We talked about the assorted religions that satan created to keep THE WANDERING MASSES (Group 2) endlessly distracted and directed away from the Truth.  However, we intentionally skipped one religion that satan specifically crafted to establish a military arm for himself.  His military arm is GROUP 3.  He designed this religion with a laser focus targeted on those wielding the Truth from God.  Namely, Christians and Jews.  The Truth is the bane of his existence, as well as those that know it.

Islam is one of satan’s most devastating lies.  As you will see, it is not only devastating in terms of loss of life, it is also devastating to the lives of those that are brought under its powerful evil bondage.  Particularly women.

Satan created Islam around 600-700 A.D.  At the highest level Islam is a religious construct that is inseparably infused with the laws and life of the 7^th century.  It has essentially deified 7^th century Arabian culture by codifying it into Islam’s holy books called the Quran and Hadith.  This has placed the entire Muslim population in a deity-mandated “time freeze” via the practice of the Quran and Hadith (i.e., Sharia Law).  What you see on the streets of countries that have instituted Sharia Law is the world that existed in the 7^th century because the Quran and Hadith direct essentially every aspect of life in minute detail for practicing Muslims.

This includes what they wear, how they dress themselves, how they undress, how they wipe after using the bathroom, how they apply punishments (beheading, chopping off hands, chopping off feet, etc.), buying and selling slaves (slavery is legal in Islam and still active in Sharia Law countries), the husband-wife relationship, how to position a person’s body to pray, what to say in prayer, what direction to pray, how many times a day to pray, the way eat, how to brush teeth, how to wash when they take a bath, etc.  It rigidly crafts and “locks” its followers into a 7^th century paradigm for all time (mentally, socially, culturally, and physically).

It should also be noted that Islam is a fully immersive self-contained world unto itself.  It is a religion, a political and governmental system, a constitution, a social system, and a highly complex legal system.  In Sharia Law countries children are immersed in the belief system from birth.  Everything in their world and all that they know revolves around and is rooted in Islam.

When a child learns Arabic it involves recitation from the Quran, when a child studies history it is within the context of the Quran, when they learn social studies it is within the context of the Quran, etc.  There is a reason that satan works to deeply engrain Islam’s belief-system from birth.  There are teachings in Islam that oppose the natural tendency that God gave children for love and for play (e.g., play with children regardless of color or race or religion).  As such he needs to overwrite children’s natural oppositional tendencies before the children are sentient.

Islam deviates markedly from satan’s typical love/peace/kindness “model” for an invented god/religion.  In this case, satan crafted Islam to draw-upon the carnal nature of MEN as the powerful motivational fuel to drive the military actions that he requires in his fight against God, the Truth, and mankind.  Islam offers its male followers satiation of a plethora deviant carnal desires under the umbrella of its holy mission and their associated “god given” holy liberties.  It is not surprising that satan said the “heavenly” reward for obedient Muslim men after they die is numerous virgins and an eternal erection (→ HERE).  Islam is really a repackaging the carnal-desire based truth-system we discussed in THE “TRANSITION” section but with a slight twist.

In this case, satan selected a number of his “best-selling” sins that appeal to various deviant behaviors and cravings in MEN and bundled them together in a “package deal” that he pre-approved as “good” in the holy documents he wrote through a demon-possessed minion.  The “package deal” includes:  power, exclusivity, copious sex with different women, pious hate, violence, lying, pride, and domination over others (particularly women).  In fact, “Islam” literally translated means “submission”.

Considering that satan was crafting his military via Islam it is not surprising that he made the objective of Islam world domination (one world “Ummah”).  The goal of Islam is Sharia Law applied to all people globally.

Before we discuss the beliefs of Islam we need to briefly look at the history of the religion.  Without an understanding of Islam’s history it’s NOT POSSIBLE to understand its doctrine because their “sacred” books have many internal conflicts and its history is the key to discerning which principles Muslims are supposed to practice.  This link gives a nice high-level summary of its history → Here.  If you don’t have internet access I’ll give a brief synopsis of Islam’s history below.

Muhammad was Islam’s creator and self-proclaimed holy prophet.  He was from Mecca and his family’s tribe worshipped a pagan moon god that was named “Allah”.  The god of Islam is the same pagan moon god that his tribe and family worshipped.  This is why mosques have the crescent moon above them.

Through meditation Muhammad began receiving revelations from his “angel” (i.e., satan or a demon) when he was about 40 years old.  These were certainly direct demonic encounters based on the content of the communication as well as the physical and mental torment Muhammad experienced while he received his “divine communications”.  Muhammad’s encounters are certainly reminiscent of the painful demonic experiences shared by the spirit-seeking Buddhist meditators from THE WANDERING MASSES section.  This is a useful link → Demonic Physical Evidence highlighting what his family, HIMSELF, and his followers testified and believed about his demonic possession (as you can see, these testimonies came from historic Muslim writings).  Islam was not crafted solely from the musings of an evil man; it also includes the inspired and narrated word of satan that satan used to construct his military over the generations.  This all started with his satanic seed that he planted in Muhammad in Mecca.

The seed germinated when Muhammad was able to gather a small band of believers in Mecca.  This small band of believers made their living by looting caravans that were traveling to Mecca to worship their particular pagan god.  At that time Mecca was a hub for the worship of many pagan gods, in fact, there were 300+ gods to which homage was being paid at Mecca.  Muhammad’s moon god was one of hundreds. [Note: in future years Muhammad decimated the other religions in Mecca after he learned the power of making “converts” to his moon-god religion using the sword].

Much of the internal conflict in Islam’s holy books (the Quran and the Hadith) is historical in nature and stems from Muhammad’s early attempts to be recognized by the Jews and Christians as a final or “Last Prophet”.  Muhammad’s claim to be the “Last Prophet” was rejected by the Jews in Mecca.  As a result of turmoil that Muhammad created in Mecca, he fled to Medina.  In Medina he tried again to be accepted as the “Last Prophet” by the Jews and Christians.  During this early timeframe in the Muslim religion Muhammad said favorable things about the Jews and Christians in an effort to win them over so they would follow him.  This period of Islam is recorded in the Meccan Quran.  In fact, at that time he even had his followers pray toward Jerusalem.

When the Jews and Christians rejected him at Medina as the “Last Prophet” satan directed Muhammad to take an entirely different strategy…kill and destroy.  Muhammad subjugated and/or brutally killed those around him that would not convert to Islam (with special focus on the Jews and Christians).  This became his modus operandi and “holy” expectation for his followers to emulate as recorded in their sacred Medinan Quran.  This is called “Jihad” or holy war.  Approximately 60% of the Quran is about Jihad.

There are many different kinds of Jihad.  Examples of the various Jihads are, Jihad of:  the sword, culture, finances, ethnic cleansing, slavery, deception, war, taxation, polygamy (i.e., to multiply rapidly and outnumber their enemies).  Jihad is very important to the Muslim faith.  In fact it is the 6^th pillar of Islam and sits above their 5 core pillars.  Jihad is the second most important “holy” command from Muhammad to his followers and it is considered the “chief” meritorious act in Islam.

Because of the internal conflicts in Islam’s sacred writings between the early Quran (Mecca – which was tolerant and spoke favorably of Jews and Christians) and the later Quran (Medina – which pronounced Jihad on them), Islam specifies the use of Abrogation (← Link) to determine which conflicting text is valid and should be practiced.  Abrogation stipulates that whatever statement was said last (i.e., said most recently) in the Quran, abrogates or over-rides the conflicting earlier statement.

