bukiboy how was the experience? did you get a good deal? what is the current exchange rate like.

bro, its all in the scripture.
if you read the whole chapter, you'll get to hear when Peter acknowledged that the tree he cursed actually died.

Why did he curse the fig tree
1. Jesus is the creator of the world
In the beginning, all trees he created rought forth fruits in and out of season, there was always fruits for Adam and Eve to eat. As the creator, he expected that the fig should have fruits wether its his season or not. The fig should have responded to His demand at least.
Remember Jesus said, everyone of us who does not bear fruit, my father will uproot, and those of us who do bear fruits, He will trim so that we bear even much fruit.

2. He cursed the tree to teach them about Faith
when Peter acknowledged that the fig tree he cursed actually died, Jesus told them to "have faith in God"
He told them that if they have the slightest level of Faith, they can speak to a mountain to move from where it is to another place and it will happen as it happened to the fig tree.

As a Christian, if you put the little faith you received (as you got born again ) to use, nothing shall be impossible to you. You can speak to anything including money and it will answer you.

Have a glorious Sunday Service.

ARE YOU STILL SPEAKING the ADAM OF EDEN'S LANGUAGE?

Change it! IN the KINGDOM of God, ANGELS don't UNDERSTAND that LANGUAGE!!! Its ERROR!!! "And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?" (Genesis 3:11).
Adam was created with everything, he lacked nothing. In the Garden of Eden there was no language of lack, there were no prayers of supplication. There was no language of sickness. There was no death, there was no grief, no stress, no labour.
What a joy! So what... was the prayer life of Adam like, everyday God would visit him, OH WHAT A
LIFE!!!. He NEVER ASKED FOR ANYTHING because he lacked nothing. GLORRYYYY!

BUT wait minute, on this particular day GOD noticed something was wrong with Adam. WHAT WAS WRONG? Adams confession had changed. GOD had created him without lack or the word lack on his lips. GOD had given him everything BUT on this day Adam confessed that he was naked meaning he now lacked Clothes to cover him. GOD knew that was not language of the garden so he knew something was terribly wrong in the garden.

DISOBEDIENCE changed his language, it changed his mentality from an 'I LACK NOTHING MENTALITY to a unclothedness MENTALITY’. Which is why GOD asked him who had told him that he was naked since this was a STRANGE CONFESSION in the garden; they had never had such a conversation with GOD.
The word NAKED was UNHEARD of in the garden. GOD knew that Adam must have been having a conversation with someone else. JESUS came to reverse that which Adam had lost. He came to restore LIFE, He came to restore divine health, He came with another GARDEN in the FORM of the KINGDOM of GOD. Yet we still have Christians who still confess against the word of GOD, unbelieving believers.

By the same token, who told you that you are sick, that is strange language in the kingdom because the word of GOD says BY HIS STRIPES WE WERE HEALED. The bible says goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life! WHO told YOU that YOU have a curse. WHO told YOU that You lacked when the bible says The LORD IS My SHEPHERD I SHALL NOT WANT.
Who told YOU it's impossible when the bible says WITH GOD ALL Things ARE POSSIBLE.
Who told YOU that YOU are broke when GOD your papa says silver and gold is his, He owns cattle on a thousand hills. Why are YOU asking him to protect YOU when he says he will never leave you nor forsake you. They have said you will not make it this year, they say YOU will die poor, they say YOU are cursed, they say YOu will never be married; they say u will remain barren. STOP IT!

Stop disobeying GOD by listening to the voice of the devil. Remember and take a HOLD of THIS! I CAN DO ALL THINGS through Christ WHO STRENGTHENS ME! I'm the Head and not the TAIL. Let the WEAK say I’m STRONG, LEt the POOR say I’m RICH that is the LANGUAGE OF ZION. STOP that STRANGE TALK!
The children of Israel could not see the Promised Land because of strange talk. Only Caleb, Joshua and all those who spoke the LANGUAGE OF ZION MADE IT.

DON'T KICK YOURSELF OUT OF The GARDEN OF EDEN and the promised Land by negative grasshopper mentality. JESUS is LORD, GOD IS WITH You and FOR YOU! Boy! YOU are a SUCCESS!!! Glory to GOD! YOU HAIL from ABOVE! LIVE the HIGHER LIFE! GLORY!!!!

