Fisher of Men; Islam and Liberalism

Beware 2

For several years now Western Civilization has had a great problem.  It is a question of comprehending who the enemy is.  For centuries in Europe it was clear that Islam was an enemy.  However with the rise of communism in the 19th century as well as other systems of totalitarianism, socialism, absolutism, moral relativism, mercantilism, etc. that fact got mostly lost.  There has been the creation of classes within society that seek power to such an extent that they willfully “make friends with their enemies,” against their own culture and kind for the sake of own empowerment in part because of their narcissistic personality disorder coupled with delusions of grandeur.

This explains, in part, why some defend Islam; a system which is so evil, and so totally alien to western culture.  It is because they believe they can use it and its adherents to gain power and then dispose of them when they are no longer useful to their self-serving schemes.  Little do they realize the cost of their nefarious dealings for they do not have any real comprehension regarding the deviousness of the evil spiritual power operating behind the scenes unto which they have actually given themselves over.

On 19 Oct ’15, Matt Barber wrote the headline, “Islam & Liberalism: Twin Beats of the Apocalypse” for an article he did.  He stated in the article, The battle lines are drawn, not so much between conservative vs. liberal, as many presume, but rather, between biblical vs. unbiblical, truth vs. deception.  In its most distilled form the culture war signifies the worldly manifestation of an otherworldly spiritual battle between good and evil.”

As a Pastor I have been called to be a “Watchman on the wall” and I know the responsibility that I have.  I must be able to recognize the enemy when he approaches and sound the appropriate alarm.  When the enemy sends scouting parties to test the defenses and he finds a weak spot it must be reported and acted upon so that a strengthening in that area may be accomplished.  I am allowed to call the people to rejoice in each little victory but I must remind them to “keep their powder dry.”  I am allowed to remind them that the King of Kings (the ultimate commander in chief) is absolutely guaranteed to win but we must all be alert and prepared for skirmishes along the way in order to avoid unneeded casualties.  Nor should we give any ground to our Lord’s enemies.  We are to use our talent.

We Christ followers cannot rescue the deceived from their deception when we compromise for it is an established fact, time and again, throughout history that in any compromise of good with evil the evil wins, finds no satisfaction, and demands further compromise.  Still they continue to claim that the Church may be, perhaps, tolerated in the world if only she will give up her discipline.

The twin Beasts of the Apocalypse have teamed up together in their rebellion against The Christ, the King of Kings, and are proclaiming “We will not have this man reigning over us.”  Unfortunately, in their sin-blinded eyes, they cannot comprehend that the greatest deceiver of them all has them engaged in a battle against the actual Creator of the universe who happens to be the God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Oh yes, the “best deceiver of them all,” has his deceived ones happily employed causing chaos in the world for now but the day will arrive when the “King of Kings” will return and the “Beasts of the Apocalypse” will be utterly defeated.  Luke 19:27 tells us what will happen to those who don’t want the Biblical Jesus to rule over them. (They will pay a very heavy price.)

It is true that it may get uncomfortable at times in this journey of time from here until the “Day of the Lord” fully arrives but our Lord desires that we should constantly abide in Him so that we may enjoy the journey as well as properly engage in the battles that come our way in the meantime.

 Be blessed, sharpen your “Sword” skills, and keep your powder dry.

Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath

pastorwardclinton1 Comment

2:23  And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.

2:24  And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?

Deuteronomy 23:25 allowed the disciples and the people to do this.  Tradition established by that time and the Mishnah said they could not do this on the Sabbath as though their tradition were greater than the Law given to them by Moses.  This is quite similar to claiming the Hadith is greater than the Koran by certain Muslim teaching for if it is then, the Quran, is diminished in value beyond measure and perhaps an admission that the present day Koran has been corrupted.

The Pharisees had quickly pounced and pointed out the multiple transgressions they believed the disciples had committed.  It was obvious they expected Jesus to reprimand His disciples and command them to stop.  Instead He spoke to these “Imams” in their own language and chastised them in His own way which may be a wee bit hard for us to see because we are, fortunately, not under their traditions and rules although we must remember that we are not at liberty to do as we please because we ought to obey the one who is Lord of the Sabbath which is the kalimat Allah, Isa.  The one true God made the day of prayer to make our lives better and fuller.

2:27  And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:

2:28  Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

Religious tradition had so multiplied and twisted the restrictions, rules, and requirements for keeping the Sabbath that the burden became almost unbearable.  However living a holy life is not simply the keeping of requirements but the seeking of the One who set the requirements in order that He might be found.  The requirements set forth in the first covenant were not intended to drive us from Him but to make us understand our need for Him.  Likewise the first six chapters of Romans in the New Covenant are intended for the same purpose.