The Quran itself contains the requirement that later verses abrogate conflicting earlier verses (Surah 2:106 and 16:101).  As you can see, Muhammad’s trip to Medina is where he ultimately decided to kill and destroy the Christians and Jews and this was the last thing he did, and the last thing he told his followers to do.  As such, per the Quran’s requirement this abrogates everything contrary to this message previously recorded.  This link → Here is a brief summary showing the Quran’s early peaceful verses that were abrogated by later violent verses.

History books are replete with examples of how satan used the Catholic religion to kill hundreds of thousands of Christians and burn Bibles through-out history.  However, satan’s creation of Islam brought his military attack capability to a whole new gruesome level.  The historical and ongoing human carnage inflicted on any group Islam touches is heart-wrenching.  This carnage includes its own believers as they endlessly fight between themselves (e.g., Sunni versus Shia).

The death toll of satan’s most hated enemies (i.e., Jews and Christians) by the hands of his Muslim minions is staggering.  The following link provides a real-time list of Christians killed by Muslim attacks since Sept 11^th → HERE.  In case you are reading this offline I’ve pasted the top portion of a very long 1600+ line list of heart-wrenching atrocities that have resulted in the massacre of ~35,000+ Christians by Muslims in the name of Islam since Sept 11, 2001. 

(the short excerpt below was extracted in summer 2019 from the 1600+ line list)

There is a reason that the mainstream media doesn’t cover the gruesome atrocities listed in the link above.  We’ll briefly discuss the reason later.

It is estimated that approximate 270 million people have been slaughtered since ~700 A.D. in the name of Islam (Reference).  If you’ve ever wondered who satan hates, look at who he targets to kill as a theme throughout history using the hands of his assorted lie-fueled pawns (Nazis, Romans, Catholics, Muslims, etc.).

If you are still unsure whether Islam is peaceful or not, this is a really nice synopsis → Here that will undoubtedly solidify the point in your mind beyond any reasonable doubt.

I would like to highlight that the Muslim people are NOT the enemy, the enemy is satan.  Satan hates each Muslim as much as he hates everyone else.  He uses them as a whirlwind of destruction to destroy themselves and destroy others around them.  These folks are flesh-n-blood like all of us.  Unfortunately they have been immersed and thoroughly indoctrinated from birth into a powerful lie that controls their “truth-system”, their world-view, and their associated actions.  As we saw earlier…

• “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Eph 6:12)

If we pause for a moment and ponder Islam’s history; the tactics satan was using in the “real” battle are obvious.  Satan tried to destroy the Truth held by the Christians and Jews from inside the church by having Muhammad pose as the “Last Prophet”.  If he would have been accepted, this would have enabled satan to modify and/or overwrite the Bible through Muhammad’s satanically directed hands.

However when that failed, satan changed the “holy doctrine” of Islam and directed his followers to destroy them through the endless holy requirement of Jihad.  The creation of Jihad also enabled satan to nucleate and grow his ever increasing military arm (exponentially growing in numbers through polygamy, “holy” sex slaves, and forced conversions).

Islam’s gruesome 7^th century murderous norms and pious hate was established as a holy obligation that is perpetually mandated to all Muslims per their holy books.

However, it’s not that simple.  If you ask many Muslims if they plan to kill or subjugate all Jews, Christians, and other infidels they will likely say “no” even though their holy books require it.  [Note:  by definition infidels are people that are not Muslim; however, in actual practice it really refers to Jews and Christians…”people of the Book” in Islam].  There are two reasons for their reply of “no”:

• Jihad of Al-Taqiyya (pronounced Taq-hee-ya) for the Shia, or Muda’rat for the Sunni;

or

• They are “non-Muslim Muslims”

We’ll discuss reason #1 first (Al-Taqiyya):

I know that it will be difficult for a Western mind to comprehend this reality, but lying is NOT wrong to a practicing Muslim.  The Muslim doctrine that permits and endorses lying is called “Al Taqiyya” (also known as Jihad of Deception).  The Quran permits Muslims to lie in various circumstances.  One of these circumstances is interacting with infidels (non-Muslims).  Muslims can say whatever they need to say to bring a person into Islam (i.e., lying for the cause of Islam).  Muslims can quote parts of the Quran that they know are not valid due to Abrogation, and/or deliver an elaborate false diatribe on the writings in the Quran and Hadith in an effort to convince a person that they should join Islam.  To them, the end justifies the means.  The “means” of lying is just as acceptable as the ”means” of holding a sword to someone’s throat and saying “convert or die”.

Since Islam permits lying to infidels a practicing Muslim can look you straight in the eye (or straight into a camera) and lie and then enjoy the full approval of their god and their people.    Their public spokes-people leverage this “persuasive flexibility (aka lying)” all the time using the MEDIA and INTERNET as their communication platform.  As such, the internet and media are a COMPLETE wasteland of propaganda and lies about Islam.

This landscape of lies is enabled and exacerbated by an interesting common-bond that Islam shares with satan’s militant Group 1 vocal activists that occupy the leadership chairs across our mainstream media outlets.  We will briefly discuss the root of this peculiar 7^th century to 21^st century common-bond at the end of this section.

I’ll stress this as strong as I can…you CANNOT… CANNOT… CANNNOT… CANNNNOT!!!!! use the internet or direct communication with a practicing Muslim as a source of information about Islam (→ HERE).  In fact, there have been American women that have walked down the aisle and married Muslim men only to find-out that their Muslim husband lied to them throughout their courtship so that he could bring them into Islam.

Reason #2 that they may reply “no” is that they are “Non-Muslim Muslims”:

The media talks about “radicalized” Muslims causing all the horrific acts around the world.  As you will soon see, these are not “radicalized” Muslims, they are the actual Muslims because they are following the Quran and Hadith.

However, there are plenty of so-called “Muslims” that don’t do these things, but (by definition) they are not real Muslims because they are NOT following the Quran and Hadith.  I have good friends that are non-Muslim Muslims.  We get along great and I’ve been friends with some for decades.  This is the experience of many folks because they personally know non-Muslim Muslims.  Characterizing non-Muslim Muslims as true Muslims muddies the mental waters regarding the actual religion of Islam.  Satan loves the unbridled destruction he is able to do to mankind through Islam by broadcasting the faces and voices of the “non-Muslim Muslims” as a tool to paint his demonic religion in a peaceful light so that he can protect it and perpetuate it.

This is satan’s goal.  He wants to hide his insidious evil teachings behind a storefront that looks nice.  Whether they are aware of it or not, the peaceful non-Muslim Muslims are just as much a part of satan’s destructive plans as his active practicing Muslims.

Interestingly, there is an analogous issue in Christianity.  There are many people that claim to be Christians because they grew up in a Christian family and they go to church (or they go to church on Christmas and Easter).  However, they don’t personally know Jesus, the Holy Spirit does not reside in them, and they don’t know/follow the Bible, as such, they are “non-Christian Christians”.   These so-called “Christians” will stand-up and say heretical things like “all religions lead to heaven, and that there is no hell, and satan doesn’t exist, and Jesus didn’t need to die, etc.”.  They become false voices for the Christian faith and incorrectly represent its doctrine because they don’t want to believe what the Bible actually says, or they are ignorant of what it says.  In essence, they have created and profess their own concocted religion and call it Christianity.

This is the same phenomenon occurring with non-Muslim Muslims.  They present a pleasant face to the religion but don’t actually practice it as stipulated and required in their sacred books.  With that said, there is one fundamental difference between the non-Christian Christian and the non-Muslim Muslim.  That difference being, non-Christian Christians are hiding God’s Truth, whereas non-Muslim Muslims are hiding one of satan’s great lies.  Both groups are unknowing pawns being strategically used for satan’s purposes.

