DID GOD (CHRIST) WANT MAN TO FAIL IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN

Did God (Christ) Want Man to Fail in the Garden of Eden

Did God (Christ) Want Man to Fail in the Garden of Eden?  Is it also possible then that God (Christ) (who never changes, [Malachi 3:6 AMP]) to this very day wants man to fail?  See also Psalm 102:27 AMP.

Is it really even possible then that god could intend or intended for man to sin?  If so, does this mean god has a need for man to sin?  A need  for man to sin in order to somehow satisfy a sort of sadistic, twisted insecure desire to have man reliant upon him for forgiveness?  Could that need then be so deeply rooted in god’s being, that he was incapable of creating man without such a diabolical twist.  Does all of this sound completely absurd to you?  Well it’s both true and absurd. 

While it is true that the god of this world (Satan) absolutely intends for man to sin (rebel against the will of God (Christ)), it is in no way correct that God (Christ) ever intended for man to sin.  It is also no less absurd to think that God (Christ) “intended for man to sin” than the very notion that God (Christ) is a sinner or has sinned in the first place.  Nonetheless when you consider two (2) well known examples of Organized Religions, the destructive notion exists.  More on those two later, for now consider the three (3) statements below:

Had you (man) not committed sins, god would have brought into existence a creation that would have committed sin (and god) would have forgiven them. (A)

God would have swept you out of existence and would have replaced you by another people who have committed sin… (B)

God would sweep you out of existence and He would replace (you by) those people who would commit sin and seek forgiveness from god …” (C)

Now look again at the three (3) statements noted above here, but this time with the word god replaced by the original text and bracketed emphasis (man) of mine removed:

“Had you not committed sins, Allah would have brought into existence a creation that would have committed sin (and Allah) would have forgiven them.” (A)

God would have swept you out of existence and would have replaced you by another people who have committed sin… (B)

God would sweep you out of existence and He would replace (you by) those people who would commit sin and seek forgiveness from god …” (C)

Look familiar?  And now for a little more info on two (2) well known examples of Organized Religions wherein, allegedly at least, “god intended for man to sin”:

In case it’s not already glaringly obvious, those three (3) statements above are from Islam.  One of the two (2) forms of Organized Religion mentioned immediately.  And the god of Islam Allah is also known as the god of this world (Satan), which is of course why (or very large part of why) Islam is so bent on the destruction of the Jews and Israel.  The other is from the Mormon Church.  And while the notion that “…god intended for man to sin…” may not be part of “Formal Mormon Doctrine”, it does nonetheless form a significant portion of Mormonism (Mormon Philosophy). [Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 2:22–26]

Why then that there are so many members of modern day Christendom who are so willing to propagate a message that is so obviously little than “Doctrines of Demons”?  Could it be that they, in their exuberant and enthusiastic quest for sharing the AWESOME message of Jesus Christ / Yeshua Hamashiah, are confused?  Or are they otherwise confusing:

The, “All Knowing” (Omniscience) of God (Christ) – Knowing what the end would be, well in advance – [Isaiah 46:10]

With a perceived “intent”

Is there a difference between the terms “All Knowing” and “Intention” (or wilful intent or a planned purpose / outcome from the very beginning)?

Let’s begin with a quick look at some worldly definitions for the two bolded points above:

All Knowing – “Adj. 1. - infinitely wise – omniscient.”

Intention – “Noun 1. - intention - an anticipated outcome that is intended or that guides your planned actions;”

Above definitions courtesy of - TheFreeDictionary

Okay now let’s look at the final authority (or what absolutely should be the final authority) for the Christian:

The Holy Bible, God’s (Christ’s) Holy Word, does teach us that God is in fact – Omniscient (All knowing, as noted above in Isaiah 46:10).  But does the Bible actually say that God created Adam and Eve, with the wilful, planned intent to reject His (God’s) commandments?  Well for now, I am at a loss to find any clear, concise Biblical Scripture(s) that genuinely supports, let alone blatantly teaches, such heresy.

Please do not misunderstand me; there are a host of Biblical passages that clearly support that God created with clear purposeful intent.  What is missing however is a clear indication that God’s (Christ’s) intent was “for man to Fail in the Garden of Eden”, from the very beginning!  As noted above, God (Christ) never changes, [Malachi 3:6 AMP], otherwise it would only make sense that right up to this very day God (Christ) must still want man to fail.  And that notion is, in and of itself, completely and utterly absurd.

Why absurd, one might ask?  Well according to [Jeremiah 29:11 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)] God (Christ) says “ “I say this because I know the plans that I have for you.” This message is from the LORD. “I have good plans for you. I don’t plan to hurt you. I plan to give you hope and a good future. ” ”  Also according to [John 10:10 Amplified Bible (AMP)] “I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it ^[a]overflows).”

