Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Mohammed Badie called on Muslims worldwide to liberate Jerusalem by means of jihad, according to AFP.

In his weekly message to supporters, Badie reportedly asserted that “The jihad for the recovery of Jerusalem is a duty for all Muslims,” stressing that the city’s conquest “will not be done through negotiations or at the United Nations.”

Muslim Brotherhood vows not to recognize Israel
‘Israel’s creation worst catastrophe to hit world’
The Brotherhood’s Supreme Guide has in the past called on Arab forces to confront Israel and for the international community to pressure the “Zionist government to withdraw from the land of Palestine.”

In a written statement issued in May to commemorate the “Nakba,” a term meaning catastrophe used by Palestinians and other Arabs to describe Israel’s creation in 1948, Badie demanded that “The international community rectify the historic injustice [of Israel’s birth]” and claimed that Muslims had “begun the era of liberation of all peoples, first of all the Palestinian people, [suffering from] the worst occupation known to man – the Zionist occupation.”

Badie also previously vowed that if the Muslim Brotherhood ever rose to power in Egypt, it would work to sever relations with Israel. “We are certainly not happy with the illegitimate marriage between Cairo and Tel Aviv,” he said.

“Once we rise to power we will change many things in Egypt’s policy, starting with the country’s relations with Israel which have caused us great harm.”

A DUO OF FOOLS

by

 

 

Proverbs 14:9 “Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.”

Ecclesiastes 7:6. “For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.”

 It is impossible for a fool to distinguish between ridicule and fact. Nowhere is this more evident than in the field of comedy and science (?). The laughter meter is their only indication of success. These fools think you have the intelligence of a slug if you believe God creating man and woman. Well, let them explain how man evolved from an ape, and an elephant to a man and a woman. Since they cannot, they try to laugh it off with profanity, while whistling in the cemetery.

God is also under attack because the firstborn of Egypt died at the Passover. While they scoff at the death of these, they are silent about millions of infants that are aborted each year. There is a word for that silence; it’s hypocrite.

Then there is the matter of Noah’s ark. How could all those animals get in? They walked in. These critics can’t give you the dimensions of the ark. We will turn them, and their laugh meter off,  and let them prove it was impossible.

Also, there is the attack on the accuracy of the Bible. I could care less about this. I know man, and I know the Bible. I choose the Bible every time. However, to show that these critics are wimps, cowards, and biased hypocrites, let them make an attack on Islam and the Koran. They will not. No, they are cowards. They dare not use profanity or attack Islam, they know they will get more than their piogtail clipped. They try to sound self-confident and entertaining, but they are fools in disguise. They are filthy dreamers, who fill their dialog with one profanity after another for shock effect. We are not shocked, this is what we expect for those who hide corruptipn behind laughter.

Now, I could care less what you think of me. I have two choices. I have made mine clear. The other choice is listed below. You would have to be the biggest fool in the world to believe it. It falls in the category of fantasy, insanity, and true comedy. There’s not an ounce of science in it. Oh yes, guess who gets the last laugh. Psalm 2:4 “He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.” One may laugh himself into hell; he cannot laugh himself out.

You understand the word “derision” don’t you? Now, what was that question about the ark?

For real comedy, read the fool’s creed below.

“FORWARD;” TO WHAT?

by

 

 

 

The Obama campaign apparently didn’t look backwards into history when selecting its new campaign slogan, “Forward” — a word with a long and rich association with European Marxism.

Many Communist and radical publications and entities throughout the 19th and 20th centuries had the name “Forward!” or its foreign cognates. Wikipedia has an entire section called “Forward (generic name of socialist publications).”

“The name Forward carries a special meaning in socialist political terminology. It has been frequently used as a name for socialist, communist and other left-wing newspapers and publications,” the online encyclopedia explains.

The slogan “Forward!” reflected the conviction of European Marxists and radicals that their movements reflected the march of history, which would move forward past capitalism and into socialism and communism.

The Obama campaign released its new campaign slogan Monday in a 7-minute video. The title card has simply the word “Forward” with the “O” having the familiar Obama logo from 2008. It will be played at rallies this weekend that mark the Obama re-election campaign’s official beginning.