When you combine the non-Muslim Muslims “positive storefront” with the gushing praise that the mainstream media heaps upon Islam, you end up with a devastating religion that is deceptively cloaked with a resilient positive façade.

The question becomes…”what doctrine sits behind this positive façade”.  What does Islam teach its followers?  We’ve officially covered a high-level history of Islam and the way that Islam’s followers are required by the Quran to interpret their “holy” writings.  However, with exception of Jihad, we haven’t discussed what satan has actually written in the Quran and Hadith.  We will endeavor to surface Islam’s core teachings next.

As we have discussed, it is difficult to discern Islam’s actual doctrine due to the wasteland of false teachings and propaganda fostered by the Quran’s commands.  It is difficult for a non-Muslim to extract a proper understanding of Islam by reading the Quran/Hadith because the books are not in chronological order so applying Abrogation correctly is not feasible without consulting Muslim experts.  Consulting Muslim experts then opens the door for Taqiyya, meaning that a person wouldn’t know if they were told the truth or not.  Satan is the author of confusion; Islam is a great example of his handiwork.

With all that said, it is important to get to the bottom of Islam’s teachings because it defines how satan’s military thinks, what they are doing, and what their plans are in the future.  The world we see around us is a direct product of his military’s actions because the Muslim population has grown to be quite large (~25% of the global population is Muslim).

Keeping the “minefield of lies” in mind, there are a number of “approaches” to learn the truth about Islam’s core beliefs:

1) Listening to former practicing Muslims that have converted to Christianity.

True Christians are required by God to always speak the truth and they are taught to love everyone (even their enemies).  True Christians will communicate with honesty and are not driven by hate; so there is no reason for these former Muslims to embellish or demonize.  In fact, most have ministries to reach their former brethren and families.

• • • Video interviews are great because you can hear from them directly
    • Some former Muslims also have websites that they use to share the Truth in greater detail

2) Engaging Muslims in a fashion that they don’t feel compelled to invoke “Taqiyya” in their responses.

3) Observing how the Muslim community and its leadership respond to murderous acts executed by its followers in the name of Islam.

4) Assessing the fruit/actions produced from those that follow the Quran and Hadith (not non-Muslim Muslims). In essence, are the actions of the followers consistent with Islam’s doctrine.

Let’s look at APPROACH 1) – Information from Ex-Muslims

It’s not bed of roses for these ex-Muslims that are now Christians because they need to keep ahead of the countless death threats and legitimate attempts on their lives from Muslim believers.  They are courageous folks…I’ve heard them say that they were willing to die for a fake god when they were Muslim, as such, they have no hesitation to die for the real God now.  Since they are willing to die to speak the truth, we should listen carefully.  God obviously has plans for these folks and He is protecting them.  Below are some short video segments sharing information about Islam from those that know it intimately and have lived-it in various countries.

Islam Doctrine

• Nonie Darwish (Egyptian – former Muslim – father was a Martyr)
  • • Islam beliefs → Video Clip Here
    • Sharia laws – Blasphemy, Slander, Insults, Taqiyya → Video Here
• Brigitte Gabriel (born and raised in Lebanon, survivor of Islamic terror)
  • • Her experience from childhood → Video Clip Here [Quite the history lesson]
    • The role of the non-Muslim Muslims → Video Clip Here
• Kamal Saleem (Sunni Muslim PLO Terrorist – Career Mercenary)
  • • His testimony is truly remarkable and you will learn quite a bit. He came to America with the mandate of Cultural Jihad.  → HERE (PLEASE WATCH THIS SHORT CLIP)
• Usama Dakdok (Born & educated in Egypt, University level study of Sharia Law)
  • • Islam beliefs → Video Clip
    • He found that all English versions of the Koran were full of misrepresentations
    • He crafted the 1^st true Arabic to English translation of the Koran → Video Clip
• Walid Shoebat (born & raised in Jordan – former Muslim – former PLO terrorist)
  • • → Video of Walid’s testimony and his discussion of Islam

Note:  satan hates Walid for revealing his lies; so he uses CNN, the internet, and others to try to discredit him.  This is Walid’s detailed work refuting all the lies trying to discredit him.

• Zak Anani (Former Lebanese Terrorist) → Video Clip Here

Testimonies

• Al Fadi (Former Sunni Muslim – Saudia Arabia) → Video Here

[He memorized ½ the Quran by age 12.  He is a part of the “Answering Islam” website]

• Zak Gariba (former Muslim Imam – Nigeria) → Part 1, Part 2 [Relationship vs Religion]

You’ll notice that the Islam professed by those that have lived it is the opposite of the Islam that is trumpeted across the Mass Media outlets and proclaimed by government officials and public schools.  By now you undoubtedly see that this is NOT A COINCIDENCE…in the same way that it is NOT A COINCIDENCE that the Christianity proclaimed by the Mass Media is the opposite of what the Bible says.

APPROACH 2) – Information gathered from practicing Muslims that are not applying Taqiyya

The videos above are helpful because we know that we are getting the truth, but it would be even more helpful if thousands of Muslim voices around the world could speak what they truly believe.  We will endeavor to achieve that goal by using the results of numerous public polls taken from those that profess to be Muslim.

The reality exists that a practicing Muslim that responded to poll may have elected to lie via the application of Taqiyya.  However, there are likely others that responded honestly with the perspective that they were not engaging an infidel conversion target, as such there was no need to lie and they were free to answer with pride in their beliefs.  Others would be non-Muslims Muslims that responded with an “Islam-ish” belief-system/religion they’ve embraced.

Considering the 3 types of poll respondents we’d get:

• Type 1 would not represent Islam’s beliefs due to the application of Taqiyya in their answers;
• Type 2 would represent Islam’s beliefs as they respond with pride in what they believe; and
• Type 3 would not represent Islam’s beliefs because they are non-Muslim Muslims.

As such we can view poll statistics as being conservative (i.e., biased toward creating a positive rendering of Islam’s doctrine).  For example, if 25% of Muslim respondents say they believe that killing a family member for leaving Islam is acceptable/honorable, the actual number may actually be 40%…but it is definitely not less than 25%.

For all the cases in the section below, the Quran and Hadith verses are included to provide the “holy writings” in Islam that act as the driver for the associated poll’s statistics.  In cases where poll statistics do not exist, the relevant Quran and/or Hadith reference are provided with expert commentary from ex-Muslim’s that are now Christian, Atheist, or Agnostic.

This site → HERE shares the results of ~200 polls from across the world from countless different polling agencies.  I have endeavored to bundle relevant polls into Islamic belief categories to illustrate the percentage of Muslims that chose to share that they hold the associate belief.  Note:  Due to the dynamic nature of the internet, links to some source polls may have become broken over time.

As you read through the various core beliefs in the Quran and Hadith listed below you will see that it is entirely evident that satan wrote them.  Below is what satan wrote and what Islam teaches:

REQUIRED ANTI-SEMITISM, i.e., hatred for Jews.  Also hatred of Christians.  Jews and Christians are referred to as “People of the Book” in Islam.

The Group 1’s Mass Media sector leads people to believe that “radicalized Muslims” are a small Quran-defying fringe element of an otherwise peaceful religion.  As you can see the from the percentages above that this is not true.  To augment these percentages, here are some global population numbers → Here to support the materiality of the poll percentages above.