How is it then that people, whether they be followers of:

Islam,

a deviation from the Christian Church such as Mormonism,

or even well meaning Christians

How is it that they come up with teachings, sermons and messages like, God (Christ) “intended for man to sin”?  The answer very simply and so terribly sadly reverts back to Organized Religion.  They listen to the chatter of someone, a friend, family member or someone who holds themselves out as an authority on Biblical matters. 

All too often what these well meaning people to do is feed their own personal (and occasionally ill-placed) interpretation of God’s (Christ’s) Holy Word, to their audience.  Those people, upon hearing the “message” in turn apply their personal and ill-placed interpretations onto the message… And on we go.  Add to the practice of making interpretations or interpretations, a tendency we all have to “read between the lines”.  We’ll read a sentence here, and another one there, and begin to second guess.  Oft times even blatantly declaring that “sure this sentence says “_______”, and that sentence says “___________ ____________”, but when I put them together, I am sure they mean “___________ __________ ______________ ___ _______”.  This can be an extremely foolish and even dangerous practice.  Especially when it’s applied to God’s (Christ’s) Holy Word!

So many questions, so many “unknowns”, so very many variables, people in this Church or that Church saying this or that… What’s a person to do?  How can we find peace?  Peace in this life, peace with God (Christ)?  READ first hand God’s (Christ’s) Holy Word.  And please do not take anything I write at face value, rather research and verify the facts and form your own opinions.

“Know Jesus, know peace whereas no Jesus, no peace” 

How does one get to “know” Jesus?  Simple, invite Him into your heart, as Jesus says: “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” [Revelations 3:20 NIV]  How can we be assured that this Jesus stuff means anything, well because the Bible tells us so, as the Apostle Paul wrote:

“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” [Romans 10:9-10 NIV]

And for those of you who say to me, I can’t be bothered reading the Bible, “it’s confusing” or “it’s a waste of my time”, may I draw your attention to what the Bible says about wisdom: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” [Proverbs 9:10 NIV]

If nothing else, PLEASE read two chapters from the Bible – (don’t own one, sorry NO excuse, if you’re reading this, you can access this: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%203:16&version=NIV) John 3 and John 14!

John 3:16 says:  “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

And John 14:6 says: “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

MUSLIM ARROGANCE TOWARD JEWS AND CHRISTIANS

Why Muslims are so arrogant around Jews and Christians

The following intro to this very revealing information was penned by a friend:

“If you have ever wondered why Muslims act so arrogant around Jews and Christians read on.

Ismail ibn Kathir (Arabic: ابن كثير) (1301–1373) was a Muslim muhaddith, Faqih, historian, and commentator. He wrote a commentary on the Quran. Here is his commentary on Surah 9:29 and following. The words of the Quran are (inside the brackets like this); his commentary is outside the brackets.” (By Otto H. 16 / Jan / 12)

Emphases’ in ALL CAPS AND BOLD below, both within and outside the “(brackets)” are mine within the quoted passages that follow.  All quoted content below is from [http://abdurrahman.org] a “…research tool for muslims and non-muslims seeking knowledge about Islam, muslims, Quran and Sunnah.”

The Order to fight People of the Scriptures until They give the Jizyah

“Allah said,

(Fight against those who believe not in Allah, nor in the Last Day, nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth among the People of the Scripture, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.) Therefore, when People of the Scriptures disbelieved in Muhammad , they had no beneficial faith in any Messenger or what the Messengers brought. Rather, they followed their religions because this conformed with their ideas, lusts and the ways of their forefathers, not because they are Allah's Law and religion. Had they been true believers in their religions, that faith would have directed them to believe in Muhammad , because all Prophets gave the good news of Muhammad's advent and commanded them to obey and follow him. Yet when he was sent, they disbelieved in him, even though he is the mightiest of all Messengers. Therefore, they do not follow the religion of earlier Prophets because these religions came from Allah, but because these suit their desires and lusts. Therefore, their claimed faith in an earlier Prophet will not benefit them because they disbelieved in the master, the mightiest, the last and most perfect of all Prophets . Hence Allah's statement,  

tolerancec+my+ass.JPG - ibloga.blogspot.com 

(Fight against those who believe not in Allah, nor in the Last Day, nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth among the People of the Scripture,) This honorable Ayah was revealed with the order to fight the People of the Book, after the pagans were defeated, the people entered Allah's religion in large numbers, and the Arabian Peninsula was secured under the Muslims' control. Allah commanded His Messenger to fight the People of the Scriptures, Jews and Christians, on the ninth year of Hijrah, and he prepared his army to fight the Romans and called the people to Jihad announcing his intent and destination. The Messenger sent his intent to various Arab areas around Al-Madinah to gather forces, and he collected an army of thirty thousand. Some people from Al-Madinah and some hypocrites, in and around it, lagged behind, for that year was a year of drought and intense heat. The Messenger of Allah marched, heading towards Ash-Sham to fight the Romans until he reached Tabuk, where he set camp for about twenty days next to its water resources. He then prayed to Allah for a decision and went back to Al-Madinah because it was a hard year and the people were weak, as we will mention, Allah willing.” [http://abdurrahman.org/qurantafseer/ibnkathir/ibnkathir_web/9.20980.html]

