any of these sins, heed God's word and turn from them. ask God to forgive you and repent...repent means to turn from your sin and dont do it anymore...

so I wanted to share with you that God wants us to live a different life then the world says to live....I choose God....which do you choose??

Happy New Year, the year for restoration!

Well I have an hour and a half until 2012, and I want to say HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

this past week God has really been speaking to me (YES God speaks to those who ask and listen) and He has been saying that 2012 is the Year for Restoration! He wants restoration with His people, if you have gone away from Him in any way even if you think it's a small way, He wants you back! He wants you to start reading His word again, He wants you to start talking to Him again, He wants you to start listening for Him to speak to you again because He wants to come close to you and hold you, encourage you, comfort you and protect you. He loves you so so much and He wants a close friendship with you.
If you don't know the Lord personally, He WANTS you to know Him in a deep, personal and intimate way, He wants to be your Best Friend, your personal loving Father, your Savior. Put your FULL trust in Him and He will be there.

God wants to restore different areas in your life as well....your marriage, a friendship, a job, what is your need? Tell God, although He already knows your need He wants you to spend time with Him and tell Him all about it. cast your worries and cares upon Him.

anyway God was speaking to me and telling me to share this so He knows who it's for.

Happy New Year! expect Restoration!

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 =)

May the Lord Jesus Bless you and cause His Light to Shine upon you

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.