That fact that a “radicalized Muslim” is simply a person that chooses to follow Islam as recorded in the Quran and Hadith is very dangerous because at any time a Non-Muslim Muslim can decide to start following the Quran, and then another “terrorist” is born out of thin air wherever they happen to be living.  According to this poll, this is a well-traveled path by “terrorists” (Blair Institute for Global Change (2017) & Source 2):

• 77% of British terrorists belonged to non-violent Islamic groups PRIOR to joining a terror group

APPROACH 3) – Islamic leadership’s response to horrific acts executed in the name of Islam

There is a category of Islam’s followers that we haven’t discussed.  These folks brazenly stand in front of cameras and the media and proudly say exactly what Islam says and they act in obedience to Islam’s teachings.  The Mass Media generally hides/suppresses these folks and labels them as radicals / terrorists / extremist that don’t represent Islam.  However, we can learn about Islam indirectly from these folks.  The key insight that we are looking for comes from the Islamic community’s RESPONSE to the actions of these folks (i.e., when the leadership are not being interviewed by the Media).

• Are the perpetrators of horrible acts of violence performed in the name of Islam shunned by Islam’s leaders as blasphemers that profess lies about Islam. Are they ex-communicated from Islam?

OR

• Are they exalted and praised by Islam’s global leadership for their words and for their works?

If it is the latter, then we know the heart of the religion at the highest levels.

TheReligionofPeace has useful high-profile test-case for the assessment, Ahlam Tamimi.  In case you don’t have an internet connection here are the facts.

Facts:

• Ahlam planted a bomb in a grocery store and also selected Sbarro’s pizza for a bombing. Both acts were aimed at killing civilians (men, women, children). Her words:

“This is the path. I dedicated myself to Jihad for the sake of Allah, and Allah granted me success. You know how many casualties there were. This was made possible by Allah.”

• When she took the bus home after the attack. Her words:

“Afterwards, when I took the bus, the Palestinians were all smiling. You could sense that everybody was happy. When I got on the bus, nobody knew that it was me who had led [the suicide bomber to the target]… inside the bus, they were all congratulating one another. They didn’t even know one another, yet they were exchanging greetings… As the number of dead kept increasing, the passengers were APPLAUDING.”

• Her sentiment after ~10 years in an Israeli prison, she said:

“I admit that I was a bit disappointed, because I had hoped for a larger toll. Yet when they said “three dead,” I said: ‘Allah be praised’…Two minutes later, they said on the radio that the number had increased to five. I wanted to hide my smile, but I just couldn’t. Allah be praised, it was great.”

• During an interview ~10 years later, Ms. Tamimi expressed JOY when hearing for the first time that EIGHT CHILDREN had been killed – one more than what she had previously thought. She could not stop smiling at the news.
• Ahlam Tamimi was part of a group of terrorists released in an October 2011 swap for an Israeli prisoner of Hamas.

This woman’s actions and source of pleasure would surely send shivers up the spine of the average person.  What happened to her after she was released?

Global Muslim leadership’s response:

• Was there outrage in the Muslim community for the release of a unrepentant professing Muslim that intentionally slaughtered innocent people in the name of Islam? – NO
• Was she globally recognized and rewarded by Islam’s senior leaders? – YES

[Note:  The pilgrimage to Mecca is very exclusive in Islam, e.g., the waiting-list in Indonesia is 39 years after spending ~1 month’s salary to be in the lottery]

• Islam’s senior leadership personally invited her and the other released “terrorists” to visit Mecca
• They were invited as guests of the Saudi King
• They were flown there on the Saudi King’s private jet

The response from Islam’s leadership demonstrates their “approval” of the murderous actions executed in the name of Islam.

APPROACH 4) – Assess if the actions of Islam’s followers are consistent with Islam’s doctrine?

The Islamic doctrine discussed so far has highlighted there exists a perpetual “holy” requirement to kill infidels.  This understanding was established by ex-Muslim testimonies, Muslim poll results, Quran and Hadith writings, and the responses of Islam’s leadership to killing in the name of Islam.  The discussion at the beginning of this section ties this understanding together with the historic and modern-day actions of Muslims revealing that they are consistent with Islam’s teaching.  As we discussed, approximately 270 million Jews and Christians have been slaughtered to-date; with ~35,000 killed since Sept 11, 2001 (via 1600+ attacks).  There is a historic and modern-day harmony between Islam’s teachings and its followers actions.

At this point it should be overwhelmingly clear that satan hand-crafted Islam to wreak death and destruction on mankind.  He uses it to bring about tremendous carnage and abuse within Islam while at the same time he uses it to destroy and wreak havoc on everyone outside of Islam.  He has effectively crafted a powerful weapon in the real war that we see the evidence of every day.  Now that we know the doctrine and motivations of his military, the question arises…how does he preserves/grow his army?

To maintain his military force he must keep fresh meat flowing into his army from outside Islam so that he can offset his continuous loss of soldiers due to:

• Internal slaughter (e.g., Sunni vs Shia)
• Casualties in his “Jihad” against the world
• Natural mortality
• Willing exits

As we’ve seen, satan has put rules into the Quran and Hadith to ensure that his soldiers don’t willingly exit by imposing a “holy” death-sentence on anyone that leaves Islam.

In the past satan was able to add soldiers to his army by attacking new lands and people-groups and then forcing his captives to convert to Islam via the sword.  However, that avenue has diminished in our highly integrated and weaponized modern age.  As such, his modern-day remedy for daily casualties is made primarily through elevated reproduction rates (→ Here) and aggressive indoctrination.  A Pew research study estimated that only 0.3% of growth in Islam is from conversion, the other 99.7% is from reproduction.

As a result, satan focuses on indoctrinating children as young as possible to build soldiers for his army.  These videos show a snapshot of what the satan’s Group 1 global media pawns refuse to share (these are hidden videos from the classrooms showing what they’re actually teaching behind closed doors…you’ll hear it for yourself) → Kindergarten Graduation and UK School and Innocent Children and 3 yr Old Child (notice how they say she is a real Muslim…they know about Non-Muslim Muslims).  As we discussed earlier, satan needs to deeply embed his lie-based Islamic reality before, during, and after children become sentient.  This ensures that their world-view, reality, and “truth-system” are built solely upon his lies.  As the videos above demonstrate, he is relentless.

Before we wrap-up this section, let’s briefly touch-on the peculiar “common-bond” between the 21^st century mainstream media and the brutal 7^th century religion of Islam.

Due to Islam’s destructive power Satan pushes Islam heavily within his global network of minions.  As a result, his obedient and highly motivated Group 1 vocal armada embrace it, trumpet it, defend it, and work tirelessly to perpetuate it.  The Group 1 armada use their media outlets, educational systems, and legal/governmental systems to achieve their master’s goal.  This is done even in the face of mind-numbing hypocrisy and the mass destruction of human life.  The reason for this peculiar harmonious bond has to do with a common root that presents a material risk to the lie-paradigm that underpins the “reality” of both groups.

Satan crafted Islam’s “holy” doctrine to codify the destruction of those that carry the Truth (Bible).  Satan’s Muslim military has a holy “pious obligation” to carry-out these destructive actions.  The root for Islam is hate for the Truth and those that carry it. 

As we saw earlier, the Group 1 minion armada is committed teach the world to embrace and adopt their All-Sin “truth-system”.  They believe that this is their “pious moral obligation” to humanity.  The root for Group 1 is also a hate for the Truth and those that carry it because it stands in direct opposition to the implementation of their All-Sin “truth-system”.

As you can see the root and unifying common bond between Islam and satan’s Group 1 minions is a mutual hate for the Truth and those that carry it (i.e., Jews and Christians and the Bible).  This “common enemy” bond is so strong that each group continues to leverage each other despite significant conflicts in the core-beliefs of each group (e.g., homosexuality, women’s rights, slavery, individual freedom, etc.).

