Mohammed was the prophet of war; Christ is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6-7).

Mohammed's disciples killed for the faith; Christ's disciples were killed for their faith (Acts 12:2; 2 Timothy 4:7).

Mohammed promoted persecution against the "infidels"; Christ forgave and converted the chief persecutor (1Timothy 1:13-15).

Mohammed was the taker of life; Christ was the giver of life (John 10:27-28).

Mohammed and his fellow warriors murdered thousands; Christ murdered none but saved many (compare John 12:48).

Mohammed's method was COMPULSION; Christ's aim was voluntary CONVERSION (Acts 3:19).

Mohammed practiced FORCE; Christ preached FAITH (John
6:29,35).

Mohammed was a WARRIOR; Christ is a DELIVERER (Col. 1:13; 1 Thessalonians
1:10).

Mohammed conquered his enemies with the sword; Christ conquered his enemies with another kind of sword, the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God (Hebrews 4:12; Acts 2:37).

Mohammed said to the masses, "Convert or die!"; Christ said, "Believe and live!" (John 6:47; 11:25-26).

Mohammed was swift to shed blood (Romans 3:15-17); Christ shed His own blood for the salvation of many (Ephesians 1:7).

Mohammed preached "Death to the infidels!"; Christ prayed "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34).

Mohammed declared a holy war (Jihad) against infidels; Christ achieved a holy victory on Calvary's cross (Colossians 2:14-15) and His followers share in that victory (John 16:33).

Mohammed constrained people by conquest; Christ constrained people by love (2 Corinthians 5:14).

Modern terrorists derive their inspiration from Mohammed and carry out their despicable atrocities in the name of his god; Christians derive heir inspiration from the One who said, "Blessed are the peacemakers" (Matthew
5:9).

Modern day disciples of Mohammed respond to the terrorist attacks by cheering in the streets; Modern day disciples of Christ are deeply grieved at past atrocities carried out by those who were "Christians" in name only (the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, etc.).

Many Muslims are peaceful and peace-loving because they do not strictly follow the teachings of their founder; Many Christians are peaceful and peace-loving because they do strictly follow the teachings of their Founder (Romans 12:17-21).

Muhammed said the Koran is authoritative only in Arabic, and only in his dialect; The Bible is authoritative in many languages around the world, for God knows all things and can inspire His Word in more than one language.

Muhammed hated music; Jesus and His disciples sang hymns, and the Apostle commanded the Lord's Church to sing. (Matthew 26:30, Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16)

Muhammed allowed that a Mullah, Imam, or Mufti of Islam can be a terrorist and moral animal like Osama bin Laden; The Bible requires that a leader in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ must be above reproach, and when this is not true, Christians demand such a fallen leader be removed from leadership. (1 Timothy 3:1-7, 5:19-20)

Islam calls on its followers to observe Five Pillars, while all other aspects of life can be vulgar and not affect the Muslim's prospects in Paradise. The Bible calls on the Christian to submit to the total change of his life by the Spirit of God-- NO area of life and thought is the choice of the follower. (Romans 12:1-2)

The Muslim looks forward to eternity in Paradise where there will be virgins who are used for eternal perpetual copulation.

The Bible believing Christian looks forward to being with Jesus Christ and is delighted with that. (2Corinthians 5:8)

Muhammed said the witness of a woman was half the value of the witness of a man; and Muhammed said a women goes to Paradise because she satisfies her husband sexually; The Bible teaches that a husband is to love his wife and be willing to die for her. (Ephesians 5:25)

Mohammed called upon his servants to fight; Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world; if My kingdom were of this world, then would My servants fight . .but now is My kingdom not from here" (John 18:36)

Mohammed ordered death to the Jews (see A.Guillaume, The Life of Muhammad, Oxford University Press [1975], p. 369); Christ ordered that the gospel be preached "to the Jew first" (Romans 1:16).

The Koran says, "Fight in the cause of Allah" (Qu'ran 2.244); The Bible says, "we wrestle not against flesh and blood" and "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal" (Ephesians 6:12; 2 Corinthians
10:4).

The Koran says, "Fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them" (Qu'ran 9.5); Christ said, "Preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15).