Paying Jizyah is a Sign of Kufr and Disgrace

Torture Division - angrymetalguy.com

“ALLAH THE EXALTED ENCOURAGES THE BELIEVERS TO FIGHT THE POLYTHEISTS, DISBELIEVING JEWS AND CHRISTIANS, who uttered this terrible statement and utter lies against Allah, the Exalted.
 “Allah said,

(until they pay the Jizyah), if they do not choose to embrace Islam,

(with willing submission), in defeat and subservience,

(and feel themselves subdued.), disgraced, humiliated and belittled. Therefore, MUSLIMS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HONOR THE PEOPLE OF DHIMMAH OR ELEVATE THEM ABOVE MUSLIMS, FOR THEY ARE MISERABLE, DISGRACED AND HUMILIATED. Muslim recorded from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet said,

(Do not initiate the Salam to the Jews and Christians, and IF YOU MEET ANY OF THEM IN A ROAD, FORCE THEM TO ITS NARROWEST ALLEY.) This is why the Leader of the faithful `Umar bin Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, demanded his well-known conditions be met by the Christians, these conditions that ensured their CONTINUED HUMILIATION, DEGRADATION AND DISGRACE. The scholars of Hadith narrated from `Abdur-Rahman bin Ghanm Al-Ash`ari that he said, "I recorded for `Umar bin Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, the terms of the treaty of peace he conducted with the Christians of Ash-Sham: `In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. This is a document to the servant of Allah `Umar, the Leader of the faithful, from the Christians of such and such city. When you (Muslims) came to us we requested safety for ourselves, children, property and followers of our religion. We made a condition on ourselves that we will neither erect in our areas a monastery, church, or a sanctuary for a monk, nor restore any place of worship that needs restoration nor use any of them for the purpose of enmity against Muslims. We will not prevent any Muslim from resting in our churches whether they come by day or night, and we will open the doors ﴿of our houses of worship﴾ for the wayfarer and passerby. Those Muslims who come as guests, will enjoy boarding and food for three days. We will not allow a spy against Muslims into our churches and homes or hide deceit ﴿or betrayal﴾ against Muslims. WE WILL NOT TEACH OUR CHILDREN THE QUR'AN, publicize practices of Shirk, invite anyone to Shirk or prevent any of our fellows from embracing Islam, if they choose to do so. WE WILL RESPECT MUSLIMS, MOVE FROM THE PLACES WE SIT IN IF THEY CHOOSE TO SIT IN THEM. We will not imitate their clothing, caps, turbans, sandals, hairstyles, speech, nicknames and title names, or ride on saddles, hang swords on the shoulders, collect weapons of any kind or carry these weapons. We will not encrypt our stamps in Arabic, or sell liquor. We will have the front of our hair cut, wear our customary clothes wherever we are, wear belts around our waist, refrain from erecting crosses on the outside of our churches and demonstrating them and our books in public in Muslim fairways and markets. We will not sound the bells in our churches, except discretely, or raise our voices while reciting our holy books inside our churches in the presence of Muslims, nor raise our voices ﴿ with prayer﴾ at our funerals, or light torches in funeral processions in the fairways of Muslims, or their markets. We will not bury our dead next to Muslim dead, or buy servants who were captured by Muslims. We will be guides for Muslims and refrain from breaching their privacy in their homes.' When I gave this document to `Umar, he added to it, `We will not beat any Muslim. These are the conditions that we set against ourselves and followers of our religion in return for safety and protection. If we break any of these promises that we set for your benefit against ourselves, then our Dhimmah (promise of protection) is broken and you are allowed to do with us what you are allowed of people of defiance and rebellion.'''

(30. And the Jews say: "Uzayr (Ezra) is the son of Allah,'' and the Christians say: "The Messiah is the son of Allah.'' That is their saying with their mouths, resembling the saying of those who disbelieved aforetime. May Allah fight them, how they are deluded away from the truth!) (31. They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allah, and (they also took as their Lord) the Messiah, son of Maryam, while they were commanded to worship none but One God, none has the right to be worshipped but He. Praise and hallowed be He above what they associate (with Him).'') ”  [http://abdurrahman.org/qurantafseer/ibnkathir/ibnkathir_web/9.20986.html]

Fighting the Jews and Christians is legislated because They are Idolators and Disbelievers 

As for the Jews, they claimed that `Uzayr was the son of God, Allah is free of what they attribute to Him. As for the misguidance of Christians over `Isa, it is obvious. This is why Allah declared both groups to be liars,

(That is their saying with their mouths), but they have no proof that supports their claim, other than lies and fabrications,

(resembling), imitating,

(the saying of those who disbelieved aforetime.) They imitate the previous nations who fell into misguidance just as Jews and Christians did,

(may Allah fight them), Ibn `Abbas said, "May Allah curse them.''

