Truth about Isa

pastorwardclintonLeave a comment

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.

Keep your Sword Sharp

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.

Christian purity

pastorwardclinton1 Comment

Another excerpt from my book, “WHoly Christian”

Our Lord, Jesus the Christ, has called us to walk in Christian purity, also known as holiness of heart and life, and He has assured us that He will enable us to do that walk if we request His help.

We all instinctively know what is meant by being pure because when we talk about the purity of things around us, we mean that they are clean and unadulterated.  That is they are not only without dirt or filthiness, but have no inferior substance mixed with them.  When we say that a man is pure in a religious sense, we mean that he is right and honest and true inside and out; that he not only professes, but practices the things that have to do with his duty to God and man.  Only a minority of Christians have dared to brook the difficulties and go on to that possession of the full promise available to every follower of Christ Jesus.  Those who press forward stand as examples of the power of faith amid surrounding sterility and desolation, and at the same time are inspirational witnesses to the Church of her present privilege and reproving her or her inexcusable shortcomings; inexcusable because the Holy Spirit stands ready to empower each and every follower of Christ Jesus just as He promised.

Exercise your grace or Satan will exercise your corruption.

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.

Excerpt from “WHoly Christian”

It was intended from the very foundation that the US of A would be a Christian nation.  Our laws, from the outset, were based on the Holy Bible and perusals of the founders’ writings prove that to be a fact, much to the ACLU’s dismay, not to mention Freedom From Religion and other antichristian organizations.  Furthermore, it is only persons of high moral fiber who are supposed ot be permitted to be in positions of “public service” according to the founders.  It is not the (Anthony) Wieners and (Barney) Franks and the citizens are supposed to be watching and dictating to the government what its limits are while holding the politicians accountable for their actions.  Unfortunately, too many citizens have abdicated their watchdog responsibility and allowed amoral, even immoral, hotdogs to sneak in to those positions of power.  It is time to get busy and clean out all the slime from Washington, D.C.  We have the internet, for now, where we can bypass the biased media to get the word out and mobilizing.

“There has been a systematic attempt to mislead Christians by disinformation generated by anti-Christian writers who have obscured or denied the Christian nature of our heritage and civil government and law.” (Archie P. Jones, Ph.D., Foreword to Benjamin F. Morris’ The Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States, 1864, reprint 2007 by American Vision, Inc)  Back at the foundation of this nation, America, the people understood the lessons from the Holy Bible that civil government is used by God to work out His holy will in the lives of men and nations.

“Our forefathers in the faith did not retreat from involvement in society and politics.  They did not turn civil government, the making and enforcement, and adjudication of laws, over to Satan and those who serve him.” (Jones)  It was Christianity, not paganism or secularism which produced freedom and justice in the west and in America, it certainly wasn’t Islam.  “’There is nothing,’ says Webster, ‘we look for with more certainty than this principle, that Christianity is a part of the law of the land.  Everything declares this.  The generations which have gone before speak to it, and pronounce it from the tomb.’” (Morris, p 245)  “The statesmen of the Continental Congress, in their deliberations, officially recognized the Christian religion, and incorporated its principles into their legislative acts.” (Morris, p 245)

John Adams, in a letter to his wife describes the scene of the 1st Continental Congress “When the Congress first met, Mr. Cushing first made a motion that it should be opened with prayer.” (Morris, p246)  It was a non-sectarian, yet decidedly Christian, prayer which ended with “we ask in the name and through the merits of Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Savior. Amen!” (Morris, pp 249-250)  “The state papers of the Continental Congress were also full of the spirit and sentiments of the Christian system,” (Morris, p 46).  We have a great and Godly heritage in spite of what the ACLU and others of an anti-Christian mindset wish to profess and the documents are once again being brought out to the light of day for our studious perusal at this crucial point in time.  Crucial, because we most definitely need a new awakening similar to that which brought the United States into existence.

We desperately need a Great Awakening in this country and 2nd Chronicles 7:14 provides the recipe for it.

WHoly Christian excerpt

pastorwardclintonLeave a comment

There are “monsters” in our near future if we do not wake up soon and start taking action to stop evil in its tracks.

The best of men, even the worst of men, still owe their best blessings to the abundant mercy of God.  All the evil in the world results from man’s sin, but all the good in it is from God’s mercy.  Regeneration is expressly ascribed to the abundant mercy of the one true God, and so are all the rest of the benefits mankind encounters; we subsist entirely upon divine mercy.

There is very little blessing or reward in serving the Lord conveniently.  If you claim to be a Christian, people will judge the Lord by you.  That means you are either drawing people to Jesus or causing them to move further away from Him.  Prepare and prevent instead of repair and repent should be our primary motto; closely akin to that is “Holiness unto the Lord.”

2nd Chronicles 7:14