In essence, the love, tolerance, protection, and praise for Islam by the mainstream media and the liberal public exists because they are all of one spirit with their master satan and he HATES the Truth because it can decimate his lie-based global empire and his destructive plans for mankind.  This symbiotic Islam-to-Group 1 relationship is relatively easy to see in practice.

For example, satan’s Group 1 POLITICAL minions work within their domain to disperse satan’s Muslim warriors into countries all over the world through various governmental policies, initiatives, and support agencies.  In turn, satan’s “military” unit begins to multiply rapidly in the country they are placed (using the Jihad of Polygamy) while they persecute/kill/rape/harass/etc. the country’s resident Jews/Christians/infidels as soon as they hit the ground (using the other forms of Jihad).

Group 1 MEDIA leaders work to hide/suppression the 1000’s of gruesome acts flowing from the hands of those that practice Islam while at the same time their Group 1 EDUCATION-SYSTEM counterparts introduce education on Islam across all feasible outlets under the umbrella of anti-hate, “inclusion”, and “diversity”.  Here is an interview with two former Muslim Jihadists where they point-out the Media’s endless silence on Islam’s gruesome acts → News Interview.

As you can see, if any one of the Group 1 minion parties (Government, Media, Education) didn’t do its job, then the advancement of Islam and its attack on the Truth would be halted/hindered.  But satan has invisibly orchestrated these highly disparate groups in such a fashion that they work together seamlessly as a single body.

To be honest, this is remarkable.  In the corporate world it is very difficult to orchestrate and unify geographically, functionally, and culturally disparate groups into a seamless single operational unit.  This difficulty exists even though there is a unifying strategy penned, processes constructed, and dedicated leaders in all groups trying to make it work together.  For the case of the Islam-Group 1 destruction machine there is no unifying strategy penned, no processes, and no formal leadership network.  The only leader is satan; his scattered minions blindly, and unknowningly, follow his direction.

Satan ensures that people who decide to vocally praise Islam are praised by the media and his global network.  If anyone dares to raise a critical word about Islam, then they are publically ostracized and attacked as hateful Islam-a-phobic bigoted racists.  In conflict with all rational thought, satan’s Group 1 children blindly follow their master’s command even though it would ultimately mean their own death, or subjugation, if Islam’s one world “Ummah” was realized and they didn’t convert to Islam.

I think this pretty much covers satan’s military, their marching orders, their future plans, his head-count maintenance/growth strategy, and his global deployment strategy.  As you study the world around us you can see that it reflects the reality we’ve discussed (unfortunately).

The reason the world looks like a battlefield between good and evil is because it is a battlefield.  The battle is in the realm of the invisible, while the resulting carnage lies in the realm of the physical.  When surveying our world through the lens of the Truth our reality makes complete sense.  It is heart-breaking, but it makes sense.

At this point in our discussion it is evident that satan is running a lie-fueled highly integrated and sophisticated global empire bent on crafting and controlling the “reality” that mankind experiences (religions, media, schools, etc) so that he can control what mankind believes. When he controls what they believe, he marches the masses along one or more of the four his well-designed conversion paths that leads them to their own destruction and mankind’s destruction.

Yes, this does include all mankind, the whole world.  Satan’s appetite for destruction is insatiable and his plan is the merciless physical and spiritual decimation of every one of God’s beloved children…all mankind.

“… and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.”(1Jo 5:19)

We’ve done quite a bit of “testing” of the Bible already (archaeology, predicting the future, probabilities, science, number of transcripts, external sources, dead sea scrolls, etc.).  Let’s look at what the deviation from the Truth looks like.

In the same way that Truth proves itself to be true, lies also prove themselves to be lies…EVENTUALLY.  Similar to our observations in THE WANDERING MASSES section, satan usually works-it so that by the time someone finds-out that they’ve been chasing a lie, the person is too deeply embedded in their sin to escape its bondage and their life is train-wrecked (spiritually train-wrecked at a minimum). 

• “His own iniquities entrap the wicked man, and he is caught in the cords of his sin.”(Pro 5:22)

For example, satan will advertise drunkenness as harmless, playful, exciting, and fun; with promises of a fulfilled life with friends, family, and good times.

Satan starts his deception by endeavoring to convince his prey that his lie is the truth.  For the case of drunkenness, he starts the process by encouraging someone to participate in their first drunken fun-filled party with “friends” and he convinces them that it is a normal “core element” of popular life.  He’ll tell them brain damage from alcohol consumption is a wives tale.

They have a great time, just like he said they would; so his lie seems believable and true.  They are warmly welcomed into the party community and a cohesive revelry-based bond is established with their comrades.  This first step is critical because he needs to provide something sufficiently tantalizing and compelling to draw the Truth-Rebel away from their existing life (and existing circle of friends) and into satan’s new “fun and exciting” drinking lifestyle.  With time, drunkenness becomes a fundamentally embedded core element of their life.  Their discretionary time soon becomes consumed with, and focused upon, “hanging-out” and partying with their friends.  As time progresses most all their friends are now drinkers.  With each passing day satan’s sin-hooks sink-in deeper and deeper into his “unknowing” prey.

After sufficient time, when his hooks are set deep enough, satan begins to wield his increasingly powerful wand of destruction that can take many forms…car accidents / promiscuity / rape / divorce / suicide / wife-abuse / child abuse / bankruptcy / vehicular homicide / loneliness / DUIs / illegitimate children / God rejection / hopelessness / homosexuality / hard drugs / etc.  The alcoholic generated at the end of satan’s process is a complete disaster.  Satan’s lie was not revealed right away, it was revealed as the Truth-Rebel became increasingly entangled while chasing down satan’s path to his promise of laughs, camaraderie, happiness, and fulfillment. 

You don’t see many billboards or commercials showing the lives of those that have chased drunkenness for 30 years.  I’m sure the end-result images and life-stories are not as easy to “sell” to next generation of Truth-rebels as a bunch of young beautiful people dancing and laughing together on a white sand beach with their colorful, ice-cold, tropical drinks in-hand and held high.  As I said, you can put pearls on a pig, but in the end, a pig is a pig!

This is what the Bible says about drunkenness:

• “Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust…” (Rom 13:13)
• “And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,” (Eph 5:18)
• “Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly! In the end it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper” (Pro 23:29-35)

Drunkenness was just an example, satan does the same thing for all of the assorted lies that he brings his targets to believe and perpetuate.  All his lies will separate them from God and from the Truth, and will bring destruction to them in one way, shape, form, or another (by design).

The march down the path of destruction for all his lies starts the exact same way.  It starts with the 1^st single step of compromise away from the Truth.  Compromise seems so unthreatening and innocuous (a sip, a puff, a small adulteress kiss, a sniff).  But it is like a spark in a hay stack.  Initially small and unthreatening, but it leaves nothing but devastation in its wake.  Satan is fully aware that his destructive plans are COMPLETELY RELIANT on compromise from the Truth. 

Since compromise is critical to his success he goes to great efforts to make the 1^st step look fun, exciting, tantalizing, cool, normal, and inclusive, while at the same time he makes not taking the 1^st step lonely, boring, embarrassing, uncool, nerdy, and full of rejection.  He uses his minions and all the other “agents-of-change” at his disposal (sitcoms, media, TV, schools, peers, etc.) to apply pressure to persuade his prey.