(how they are deluded away from the truth!) how they deviate from truth, when it is apparent, exchanging it for misguidance. Allah said next,

(They took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allah, and the Messiah, son of Maryam) ﴿9:31﴾. Imam Ahmad, At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Jarir At-Tabari recorded a Hadith via several chains of narration, from `Adi bin Hatim, may Allah be pleased with him, who became Christian during the time of Jahiliyyah. When the call of the Messenger of Allah reached his area, `Adi ran away to Ash-Sham, and his sister and several of his people were captured. The Messenger of Allah freed his sister and gave her gifts. So she went to her brother and encouraged him to become Muslim and to go to the Messenger of Allah . `Adi, who was one of the chiefs of his people (the tribe of Tai') and whose father, Hatim At-Ta'i, was known for his generosity, went to Al-Madinah. When the people announced his arrival, `Adi went to the Messenger of Allah wearing a silver cross around his neck. The Messenger of Allah recited this Ayah;

(They took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allah). `Adi commented, "I said, `They did not worship them.''' The Prophet said,

(Yes they did. They (rabbis and monks) prohibited the allowed for them (Christians and Jews) and allowed the prohibited, and they obeyed them. This is how they worshipped them.) The Messenger of Allah said to `Adi,

(O `Adi what do you say Did you run away (to Ash-Sham) so that 'Allahu Akbar' (Allah is the Great) is not pronounced Do you know of anything greater than Allah What made you run away Did you run away so that `La ilaha illallah' is not pronounced Do you know of any deity worthy of worship except Allah)

The Messenger invited `Adi to embrace Islam, and he embraced Islam and pronounced the Testimony of Truth. The face of the Messenger of Allah beamed with pleasure and he said to `Adi,

(Verily, the Jews have earned the anger (of Allah) and the Christians are misguided.) Hudhayfah bin Al-Yaman, `Abdullah bin `Abbas and several others said about the explanation of,

(They took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allah...) that the Christians and Jews obeyed their monks and rabbis in whatever they allowed or prohibited for them. This is why Allah said,

(while they were commanded to worship none but One God), Who, whatever He renders prohibited is the prohibited, whatever He allowed is the allowed, whatever He legislates, is to be the law followed, and whatever He decides is to be adhered to;

Peace Ship - newstime.co.nz

 (None has the right to be worshipped but He. Hallowed be He above what they associate (with Him).) Meaning, exalted, sanctified, hallowed above partners, equals, aids, rivals or children, there is no deity or Lord worthy of worship except Him.  

(32. They want to extinguish Allah's Light with their mouths, but Allah will not allow except that His Light should be perfected even though the disbelievers hate (it).) (33. It is He Who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, to make it superior over all religions even though the idolators hate (it).) ”  [http://abdurrahman.org/qurantafseer/ibnkathir/ibnkathir_web/9.20998.html]

Once again, all of the above is awful and in fact awfully FULL of GLOOM, DOOM and DESPAIR.  Is all lost?  Are humans and human life on this planet as we understand for a soon extermination?  Is there any hope for life, peace, love and liberty?  This writer thinks YES!  For those who would like to know more about peace, again that real genuine inner peace, one need only to turn to or seek Jesus Christ / Yeshuah Hamashiach – the Prince of Peace.  [Isaiah 9:6 AMP]  There is indeed, great news for you!

GAZA RIGHTS ACTIVIST STABBED AFTER CRITICIZING BOTH THE PALESTINIAN "RESISTANCE" GROUPS AND GOVERNMENT

Gaza rights activist stabbed after criticizing both the Palestinian "resistance" groups and government

Mahmud Abu Rahma, A Palestinian rights activist in Gaza, has been stabbed for "...warning that both the Palestinian "resistance" groups and government were failing ordinary citizens."

This is what so many of us have been speaking about for months.  Israel is being demonized for alleged human rights violations of the Palestinians.  When someone says, “If the Arab states of Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Syria really are the legitimate ‘homelands’ of the people we call Palestinians, why don’t those Arab States welcome the Palestrina’s home?”   That would seem a logical and fair question, and IF it really was Israel who was being so oppressive to the Palestinians, that move would also provide for their (the Palestinians) safety.

So then, why do those Arab States mentioned, NOT open their borders?  The answer is really very simple and exceedingly tragic.  And it is very well summed up both in this Vancouver Sun Article and also in the Article entitled “The Gap between Resistance and Governance.” written by Rahma, wherein Rahma says:

“It is safe to assume that neither the government nor the resistance is willing to step in to protect people who dare to criticize them.” [http://www.maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=449852]

None of the surrounding Arab States care (and in fact even the Palestinian Authority (P.A.)  cares not) about the plight of the Palestinian Peoples.  The surrounding Arab States do not want the Palestinian peoples within their borders.  And not only do they not want the Palestinian Peoples within their borders, keeping them out and “demonizing” Israel and the Jewish people serves a greater purpose for each of those Arab States.  It keeps the worlds’ focus on the on the alleged evils of the Israelis, creating a distraction from bonā fidē evils of those same said Arab States.

