The Difference Between Islam and Christianity

Jesus healed the sick.
Muhammed healed no one.

Jesus could make the blind see.
Muhammed could only make the seeing, blind.

Jesus made the crippled walk.
Muhammed could make the walking, crippled.

Jesus could take a dead man and make him alive.
Muhammed could take a live man and make him dead.

Jesus multiplied food to feed thousands.
Muhammed could divide the loot among his followers.

Jesus could walk on water.
Muhammed could ride a camel.

If you visit Medina, you can see the tomb where Muhammed is buried.
But if you visit Jerusalem you’ll find an empty tomb. The Lord Jesus Christ has risen.

He is the Way. He is the Truth. He is the Life. NO ONE comes to the Father, except through Him.

Walking with Dinosaurs at the Staples Center

So a group of us, through Creation Science Evangelism, been going down to the Staples Center in Los Angeles to hand out tracts that give the biblical perspective on dinosaurs to people exiting the 'Walking with Dinosaurs' show. This show is done by the BBC and is on a world-wide tour presenting ONLY the evolution religion's point of view. I've learned a lot about taking a public stand for Christ. It's been amazing to connect with other Christians in order to represent our King to this fallen world.

Saturday morning I went out for the last showing I'd committed to, and my eight year old daughter went with me. It was great! We handed out tracts offering the exiting crowd the biblical perspective on dinosaurs. We were also able to hand out some $1M bills and explain to them that the reverse side of the bill explains how Jesus took the punishment we deserve for our crimes (sins) against God so that we could be pardoned. Some people stood behind us and laughed at us, some were disgusted and cursed at us, some said the bibilical perspective was trash. Most people we talked to said, "No thank you" courteously. But some people took the tracts. Of those, many thanked us. Some were reading the tracts while they walked to their cars. Some even came back and asked my daughter for another one to give away to other people. My daughter was REALLY surprised that people came back to ask her for another one.

As we were saying goodbye to the L.A. Coordinator, Garth; he knelt down to my daughter's level, hugged her, and with watering eyes, he said, "Just think, someday when we get to Heaven, someone might come up to you, hug you, and thank you for giving them a bible tract, because they were led to salvation through Jesus because you gave them a tract." God put us in the company of some of His most outstanding servants in this event. I look forward to someday working with them to expand God's kingdom again someday.

I'm so thankful that I was offered this opportunity to take a stand for Christ in a way that is more bold than I have thus far, and I can't wait to see what He leads me to do for His glory next. I'm thankful that my daughter got to see first-hand what it means to take the name of our Saviour, both the rewarding and the difficult, and I can't wait to see how He grows her in Him in the future.

Thank you Lord for the opportunity to serve you. Thank you for taking the punishment I deserve so I could go free and live forever with you. Until I can thank you face to face, please send me more opportunities to step out in boldness for your name's sake, so that you might save some from Hell.

For They Have Consulted Together with One Consent

So I've been listening to different scholars speaking on prophecy and one man in particular has stood out to me. His name is Walid Shoebat. I originally heard him speak on a podcast called Salvation Revelation by Frank Lordi that I subscribed to via iTunes.

Mr. Shoebat was a former PLO terrorist who became a Christian while trying to convert his Christian wife to Islam. He has now become an advocate for Israel. Walid was born in Bethlehem and as a result of being raised Muslim, he has a different view of the bible than those of us Christians that were raised here in the West.

It was Mr. Shoebat that pointed out to me that all of the nations that are listed by name in the bible as being judged by Christ upon His 2nd coming just happen to be Muslim nations.

-Isaiah: Egypt, Lebanon, and Edom
-Habakuk: Midian
-Psalms: Ishmaelites, Syria, & Iraq, Moab, Hagarenes, Gebal, Ammon, Amelek, Philistia, Tyre, & Assur
-Ezekiel: Turkey

I find this VERY interesting.

Who is Like Yahweh?

Wikipedia defines Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) as, a congenital heart defect which is classically understood to involve four anatomical abnormalities (although only three of them are always present). It is the most common cyanotic heart defect, representing 55-70%, and the most common cause of blue baby syndrome.

Micah Gower was born on October 18, 2007 with Tetralogy of Fallot.

Due to continuing medical complications, Micah's family is really struggling to make ends meet. Please pray that Micah's situation improves. Pray for strength and perseverance for Micah and his family. Pray that the doctors make wise decisions to care for Micah's daily needs in such a way as to be as comfortable as possible for Micah. Pray that Micah's family and friends will be able to see the hand of God at work in Micah's life and in the lives of his family. Pray that God will use this situation to somehow lead others to the knowledge that without God they are truly lost. Most importantly, pray that God's will be done in the day to day lives of this family.

