July 23rd:
ARTHUR'S QUOTE:
''Why is it that the left cracks down on religious expressions, especially Christian, but not on Islam? I'm trying to figure this out""
I believe that if "CHRISTIAN" would only 'UNITE'
The Muslim prayer, call to prayer, the faithful of the Muslim religion, is not just a religion it is a way of life.
If CHRISTIANS would take the seriousness of CHRISTIANITY , back to the basics the way JESUS intented to be.
CALL TO PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN , why dont CHRISTIAN answer the same call to prayer, unite and pray for those five prayer times at the same time the Muslims are doing it.
WE WILL BE PRAYING TO THE LIVING GOD, AND A LIVING SAVIOUR.
If CHRISTIANS were as dedicated to their prayer life, myself included, and if we were just as VOCAL, as WILLING TO STAND UP AND BE HEARD, WILLING TO FIGHT FOR RIGHTS TO BE CHRISTIAN, I have observed that Christians when they do stand up and fight take the VIOLENT WAY IN THE NAME OF CHRISTIANITY, and that type of history has taint the CHRISTIAN CAUSE so much that it is no wonder that people are confused and scorn CHRISTIANITY because of those few, why the rest of us PRAY. But remember what James says, FAITH WITHOUT WORKS . CHRISTIANS , myself included, NEED TO PUT LEGS ON THOSE PRAYER, and be willing to PUT ACTIONS TO THE SERVICE OF GOD, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, be a PAUL, TIMOTHY, PETER, THE OTHER APOSTLES, TITUS, JAMES, JUDE, ETC. Like Summer said, be willing to be MARTYRS FOR CHRIST, just like the Islam nation.
We Christian tend to be lazy Christians , myself included, tend to think that if we pray about an issue, we have done our part. Or if we send money to missions, missionaries doing the work in the countries, were they cant even send letters, for fear of being jail, torture, or killed, because of the policies of the countries they are serving in.
Or we complain, complain, and are not willing to do anything.
THESE ARE ONLY SOME OF THE REASONS ARTHUR:
Were are those Christians that pioneered this new world of North America, that build communities out of barren land, build the church and schools, etc.
In the days of tolerance, we have learned to roll over and accept our fate, instead of exercising our faith. In the days of political correct, even Christians are consciously exercising not to offend anyone, instead of walking in our own faith, standing up for our faith, and saying hey, no matter what, I believe in Jesus, and Jesus is the only way to Heaven. THE ONLY WAY. Christians dont have to resort to murder, car bombings, maiming, torture, raping, destructions of property or people, etc. CHRISTIANS HAVE GOD ON OUR SIDE TO FIGHT FOR US, but CHRISTIANS NEEDS TO BE WILLING TO FOLLOW GOD IN THAT FIGHT. Christians are n ot willing to follow God in that Fight. We just sit back, and think well let God fight.
Remember in the old testament, when the Children of Isreal, did follow God in the Fight to keep their nation pure for God, instead followed their own brand of Political Correctness, tolerating the other nations practices, then following in to the same practices of if feel right, then I have the right to do it. Read any Prophet book, and you will know what happen to them. Read Judges and you will know what happen to those Children of Isreal, Read Kings and Chronicles and you know what happen to the Children of Isreal.
So why shouldnt Christian of North America expect the same fate as punishment. Political correctness have polluted our nations, our tolerance have polluted our faith, and our participant with the practices we have committed Adultery against our Saviour, who we are promised as a BRIDE TO OUR KING.
So ARTHUR, DOES THIS HELP ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.
I am just stating some of the reasons. And I am just as guilty as the rest. It may not be political correct in my statements, but mostly they are true.