The broad theme of the information above has been the subject and focus of a couple Bloggers over the past 96 hours, including two (2) of my own – “Demonization of the Jews” – and – “Hatred of the Jews and Israel”.  It is high time the World opened its eyes, and viewed the “Plight of the Palestinian Peoples” for what it is – Arab Propaganda designed to accomplish a two-fold purpose: 

First the demonizing of Israel / Jews; and

Second to further the cause of Islam.

If all of this seems rather daunting or overwhelming even to you, please believe me when I say that you are not alone.  The state of global unrest in our world can be, and in fact is, very disturbing indeed.  Iran is posturing for global superiority with the threat of aggression (possible nuclear strike) against the oft demonized State of Israel, as well as the nations of the UK & US and others in the west.  The recent response from Moscow that “Russia would regard any military intervention linked to Iran’s nuclear programme as a threat to its own security, Moscow’s departing ambassador to NATO warned on Friday.”  (“Moscow warned” – from Friday the 13^th January 2012)

The prospect of peace, I mean real genuine inner peace, seems rather unlikely.  At every passing turn, some wannabe super power somewhere is flexing its military muscle and threatening global survival, not just peace.  The old stop-gap measures of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) that curtailed, or helped curtail some of the nuclear bantering during the “Cold War” era, is negated.  In fact the very concept appears to be completely absent from the vocabularies of the Regimes of the likes of the Islamic extremists President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the current Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader.  When a people group begins on a large scale to readily to blow themselves up in their quest to prove that theirs is the “Religion of Peace”, one can see very quickly they really place no value on human life, not even their own.

For those who would like to know more about peace, again that real genuine inner peace, one need only to turn to or seek Jesus Christ / Yeshuah Hamashiach – the Prince of Peace.  [Isaiah 9:6 AMP]  There is indeed, great news for you!

“Know Jesus, know peace whereas no Jesus, no peace”

THE DEMONIZATION OF THE JEWS AND THE JEWISH STATE

The Demonization of the Jews and the Jewish State

Why is it that western Democratic Politicians, including People in general seem to think Israeli democracy is some how different to theirs?  That some how Israelis Commit war Crimes against Humanity when the very charges themselves are based on flimsy and questionable evidences… well, more to the point, there are no evidence whatsoever other than what the Muslims and Arab Regimes tell us.  Why is it that the Words of Dictators, Hamas, Hezbollah, and other Arab Thugs seem to add more weight than that of the Israelis?

The truth is, those who think Israel is Guilty want to believe this, they are actually thinking evil about Israel rather than looking objectively and weighing up the real hard facts.  Of course we know that Israelis are like us, free and democratic, free people think and act differently particularly when they’re in a war situation.  The Arabs and the Islamic side behave totally opposite yet here we find western Democratic thinkers always ready to put Israel in the dock rather than being objective.  Well, another point is those western thinkers know well enough that the Arabs have no freedom, not even freedom of thought.  When Israel is charged with some Violation, the truth is always the case that Israel get the blame for the crimes done by the Arabs, instead of western Nations condemning the real Perpetrators, they find it more convenient to blame Israel for the very Crimes committed by the Arabs themselves. 

Part of the reason for this is because most western nations don't accept the Bible and the Historic fact That This Land belonged to the Jews.  Those who do accept the historic facts don't think they are relevant any more.  And of course the Arabs with their perverse god and Sharia background strike fear in western minds and they think they can tame the Arabs if they can only be seen to be taking their sides in the Middle East.  And Arabs have Oil of course.  But it goes much deeper than this.  Anti-Israelism is the New but subtle (Hidden) form of Anti-Semitism.  This way, they can hide their Anti-Semitism by Blaming Israel for crimes they supposedly commit and that they are the real problem because they occupy a land that does not belong to them, WHICH IS A BIG LIE Anyway!

Being Anti-Israeli is fashionable since they say it is Zionists who Control the World, quite a claim when most of the World is against them and they are doing their best just to hold on to a patch of land.  If they Control the world, odd indeed those very people are facing losing their Country which is the size of Wales surrounded by a sea of Corrupt Despotic Regimes and Islamic agitators.  Yes, they use the Palestinian Issue to demonize Israel.  They try to convince us it not that they’re anti-Israeli but they are rather Pro-Palestine and supporting their freedom etc… Oh come on... Palestine freedom?  What Freedom is that when it home?  The Palestinians are trapped under the Tyranny of their own Corrupt leaders.

