Messiah Jesus is the true path

pastorwardclintonLeave a comment

Spiritual, metaphorical sense, not physical.  Every time the Quran denounces the sonship of ‘Uzayr or Jesus it presents an inaccurate view of the Bible based on Muhammad’s misunderstanding.  It is spiritual in nature for Jesus is the holy one from the one true God even as supported by Sura 5:18.  Jesus had no sin for which he was subject to punishment making him not only a prophet but truly more than a prophet for in his spiritual nature he is truly the holy one from God, pbuh.  Sura 3:45-49 and Sura 19:27-35 add further support, after all is there any record that anyone else ever spoke from the cradle?  However let it be noted the Holy Bible makes no such claim that such an incident ever took place but it does have some very important words which He said.

Injil Markus 1:2  As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

1:3  The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

That refers to the Old Testament (Torah) book of Isaiah 40:3    Peter’s secretary starts the story of Jesus with the visions of the seers from long ago.  Which prophets are not here specified because the first audience to which this document was targeted would likely not have recognized the names of those prophets while anyone familiar with them should readily be able to recall which ones it is to whom he specifically refers.  The disciple called Matthew is the one who was directed by the one true God to give us more details in order that the picture of Messiah’s ministry and dealings with men would be better revealed.

Even the Stoics believed in the ordered plan of God.  “The things of God are full of foresight.  All things flow from Heaven.” – Marcus Aurelius, abt 170 AD

Isaiah and Malachi each spoke concerning the forerunner who would prepare the paths.  Malachi’s prophecy was first and foremost a threat; the priests were failing in their duty, the offerings were blemished and shoddy.  Therefore the Temple was to undergo a cleansing; some mosques and churches today need a thorough cleansing and a returning to the correct paths of the one true God and they, just like the Sadducees and Pharisees, won’t be too happy about it when it, the cleansing, begins to take place.  But wherever genuine Christianity goes it brings a purification that is acceptable in the eyes of the one true God.

Wherever Christ and genuine Christianity are allowed to come and be, the Christian faith cleanses from all corruption.  Unfortunately, when Christianity becomes corrupted it loses its efficacy and becomes part of the problem rather than the solution.  Muhammad respected the Holy Bible but not those who claimed to be students of the book yet were not following its instructions.  He, Muhammad, claimed that for the first 200 years following Isa all His followers had remained true to His teachings.  Even today, not all who claim to be Christians are following the teaching of Jesus but we who truly follow the holy one of God,  can be found.

The Pharisees had started out as the holiness of heart and life sect of Judaism but over time they had failed to maintain the inward purity and then John came, preaching repentance and baptism.  Unfortunately, pride got in their way and they failed to see what they should have seen.  Don’t let pride get in your way and cause you to be unable to hear from the living Messiah who is still willing to show you the true path.

Repentance – involves a deliberate choice to turn from sin to righteousness, and John’s emphasis on repentance recalls the preaching of the Biblical prophets, praise be upon them.  God grants forgiveness whenever there is repentance.  John was preaching a repentance-baptism, which is a baptism that is accompanied by repentance.  Now baptism was not new to John’s audience.  They were very familiar with baptism for those who were not descendants of Abraham, but had they had not been taught that all the descendants of Abraham also need to repent and be baptized.

Injil Markus tells us about Messiah

pastorwardclintonLeave a comment

Inil Markus is a gospel of activity and energy.  No story of His infancy.  Injil Markus starts with “The beginning of the gospel of Jesus the Christ.”  It portrays the active career of Jesus on earth.  Its form is that of an original dialogue which is demonstrated by some abrupt and broken sentences.  This particular gospel account lays an emphasis upon the works rather than the words of Jesus.  One Greek word is translated as: “immediately,” “anon,” “forthwith,” “by and by,” “as soon as,” “shortly,” and “straightway.”  It is used 41 times in this gospel.  The last meaning is truest to the Greek idea and may be called Mark’s characteristic word.

Injil Markus is an account of vividness and details.  It shows the awe and wonder produced upon those who were actually there to see and hear the works and teaching of Jesus.  This Gospel relates the actions of Jesus and His disciples and the multitudes.  Jesus “looks around,” “sat down,” “went before.”  He is grieved, hungry, angry, and indignant, wonders, sleeps, rests, and is moved with pity.  He is a man but He is no ordinary man for He is far and away much more than that.  He is holy.  He is a greater than Hercules or any other hero whom men have ever encountered.  He is certainly vastly superior to Mohammad, who is dead and will not be back.  If you insist on calling Jesus a prophet, then you must acknowledge that He is the final prophet because He lives and He is returning.

Injil Markus is a gospel of power over the evil spirits.  Here, as in no other gospel, the devils are shown to be inferior to Jesus.  They recognize Him as the holy one from God and acknowledge their subordination to Him by pleading with Him as regards what shall be done with them (5:7, 12).  Messiah has power to still the storm, control disease and death, and even power to conquer the unseen worlds of the jinn and the angels.  The Roman, who found deity in a Caesar could submit to one who had shown Himself King in every realm and whose kingdom was both omnipotent and everlasting, both visible and unseen, both temporal and spiritual.

Injil Markus is a gospel of wonder.  Everywhere He goes Jesus is a man of wonder that strikes awe and terror in those who see and hear Him.   Some of these may be seen, especially in the Greek, in 1:27; 2:13; 4:41; 5:28; 6:50; 7:37.  Archbishop Thompson puts it this way, “The wonder-working Son … sweeps over His kingdom swiftly and meteor-like” thereby striking awe into the hearts of the on-lookers.  He is “a man heroic and mysterious, who inspires not only a passionate devotion but also amazement and adoration.”