A christian is one who is born again, meaning he has confessed the Lordship of Jesus over his life.

How do you know a true Christian?
The bible tells us how.
Jesus said, these signs shall follow those who believe; In My Name,
1. They shall cast out devils
2. They shall speak with new tongues
3. They shall take up serpants
4. They shall lay hands on the sick and the sick shall recover
5. if they drink any deady thing, it shall not hurt them

Those were the signs Jesus tells us to know those that believe shortly before he was taken into heaven.

Enuguboy4nsk:
this story is somehow...is he a dentist or a fake doctor??

Wether he's a dentist or not, he paraded as a doctor. dentists are not medical doctors and they are not qualified to treat medical cases, they deal only on conditions of the teeth.

If the man is a real dentist(registered with regulatory bodies), its even worse, he stands to loose his practising license for what he did.

the same goes for Medical Laboratory scientists and others treating patients instead of focusing on their job.

nigerians fall victim because of ignorance and poverty and always wanting to cut corners. they dont even know the difference between a medical doctor, dentist, dental surgeon, gynaecologist, etc not to talk of pharmacists, laboratory scientists, trained nurses, auxiliary nurses, community health extension workers, ward maids, etc

how can someone collect upto 3 million naira from you without doing any investigations?

Happy birthday Rev. Tom , youre really a Gods General, full of Grace and Glory.
The world is blessed to have you in such a time as this.
You're a world changer.

Love you pastor sir.

dankol:


Thanks bro.. but i think you guys are getting me wrong.. If i wanted to leave the church/religion because of the unfortunate events happening, i would have left long ago.. but i came to admit the humanity in our spirituality, hence i ignored all the rubbish, thats why i can tell you all that story. there are other intricate scenerios i would have brought up, but i choose not to. the cause of my leaving religion is based on the scripture inadequacy and the concept of God. that is why i put forward the exerts in blue... See what we are brainwashed to believe as unique about christiandom is actually not true... Dnt worry, my thoughts will help you understand me better, that is if you choose to. mind you, that does not mean you agree with me. Thanks for the invitation, If Jesus loves me, he would have answered my questions..

Did you say leaning on Jesus... i tried it, it got me nothing sir... I am leaning on NO ONE.

Dear Brother Danko,
I wang to let you know I read throuh all the chapters, not because I had the time to, but because I wanted to know.

From my conclusion,
1. you have a good heart and you're faithful.
Now, God said, "My people (Christians) are destroyed for lack of knowledge". This knowledge is not scientific knowledge, but revelation knowledge. As a Christian, you need to know who God is, and His purpose and plan for mankind.
why did I say so, FAITHFULNESS is not the same as FAITH.
God said, for without FAITH, it will be impossible to please Him.
You demonstrated faithfulness towards God, but not faith.

2. Your christianity was devoid of the power.
I dont want to ask at what age you accepted or even confessed the Lordship of Jesus Christ seeing that your parent brought you up as a christian.
Yes, kudos to your parents for the wonderful work they did, but I believe they were not spiritual, but serving God carnally
After accepting the Lordship of Jesus, you need the Holy Spirit because He's the one that will make Christianity(the devine life) real to you.
God seeks for those of His children who will serve Him in "SPIRIT" and in "TRUTH".
Without the Holy Spirit, you cant live the authentic Christian life. For its the Holy Spirit that helps us with all our weaknesses, teaches us, intercedes for us, advocates for us and brings the miraculous.

3. you were brought up to serve God in the flesh
Reading through your story, you never encountered the miraculous in the various churches you attended.
Its still the same way with some churches today. While you see miracles, healings and deliverance on a daily basis in some other churches.

Reading the Bible from front to back will not do the work for you, you need the Holy Spirit to guide you, teach you and help you work in the miraculous.
Yes I heard you say you spoke in tongue, but that speaking in tongue has to be questioned because you cant make use of the Holy
SPIRIT and send angels on errand and not receive answers or experience the miraculous.

I dont want to go into talking about the power of OFFERINGS, TITHES, SEED SOWING AND OTHER GIVINGS because you have not come into Christianity.

I just have one advise for you, to fulfill your calling as a Minister of God (not ncessarily a pastor because there are different forms of ministry eg Music Minister), you need to join a church that believes the Bible, teaches the word of God, and works in the Miraculous to experience real christianity.