The Palestinians would be better off under the Israeli and every sane westerner knows this… so why all the hatred and bashing of the Only True democratic state in the Middle East?  Because they hate Jews… that is the simple answer!  The rest are ignorant and are being manipulated by the Anti-Israeli media and haters… they are being blinded by the false reports and trumped up charges leveled against Israel every time they decide to retaliate and defend their own people.  Israel makes mistakes like any other democratic state.  But never do they go out of their way to injure civilians… rather; they risk their own Soldiers to avoid Killing Civilians, Civilians that are deliberately put in harms way by the Fascist Hamas and Hezbollah.  That’s right, it’s the Arabs who fight this way, and they don't even hide it so why do the Nations always accuse Israel of such crimes? Because they hate Israel!

THE Bible tells us that there would be such a Venom against Israel that even the ordinary people would be blinded by the lies. Anti-Semitism is essentially a Spiritual Phenomena which reflect itself through those who choose for various reasons to hate Jews.  Have you noticed how relentless the Enemies of Israel are?  They are forever Blaming Israel, never taking an Objective view, always Israel, Israel, Israel... Israel is the fault! They can do no right!

WHY DO PEOPLE SO HATE THE JEWS, ISRAEL AND GOD’S HOLY CITY JERUSALEM

Why do people so hate the Jews, Israel and God’s Holy City Jerusalem

If I may share one thought, relating to why so many hate Jews...

It is my belief that it's a two-fold issue:

First – It's  rooted in an age-old blood feud (of sorts), between the bastard child of a concubine - The Ishmaelites (Arabs) descendants of Ishmael by way of Hagar; and the first born son (Isaac) by way of Sarah - The Jews

Second – I believe that when Satan rebelled, proclaiming the now notorious "Five I Wills" Isaiah 14:12-17, and then God subsequently cast him out of Heaven - Ezekiel 28:11-19, that he (Satan) so hated God and anything "Godly" (especially God's CHOSEN people the Jews [Deuteronomy 7:6]) that he (Satan) is constantly gnawing away at the minds of people, whispering in their ears all manner of vile anti-God, ergo Anti-Semitic, trash.

When the first and second are combined, sadly… no make that TRAGICALLY, hatred of the Jews is the end result...

In simple terms, in my opinion: 

Global hatred of the Jew is rooted in hatred of (dislike / distrust) for God.

i) - I have read several excerpts from the Qur'an, and what I see are many stories (some of which have come from Old & New Testament stories, often with details between the old and new mixed up) about a very angry, vengeful and spiteful god (demi-god, demon, useless little rock Idol) Allah, and the people (God’s creation) he (Allah) despises.  I agree the Koran / Qur'an is NOT a good book, by any stretch of the imagination.  Also, I firmly believe that the god (demi-god, demon, useless little rock Idol) of Islam is none other than that evil, vile and ancient serpent, who first tempted Eve in Genesis, in the Garden of Eden (more on how Allah, is Satan, in my opinion, later).

ii) - With respect to Sarah, and how she plays in this, Sarah is the mother of Isaac (who fathered Jacob, who in turn fathered Joseph).  With Sarah being Abraham's wife, that makes Isaac the rightful heir (legally speaking) to the Jewish lineage.

Hagar, on the other hand was Sarah's maid servant & concubine to Abraham, thus as Abraham’s concubine and the mother of Ishmael, Hagar bore Abraham, by all legal definitions, a bastard child, with zero claims the either the Biblical blessings or promises made to Abraham.  Ishmael, as we know from history and Torah went on to be the father of the peoples we now call Arabs.

Of course Abraham was biological father to both boys, Isaac (his legitimate son from Sarah) and Ishmael (his illegitimate son from Hagar)

So in answer to the query - "What does Sarah play in this?" She was Abraham's wife and is the mother to the legitimate son of Abraham.  And the offspring of Ishmael, being Ishmaelites (Arabs) have been jealous of, even hating, the Jews ever since.

iii) – The second point (from above), which is of course about what I called “Satan's Rebellion”.

It is my contention and firm belief that the serpent referred to in Genesis who tempted Eve, is none other than he to whom I would refer as Satan, a fallen angel or Lucifer (The Devil).  It is also my belief that Satan was banished from Heaven for his arrogance, arrogant rebellion and wanton lust for personal recognition.

As Genesis tells us God created everything (stars, planets, angels, critters and people) and that man (mankind / people) was / were His final creative work, it seems fair to conclude Satan was a created member of God’s angelic host and that he was created sometime before man.  Ezekiel tells us that he (Satan) was “…blameless in… (his) ways from the day…(he was) created until …” Ezekiel 28:15  So this begs the question(s) WHY and WHEN did Satan rebel?

Personally I believe the WHY of Satan’s rebellion came from jealousy.  The same kind of jealousy we sometimes see with older children, when a younger sibling comes into the picture.  Satan was God’s cherished Cherub (angel), and then God did the unthinkable (unthinkable in Satan’s jealous mind) – He created man.  But He did not just created man; He created man in His very IMAGE!  As time marched forward, man was given a companion and eventually God gazed upon His wondrous creation and thought: “…behold, it was very good …” Genesis 1:31  “Very Good” God said, thus up until, and even including this point in time, Satan still ranked as a Guardian Cherub.

