Better to believe now rather than wait and regret.

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

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.

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.

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.
