Beware of the crocodiles tears.

 

In Gal 1:6-8 Paul writes

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”

       Five hundred years later an angel appeared to Mohammed and taught him a different gospel and Islam was born. Nearly two thousand years later an angel appeared to Joseph Smith and introduced him to a different gospel and the Mormon movement was born. Paul’s writing in Galatians is yet another prophetic warning that serves to substantiate the existence of our Lord and His prophecies that are meant to guide and edify the body of Christ and perfect His saints.

      But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2 Cor 11:12-14 (KJV)

       What do you not get? It is estimated that only about 20% of the world’s Muslim population are considered radical Islamic jihadists and support violent Jihad. However, given that there is approximately 1.6 billion Muslims on the planet, approximately 23% of the world’s population, 20 % is about 320 million. This is roughly the population of the USA. This means that there is a people group in this world with a population size of the US that is focused on the complete destruction of America and will do whatever it takes to achieve this goal. Don’t you think it is simply prudent to attempt to identify them and not allow them into this country? Clinton said it and the liberals cheered. Obama said it and the liberals cheered yet both did very little to follow through. President Trump follows through on the propositions set in motion by Clinton and Obama and the liberals cry foul. Insanity I say.

           A cornerstone teaching of Islam that everyone must understand is that all who are not practicing Islam are considered infidels and must be converted or eradicated, period. This is not the ideology of just the radicals of Islam, but of all Islam. Islam is an ideology that has been perverted in a number of ways since its beginning and now appears to have morphed into a movement with a reward system designed to appeal to the carnal mind and lusts of the flesh. For example, Mohammed taught “Unto you your religion, and unto me my religion.”, which would seem to be in line with the heart of the almighty God who gave us the freedom to chose. Also, there is a common belief amongst many, even most Muslim Jihadists that those who are martyred in the caring out of a jihad will receive riches and seventy two virgins in heaven. Do you really believe that that is an ideology in keeping with the almighty God who inspired the gospel that Paul was referring to? The truth is there is no reference to this in the writings of Mohammed but seems to be teachings from a misguided Imam al-Tirmidhi. It is well know that most Muslims do not read the Quran yet rely on the teachings of others who may or may not have read it. It is a classic example of the blind leading the blind right into the ditch (Matthew 15:14.) We find these same phenomena adversely affecting the Christian Church. It is estimated that only about eleven percent of the adults in the Christian population read the bible with any frequency and the youth, rarely, even almost not at all. When people do not educate themselves from the source it leaves them vulnerable and open to be misled by any whim of mans doctrines.

(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.

Eph 5:9-12 (KJV)

      To me it is obvious that by the false teachings and preaching I commonly come across, that people are either not educating themselves to the truth or they are but have been so conditioned that they no longer have the tenacity and integrity to confront errant teachers and their teachings, or both. It is written, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge….” Hosea 4:6. Read your bibles. Pray the Holy Ghost comes to comfort you, to teach you and to bring into remembrance all that Jesus taught, just as He said. Pray for discernment and beware of qualifiers used by false teachers qualifiers that appeal to your conditioning as a human to not question those in a place of assumed authority or to error on the side of laziness, qualifiers like “If you don’t believe me, read it yourself” I see this one commonly used following a false statement regarding scripture. It implies that the speaker must know what he/she is talking about or they would not have made the challenge, thus qualifying it in your mind. I say accept the challenge and read it for yourself God sent His people over the years to write, protect and distribute His inspired word for a reason.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

1 Tim 2:3-5 (KJV)

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

2 Tim 4:2-4 (KJV)
