"Rage"
Hi John & Jim:
Good post today, brother, regarding the Islamic religion. It seems to be -- "All the rage." (LOL) In truth, the photograph (reproduced below) you included in your post, made me wonder if this is some new kind of "road rage". (LOL)
The Christian world, and especially its teachers, pastors and evangelists, need to stop pandering to sectors of Islam. I love listening to John Hagee when he preaches on the end-times, because he has a great passion for it. But in this previous week's Sunday and Monday broadcasts, he blamed what is wrong in the Islamic religion on the "Islamo-fascists" -- over and over and over again.
Islam is a false-god worshipping, idolatrous way. Pretending the only problem is with the extremists, leaves millions of so-called "peaceful" muslims racing down the highway to hell, without any braking power, while denying the Deity of Jesus Christ. Frankly, I'm not convinced that even those "peaceful" would remain so, given the right world conditions and if push came to shove.
The hour is far too late to continue in the false thinking that we can save those in the muslim world by continuing in a neutral stance with soft-soap words. I'd rather serve a God who is willing to die for His children, then to serve a (false) god who demands that his children die for him.
God bless you, brother!
See ya in the air,
Eric