A fund has been set up in Micah's name to help this family financially in this time of need as they don't have medical insurance and cannot afford to purchase any. I would like to encourage all who read this and have the means, to help by contributing to this family's needs. There is no pressure to give, nor is there any minimum or maximum amount you should give. Your choice to give and the amount you choose to give is based solely on whatever is in your heart to give. You can do so by either of the following means:

1. You can make a donation by visiting your local Wells Fargo Bank and making a deposit to the Micah Gower fund - Account #2884000288.

2. Anything purchased from this site (http://www.krymus.com/4627) will help out Micah's family as a percentage goes to Micah's fund.

Click the title of this blog to see the extended story on Micah and his family. Please pass this story on to anyone you can think of. The more people we have praying for this family the better off they will be.

Is this Wisdom?

This cartoon says it all. Sadly, this man stands a good chance at representing our nation. If we as a nation are willing to choose someone to represent us whose actions are literally a slap in the face of the One True God who gave us life and then had His Only Son pay our fine so we could live forever with Him even though we deserve eternal separation from Him as a result of our choice to sin against Him; we should surely be ashamed of ourselves. In fact, 'ashamed' doesn't even begin to express the truth of our wretchedness.

What is Truth? Obama brazenly shouting his commands at the face of God.

Is this Wisdom? No Mr. Obama - this is folly.

Israel to be Divided

This is an article I read on World Net Daily today. I find that it's pretty important to stay on top of any news of Jerusalem being divided up as this will affect the whole world eschatologically whether non-Christians want to believe so or not.

Thus shall he [Antichrist] do in the most strong holds, with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. (Daniel 11:39 KJV+)

JERUSALEM – A detailed proposal for the creation of a Palestinian state that reportedly was presented by Israel to the Palestinian Authority in recent weeks was heavily influenced by the U.S. and is largely based on an American-drafted plan, World Net Daily (hereafter, WND) has learned.

Israel's Haaretz newspaper reported yesterday Prime Minister Ehud Olmert handed to PA President Mahmoud Abbas a plan for an Israeli withdrawal from most of the strategic West Bank and for parts of the Israeli Negev desert – Israeli territory undisputed by the international community – to become part of a Palestinian state.

WND last week quoted a top Palestinian official stating Olmert told the PA he intends to accelerate negotiations the next few weeks to reach a deal on paper outlining a Palestinian state before he steps down from office next month.

Olmert earlier this month announced he will resign from office after his Kadima party holds internal elections next month to choose a new leader. He said he is stepping down due to a criminal investigation, described by police officials as "serious," in which he is accused of corruption and financial improprieties.

The Haaretz report says the deal, confirmed by diplomatic sources speaking to WND, was rejected last night by the Palestinians unless certain key modifications were made.

The proposal calls for Israel to evacuate 93 percent of the West Bank, while the Palestinians would receive territory equivalent to 5.5 percent of the West Bank, located in the Israeli Negev desert.

The plan grants the Palestinians passage between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip on territory that would be jointly patrolled by Israel and the PA. The passageway would give the Palestinians access to areas close to central Israeli population centers.

Much of the plan previously was published by WND in a series of articles in recent months.
According to the plan Olmert sent to the PA, land to be annexed to Israel would include the large West Bank Jewish community blocs of Ma'aleh Adumim, Gush Etzion and the areas surrounding Jerusalem, and some land in the northern West Bank adjacent to Israel. The rest of the West Bank would be handed to the Palestinians.

An area from the Israeli Negev nearly equivalent in land mass to the territory Israel would retain in the West Bank would be transferred to the West Bank – marking the first official Israeli plan that calls for pre-1967 land to be given to the Palestinians. Pre-1967 refers to Israeli territory that was not reconquered in the 1967 Six Day War.

The plan would be set out on paper and implemented on the Israeli side in stages, while the PA would need to first retake control of the Gaza Strip from Hamas before Israel would give them most of the West Bank.

Mark Regev, Olmert's spokesman, refused to confirm yesterday to WND the existence of the plan as reported by Haaretz.

But Nabil Abu Rdainah, Abbas' spokesman, told the official Palestinian news agency WAFA the plan presented by Olmert showed a "lack of seriousness" since it did not provide for a contiguous Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.

Israeli diplomatic sources said Olmert will now offer a new draft plan in the immediate future.
The plan Olmert already presented was adapted from a detailed American proposal sent earlier this year to the Israeli and Palestinian negotiating delegations, diplomatic sources said.

The U.S. plan also called for peripheral eastern neighborhoods of Jerusalem to become part of a future Palestinian state, but those sections of the plan seemed to have been placed on hold for now.