3:1  And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.

3:2  And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.

3:3  And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.

3:4  And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.

3:5  And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

3:6  And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

This, 3:1-6, is a demonstration of the truth proclaimed in 2:28.  The Pharisees were plotting evil against Jesus while Jesus was ready to do good, therefore it is obvious who was guilty of breaking the Sabbath although the people probably did not realize it at the time because of the erroneous teaching they had long listened to.  (What if Abu Bakr did not teach accurately?)  What if the one who compiled and created the Quran was a friend of the djinn and was sent to deceive and empower himself under the guise of preserving truth?  We are told he faithfully re-produced the accurate words but where is the proof?  Why is there more than one version, in Arabic, of the Koran?

 3:7  But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,

3:8  And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.

The geographical list shows that people were traveling great distances, for that day and age, to see and hear the holy one from God.  Will that generation rise up and condemn this generation at the last day for its lack of effort to seek out and learn Isa’s teaching?  Many Muslims claim they respect and honor Isa but they are actually guilty of insulting Isa because they do not read or pay any attention to what he taught when he was healing and teaching the people.  Mohammad said the Injil is not corrupt.  The Quran says the Injil is not corrupt.  Abdullah Ibn ‘Abbas said the Al-kitab (Holy Bible) is not corrupt.  Muhammad Abduh Sayyid Ahmad Khan (died 1905) said “As far as the text of the [Holy] Bible is concerned, it has not been altered.”  Furthermore, Muhammad Abduh said the “charge of corruption of the Biblical texts makes no sense at all.”  The problem with “the Al-kitab (Holy Bible) has been corrupted” argument is that those who make that claim are ignorant of first century history and/or the whole text of the Injil (New Testament portion of the Holy Bible).

It is not wise to insult Isa.  He has the words of life from the one true God.  It is true that many who claim to be his followers (Christians) are corrupted but that is only because they do not truly follow his teaching as revealed in the Holy Bible but that is no excuse, it does not excuse you, for not knowing and studying the words of Isa as preserved in the Injil.

The reason some of those who call themselves “Christian” do not seem to know much about the Holy Bible or genuine Christianity is because they actually are not Christians as is proven by their lives.  As a Muslim, almost all of what you have been told by the Imams about Christianity is taqiyya.  But do not be angry at your Imam, because they lied to him to.  Even among those who actually regularly attend a Bible-believing Church one must look carefully to see how their life matches up to the teachings of Isa in the Injil.  So how can one know?  First pray to the God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and then become familiar with the New Testament portion of the Holy Bible and then request, in prayer, to the one true God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob for assistance in knowing the truth; this is not done by simply using a memorized prayer.  He’s listening because He does care about you.  Because God cares about you the Injil is not corrupt, it may be hard to understand, at first, but ask Him to help you and to direct you.  Ask the one true God to help you find real followers of Jesus.

Isa expels demons, Imams Can’t

pastorwardclintonLeave a comment

1:34  And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.

The demons knew and understood Him to be the Messiah, the one true and holy Messiah; Isa, Al-Masih, is kalimat-Allah and wadjih according to the Quran and for that reason they were powerless against Isa.

Many that were possessed with devils – Dr. Lightfoot gives two sound reasons why Judea, in our Lord’s time, abounded with demoniacs. First, Because they were then advanced to the very height of impiety. See what Josephus, their own historian, says of them: There was not (said he) a nation under heaven more wicked than they were. See on Rom_1:1 (note). Secondly, Because they were then strongly addicted to magic, and so, as it were, invited evil spirits to be familiar with them. It seems strange to find men at this distance of time questioning the truth of that which neither scribes nor Pharisees then doubted; nor did they ever object against the pretensions of Christ and his apostles to cast them out. And, if the whole business of demonism had been only a vulgar error, (as “wise” men now tell us), what a fine opportunity had the “wise” men then, to unmask the whole matter, and thus pour contempt on the pretensions of our blessed Lord and his followers, who held it to be one proof of their Divine mission, that demons were subject to them! – Adam Clarke

It has been said, “Build a better mousetrap and the public will beat a path to your doorstep even if you live in the wilderness.”  Unfortunately the crowds were only coming because they wanted something; unfortunately the crowds only thought they were coming to see a wondrous physician; fortunately the crowds were coming.

Sadly, for one prayer that goes up to the God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in days of prosperity ten thousand go up in times of adversity.  Only prayers to the God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are of any value, prayers to any other god are useless.

