ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT SHARIA LAW IN YOUR CITY
By Ken Blue
Dictionary of Sharia law: “sha•ri•’a or sha•ri•a also sha•ri•’ah (shä-r¶“ä) n. Islam. The code of law based on the Koran. [Arabic šarõºya, lawfulness, from šarõº, lawful, from aš-šarõ, Revelation, Islamic law.”
*This information is from Time Magazine.*
Disfigured: Aisha, 20, who was mutilated by her in-laws after fleeing the Taliban village she was living in.
Under orders from a Taliban commander acting as a judge, she was disfigured last year as punishment for fleeing her husband’s home.Just 18 years old at the time, Aisha said she ran away from the small village to escape her in-laws’ beatings and abuse.
A child bride, Aisha was captured and returned to the village, where her husband, father-in-law and brother-in-law carried out the mutilation, after approval by the local Taliban mullah.
Under orders from a Taliban commander acting as a judge, she was disfigured last year as punishment for fleeing her husband’s home. Left for dead, she said, she then fled to the safety of a women’s shelter in Kabul run by Women for Afghan Women, which publicized her plight a year later.
Thanks to support from aid groups and the American Embassy in Kabul, and the charity of a hospital in Southern California, Aisha was whisked off to the United States for reconstructive surgery – though there was little hope of finding the perpetrators.
It is rare for the police in Afghanistan to intervene when local villagers impose punishments for social crimes, even severe ones such as flogging and stoning, which are allowed under Sharia law, the legal code of Islam based on the Koran.
So far, Aisha has been given a prosthetic nose as a temporary measure. ‘She’s not coming back to Afghanistan to testify,’ Mrs. Naderi said. ‘We won’t put Aisha in danger like this. ‘Nobody will guarantee her security in Afghanistan if she comes back.’
Note: I know of nothing that motivates demonic men to act out scenes of wickedness like that above, except the thinking that God is leading and approving their acts of cruelty. You would have to be demon possessed to be that cruel to another person, or to an animal. That includes all religions and atheist.
ZION’S HILL
By Ken Blue
The heathen imagine a vain thing against the Anointed King.
“Let us break their bands asunder,” is their common theme.
He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; having them in derision.
“I’ve set my king on Zion’s Hill; that’s My decision.”
“I will declare the final decree; the LORD hath said unto Me.
Thou art my Son, and this day have I begotten Thee.
Ask of Me and I will give Thee sovereign rule of sea and land.
Thou shalt rule them with the rod of iron in Thy right hand.
“Be wise now O ye kings, be instructed ye judges, every one.
Serve the LORD with fear and trembling, and Kiss the Son.
Blessed are they who put trust in him; His promises He’ll fulfill;
To all who come and worship Him, there on Zion’s Hill.”
TWO TRUTHS YOU MUST GET RIGHT
By Ken Blue
“But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags.”Isaiah 64:6.
“But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Romans 4:5.
Men and women make two mistakes that are poles apart. However, the end results are the same. These two fatal mistakes are: 1. “I am good enough to get to heaven,” and 2. “I am so wicked I can’t be saved.” I want to ask you to read the above verses and consider what they say.
The first one gets to the very heart of the matter; and the matter is with the heart. God is very clear that our best efforts are like filthy rags. If you want the full impact of this, look up the word “filthy” in Strong’s Concordance.
You cannot be saved by any religious act you perform. This is the difference between Bible Christianity and all other religions. They all say “do” in order to be saved. Some think if they keep the Ten Commandments, they will be saved. First of all, you probably can’t name the Commandments, and if you can, you have not kept them, nor can you. Others think some form of water baptism or confirmation will open heaven for them; it will not.
Occasionally you will hear someone say, “keep the golden rule,” or “judge not.” Again, you have not kept the golden rule, nor has anyone else. Secondly, what people mean by “judge not” is, don’t judge me. Well, my friend, we are not judging you, there is One who will do that, and He will be just and make no mistakes. Our sins are not “mistakes” they are choices that we have made and are accountable for.
You would never think of showing up at a formal banquet dressed in filthy rages. Don’t assume God will let you in His heaven, when He says your own righteousness is filthy rags. It won’t work. Since your own attire is filthy, you must be clothed and made clean by someone else.
That brings us to the second matter where some assume they are such great sinners God cannot save them. Well, I have great news for you! Christ died for sinners. If you really believe down in your heart that there is no hope for you, unless it comes from outside yourself, you are on the road to salvation. You see, since you cannot possibly save yourself, God Himself does it for you. Look at the text again. “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Romans 4:5.
Notice that it is to him that worketh not.” That means you stop all effort and activity to justify yourself. Therefore, there are no works you can do that will save you. That includes all Baptist, Catholics, Buddhist, Moslem, Mormons, Seventh Day Adventist, New Ager, and every one in between.
Notice also, that it is God who justifies those who believe or trust the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ as their payment for sin, that are justified. Since God was incarnate in Christ so He could die for your sins and be resurrected, He is the only One qualified to justify those who accept by faith, His payment. Thus, He is just; sins are paid for, and He is the justifier of all who believe.
So, you see, all your works for salvation are rejected because they are like filthy rags. However, if you see yourself in need of God’s mercy, He can be justifying you freely. There’s nothing you can do, it’s been done!
