The Lies of False Religion.3
MINA, Saudi Arabia (AFP) - Some 2.5 million Muslims took part in the "Stoning of Satan" ritual, as the Islamic world marked the Eid al-Adha feast of sacrifice following the annual hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. According to tradition, it is the place where Satan appeared first to Abraham, to his son, Ishmael, and to Ishmael’s mother Hagar. All three pillars are to be stoned as the ritual resumes on Friday and Saturday. Last year saw 251 pilgrims trampled or suffocated to death during a stampede as they vied to hurl pebbles at the pillars. The hajj reached its climax Wednesday with some 2.56 million pilgrims from around the world converging on Mount Arafat, according to interior ministry figures. The faithful -- men clad in a two-piece seamless white cloth, the women covered except for the hands and face -- spent the day praying for forgiveness in a symbolic enactment of the Final Judgment at the scene of the Prophet Mohammed’s last sermon 14 centuries ago. The pilgrims on Thursday were sacrificing animals, normally sheep, in remembrance of Abraham’s readiness to sacrifice his son to God. The Muslim religion denounces the Bible and its account of the Son of Promise. Ishmael instead of Issac. When you change one part of scripture you make, in essence, the rest of the Bible void. Act 19:40-41 For we are in danger to be called in question for this day’s uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse. And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly. Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Jesus was the biggest divider of religions of them all. I am surprised on the number of men who say they are preachers and are not. Just as Jesus stated about people saying that they are Jews and are not, “But Do Lie.” When confronted with the Truth of the Bible, their excuse is that God embraces all religions, from Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Scientology, Evolutionists, Darwinism, Paganism, Atheism, Hinduism, to all non-Jesus believing religions. They say that these other religions have the right to worship as they please. Thats true, but are we not as Ambassadors of Christ, commissioned to spread the truth, even to those who worship other gods? The biggest threat to Christianity is Islam.. The Islamic elements have been trying to destroy Israel ever since she became a Nation in 1948. If as some, who would have us to believe, would have us to be loving and tollarant to all religions, then why are they not condemning, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Iran and the other Islamic religious nations for trying to destroy Israel, who is still under the Mosaic Law? Why ? Because they don’t believe what they, themselves, are saying. Be tolerant and compassionate to all religions except Israel. Hypocrites!
Just recently, the Pope of Rome denounced terrorist attacks against all nations except Israel. This lack of recognition of Israel by the Pope angered all Isralies. Why was Israel left out? The Jews are the chosen people of God, they are His Children and will not have them destroyed by anyone. Christianity is the only religion that totally accepts Israel. The only one who accepts Israel as a Nation and the only one that will protect Her. We as ambassadors of Christ cannot embrace any religion that denighs Jesus as Lord and Christ. Are we then to fall back to Idol worship, just because many say that they have received a vision from God, saying that all religions are fine? If we embrace all religions as right then Jesus died for nothing. Some say that Christianity is not the religion that God accepts. This is what the Bible says about that.
1Pe 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. Act 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. God in the Old Testament and in the New Testament has had no tolerance for other forms of religion. Heres proof. 2Ti 3:2-5 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. “from such turn away.” A commandment, turn away not embrace.
Lets take a moment and see how God dealt with other religions. 2Ki 9:30-33. And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window. And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master? And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs. And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot. Num 16:35 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.1Ki 18:40 And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there. 2Ki 10:23-24 And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only. And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him.