He uses cliché phrases like “gotta try everything once”, “live a little”, “don’t be so boring”, etc.  Once the 1^st step is taken, all subsequent steps are much easier because a new life precedent has been established and there is no longer a flawless clean record to protect in that particular area of life.  A loss of virginity is not reversible.

The unwanted pregnancy started with the 1^st time having sex outside of marriage, the alcoholic started with the 1^st drunken party, the homosexual started with viewing pornography or the 1^st gay experiment, the junkie started with the 1^st joint or 1^st  line of coke, the deadly venereal disease started with the 1^st sexual encounter outside of marriage, etc.  Let’s face it, a person can’t be tempted with the sensation from cocaine if they have never tried it (satan is very aware of this). 

Satan’s freeway of destruction is paved with the bodies of folks that took the 1^st fateful step of compromise away from the protective shield contained in the Truth.  God wrote what He wrote for a reason, to protect His beloved kids.  He is not a kill-joy, on the contrary, He is actually the joy provider (the only provider).

Nowadays it can be a challenge discerning satan’s lies from the Truth.  One thing to be keenly aware of, is that we are in a time in history where false teachers / pastors are everywhere.  They are teaching from satan’s play-book by preaching what Man’s sin-filled heart wants to hear (in fact, I’m convinced we are in the Last Days due to recent prophecy fulfillment).  The Bible says that the lies would become so pervasive, and persuasive, that they would almost deceive the elect.

• “For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” (Mat 24:24)
• “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” (1Jo 4:1)
• “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.” (2Ti 4:3-4)
• “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;” (1Ti 4:1)

The degree of apostasy in the Christian church is astounding at this point in time (2Th 2:3, note, the Greek for “Falling Away” in this scripture means Apostasy). 

However, regardless of the uncountable number of lie purveying apostate leaders in our churches and seminaries, Jesus has given us a way to be taught the Truth.  He certainly didn’t leave the teaching of His precious Truth solely in the hands of sin-filled Man.   He knows Man is inherently sinful at his core and that lies and disaster would ensue.  We are watching it now in the apostate church.

As you can see, God tells us that mankind’s heart is fundamentally evil (NOT good).  This is a Truth you need to mentally embed:

• ”…I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth;…” (Gen 8:21)
• “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” (Jer 17:9)

Even our best works are no good:

• “…But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away.” (Isa 64:6)

Jesus could have remained on earth and taught us Himself.  We certainly would have gotten the Truth that way.  However, Jesus said that it is better that He ascend to heaven so that He could send the Holy Spirit to Man.

• “Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. (Jhn 16:7).
• “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth…” (Jhn 16:13)
• “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.” (Jhn 14:26)

That’s pretty amazing, and exemplifies the importance of the Holy Spirit in the life of a Christian.  We need to seek and listen to the Holy Spirit.  This is especially important in this time where apostate teachers are everywhere. 

We need to read the Word of God and let HIM teach us through the Holy Spirit.  The relationship, understanding, and knowledge that the Holy Spirit provides enables us to readily discern the true teachers walking with God, from the apostate teachers following satan.  The Holy Spirit’s personalized instruction enables unhindered direct access to the Truth so that everyone can freely receive, embed, and apply the Truth in their lives.  The Church was built through the Holy Spirit teaching the body of Christ across the world and throughout time.

We discussed that there are physical laws (e.g., 1^st and 2^nd law of thermodynamics, etc.) and spiritual laws that govern all that we see and don’t see.  These laws exist, we didn’t make them, and we have no idea where they came from.  But we do know that we can never break them.  If we try, we pay the penalty, e.g., disagreeing with gravity and trying to prove it wrong by jumping off a cliff will deliver a swift and permanent correction to our judgment.   

So far, I haven’t mentioned the key spiritual law that satan uses against everyone so that he can bring about their destruction.  It is the Law of sin and death.

• “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” (Rom 8:2)

The Bible tells us that the judgment for sin is death.  One sin gives the same penalty as 20 sins because they all get the same judgment (death).  The number of sins is irrelevant to the judgment, as well as the nature of the sin.  The Law doesn’t say “really bad” sin gets a different judgment than “less extreme” sin.  They are all sin, thus they all have the same judgment (death).  This is actually good, because if God made a solution for us for the death we owe, then it applies equally well to:  1) folks that have sinned an uncountable number of times with what we’d call horrible sins (e.g., murder); and 2) to folks that have not.  It will cover everyone because everyone has the exact same penalty to pay (death).

You may have heard people say, Jesus died to save us from our sin.  For a long time, even after I became a Christian, I could never understand why God made such a crazy rule.  Why didn’t He make something else like…”if you sin, you must squash a pumpkin on your floor, give money to a poor person, and do 10 good things…then your sins will be forgiven”.  I could never understand why He needed to leave Heaven, put on flesh, be tortured, and then slaughtered to pay for my sin.  I just couldn’t understand why He’d make such a strange rule…at least if I smashed a pumpkin, gave money to the poor, and did 10 good things, then it would be “me” paying for my own wrong actions…that made more sense to me.  However, I also knew God knows more than me, so I accepted that there was a good reason, and that He’d tell me about it when I got to Heaven.

I got my answer many years later in the form of a story.  I will share it with you in case you have a similar question (I don’t know who 1^st told it, but I’m sure the originator was the Holy Spirit).

A women was speeding in her car and was pulled over by a policeman.  He gave her a ticket.  Since she was going pretty fast she had to go to court. 

The judge that presided over her case was a good judge, honest, very well respected, and always ruled consistent with the law. 

She stood before the judge and he asked her, “were you speeding?”   She said, “yes.”  He slammed down his gavel and said you are fined $50.

He then got up from the bench, took off his judge’s robe, walked over to the county clerk, pulled out his wallet, and paid the $50 dollars.

The question is, WHY DID HE DO THAT?

The answer is, because it was his daughter. 

The same thing happens when we sin.  The law of sin and death stipulates that we owe one death. 

When we stand before God, He will look at us with eyes burning with love for His beloved child, and ask us, “did you sin?”  We must say “yes” because everyone has sinned (Rom 3:23).  Then He must bang-down His gavel and say, the judgment is death.  He must pronounce this judgment because it is the law and He is perfect, holy, and just.  Then He took-off his heavenly form, put on flesh in the form of Jesus and came to the earth He created, lived a sinless life and paid the “death” for us on the cross.  With this ultimate act of love completed, He ascended back to Heaven and offers the free gift of one “death-penalty credit” to anyone that wants to receive it so that they can choose to go to Heaven instead of going to Hell.  Jesus’ final words on the cross were “it is finished” (Jhn 19:30), i.e., the job He came to do was complete (“death paid”).

It is important to understand that we have the same option as the woman who was caught speeding.  She could have said, “NO, I’ll pay the $50 myself, I don’t want or need your help Dad.”  Likewise, people can chose to accept the free “death-penalty credit” offered through Jesus, or in their arrogant self-righteous pride, reject it and continue to chase after their personally hand-crafted god that they’ve created in their own image or the imaginary god satan made that makes them feel like they can work their way into heaven.  If they choose the latter, their god is powerless and will not be able to pay their death-penalty and save them.  They will pay it with their own lives and join satan for eternity in Hell (this has been satan’s ultimate goal all along).  God has given us “free will” to choose whatever direction we want to go.  God doesn’t send people to Hell, they choose to go there by intentionally erecting and worshipping their own god.  A god that can’t save them.