Sometime after this point, seeing how God had turned so much of His affections towards man, Satan became increasingly jealous, and eventually rebelled.  If you can imagine, God walking with His creation (man and woman) daily, just before sunset, and how left out Satan was beginning to feel.  (And this returns us to the question of when did Satan rebel?)  God even placed man, according to Genesis 2:15, “…put him in the Garden of Eden …”  Satan was incensed!  And, although specific express dates aren’t provided it does seem evident that Satan, hating that he was no longer the centre of God’s attention, rebelled and was cast down from Heaven.

Since that fateful day, the day when God said “…you shall be brought down to Sheol (Hades) …” to Satan, Satan has been working feverishly to destroy God’s creation.  He began with the temptation of Eve in the Garden, and has been wryly casting or attempting to cast his spells of deception, hatred and confusion ever since.  This of course begs yet another question, why man?  Why focus his attention on destroying man, why such intense HATRED of God’s crowning glory in all of creation – MAN?

The answer lies, I believe, with how the Bible describes man being created.  According to Genesis 1:27 God “…created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them.”  Therefore from the date of the creation of man, made in the image of God Himself; Satan, whenever he has gazed upon man, has seen (for all intents and purposes) the image of God.  The very creator, who once lauded him (Satan) as Guardian Cherub, had now subsequently exiled him (Satan).  And not just exiled, but an all out banishment and pronouncement of harsh judgement was made upon Satan.  Thus what Satan SEES, upon seeing anything Godly, is in effect “God” and therefore he (Satan) seeks its utter annihilation.

Satan has now spent the past very nearly six millennia pursuing ways to further separate God from His creation, man.  First he set about trying to separate God and man by casting doubt in either the absolute authority of God, as he did when he temped Eve, according to Genesis 3:4 and also thereby casting doubt into even the very existence of God.  God had granted man the right to eat from any tree in the Garden, save one, and that was the tree in the middle of the Garden, for if you do, you will die; and Satan said to Eve “You shall not surely die…”.  Satan flat out called God a ‘big fat liar’!

During this time of Satan’s rampage against God, he (Satan) has ‘masterminded’ or at least attempted to mastermind an almost infinitely great number of religions, religious off-shoots and a sort of “religion” made up of denying religion(s) and / or God completely. 

And this of course brings me right back to my earlier comment on, “how Allah is Satan, in my opinion”.  It took him (Satan) all of the roughly four-thousand years of Jewish history (since the “Fall of Man” Genesis 3:6), and better than another one-half of a Millennia to establish a religion / religious following that would permit, propagate and even perpetuate his ultimate goal(s) – The DEMISE of human kind.  That religion (it’s really a geo-political / socio-economic machine, designed to annihilate humans, under the aesthetic guise of “religion”) is of course, Islam.

Don’t believe me that Islam, seeks the complete obliteration of Human Kind and places no value on Human Life whatsoever?  Consider then, if you will just a few events from recent history.  9-11, and the “September 11 Terrorist Attacks on the United States” wherein 19 Islamic / Jihadist terrorists took not only the lives of some 3,000 innocents, in their sick, twisted and deluded faith in the Satanic god Allah.  Note, they also exterminated their own lives.  Additionally, not only is Islam bent on global conquest (Religion of Peace, my ass) Allah (Satan) will never be satisfied until all human life has been wholly eradicated.  Sunni’ hate Shi’ite’s and vice versa. 

 

And finally let’s explore the events of very recent history, the fall of 2011 and Iran’s nuclear posturing under the Islamic extremists President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the current Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader.  It used to be, during the “cold war” era that a concept called “Mutually Assured Destruction” (MAD) worked as a deterrent from Global Thermal Nuclear War.  Not so with especially the radicals in Iran, they have made it vividly clear they do not give a rat’s ass about the prospect(s) of their own demise.  Are you seeing the point?  Islam is completely and utterly devoted to its god’s calling, the obliteration of human kind.

Contrast the religion of Islam and its god Allah, with the Holy Bible and the God.  Compare the love of the one true God, with the god of Islam and its blatant hate filled, hate-mongering lies as described in the Qur’an, and you should be able to quickly see how Islam, Islam’s prophet Mohammad and even Islam’s god, Allah, are all mere illusions of Satan.  The Qur’an is full of historical, scientific and Biblical inaccuracies for example:

Historical inaccuracies

Alexander the Great, according to the Qur’an was “…a devout Muslim and lived to a ripe old age.”.  History, however would teach us that Alexander the Great was a Greek who was “….idolatrous and claimed to be the son of Amun, the God of Egypt.” [http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Alexander_the_Great.aspx] and also according to the Encyclopaedia quoted, Alexander the Great died at a fairly young age – 33 “Alexander the Great (356-323 B.C.)… ” 33 hardly a ‘ripe old age’… 

Scientific inaccuracies

According to the Qur’an (Surah 18:86) “Till, when he reached the setting-place of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring …”  The sun sets in a muddy pool… oh my!