The Koran says, "I will inspire terror into the hearts of unbelievers" (Qu'ran 8.12); God inspires His terror into the hearts of believers (Isaiah
8:13).

The Koran (Qu'ran) is a terrorist manual which condones fighting, conflict, terror, slaughter, and genocide against those who do not accept Islam; The Bible is a missionary manual to spread the gospel of peace to all the world (Romans 10:15).

Mohammed's Mission was to conquer the world for Allah; Christ's mission was to conquer sin's penalty and power by substitutionary atonement (2Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 3:18).

Mohammed considered Christ a good prophet; Christ pronounced Mohammed to be a false prophet (John 10:10; Matthew 24:11).

Mohammed claimed that there was but one God, Allah; Christ claimed that He was God (John 10:30-31; John 8:58-59; John 5:18; John
14:9).

Islam is geocentric, that is, the whole universe is centered on the Kaaba in the Grand mosque in Mecca in Arabia, and all Muslims pray facing that direction; Jesus Christ is the center of all Christian worship and fellowship, for He is "in the midst" where his saints meet anywhere on earth. (Matthew 18:20, John 4:22-23)

Mohammed's Tomb: OCCUPIED! Christ's tomb: EMPTY!

Islam must be received, or you can be killed for rejecting it:

The Faith offered by Jesus Christ is for "whosoever will" to receive, and all men are permitted to reject it. (Revelation 22:17, John 3:16)

Those who leave Islam are killed in most Islamic nations; Those who leave the true Church of Jesus Christ are allowed to do so with no revenge.

Now, is a Muslim submitted to Allah and Islam because he loves Allah? NO!

He dare not leave Islam, and he is loyal purely out of fear.

The true Bible believer is loyal to Jesus Christ purely out of love. 1John 4:18 There is a wide chasm between the God of Islam and the God of the Bible. One is cold and impersonal with no desire for intimacy with man, while the other is defined by His active desire for intimacy with people. There are 99 names given for Allah in the Koran, many of which describe him as beneficent and merciful. But there is not one name for Allah that reflects a desire for intimacy.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.

This concept is 100% alien to Islam-- There is no love in Islam-- Only fear and hate.

Islamic Fundamentalism, -they have attacked Christians in almost all the Arab and/or Muslim lands. Coptic Christians in Egypt are being systematically eliminated. Bahais in Iran are virtually gone. In Sudan the Christians and animists are being annihilated. Christian Lebanese have been massacred by Arafat&Mac197; Palestinians. Even Arab Christians in Bethlehem - and wherever Yassir Arafat has been given control - are being driven out or remain under siege by the Muslim population. Thousand are being persecuted and killed all over the world...we hear nothing... because we only care for ourselves... our economy... This will be gone soon... for who else but western civilization better represents the Babylonian entity referred to and destroyed in the end days

Muslims are also now at war in the Philippines, Indonesia, Algeria, France, India and wherever else in the world they build up to a critical mass to challenge their host government. They are far advanced in Europe and rapidly rising as a significant threat in America. The West, fearful of arousing the anger of the Arab oil nations, have yet to assemble their defenses or protest this clear and present danger.

In defiance of the American peoples wishes, when push comes to shove, the U.S. government manages to support a hostile, radical Islam and the Arabs in preference to assisting the Jewish State. I am pleased to see this presently is swinging back to support of Israel now that people are seeing the truth of Arab aggression and Arafat's lies. How long this will last? God knows!..

People must understand these dictatorial regimes have to 'deflect' the blame of their horrid state of Governmental failure, poverty, the depressed state of their economies -all their interior problems on someone... Why not Israel or us "the Great Satan" Not to say we are so perfect in Gods eyes either. They won't and will never blame their self-inflicted interior problems and failure on their own political and governmental shortcomings ... their solution to these problems lies in our destruction... Besides their Koran is clear... Convert them or ... KILL THEM.

The Moslems see with jealousy how the culture based on Christian mercy succeeds in gaining control over the world. Let everyone come and benefit from the cornucopia open to all, the American-Christian culture says; to everyone we proffer the other cheek, and even the whole body. Come and take your part in the wealth, come and enter the gates of the World Trade Center. We aren't conquering you with the sword, but with gold.