There have been at least two radical-left publications named “Vorwaerts” (the German word for “Forward”). One was the daily newspaper of the Social Democratic Party of Germany whose writers included Friedrich Engels and Leon Trotsky. It still publishes as the organ of Germany’s SDP, though that party has changed considerably since World War II. Another was the 1844 biweekly reader of the Communist League. Karl Marx, Engels and Mikhail Bakunin are among the names associated with that publication.

East Germany named its Army soccer club ASK Vorwaerts Berlin (later FC Vorwaerts Frankfort).

Vladimir Lenin founded the publication “Vpered” (the Russian word for “forward”) in 1905. Soviet propaganda film-maker Dziga Vertov made a documentary whose title is sometimes translated as “Forward, Soviet” (though also and more literally as “Stride, Soviet”).

Conservative critics of the Obama administration have noted numerous ties to radicalism and socialists throughout Mr. Obama’s history, from his first political campaign being launched from the living room of two former Weather Underground members, to appointing as green jobs czar Van Jones, a self-described communist.

DO YOU KNOW HIM?

By Ken Blue

Philippians 3:10 “ That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;”

We have heard many sincere Christians ask, in their witnessing efforts, “do you know the Lord?” The last thing I want to do is diminish anyone’s zeal for souls. However, the above question is not the proper question to the unsaved. I will say, if that question works for you, don’t stop using it.

My point is; there is a world of difference in being saved, and knowing the Lord. We are saved by accepting by faith Jesus as the payment for our sins. Getting saved is the easiest thing in the world. Religion muddies the waters and makes it almost impossible for the lost to understand how to be saved. Listen to Paul explain its simplicity.  Romans 10:8-13 “But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” So, if you are unsaved, you are without excuse. A child can understand that.

However, getting to know the Lord is quite another thing. We meet others, and the process begins of getting to know them. Not only does this take many years; we still don’t know them fully. This is true of our friends, of God, and of ourselves. The important question is how do we get to know the Lord? Although Paul had been saved for years, his desire was that he might know Him. “Philippians 3:10 “That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;” Paul indicated also that there are those who claim they know Him, but their works prove they do not. “Titus 1:16 “They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.”

The first and most accurate way to know the Lord is through His Word. Words are the means we use in getting to know others. We communicate with them. Matthew 4:4 “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” God wants to talk to you. Open the Bible, and your heart and you will hear from Him.

Then, we get to know Him by his works. Creation tells us volumes about God. We see His power, His wisdom, and His care for it everywhere. Romans 1:19-21 “Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”

Finally, we get to know Him by suffering. Psalm 119:67 “Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.”

So, you see. There are many who say they are Christians, and God is the judge as to the truth of that. Nevertheless, all of us should be growing, and getting to know Him. The question is, are you saved, and do you know Him?

 

YOU’RE NOT BRINGING IN THE KINGDOM

Matthew 24:14 “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”

We often hear well-meaning Christians say, “We have to get the gospel to all the world, so Christ will come for His church.” Or, you may hear another say, “When we get the last person saved to complete the church, Christ will return.” This is often done to motivate church members to soul-winning.

There are at least two major problems with these concepts. First, the gospel spoken of in the context of Matthew is the gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven, and it never got out of Palestine as an act of obedience to the commission. The few who did take it did so because of persecution, and they went to Jew only. This gospel of the Kingdom is the same gospel preached in the four gospels and early Acts, and will be preached again after the rapture of the church.

The second problem suggests that there are a predestined number of believers who must be saved before Christ returns for His church. That idea is false. The Lord is not waiting on His church to make it possible for Him to return. The gospel of grace, which we preach, has already gone to every country on earth. However, the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven must be preached to every creature.

Matthew is not about the church of this dispensation. And chapter 24 clearly describes events surrounding the return of Christ at the Second Advent. Verse 14b says, “and then shall the end come.” The “end” is not the end of the world, but rather, the end of this present age. There are five ages, and we are in the third one. An age is not a dispensation. The age spoken of here reaches from Noah’s flood to the end of Armageddon. The gospel of the Kingdom will be preached to “every creature” before it ends, even if God must uses an angel to preach it. (Rev. 14:6)