Dont be discouraged to start afresh, its not in the number of years, if youre called of God, you need to work hard to fulfil that calling because the devil will do everything possible to stop that.
Dont let the devil have his way.

nice post at op.
I agree God (The Word) changes not but The Revelation of who He is changes, so as the way He relates to us changes.
God is not a static God, He has feelings and emotions.

When you study the Bible, Gods dealings with men changes according to the revelation they receive about Him.
God is a Big God, who has so many qualities facets and characteristics.

In Genesis, Abraham knew God and related with him at that level of understanding. That generation knew him as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but he was more than that.

in Exodus, Moses had better revelation of God. God began to reveal more of Himself to Moses. Moeses got to know that God could do anything (splitting the red sea, bringing water from rock, supernaturally sustaining them with manner and even giving the multitude meat to last them for sever days.

When Jesus came, more revelation knowledge came. Things changed, but God was still God, He changed not.
Jesus stopped the era of cleansing sins with blood of bulls.
He brought Love, he came to show us who the father truly is and how to worship and pray to him.

So as I said, God does not change but the more you get to know him, the way you relate with Him changes, the way you pray also changes and the way you see people changes too.

So, for me, those who have decided to be old testament christians should not be encouraged to be left there, because Revelation is progressive and they should change.

We cant say now that all christians who no longer wear ropes and gowns like Moses and Jesus Christ will go to hell because they have embraced technology.

You can wear the finest of clothe s, drive the best of cars and fly the best of aircraft and still follow The Word and God wjll be pleased with you, as far as you dont let those things distract you from Him.

Jezus Christ was and is sti God. The same Bible you are quoting to explain why He is not God contains His quotes saying He is God.
I and the father are one, if you have seen me, you have seen the father.

You need to study the person of Jesus Christ, why He came and The Reason He came.

His coming was prophesied, and when He arrived, the devil started work immediately to stop him before He fulfil his purpose.
Jesus being aware of the devils plan (including plans of turning the people against him when He reveals his identity as God), he tactically played them. He had to teach them about the father and incre their understanding so as for them to believe when he says he is gGod and not condemn him to death.

At a point, when Jesus started his healings, demons wanted to reveal his identity and Jesus comanded them to keep quiet, as it was not yet time for him to do so.

when Jesus has done all he came to do and it was time, He finally said He was God Almighty and that was what led to His crucifixion.
Jesus said, I pre-existed Abraham. He said " Abraham, 'I am' ". That statement "I am" signifies God almighty, who is the creator of the world, who is the God of Abraham.

And the jews said, for good works, we stone you not, but for being a man and making yourself God, we stone you.
Jesus made it clear about his identity, only understand that he revea his identity in stages so he could have enough time on earth to make disciples.

You need to study the Life of Jesus and not just bring out scriptures to say who he is, or is not.

Empiree:
And what difference does it make if I typed anything out?. You are folks who already made up your mind. Y'all simply scared to watch it. He brilliantly refuted those silly accusations. You people simply have made up your mind that no matter what, Muhammad did this and that.

Unfortunately i cant help you. I am sure some christians will eventually take their time to watch. I am not going to waste my time.



Now, same accusations you guys raised are pretty much in your Bible. Let us look at female captive in the Bible (Deuteronomy 21:10-14)




10 “When you go out to war against your enemies, and the Lord your God gives them into your hand and you take them captive,

11 and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you desire to take her to be your wife,

12 and you bring her home to your house, she shall shave her head and pare her nails.

13 And she shall take off the clothes in which she was captured and shall remain in your house and lament her father and her mother a full month. After that you may go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.

14 But if you no longer delight in her, you shall let her go where she wants. But you shall not sell her for money, nor shall you treat her as a slave, since you have humiliated her."


That's just a tip of iceberg ^


If you want muslims to reject Islam base on story of Saffiya etc. I can go to the Bible for a similar incident Judges 21:10-24


10. So the assembly sent twelve thousand fighting men with instructions to go to Jabesh Gilead and put to the sword those living there, including the women and children.

11 “This is what you are to do,” they said. “Kill every male and every woman who is not a virgin.”


QUESTION: How do they know they are not virgin?. Interesting question, isn't?


Let's continue.....