God went through these spectacularly drastic measures to offer His children a permanent heavenly escape from the incredibly unthinkable consequences of their own actions.  The Law of Sin and Death is just as real and unbreakable as the physical laws that govern the world we can see and can’t see (radio waves, etc.).  God went through these extraordinary measures because of His immeasurable love for us.  This is a video testimony (Segment 1, Segment 2) from a college professor that endeavors to explain the overwhelming love of God that he experienced when he died and returned to life (Note: he was an atheist before he died and visited the gates of hell and the gates of heaven before God sent him back to earth…he came back to life in the hospital as a Christian…much to the surprise and chagrin of his atheist wife).

Just think about it from His perspective…He left the perfection of Heaven, came to the earth He created in Jesus, humbly submitted Himself to the people He created, lived a perfect sinless life, sacrificed His life, and was resurrected by His own power enabling payment for each person’s death-penalty.  Keep in mind, He did this all the while His children were cursing His name, worshiping satan, sacrificing their children to satan’s god named Baal by burning them to death, rejecting Him over and over again, doing the opposite of what He commanded them to do, etc. 

This helps exemplify the incomprehensible level of love that He has for all His beloved children (no matter what they’ve done, or are doing…somehow He still loves us enough to die for us…mind-boggling love).  The Bible says that when a single person uses their free-will to choose the Truth and is saved, the heavenly hosts rejoice (Luk 15:10).

I mentioned earlier that God gives us a key test to discern if a teaching is the Truth, or lies.  This test relies on the ONE thing that satan would never include in his plethora of invented religions…

• “By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God.” (1Jo 4:2-3)

Some religions will say Jesus was good man, others will say He was a prophet, but none will ever say that Jesus is the Christ.  This is the absolute last thing satan wants people to know.  As you can see from all our previous discussions satan goes to incredible measures to keep this soul-saving Truth from people.

It is evident now why the Bible says that no one goes to Heaven except through Jesus (for obvious reasons).  It is not possible.  If it were possible, I’m pretty certain God would have worked the other avenues and avoided having to leave Heaven, put on flesh, be tortured, rejected, and mercilessly slaughtered in what doctors say is the possibly the most painful death (i.e., because it took a very long time to die on the cross, and the nails were driven into the main nerve channels in both the hands/wrists and feet, so the pain was excruciating as the weight of their bodies hung from their nerves).

• Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (Jhn 14:6)

The non-Christian Christians will say that there are many paths to Heaven.  They must think God is a masochistic idiot for coming to earth, putting on flesh, and being gruesomely slaughtered on the cross…for no apparent reason.  As we discussed, non-Christian Christians are unfortunately owned by satan; thus they are blind to reason and they believe and say what satan directs them to believe and say.

If you are not a Christian, and you are not sure what to do, ask yourself, “What is worst that could happen by believing the Bible is the literal Word of God?”.  Math & science verify it, and the testing of its Truth confirms it, the evidence in the world endlessly supports it.  There is nothing to lose by choosing to believe it (other than satan’s life-destroying shackles); and everything to gain (a day-by-day relationship with the God who made you and loves you regardless of your sins, and most importantly provides salvation from your death-penalty).

As discussed at the beginning of this letter, the truth-system you decide to believe and employ in your life solely determines your destiny.  And as we know, everyone has a truth-system because everyone chooses to believe something.  The question is whether it is actually true.  Making a mistake on this one has eternal irreversible consequences.   

If you’ve never said the Sinner’s Prayer to God then you NEED to start with this.  You may be just learning about all that God has done, and how it all works.  As such, this letter may be acting as the driver for a scheduled divine interaction between you and God for the first time (my heart jumps for joy just thinking about it).  God wants everyone to be saved; I’m sure you have been in His cross-hairs for a while, and I believe now is the time for you.

• “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (1Ti 2:3-4)

If you’ve never said the Sinner’s Prayer because you’ve always attended a Christian church and/or you were raised in a Christian family for much of your life, and have assumed that that must make you a Christian and saved you from your death-penalty, IT DOES NOT.  There are plenty of people in Church that are not Christians.  As we discussed at the beginning of this letter, just because I stand in a garage, it does not make me a car.  Just because a person stands in church, it does not make them a Christian.  These non-Christian Christians think they are doing their “good deeds” by going to church, and giving money to the church, so they can gain entrance into heaven.  The Bible tells us that this self-righteous pride will get them nothing.  Contrary to the doctrine taught in the assorted religions satan created, we can’t work our way into Heaven, it is NOT “good-works” based.  If the debt that is owed by a person is the death-sentence, it can’t be paid by mowing the lawn.  It must be paid with a death.

• “Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ (Mat 7:22 – Mat 7:23)

If you haven’t said the Sinner’s Prayer, then you need to say it. 

What is the Sinners prayer?  The Sinner’s Prayer is a formal LEGAL ORAL CONTRACT between YOU and GOD.  Since God doesn’t lie, cheat, or steal, it is a contract that He will never break; meaning you are assured of salvation – permanently.  This contract is not limited to only your past sins; it covers all of your past, present, and future sins.  When it is instituted, it is a done-deal, complete, finished, fully executed unchangeable contract.  There is no “working” to attain salvation.  In fact you couldn’t.  Hell is the legal sentence for evil done in a person’s life.  The opposite is NOT true.  Heaven is NOT attained by good things we do. 

• “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Eph 2:8-9)

We all owe one “death” and it must be paid.  The Sinner’s Prayer is also a contract that God deeply desires His children to enter into.  He cares so deeply that He wrote it with His blood. 

• “…He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.” (Col 2:13-14)
• “And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” (Col 2:15)
• “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (Jhn 3:16)
• “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Rom 10:9)

In a personal 1-to-1 dialogue with the God of the Bible you can (must):

• Confess that you believe that Jesus died and rose from the dead;
• Acknowledge that you are a sinner and need a savior; and then
• Ask for Him to pay the death-penalty that you owe using Jesus’ death as payment on your behalf.

Say the Sinner’s Prayer out loud (don’t be ashamed), and talk to God the same way you’d talk to people.  He is not looking for you to speak in old-english with “thees” and “thous” and “hithers”.  He wants to hear from YOU!  He already knows you inside and out…every hair on your head and every thought in your mind.  He loves you more than you will ever be able to understand.

• “…neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Rom 8:38-39)

If you haven’t said this prayer, it is eternally consequential and the most important contract you will ever enter into.  After this, ask Him to fill you with the Holy Spirit, fill you with wisdom (Jas 1:5), then dig-in to His word, and start praying and talking with Him all the time about everything.  Yes everything!  He wants to hear from YOU, He loves to hear your voice!

• “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1Th 5:17-19)
• “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” (Phl 4:6-7)

I only ask this – Each night, pray to Jesus Christ and ask Him to be with you and guide you by the Holy Spirit, and tell Him that you will apply what you read.  And then start reading the New Testament (i.e., it starts with Matthew…then Mark, Luke, John, etc).  The New Testament starts about 3/4ths of the way through the Bible.  The Old Testament is before the New Testament and it covers the history and prophecies leading up to the fulfillment of God’s promised salvation that is recorded in the New Testament (i.e., the life and death of Jesus).  We need the Word of God to spiritually grow in much the same way that we need physical food (bread) to keep our bodies running. 

• “But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.‘ ” (Mat 4:4)

The Bible is the Word of God.  As such, we need a daily consumption of the Word to keep us spiritually healthy and to protect us from lies.  You’ll see that the depth of knowledge that the Holy Spirit reveals is endless.  People spend their whole lives reading the Bible, and the longer they spend with it, the more they learn.  The same Scripture they read 5 years previously reveals a new learning when they read it again in their new life circumstances.  God created a miraculous communication to us to save us, guide us, bless us, and protect us.  If we neglect it, it is to our own peril. 