It is the best gospel to be used to introduce the real Isa to those who really have not had the opportunity to hear the whole truth about Isa [Jesus].  This gospel shows, more than any other, Jesus was no wimp – He was a man’s man.  Even the Koran claims that Jesus (Isa) was a holy man while Muhammad clearly was not.  Jesus (Isa) will return to this earth, Muhammad will not.  Seek and learn.  It is the Holy Bible that accurately tells what Messiah will do when He returns, not the traditions of men or other prophets or their books.

However, in his appearance, we need to remember, Messiah appeared to be just an ordinary person which is the reason why so many failed to see and understand in that day what they should have seen and understood.  The one true God was trying to show them truth but they themselves had closed their own eyes to the one who cared about them as well as you; they had chosen to remain disbelievers in the Messiah and therefore committed shirk.  Yes, this is a true saying:

The one true God cares about you.

The God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob hears and answers

Messiah Isa is the Holy One of God

Less-than-reputable scholars have tried to claim an after 70AD creation for the Injil Markus thus committing shirk of the worst kind.  By carefully reading Injil Markus in the al kitab us muqaddas line by line you will begin to understand why that is a fact and hopefully you will no longer be a disbeliever in Messiah Isa, pbuh.  There is nothing in the world more important than believing the truth about the Messiah, the one who is “The Holy One of The One True God.”

A couple of centuries ago, deceivers, pretending to be scholars, invented a book which they called “Quelle” or “Q” in order to cast doubt upon the one true God’s book which is called The Holy Bible.  Those deceivers never created their imaginary book because they knew that as soon as they attempted to it and they would be exposed as a fraud but they tried to tell people that it existed but just could not be found but eventually it would be found.  There is no legitimate reason to trust anyone who claims that the New Testament portion of The Holy Bible was not produced by actual eyewitnesses of the Holy One who is called by some, “Isa,” and by others, “Jesus.”

Even Paul, who almost missed out, actually saw and heard personally from Isa; but that is a subject for another time. Pray to the God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and do not continue in disbelief.  The god in Mecca cannot answer but the God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob can.

Truth about Isa

Muhammad Abduh Sayyid Ahmad Khan, a religious and social reformer (died 1905) stated:  “As far as the text of the Bible is concerned, it has not been altered.” (M.H. Ananikian, The Reforms and Religious Ideas of Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan.  The Moslem World 14 (1934) p. 61)

Egyptian scholar, Muhammad ‘Abduh stated: “charge of corruption of the Biblical texts makes no sense at all.  It would not have been possible for Jews and Christians everywhere to agree on changing the text.  Even if those in Arabia had done it, the difference between their book and those of their brothers, let us say in Syria and Europe would have been obvious.”

Abdullah Ibn `Abbas who is counted as one of the Sahaba (companions) and was Mohammed’s cousin was of the belief that the Holy Bible was not corrupted.  Others who wrote shortly after him were in agreement.  “Ibn Mazar and Ibn Hatim state, in the commentary known as the Tafsir Durr-I-Mansur, that they have it on the authority of Ibn Muniyah, that the Taurat (i.e. the books of Moses), and the Injil (i.e. the Gospels), are in the same state of purity in which they were sent down from heaven, and that no alterations had been made in them, but that the Jews were wont to deceive the people by unsound arguments, and by wresting the sense of Scripture… Shah Waliyu `Illah, in his commentary, the Fauzul `l-Kabir, and also Ibn `Abbas, support the same view.” (T. P. Hughes, p. 62)

It should be pointed out that that idea of the text of the Holy Bible being corrupted was first promoted by Ibn Khazem as a means of avoiding the obvious contradictions between the Holy Bible and his version of the Quran.  However, any open-minded Muslim should understand the Holy Bible has never suffered any textual corruption whatsoever whether it be before, during, or after the advent of Islam and the archaeologist’s spade has proven that to be a fact.  Therefore every Muslim should earnestly study its message because to refuse to do so is to dishonor the very message of the Quran which confirms, not corrects, the truthfulness of the one true God’s holy word, the Holy Bible.

Everyone should pray to the God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob because He is the only God who can answer.  The God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the one true God.

Satan’s false religion, Islam, is on the march therefore it is a spiritual battle as well as a physical one.  Study Scripture to be spiritually armed and keep your powder dry, your head down low, and watch your back to be physically prepared.

Obama’s policies have been against Christ and His teachings

pastorwardclinton1 Comment

American Christian evangelist Franklin Graham is calling out President Obama for pursuing a political agenda that’s “against Christ and against His teachings,” Newsmax reports.

grahamandobamaGraham, the fourth of renowned evangelist Billy Graham’s five children and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, told “The Steve Malzberg Show” on Newsmax TV that while Obama claims to be a Christian, he doesn’t walk the walk.

“First of all, the president, when he was growing up, his influences were Islam,” Graham told the show Monday. “His parental father is Muslim, his stepfather was a Muslim, he went to Muslim school.

“His formative years were all guided by the influences of Islam,” Graham said. “So his Christian position I don’t know.”

What is obvious, however, is Obama’s policies don’t jibe with God’s will, he said.

“All I know is that the policies that he has stood behind as president have been against Christ and against His teachings,” Graham said. “Abortion is a sin and if you look at same-sex marriage, this is a sin against God and the president has stood defiantly against God and against His teachings and the teachings of Scripture.”

The church he was a part of for 20 years of his adult life teaches “Black Liberation Theology” which is more Moslem and Socialist than anything else.  It would be pretty safe to guess that Mr. Obama knows next to nothing about real Christian teaching.  Perhaps that is part of the reason he is so hostile to it.

Any of my Moslem friends who may take offense at this, I want you to listen carefully:  Tell your Islamist friends to stop being so stupid and intolerant, then we can sit down and reason things out in a peaceable manner.