Murder, rape, and pillage at Jabesh-gilead [size=14pt](Judges 21:10-24 NLT)[/size]

So they sent twelve thousand warriors to Jabesh-gilead with orders to kill everyone there, including women and children. “This is what you are to do,” they said. “Completely destroy all the males and every woman who is not a virgin.” Among the residents of Jabesh-gilead they found four hundred young virgins who had never slept with a man, and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh in the land of Canaan.

The Israelite assembly sent a peace delegation to the little remnant of Benjamin who were living at the rock of Rimmon. Then the men of Benjamin returned to their homes, and the four hundred women of Jabesh-gilead who were spared were given to them as wives. But there were not enough women for all of them. The people felt sorry for Benjamin because the LORD had left this gap in the tribes of Israel. So the Israelite leaders asked, “How can we find wives for the few who remain, since all the women of the tribe of Benjamin are dead? There must be heirs for the survivors so that an entire tribe of Israel will not be lost forever. But we cannot give them our own daughters in marriage because we have sworn with a solemn oath that anyone who does this will fall under God’s curse.”

Then they thought of the annual festival of the LORD held in Shiloh, between Lebonah and Bethel, along the east side of the road that goes from Bethel to Shechem. They told the men of Benjamin who still needed wives, “Go and hide in the vineyards. When the women of Shiloh come out for their dances, rush out from the vineyards, and each of you can take one of them home to be your wife! [size=14pt]And when their fathers and brothers come to us in protest, we will tell them, ‘Please be understanding. Let them have your daughters, for we didn’t find enough wives for them when we destroyed Jabesh-gilead. And you are not guilty of breaking the vow since you did not give your daughters in marriage to them.'”[/size] So the men of Benjamin did as they were told. [size=20pt]They kidnapped the women[/size] who took part in the celebration and carried them off to the land of their own inheritance. Then they rebuilt their towns and lived in them. So the assembly of Israel departed by tribes and families, and they returned to their own homes.



^^^

So this is what the Bible says about taking captives when their is shortage of them. They hide behind the bush and ambushed the people without their consent. Is this not rape?


Now, let's see what the Bible say about rape, THE LAW OF RA!PE (Deuteronomy 22:28-29)

"If a man is caught in the act of ra!ping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her."

^^^ WOWOW WOWO WOWOWOW WOWOWOW. tHIS IS WHAT THE bible SAYS ABOUT RA!PE. SO THE VICTIM THAT HAS BEEN RA!PED, NOT ONLY BEEN RA!PED BUT THEN HAS TO SUFFER THE BENEFITS OF THE RAPIST. tHIS IS WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT RAPE. This is what the Indians practice. They force the victim to marry her rapist. INTERESTING!!!

They copied the deed your bible


Regarding treatment of Slaves in Islam from a non Muslim perspective:


On the attitude of Muslim masters with his slaves, Will Durant says,

".......he handled them with a genial humanly that made their lot no worse - perhaps better as more secure than that of factory worker in nineteen century Europe"

That's what Will Durant said about female captives in Islam.


Source: Hurgronje C., Mohamadanism, (NY, 1916), p. 128 as quoted by W. Durant, The Story Of Civilization, vol. IV (NY 1950) p. 209

At the end of the 18 century , Mouradgea d'Ohsson (a main source of information for the Western writers on the Ottoman Empire) declared:

[size=13pt]"There is perhaps no nation where the captives, the slaves, the very toilets in the galleys are better provided for or treated with more kindness than the Muhammadans."[/size]


There are more quotes by non-Muslims on treatment of slaves in Islam. I can go ahead and quote more. So you guys can keep grumbling over and over. I dont owe any of you explanation. Force S!x and ra!pe are prohibited in Islam. The guy who claimed to be Muslim for 16 years is a liar. His arguments are completely refuted. Watch the video and educate yourselves.


Again, this is the refutation. If y'all brave enough just watch it and stop complaining.

Those scriptures are in the old testament.
Yes those things did happened,, but they were not instructed by God.
Though they belonged to the Chosen ones, they did do things out of their own reasoning.

if you read that same judges21:10 to the end, its written clearly there in verse 25 "in those days, there was no king in Israel:everyman did that which was right in his own sight"

During the reign of kings, there was more revelation knowledge of God as they began to consult the priest.

when Jesus Christ came, he came to show us the way. Christians are those who follow the teachings of Christ so dont quote the old testament to justify the atrocities Muslims comit even in this 21st century.