"Why are they bringing their wars here?" a soot-covered broker shouted into a CNN reporter's microphone. He didn't understand that he himself was engaged in conquering, not territories, but the opposing culture, straight from there - from the Twin Towers.

But every Moslem child understands it clearly. What the political commentators and senators in the US fail to realize is crystal clear to the other half of the world. America is not at war with a single individual- Bin Laden -or small Islamic extremist group- but with every child that will be born tomorrow in Cairo, Amman, Beirut, Gaza and, if he is a Moslem, even in New Jersey.

We saw and heard the banality of people so blinded by hate and religious self righteousness that they lack all compassion for fellow human beings. Then we saw the celebrationis in many Islamic centers -even in New Jersey- and their attempts to hide this delight from the world. Please read these Quotes from their "holy book" ... from The koran - "The Dinner Table"

[5.33] The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and his apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that THEY SHOULD BE MURDERED OR CRUCIFIED OR THEIR HANDS AND THEIR FEET SHOULD BE CUT OFF on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement,

[5.51] O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.

[5.75] The Messiah (Jesus), son of Marium (Mary) is but an apostle; apostles before him have indeed passed away; and his mother was a truthful woman; they both used to eat food. See how we (Allah) make the communications clear to them, then behold, how they are turned away.

The koran - "The assentions" [8.65] O Prophet! URGE THE BELIEVERS (Muslims) TO WAR; if there are twenty patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a hundred of you they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they are a people who do not understand.

The koran - "The cow"
[2.191] And KILL THEM (Christians and Jews) WHEREVER YOU FIND THEM, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the sacred mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; SUCH IS THE RECOMPENSE OF THE UNBELIEVERS (non-muslims who will not convert).

[2.193] And fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be ONLY for Allah, but if they desist (submit), then there should be no hostility except against the oppressors. The unholy koran - "The women"

[4.89] They (Christians and Jews) desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and KILL THEM wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper. The unholy koran - "The immunity"

[9.5] So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is forgiving, merciful.

[9.14] FIGHT THEM, ALLAH WILL PUNISH THEM BY YOUR HANDS and bring them to disgrace, and assist you against them and heal the hearts of a believing people.

[9.30] And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah (Jesus) is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; MAY ALLAH DESTROY THEM; how they are turned away!

Isn't it ironic that as the Bush Administration continues in its effort to "appease" the Arab nations, events continue to worsen weekly here in the United States.

We have weekly terror warnings, while we are becoming more obsessed daily with our protection. We hear our elected officials state weekly the nation's security is foremost in their minds. However, we know the only security we have comes through the Almighty Lord. As the United States continues to throw billions of dollars at national security in an attempt to make us feel more secure, we continue to come against the only One who could give us real security, and that is our Lord.

A Spiritual War

America is hardly a Christian nation in practice, but, despite what the ACLU would have us believe, it is a Christian nation in principle and was so intended by its Founders.

Our founding documents acknowledge America as a republic under God. America asked for [and was granted] the blessing of God.

The God of the Bible. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Joseph. The God of both Christian and Jew. Not Allah of the Koran.

Clearly, Allah is not the God Who endowed all men with equality, since Allah differentiates between Muslims and infidels and makes no pretense of suggesting political equality between the two.

America remains governed by those same Biblical principles contained in our Constitution. The source of those principles are crystal-clear to al-Qaeda, despite the denials of our own courts.

Thus, 'American' is the semantic equivalent to 'Christian or Jew' to our enemy. It is as much a war against God as it is against America and Israel.

Those nations are merely visible symbols of Islam's real, traditional enemy.

The god of Islam is Allah. Allah is not the God of the Christians and Jews. That will offend Muslims. Why is that?

If you, my Muslim friend, believe Allah is superior, then my differentiating between Allah and the God of the Jews just means I am following an inferior Deity. So what's the problem?

Instead, saying that offends Muslims because virtually everything offends Muslims. Being offended is not the same as being correct.

Allah's teachings contradict both the Old and New Testaments. God says of Himself "I change not".

If God and Allah are the same Deity, then which is correct? The Bible says Jesus is the Son of God.