    Try Jesus, if you don’t like Him, the devil will always take you back.

   Many a man who has never prayed when the sun was shining begins to pray when the cold winds come.  So many people regard religion as belonging “to the ambulance corps and not to the firing-line of life.”  Therefore religion, to them, is merely a crisis affair.  Only when life has gotten into a mess do they begin to remember God, but it is in the sunshine times that we need to polish the communication lines so that when the darkness settles over us we don’t suddenly find ourselves trying to figure out how to establish a connection.  God is not someone to be sought only in the day of misfortune; He is someone to be loved and remembered every day of our lives.

    The god of Ishmael does not love you; The God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob loves you.

   Although the recognition of one’s failure to come to Him during the sunny time should not be allowed to hinder the seeking of Him in the dark time – it is just so much better, so much wiser, and so much safer to remember Him in the sunny time when one may be assured of finding Him.

And healed all that were sick – Not a soul did the Lord Jesus ever reject, who came to him soliciting his aid. Need any sinner despair who comes to him, conscious of his spiritual malady, to be healed by his merciful hand? – Adam Clarke

Need any Muslim despair who comes to the God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?  He loves you and wants you to know who Jesus really is; Jesus is the holy one of God who knows the true path to eternal life.

Injil Markus 1:35  And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

Away from the disciples and other distractions, He started His day in private communication with the one true God.

Injil Markus 1:36  And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.

1:37  And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.

1:38  And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

Simon Peter, upon finding Him, tells Jesus that people are starting to gather at his house again.  Jesus informs Simon Peter that the gospel message must be taken to other towns also.  His message is not to be confined to a single area, no matter how well received in that place.  This would also give the people a chance to more carefully consider the gracious words they have already heard Al-Masihu-Isa speak unto them.  As regards prayer; prayer doesn’t do our work for us; prayer strengthens us for the work that must be done.

Wake up World

wake up

There is one main thing standing in the way of a One World Government system being put into power. That is the American Constitution. So we should easily see why there is such a full on attack to destroy it.  Elitist narcissistic individuals with delusions of grandeur recognize they have an obstacle in that special document that prevents them from being able to gain worldwide dominance as long as America remains a “free” superpower.

If we can’t stop this attack by this president who was supposed to be an expert on the Constitution we may fall from within.  Many will argue that he isn’t a constitutional scholar, in spite of the fact that he claims to be one, because the evidence is lacking, however, if you want to destroy something or some enemy, you have to get to know everything you possibly can about the individual or the entity in order to destroy it.  The only evidence I’ve seen offered to support Barak’s claim to be a constitutional law professor is a photo of him at a blackboard but that was not the U.S. Constitution on the board, rather it was something from Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” which, in and of itself, speaks volumes.

BHO called the US constitution “A charter of negative liberties,” a statement that is foreign to the mindset of most Americans.  We tend to view it as a positive thing that protects our freedoms while BHO views it as limiting what he can do to us.  That is part of the beauty of the U.S. Constitution in that it hinders would-be tyrants, although the checks and balances thing is not being utilized currently as intended unfortunately.

If BHO is successful in his efforts at undermining of the foundations of the USA it will all fall apart in very short order and that will prove to be very hazardous to many governments around the world.  The progressive/liberals have been actively attempting to fundamentally transform America for many years now for that very reason and it is really an amazing testimony to the resiliency of her people that she has not yet succumbed to the subversives.  But I do believe the days are numbered for America because there are too many who are ignorant or too apathetic to even care and our moral foundation has been drastically eroded.

We need a brand new Great Awakening in America.  With it God can and will turn this nation around; the principle  for causing it to happen is found in His Holy Word, the Holy Bible 2nd Chronicles 7:14.

Let us pray.

Time for an Awakening

Obama the enemy agent

Barry is not an inept President; he is an enemy agent. – worldparliament-gov.org

All the Toyota trucks ISIS have in their possession are courtesy of BHO.  They would not have enough equipment to put up much of a fight, let alone expand their sphere of influence, if BHO had not created them, and then armed them with all the modern equipment.  BHO is a treasonous Nation of Islam type of Moslem.

Barak Hussein Obama/Frank Marshall Davis, Jr/Barry Sotero, whoever he is, is a traitor or domestic enemy to the USA and that is by his own choice.  He has been somewhat of a success in his actions to undermine and destroy America; if he intended to do good for America then he has been a horrendous failure.  Either way, he is the worst President America has ever had.

Pray for America

Now is the time for all Christians to be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves because we live among those who would tear us apart and destroy us if we are not careful, therefore let us put on the whole armor of God and engage in the battle.