Satan continuously tries to lie to Christians to make them stumble and/or dissuade others.  The Word of God and the Holy Spirit’s whispering in our ears gives us what we need to identify his lies and crush them with the Truth.  I regularly ask God to reveal the lies I have believed that are hurting me. 

For example, in the past I had believed one of satan’s lies.  He convinced me that God’s favor and love for me was dependent on my performance.  In essence, I erroneously thought that when I sinned, God was mad at me and God was going to have bad things happen to me to teach me a lesson.  Then the Holy Spirit brought me to the truth in the Bible to crush this lie that was stealing my joy and giving me the wrong understanding God’s nature.  In essence, that lie re-cast the nature of God in my mind to a cold judge looking for an opportunity to punish me; instead of the truth which is that He is a loving father who is my advocate, my protector, and doing everything good for me (blessing me, growing my faith through life circumstances, etc.).

• “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus” (Rom 8:1)
• “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” (Heb 8:12)
• “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jer 29:11)

Satan hates Christians.  He is always trying to make us sin and trying to introduce lies into our lives to harm us (as well as using his minions to attack us).  He can’t do anything to steal our salvation because that is a sealed contract – we are going to Heaven – period!  However he does try to make us believe that we’ve somehow lost our salvation, or make us believe that God is mad at us, by trying to sell us performance-based lies similar to what he did to me. 

His goal is to steal the joy and peace that God gives us by trying make us “self-condemn” though his accusations.  It should be understood that God may convict us if we’ve done something wrong so that He can keep us from hurting ourselves or others, but he doesn’t condemn us.  God wants us free from sin and guilt.  Satan wants us to be over-run with guilt.  Satan leverages the guilt he instills to crush us into useless self-focused, self-pitying, defeated pathetic amorphous blobs of whiny flesh that pose no threat to him, his army, or his agenda. 

What satan doesn’t want us to know is that:  he has no power over us (ZERO); God resides in us; we are free in Jesus; we are completely and irrevocably saved from our sin and going to heaven; we are fully protected by God; we are fully empowered by God; and we are positioned to bring about massive damage to his empire in his war against God and mankind, while we walk in full confidence with our all-powerful God that loves us far more than we can ever imagine. 

God is endlessly on our side.  As I mentioned, the Bible tells us that God is in us when we become Christians:

• “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1Co 3:16)
• “One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” (Eph 4:6)
• “At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.” (Jhn 14:20)

There are some religions that say that access to God comes through some intermediary.  For example:  the “church”, a priest, a pope, praying to dead apostles, praying to Mary, a spiritual leader that has gained unique access to God because of their holiness.  This concept is an anti-Biblical heretical lie crafted by satan to keep people from having a close relationship directly with God as He designed it to be, and as He desires it to be.  In fact, the Bible tells us that when we pray we should refer to God as “Abba Father”.  Abba is a very affectionate term, it is similar to a child calling his father “daddy” (Gal 4:6).  We are protected because He loves us.  He has all power and He is looking-out for us and He is in us.  This was very comforting when I became a Christian and realized I was on satan’s hit-list. 

The Bible tells us that the Word (the Bible) is the sword of the Spirit.  It is used to crush the lies of the enemy.   If you are a new Christian, today perhaps, DO NOT neglect the Word (i.e., commit to yourself to read the Bible daily).  It is your compass to daily navigate the world you can’t see so that you can have a safe, productive, and joy filled life-path to your final destination (Heaven).  It steers you away from damaging your ship on a shallow reef you can’t see, and keeps you away from hidden pirate vessels bent on hurting you.

When you read the Bible, don’t speed-read.  Read it slowly, deliberately, and thoughtfully and let Him put thoughts and understanding in your mind.  Remember, He created the mind and He created thought.  Pause after reading a paragraph or so, think about it, and let Him reveal insights and understanding to you.  As you ponder, ask yourself these three questions, “1) what does this say about God, 2) what does this say about mankind, 3) what does this say about me and my life”, and let the Holy Spirit teach you.  He will speak to you through the Word, change you from the inside out, breathe new life into you, free you from the lies that you have believed, saturate you with the Truth, imbed discernment in you, fill you with wisdom, and give you a direction and purpose for your life that will bring joy and peace. 

Through this, you’ll also find that the state of the world makes total sense when viewed through the lens of the Bible.  This remarkable lens was crafted by the master and maker of the all that is seen and unseen.  It is analogous to reading a book from cover-to-cover, and then watching the associated movie…you know exactly what is going-on, why, and what is to come.  Instead of watching a physical movie screen, the world around us is the movie screen.

The Bible tells us that the gate to destruction is wide and many choose to travel it; while the gate to life is narrow and few choose to travel it (Mat 7:13-14).  Despite God’s beckoning and calling for His children to use their free-will to choose Him, the inherent proud and rebellious nature of mankind seeks to establish themselves as the god of their life and they willfully travel the path that leaves them helpless when they ultimately face the law of sin and death.  As you can see at this point in our discussion, the chaotic world we see every day is a direct product of evil running rampant through the hands of those that are storming along the wide path of destruction.  They storm forward under the direct or indirect unction of satan and his lie paradigms that each person seeks to embrace as their truth-system; and this ultimately anchors and directs their every action, word, and thought.

Although it may seem like God is losing the battle, this is definitely NOT the case (in fact satan and his demons flee at the mention of Jesus’ name).  Everyone that will choose Him will be saved.  God is far too powerful to let anyone slip between His finger-tips.  We will not hear God say in Heaven, “Oh crap, if I’d have only engaged Bob in this way then he would have been with Me now…nuts…I’m all-knowing, but I obviously messed-up that one”. 

How God engages His children and how He works to draw them to Himself is something we don’t know; it is between God and each person.  In places where Christianity is illegal it is pretty amazing to see how God works (Iran).  As in the case of Kamal Saleem God engaged him via a theophany (i.e., direct appearance).  For other Muslim clerics/leaders that reside inside seemingly impervious walls of lies, it has been through dreams that He has spoken to them and prompted their miraculous conversions.  In China, the Holy Spirit came upon the children in an orphanage (Visions Beyond the Veil) or a young boy in rural China (The Heavenly Man).  In places where the Bible is legal, He may engage someone through something as simple as a letter with the Holy Spirit beckoning them in their heart to come to their loving Creator.  God will do what He knows is best to engage each person according to what He knows about their thoughts, beliefs, history, and innermost being.  They are His children that He loves beyond words; and as we mentioned earlier, He says that He desires that all should be saved:

• “who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” (1Ti 2:4)

The only thing He has asks you and me to do is to respond to His call and walk with Him; the rest is His business.  I haven’t mentioned it so far, but His plan to save His beloved children from their actions also includes the folks that lived before Jesus, see Rom 3:25.  If you have been given this letter, or inadvertently come across it, then I believe that God is reaching-out to you (or reaching-out to someone you know).

I’m genuinely hoping that the work writing this letter has not been only for me, and that it will help pave the way for you (or someone you know) to connect with Jesus.  There is no “walking on the line” with Jesus, we have to deliberately pick His side (the Truth) and reject the other.  This is a black or white topic, there is no gray. “He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.” (Mat 12:30).  We know a tree by its fruits (Luk 6:44).  We all need to ask ourselves, are my fruits (beliefs, actions, and lifestyle) from a tree that is rooted-in Jesus?  Is my truth-system true? 

Only you and Jesus can answer these questions. 

God did not make robots when He made us.  He made us in His image.  As such He has given us “free will” to choose.  Choose well…more than you can ever understand depends on it!!!

Sincerely,  Your brother in Christ