The Koran says Jesus was a prophet. He was a wise man and a good teacher, but not the Son of God, since 'Allah had no son.'

"the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!" [The Immunity - Sura 9.30]

Jesus Christ taught that He was the Son of God, had all authority in both Heaven and earth, went to the Cross rather than deny His Sonship.

Prophet? Jesus said He is the Son of God, God come in the flesh, the Second Person in the Trinity. Islam denies all three. How can Jesus be a prophet of Allah while teaching doctrine contrary to Allah?

Wise man? He went to the Cross for a lie, if Islam is correct. Since Jesus knew He was not the King of the Jews, He could simply have told the truth and Pilate would have set Him free. Not the wisest move ever recorded.

Good teacher? Jesus taught that His kingdom was not of this world, and that it would have no end. He forgave sins, and taught that He would rise from the dead after three days. He said He personally would return to rule the earth.

If Allah had no Son, then Jesus wasn't Lord. But that would make Him a liar, since being a liar would disqualify Him as a prophet.

And since He went to the Cross for nothing, that effectively crushes Islamic arguments that favor His wisdom or the soundness of His teachings as the logic for denying His Deity.

The Allah of Islam is not the God of the Bible. The Allah of Islam is at war with the God of the Bible, both in Israel and now, in America. 'A house divided against itself cannot stand'.

Our enemy is more than just al-Qaeda, it is the spiritual philosophy behind al-Qaeda. To deny that is to deny an obvious, unassailable truth.

Islamic apologists claim that real Islam does not endorse suicide attacks. One can cite chapter and verse justifications for killing those who do not convert to Islam directly from the Koran.

Islam is a very demanding religion, requiring great material sacrifice on the part of its adherents.

So demanding is it, that it is hard to imagine someone submitting to its rigid requirements if they didn't believe in it.

Another popular argument offered is that the Bible also contains exhortations to war, especially in the Old Testament.

The Bible gives accounts of the wars of the Jews. That is not the same as making war an element of doctrine.

"The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement," [The Dinner Table, Sura 5.19]

The facts are these. The philosophy [or spirit, if you will] of Islam is at war with the philosophy [or Spirit] of Judeo-Christianity.

Not all Americans are Christians or Jews, but all are declared enemies of al-Qaeda. ALL of al-Qaeda is Muslim.

Is this, then, a logical syllogism that proves all Muslims are al-Qaeda? Of course not.

Does it prove that all Muslims are enemies of America? Not quite. But Muslims who are not enemies of Christians and Jews are not quite Islamist Muslims either, if one is to believe the Koran.

Instead it establishes a logical truth that is even more dangerous. There is no way to tell who is what.

Not until after it is too late.

The Good News

Remember the Lord didnât restrain 9-11 like He has so many other events in recent history; it was a wakeup call to the U.S. It woke up the sleeping and apathetic church for a moment; it has exposed the mainline churches who have spoken out against Israel; it drove many into American churches for answers; it has exposed radical Islam; it initiated the United States war on terror; and it has accelerated the U.S. peace efforts in the Middle East.

The good news, as always, is that God has everything under control. He is using Israel to bring His plan to completion and to draw millions more to His Son, Jesus Christ. How...

While America is not a Christian country, it is the standard-bearer of Western culture which draws from Christian culture. Why do the terrorists hate the US so much? Why are they prepared to commit suicide in order to kill Americans? After all, America has not conquered their country. On the contrary, many of them receive generous aid from the US. How strange that even Arabs in New Jersey, who are actually living in the fleshpots of America and were liable to have suffered physically from the terrorist attack, rejoiced at the sight of their horrible massacres.

The Europeans, as a matter of unrepentant guilt generated from past crimes against the Jewish people, only give lip service to the support of Israel but seem more dedicated to the fall of the Jewish State. Their actions through the European Union, the United Nations and as individual countries are most often hostile to Israel sovereignty and security. UN votes are almost unanimously against Israeli policy.. the tide has turned in world power. Time is Short..

Remember Also... The Muslims have a saying: "First the Saturday people; then the Sunday people".

And they are effectively "using" the "Sunday people" to do accomplish their will. They might soon have a friend in the Catholic church who is also siding with the Palestinians and trying to bring the world together under one world religion... Who will be the false profit... do not follow 'religion' in the days ahead... follow Christ/Bible and God... This is the only truth we will have in the 'Day of the Lord'...