Olmert is considered a lame duck prime minister and according to polls has little standing with the Israeli population, but he has vowed to forge ahead with Israeli-Palestinian negotiations started at last November's U.S.-backed Annapolis summit, which seeks to create a Palestinian state by the end of the year.

Last week a top PA negotiator told WND Olmert has stated he plans to grant the Palestinians a state on paper before he steps down from office next month.

"Papers are very important. It puts limits on the new prime minister," said the PA negotiator, speaking to WND on condition of anonymity. "For example, the weak point of Israeli-Syrian negotiations are papers signed by former prime ministers that now must be abided by, during current negotiations.

"Olmert told us his goal is to reach an agreement on paper," the negotiator said.
He said the agreement will likely encompass understandings regarding the transfer of much of the West Bank to the Palestinians. He said he "hopes" the issue of Jerusalem is broached but that it might not be mentioned on paper beyond a declaration of agreement to negotiate further.

There Is No Star of David

The first mention of the six-pointed star in Israelite literature was in Amos 5:26, when YAWEH angrily tells His people that " I hate and despise your feast days…. You shall take up Siccuth, your king and Chiun your images, the star of your God…." Siccuth (Sakkuth) and Chiun (Kaiwan) means "star" and refers to Saturn as a star, and was objects of idolatrous worship, as they were considered to be Assyrian gods. The mixed multitude that went out of Egypt with the children of Israel took the star with them. Like the obelisk, the six-pointed star was an Egyptian idol used in idolatrous worship. In 922 B.C. when Solomon married the daughter of Pharaoh, he became involved in Egyptian idol worship and went into magic, and witchcraft. Solomon built an altar to Ashtoreth and Moloch, and the six-pointed star, the chief symbol of human sacrifices in magic and witchcraft circles, came to be called the Seal of Solomon.

Strangely enough, this link between the hexagon and the planet Saturn may very well reveal some ancient knowledge handed down to those that might have conjured demons. Here is a picture of the planet Saturn which showcases the following.

"Astronomers using infrared imaging have shown that Saturn has a warm polar vortex and that it is the only such feature known in the solar system. This, they say, is the warmest spot on Saturn. Whereas temperatures on Saturn are normally -185 °C, temperatures on the vortex often reach as high as -122 °C.

A persisting hexagonal wave pattern around the north polar vortex in the atmosphere at about 78°N was first noted in the Voyager images. Unlike the north pole, HST imaging of the south polar region indicates the presence of a jet stream, but no strong polar vortex nor any hexagonal standing wave."

Also note the occult Talisman of Saturn (image at the top of this posting). The front of the talisman bears the Satanic pentagram and the back of the Talisman contains none other than the hexagonal "Star of David".

M. Hirsch Goldberg in his book The Jewish Connection states: "The Star of David is not of Jewish origin - and the ancient Israelites never used it as their religious symbol." (they used the Menorah or Seven Candlestick). So, why did the six-pointed star become known as the Jewish star? This symbol was widely adopted, not because the Jewish people chose it, but ironically because Adolph Hitler forced all Jews to wear a yellow six-pointed star during the holocaust. The word holocaust means burnt offering, and the six-pointed star was used in the past when burnt human sacrifices were offered to Moloch and Ashtoreth in Baal worship. The few Jews who had anything to do with the Six-Pointed star (hexagram) were those who were involved in occult practices. Back to Hitler, would he put anything good on a Jew? Hitler meant to insult and destroy the Jews, and being wrapped up in the occult (read the book, The Nazis and the Occult ), he may have meant the Jews to be his burnt offering for power. Today, most Jews wear this star by choice, and without thinking or checking out its origin and usage through time. Wearing the six-pointed star became a fashion.

Comments on Saturn's Hexagram from the New Agers:

Hexagram as heart chakra:---two interlacing triangles, symbolizing union of Shiva and Shakti - male and female principles. The hexagram is an ancient Hindu symbol = nara-narayana yantra, symbolizing union/balance of human and the Divine. The Talisman of Saturn is a hexagram. In Ritual Magick, the Seal of Solomon, warning of violent death, poison, secret plotting, and deceit. Saturn in astrology is the planet of restrictions, duties, responsibilities and knowing one’s limits. Saturn is the Planet of Destiny, Lord of Karma, Keeper of records. It’s a BIG message!!! Saturn is telling us that we need to get our act together and assume our responsibilities in terms of caring for the planet. This is a time for the union of male and female energies. They need to work together and NOW. Our connection to the Divine (however we see it), must be restored and re-vitalized. If this is not done, we are in for trouble. Peace to all, and Blessed Be.

I would highly suggest that before we adopt symbols of meaning to ourselves, as representatives of Jesus Christ, we should first contemplate whether or not the symbol is pleasing to God. Just because we attach a particular meaning to an publically displayed symbol doesn't mean God is glorified in it.
