MUSLIM FRIEND …

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

“A RED INDIAN LOVE STORY ON FORGIVENESS”
This is based on a true story.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

“WHY
WOULD GOD BECOME A MAN?”
The
answer is very simple … the Bible says God is love. God has always
taken pity
on man.

“THE HISTORY OF ISLAM”
All Muslims
have a ‘sacred’ mission – that is to bring the entire world under
Allah’s
dominion.
Any opposition is dealt with violently and to the death, if necessary.

Great Britain was founded by God Almighty to bring
to the world, his word … the perfect, inerrant, infallible
and inspired scriptures known as The King James Bible, The
Authorized Bible, The Holy Bible.
Great Britain, as any student of history knows,
was, and is still today, inhabited by every European race, indeed the whole
world…

“PROPHECIES
OF JESUS
CHRIST
PROVE THE BIBLE IS TRUE”
The Bible is simply a history book … it
tells the future
history before it happens. This is called prophecy. No other book
has ever
done this.
The
following chart shows the prophecies of the Old
Testament concerning Jesus Christ and his fulfillment in the New
Testament …
the odds of this happening by chance are impossible.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The
texts with authority for the
Muslim are the Koran and the Hadiths.
There
are six different sets of
authentic Hadiths ; the Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmizi, Sunnan Ibn
Majah
and Sunnan Nasa’I.
The
following is not intended to
offend Muslims, but to show the teachings and examples of Muhammad.
Many
Muslims may have little real knowledge of what their god Allah and
their
prophet has said on this topic.

“MAGIC,
SORCERY, DIVINATION, CASTING

ARE
FORBIDDEN IN ISLAM”
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

MUSLIMS
SAY
“HASN’T
YOUR CHRISTIAN BIBLE HAS BEEN CORRUPTED?”
but
the
Qu’ran says the opposite … “THE BIBLE IS NOT CORRUPT!”

“MUSLIM ANCESTRY”
Arabs and Muslims come from Ishmael’s
descendants + his daughters marrying Esau +
Esau’s descendants + descendants from
Moab and Ammon +
descendants from the 12 Dukes …
and these five groups intermarrying
with each other in one genetic soup …
see the following diagram. They find it impossible
to trace back their lineage.

The following are some scriptures
for the above:
Abraham with Hagar
give birth to Ishmael ...

“WHAT IS
SIMUL IUSTUS ET PECCATOR?”
“simultaneously

that is, at the same time, be declared right before the law, with the
penalty
of his crime paid for, but still remain
a sinner”

“THE DOCTRINES
OF GRACE (D.O.G.S
aka CALVINISM)
WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S”
I fell off
my chair when I first watched the two
idiots, Larry and Richard, in a boat, with a dead Bernie propped up
between
them, motoring by some onlookers on the shore, pretending that Bernie
was not
dead, by attaching one end of a rope to the dead Bernie’s wrist, and
manipulating
it into up and down waving movements,
by means of a
pulley.
How can
this apply to Calvinism?
Simple …
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

“WHY ARE
THEY CALLED D.O.G.S?”
Doctrines Of
Grace
Dear
Reader, there are two types of dogs in
the Bible … and neither get a good report.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Yes, Dear
Reader, the local pub was the place where
one supposedly got the common man’s verdict on a variety of subjects …
and this
is called The Pub Test.

“THE ONLY
THING YOU’LL EVER NEED TO REFUTE A
CALVINIST
aka ‘THE
DOCTRINES OF GRACE’
(DOG) BELIEVER”
Yes, Dear
Reader, watch TD and all his
friends …. Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible
Grace and
Perseverance of the Saints … disappear over the precipice …
like
one of
those trucks you see on TV,
with all the baddies inside.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

“THE BIG DUMB GOD THEORY”
aka God
Almighty was unable to get us his inerrant,
infallible and inspired words in a final written form
Yes Dear
Reader … but they did exist as some
unseen, unread and unheard of pile of lost papers that are called ‘the
original
manuscripts’ … they are some mythical writings that can
only be found
in
heaven.

increased ‘respectability’ of various wigs, hats and lipsticks as follows:

“SOLO
GRATIA, SOLO CHRISTO, SOLA FIDE, SOLA
SCRIPTURA”
Today, we
are living in a time when the real
distinction between Pauline Christianity and Roman
Catholicism amounts
to nothing in the minds of most people.
Except for
prejudice and sentiment there
remains very little in the wall of separation.
The vast
majority of denominational ‘Christians’
and Roman Catholics do not know what the real difference is between the
two
doctrines.

Although it’s been around for a while,

couldn’t be achieved individually.”

As a Christian, you have no
choice – it’s
The King James Bible also known as

Dear Reader, when you talk to a Jehovah’s Witness,
you will notice that if you start to talk about redemption, they get
quite defensive about it … and replace it, with the word “ransom”.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

“WHAT IS
REDEMPTION MONEY?”
“And Moses
took the redemption money of them that
were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:”
(Numbers
3:49)
It was
reported that Frank Sinatra, when he was
alive, said to the Pope “How much money would I have to pay for you to
hear my
confession and clear my conscience?”
Now
whether or not it was officially accepted by
the Catholic church remains a secret, however this practice is still
rife among
Catholics today.

High Priest,
was convicted by the courts and put in prison for his part in killing

Ever seen that diagram of the two cliffs
called SINFUL SELF and HOLY GOD separated by a chasm of hell
fire? Coming out of the SINFUL SELF cliff you have various bridges, named religion,
morality, good works, philosophy and repentance
that only go so far before crumbling into HELL FIRE? As follows:

The above diagram says that … “Well … yes, we aren’t
perfect … but we’ve done our best … and God will fill up the rest of the way.”
Dear Reader, if you think this gives the wrong impression
… you are right in the light of the following scriptures Isaiah 64:6, Ephesians
2:9 and Romans 3:10 and many more.
THE DIAGRAM SHOULD BE:

You, yourself, are one heart beat from
hell
fire, and this will be despite what you do
or don’t do.
As the scripture says
“But we are all as an unclean thing, and all
our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; …”
(Isaiah 64:6)
Dear Reader, this is all our good things …
our religion, morality, repentance, good works and philosophy
… we are unclean and All our righteousnesses are filthy.