Terrorism as a political means is evil... and We are testimony to them of the truth of their leader's evil, and are supporting evil work when we side with the enemy of Gods Holy Land...

Only the Pure in Heart
Yolanda Ballard
Nov 16, 2002

ONLY THE PURE IN HEART

Examine your heart to see if what you are living for is really of Me. For I want you to make sure your motives are pure in the things you are doing concerning the church. Do you want recognition, or do you just want to serve My people? Do you tend to want to please man, or is your main concern to please Me no matter what man says or thinks? For these are important issues you need to settle. Your heart must be pure for I don't even see your outward works. I see the motive of your heart, and I reward you or take away from you through chastisement.

Yes, I am your Father, but only those pure in heart can see Me. I allow you to go so far in childish ways to see if you will turn on your own, because you know what you are doing. But the seriousness of it is why do you feel that I don't know. Don't you know that you can't hide anything from Me? I see the motives and intents of your heart always. Man might look on the outward appearance, but I see the heart.

Why are you so quick to judge others by what they do? Love covers a multitude of sins and believes only the good. Unless you have reason to doubt the character of a person, always believe the best. Love rejoices in one who is blessed or when one is used mightily by Me. You are all My chosen vessels, and you all have a season of usefulness for Me. But you must be content in your time of waiting and preparation for no time is idle in Me. There is a purpose in everything you go through.

Seek Me in everything, and take My hand to lead you through My will. Develop a close relationship with Me. Yes, dwell with Me in the secret place. Do not continue to allow the enemy to get you so caught up in the affairs of life that you don't spend moments of quiet intimacy with Me. For this is the day and the hour where many will fall away and get caught up in the lies of the evil one to justify the works of the flesh. Seek the straight and narrow and cast off the traditions of man that rob My people of seeking My face and walking in My perfect will. For I am not in the man made structure and agenda of the church. And I am not in the programs that only draw attention away from Me. And I am not in the specials for all My children have a special calling and place in My heart and must be able to be free to worship Me without distraction or limitations.

For I am calling you to give your whole heart to Me. I am asking you for your full attention for I am ready to release unto you deeper revelation of My plans and purposes concerning worship and warfare, and you must be ready to receive. For this is the time and the hour I am calling My people higher. I am ready to release the heart of the worshipper to those who are willing to let go of what man thinks and aim totally at pleasing Me. I am ready to release travail through My people like never before. Are you ready to lose yourself in My presence and allow My heart cry to come forth?

I will release the captive spirits, those who are lost, as you worship Me. I am calling you to a place of high praise. Are you ready to seek My face alone, and allow My mighty river to flow through you? Come close and let Me anoint you and prepare you for My work for this is the hour, says your God. This is the hour of power and to be filled with My fire for My heart is heavy and ready to release the manifestation of grace and glory unknown to man. I am ready to draw in the multitudes. It all begins with you and the purity of the motives of your heart.

Folks to say there is more than one truth or that everyone has their own truth is not the answer but rather a dangerous untruth leading to the confusion and pluralistic soup we find ourselves today... There is only one truth, there can only be one truth... lets find it, shall we...

...our time is short.

Prophetic voice...

I saw a slate. On the slate was some kind of writing, indiscernible. And almost as quickly as the slate appeared, a hand swiped across it, clearing the writing from the slate. The vision was fleeting, lasting only 3 or 4 seconds. Then a knowledge filled me.....

The slate was the hearts of God's people. The writing was the sins and issues that bind and hinder His people from walking in His fullness. The Hand was God's, and the offer was this; To any one who will receive it, God is wiping clean the hearts of His people, now, quickly, in restoration for His END TIME works. It is a LAST offering of grace toward those who wish to repent and be cleansed and restored, made ready to withstand the judgment that is coming upon the earth. Those who reject it will find themselves outside. The door will be shut and locked. It will not be reopened to them. The circumstances of their decision will be their companion. It is the LAST such offer to those of this age.

' The dust of the earth will burn and be no more. But the clay that I fashion will be with Me forever.' Says the LORD.