Biblical inaccuracies

The Crucifixion of Christ – Qur’anically speaking, it never happened.  This one perhaps should be listed under “Historical Inaccuracies” as history supports the birth, life and death (even death on a cross) of Yeshua.

The virgin Mary, mother of Jesus Christ (Yeshua Hamashiach) – Qur’anically speaking is also the sister of Aaron (who just happened to have lived and died some 1,500 years earlier) 

How does all this relate back to hatred and “hatred of the Jews” specifically? 

a)      Arabs are modern day descendants of Isaac’s half-brother Ishmael – thus it’s an ages old family feud,

b)      Most of present day Islam remains Arabian, ergo Islam likewise follows suit and hates Israel and the Jew(s),

c)      Satan has been rejected by God, and for good reason.  Nonetheless Satan is insanely jealous of God’s pride N’ joy – Human Kind, and especially the Jews.  Satan detests anything that reminds him of the Holy God of Israel, and that begins with people in general and significantly escalates with God’s Chosen People – The Jews.   Thus he Satan will do anything to create divisiveness between people.  The Jews of course are an “easy target” in one sense, because in spite of seemingly insurmountable odds, they (the Jews) manage to overcome and thrive.

As a closing thought, I’d like to point out that although it is also described as honourable to lay down (or to be willing to give up) ones’ life, in the effort(s) of protecting loved ones within Biblical contexts, Judeo-Christian values and morals prohibit self destruction, suicide.  The Bible is a vivid collection of some 66 books depicting God, the God and Creator of all, as a loving God who values human life.  And there is only ONE God.

Deuteronomy 6:4 [NIV] tells us, “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.”  Elsewhere God, addressing His people the Jews, says:

Isaiah 44:6 “…I am the First and I am the Last; besides Me there is no God.”

Isaiah 44:8 “…Is there a God besides Me? There is no [other] Rock; I know not any.”

Isaiah 45:5 “I am the Lord, and there is no one else; there is no God besides Me…”

Isaiah 45:21 “…there is no other God besides Me, a rigidly and uncompromisingly just and righteous God and Savior; there is none besides Me.”

Isaiah 45:22 “…For I am God, and there is no other.”

Hosea 13:4 “Yet I am the Lord your God from [the time you became a nation in] the land of Egypt, and you shall know or recognize no God but Me, for there is no Savior besides Me.”

Additional details about the rebellion of Satan can be found in Ezekiel 28:11-19.  The “five I wills” I made note of from Isaiah 14:12 – 17 are:

“I will ascend to heaven”

“I will exalt my throne above the stars of God”

“I will sit upon the mount of assembly”

“I will ascend above the heights of the clouds”

“I will make myself like the Most High”

The casting out of Heaven, of Satan, is referred to in both Isaiah 14:15:

“…you shall be brought down to Sheol (Hades), to the innermost recesses of the pit (the region of the dead).”

and also in Ezekiel 28:17 & 18:

“^{17…I cast you to the ground; I lay you before kings, that they might gaze at you.}

    ¹⁸ You have profaned your sanctuaries by the multitude of your iniquities and the enormity of your guilt, by the unrighteousness of your trade. Therefore I have brought forth a fire from your midst; it has consumed you, and I have reduced you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all who looked at you.”

Additionally Ezekiel 28:13 says he (Satan) was in the Garden of Eden: “You were in ^[a]Eden, the garden of God;…” 28:14 says he (Satan) was an anointed Cherub,  “You were the anointed cherub…” and verses 15 and 16 explain how he (Satan) once was blameless and then rebelled “^{15 You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created until iniquity and guilt were found in you.}

    ¹⁶ Through the abundance of your commerce you were filled with lawlessness and violence, and you sinned;…”

Here are links to the Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28:

Isaiah 14 – http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2014&version=AMP

Ezekiel 28 – http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel%2028&version=AMP

“Know Jesus, know peace whereas no Jesus, no peace” 

How does one get to “know” Jesus?  Simple, invite Him into your heart, as Jesus says: “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” [Revelations 3:20 NIV]  How can we be assured that this Jesus stuff means anything, well because the Bible tells us so, as the Apostle Paul wrote:

“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” [Romans 10:9-10 NIV]

And for those of you who say to me, I can’t be bothered reading the Bible, “it’s confusing” or “it’s a waste of my time”, may I draw your attention to what the Bible says about wisdom: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” [Proverbs 9:10 NIV]

If nothing else, PLEASE read two chapters from the Bible – (don’t own one, sorry NO excuse, if you’re reading this, you can access this: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%203:16&version=NIV) John 3 and John 14!

John 3:16 says:  “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

And John 14:6 says: “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