When last did you hear of Christians doing such?

What is it with these muslims?
I thought they dont believe that Jesus was crucified, that their god(Allah) took him away?

This is one significant diffrence between MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS.
the muslims do interpret the word of God with their senses without any spiritual understanding.
God has said that the just(righteous) shall serve Him in Spirit and in Truth.

Muslims dont believe in the spiritual.

Now referrin go that Scripture
Jesus came to fulfil the scriptures/prophesies of the old testament.
It was written , that satan was an angel of God but was cast down from heaven because of THE SIN OF PRIDE.
God had a plan to destr satan and created Adam and Eve, who were kept in the Garden of Eden and been trained to do that (they were to eat the fruit of good and evil at the appointed time) but satan corrupted them by making them to work against the commandment of God.

man was therefore also seperated from God because of THE SIN OF DISOBEDIENCE.
God again had another plan to salvage man from satan.
This time, He decided to come down to satans abode ( the world) and destroy him. This plan was prophesied in the old testament, that a virgin will conceive and bear a son and he shall be called Immanuel(meaning God with us).

That Scripture was fulfilled at the birth of Jesus.
Now Jesus is a name, God is not a name, its a nature. Its just like calling someone HUMAN, Dog, cat, etc. For you to differentiate a god, you give it a name, for you to differentiate a dog, you give it a name, etc.

The prophesy was fulfilled and God was born and was named Jesus and He dwelth amongst us. God (whom we named Jesus) categorically told the world who He was and His mission(which was to show us they way and to die for the fallen man so as to restore us back to the Adamic nature before they transgressed).

To still fulfil the scriptures (old testament) and the prophesy (because it was prophesied that the sin of the world was laid upon him), He willingly agreed to be crucified.
The scriptures again clarified that "He, bearing no sin, was made sin for us ..."
Jesus new the time for His crucifixion had come, He e en told his diciples about it. The night before he was to be crucified, he took his disciple to go and pray, be ause His Spirit was willing to be crucified but His flesh was weak.
At the end of the prayer , He said, let the will of the father be done, and not him(because he ould have es aped His crucifixion). Remeber what Jesus said when Peter one of His dis disciples brought his knife and cut off the ear of one of the soldiers who came to arrest Jesus. He took the ear and miraculously put it back on the soldier and asked peter "if I were to fight, wont I pray to heaven and my father will send multitude of angels to fight for me? He then told him to put down his sword and said "they thatkill by the sword will also die by the sword"

Now Jesus was arrested and was on the cross and still tempted by satan(through one of the prisoners who was crucified along with him) to safe himself.
On the cross, THE SIN OF THE WORLD
was eventually placed on Him and the father turned His back on Him (Because God seperated Himselffrom Jesus).
This was what led him to say "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAS THOU FORSAKEN ME?
This was the first time Jesus was seperated from the father.

When this was done, He declared and said, "IT IS FINSISHED"
NOW, if anyone dies in this world with sin, he is definately going to hell, it doesnt matter the good works he/she did. JEsus was taken to hell. When the sacrifice was accepted before God the Father, He was given dominion above all things including death (satan). This was how he defeated satan and freed those righteous ones who died and was in Aedis (a section of hell) including Abraham, Moses, etc.

God hates sin and sin seperates us from God. Jesus was forsaken by God because He took the SIN OF THE WHOLE WORLD upon himself for accepting to be crucified on the cross (because cursed is anyone who is crucified).

This is good news

Dont be confused.

Jesus Christ categorically stated it Himself. He said "I am the Truth, The Way and The Light, no onecomes tothe fatherexcept through me".

So, if you want to know the Truth, know Jesus.
if you want to know The way to Heaven, know Jesus and accept His Lordship.
If you want to know The Light, know Jesus.

