Muslims Attacking Christians - Wow!

Post by Philip »

This article has so many enlightening and encouraging aspects of God's protection and the contrast of how others often respond, and how the Western press is so complicit in censoring what is happening to Christians in Muslim lands: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2015/01/ ... -survives/

Everyone should read it!

Of course. What I found far more remarkable concerns the hearts and attitudes of these Christians, that they see their persecution as an honor for Christ, their faith, their lack of hatred, their desire for forgiveness, the help of their Muslim neighbors. That their story so clearly demonstrated media bias is merely a plus - hopefully, one that might wake a few people up to the seriousness of such persecution. Because they may well be next!

The media's take on oppression is pretty 1 sided.

Christians opposing establishment of isolated Islamic communities in their countries= Islamophobia
Muslims in Saudi Arabia Beheading Christians and apostates= "It's just their culture, you shouldn't be so judgmental and ethnocentric"

The latter quote might not sound realistic, but if you step foot on a college campus you'd definitely hear your fill of it.

I don't think you should say Western, maybe just American. Christian persecution is widely publicised where I live.

American media is woeful.........................but you only have yourselves to blame for the mess it is.
1Tim1:15-17
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.

I'm quite sure that Dan220 is talking without his brain being turned ON again! The only way to get accurate news on Christian persecution is a site like http://www.persecution.net ...Christian persecution is rampant - and has never been greater than any time in history - and the only reason we know nothing about it is because don't want to know and we live in comfy countries.

http://www.thereligionofpeace.com keeps an accurate count of murders to the glory of Allah.

Again more insults, our media here is quite extensive, especially if you watch the ABC as it is a publicly funded station.

They may not report on every persecution going on, but they do report on Christian persecution, just as they report on Palestinian persecution, homosexual persecution (perpetrated by Christians) etc...etc...

Why FL do you feel the need to keep insulting people, does it make you feel more like a man, or do you think it adds weight to your argument?

Sorry, I don't want to insult you. Your fuse is too short, you might want to get that checked.

As for the ABC, I can get that on internet, and it is CRAP... polite crap. It is quite similar to the CBC, actually. Again, for accurate reporting on Christian persecution throughout the world, you'll need to go to a dedicated site like Voice of the Martyrs. VOM has national sites in most Western nations.

:pound: You just proved my point! The ABC is a CRAP service as far as reporting Christian persecution!

A loaded comment if there ever was one! Your biggest problem is that you use an allegorical method in interpreting the Bible, hence your confusion when it comes to understanding what is plainly written. Have you figured ou 1 Pe 3:19 yet?

My fuse is fine, I am not angry, just confused by your behaviour. If you don't want to insult people, then why do you say nasty things? It makes no sense to me? I feel like you have an inferiority complex and you have to put others down to make yourself feel better.


:pound: You just proved my point! The ABC is a CRAP service as far as reporting Christian persecution!
It doesn't prove your point, it proves my point that there is no conspiracy against Christians.

What this has to do with the subject matter I have no idea, again I think you are trying to put me down to make yourself feel better. That's ok I can take it, but don't think I am fooled by the charade. :D

Conspiracy? There is no conspiracy. Christians are just being slaughtered throughout Africa, throughout the Magreb, in Syria, Iraq, Pakistan...for a complete list of countries hostile and dangerous for Christians, you must get the news from a dedicated service. Your nice & polite public service panders more to minority sensitivities.

In other words, you don't have a clue about Christian persecution throughout the world.

I'm not trying to put you down. (You do a good enough job of that on your own.) You may not like me or my style, but when you have intelligent men like RickD, Philip, B.W. and Jac3510 telling you that you are mistaken when it comes to Islam, you should take the hint.

As far as 1Pe3:19 is concerned, it has nothing to do with this subject matter. I mention it only to illustrate that your method of biblical interpretation leaves you in the dark about this and many other aspects of God's Word.

Well you can't argue with silly people, they just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. :pound:

Mannerism

Within discussions, please be civil and courteous and do not resort to personal attacks. If you feel inappropriately attacked, please bring such cases privately to a moderator who can then intervene as necessary. While these instructions are likely unnecessary for the vast majority of participants, here is some biblical advice to help serve as a guide for conversations:

- Write in a manner that you would want others to write to you - "in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you" (Matthew 7:12).
- "But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth." (Colossians 3:8)
- "Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned, as it were, with salt, so that you may know how you should respond to each person." (Colossians 4:6)
- "In all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds, with purity in doctrine, dignified, sound in speech which is beyond reproach, in order that the opponent may be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us." (Titus 2:7-8)
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.
-- 1 Thessalonians 5:21

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
-- Philippians 1:6

Even in the midst of evil, good still finds a way.

I was really moved by that story, both that a Bible survived and that their Muslim neighbours helped them. There is still hope for us all after all.

Things are heating up and we may well be entering the last days. In that, there will be war against Jews and Christians as spoken of in the bible in Rev 12:1-14.

Also, yes, our kingdom is not of this world and those Christians slain are in a far better place. In that regard, God protects us due to his promise of eternal security thru Jesus Christ. God's love anger will one day be unleashed upon God's enemies at an appointed time and hour.

In the USA most of the Media mogul's who control the media are leftist Marxist humping types who hate Christians and we in the USA are aware of that. WE no longer get news - we get world without boarders propaganda.

In the USA and most likely in all western countries, this propaganda screams to Christian to conform to the world standards or else be ostracized and ridiculed. That is the first fruits of persecution and the norm when one is at war with another.

Sad to think that there are folks who think love will win ISIS types over so much so that they will send them a love offering and offer their women to the men of ISIS while quoting bible verses to justify it. For those Christians who are called by God to reach out to Muslims in order to save those who will come to Jesus I commend you all for your calling but please become aware that the poison of an Adder (Viper) is strong in Islam and you can become so pro-Muslim that you forget the true tenants of this religion is world domination and your own demise.