Mohammed said He is a way, and wasnt certain about how to get to heaven.

other religions dont believe in Heaven or Hell.

yazach:
It is a fact that Islam is growing rapidly in the West. In the U.S. alone the number of Muslims has risen dramatically, from about 10,000 in 1900 to 3 million or more in 1991 (some authorities say 4.5 million). Most of this growth is due to recent immigration and the high birth rate of Muslims (5 children per family on average), rather than to conversion. Still, the number of those who convert to Islam is significant. In the U.S., the majority are African-American (a third of all Muslims according to most authorities), but there have also been significant numbers of Anglos to convert as well, many of them well-educated.
What is motivating people to turn to Islam? A recent article in Christianity Today (Aug 20,1990) reported that in the U.S., the average age of those converting to Islam (31) is about twice that for conversion to Christian faith (age 16). It listed 5 main reasons given for becoming Muslim: Islam's doctrine is simple and rational, all believers are equal, it is a "practical" religion, and lacks a priesthood. I read and clipped the article at the time, but when I recently pulled it out to re-read it, it struck me that those "reasons" merely parrot the arguments Muslim apologists use to propagate Islam. On reflection, I would say that all that they show is that Muslim apologetics is having some effect, but these are not necessarily what is motivating Americans to become Muslim.
An American Muslim interviewed in a fairly recent book (Neighbors: Muslims in North America. Friendship Press, 1989) gave the following reasons when asked why African-Americans are turning to Islam. I have heard the same things from African-Americans in Philadelphia more than once. First on his list is racism in the church. "The discrimination that we feel makes Islam attractive to us because it's a way of rejecting the culture that will not have us. In sociological terms I think that one of the reasons that many African-Americans go to Islam as opposed to Christianity--and many of us have been raised Christian--is that the people doing these things to us are also Christian." How often does one not hear it said, "America is no more segregated than at eleven o'clock on Sunday mornings." The second reason he gives is, I believe, also important in the conversion of Anglo-Americans. "Another factor--and this is part of what attracted me to Islam--is direction and discipline." Our society is disintegrating for lack of discipline, especially in the city. Through its disciplined life-style, to many people Islam seems to hold out the promise of helping them get their lives back in order again.
Finally, there is a third factor which probably no one would ever mention explicitly, for obvious reasons, but which, I believe, is nevertheless important. This is the fact that Islam offers a conversion experience and the opportunity to get one's life in order, without needing to confess ones sin and need of salvation. In fact, Islam makes quite a point of denying these truths. It tells people they do not need salvation; all they need is to follow the "guidance" of God's law, and they will make it to heaven. That is something the natural man likes to hear.

If you are a Bible student, you will know that all these things happening are a fulfillment of Bible Prophecies.
Now this is the beauty and authenticity of Christianity.
Having an understanding of the times and seasons will hlp you know that these things have been propheied and the end isnear.

The signs of the end of this world are coming to pass before our very eyes.
The master (Jesus) told us to watchout for these signs and this was prophesied (fortold) thousands of years ago.

I believe islam is not just a religion its an agenda and its the devils agenda.
The agenda of Islam to islamise the whole world is the devils agenda.

The end of this world is closer than all think.
The last sign will be the signing of the Great Treaty. Its a deal ISRAEL will sign for its protection because the security of israel will be greatly threatend (by Islam=Terrorists=Jihad).
this sign will soon come to pass because some nations are already offering to protect israel.

The devil isdoing his best to deceive as many humans as he can to join him to hell. So the news that many people, including "christians" are joining Islam at this time is not surprising.

Just as you have said , few are chosen.
I pray that we be counted worthy to take the first flight to escape the tribulation.
Islam is going to expand and then put up structures to favour those whom they have indoctrinated as banks (Islamic banks) will be acessed by them while those who refuse will be ...Buying and selling will be difficult.

Before these things will happen(the tribulation), the rapture would have taken place and its those who didnt make it that will undergo the tribulation.
For those christians who do not have the Word of GOD in their hearts at that time, it will be very difficult for them, for most of them will give up (to the anti-christ=Islam).

For those who have embraced the anti-christ unknowingly, you still have a chance now that the last move of the gospel is ongoing.
Its a known fact that christianity was brought to Africa by the americans but its now the other way round.
its all a fulfilment of Bible prophecies.

Remember in the Quran Allah charged mulsims to behead all believers in Christ or infidels?
Quran 8.12: "Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers:
I will instill terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks (behead them) and smite all their
finger-tips off them."

Now compare this with Revelations 20 vs 4
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that
were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his
image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a
thousand years.

Reading the book "The People vs Mohammed" just open my eyes to affirm the agenda of satan.
