“To them, Jesus of Nazareth was not God, but only a prophet”
That’s what I thought until Priest Mari, the one who was attacked recently, pointed to their “Bible”, showed the print, and it goes word for word, Jesus the Messiah. Which I was shocked to see. The fact that Muslims call Jesus a prophet goes directly against what’s written in their own Koran or “Bible”.
But as you said, Muslims are confused about their beliefs.
Agreed. Posted that, somewhere up higher, off of Angrydwarfpaladin’s link. Kinda gotten buried so many have posted. I’ll paste it again.
“For example, an Arab Christian may still use the word “Allah” to denote God, but his understanding of that term would be starkly different from a Muslim, for the Christian would recognize that Jesus Christ is God (Allah) whereas the Muslim would never consider that connotation. Thus, denotatively the word “allah” merely refers to “god,”
So yea, I agree with that.
I watched some of it. I’ll admit that I’m very unfamiliar with Greek gods and the such. But I get, from reading the comments, how the video shows the overlapping beliefs of Greek and Judaism. It’s a bit over my head overall. As one commenter said, “Might be a good topic for a scholarly round table”
I don't doubt it, I’ve heard God has many names. “YHWH means “I am”, Jehovah means “My Lord”, El Shaddai means “My God”, El Roi “The God who Sees Me”, El Elyon “God Most High”, Adonai “The LORD” Then of course there’s Jesus Christ. And more into the relationship names of Father, Heavenly Father, Savior, Creator. My Love, my friend.
From your link.

Interesting enough. The priest Mari, most know now as the one who was attacked recently, showed in the Islamic Bible the name of Jesus, as the Messiah. Literally word for word “Jesus the Messiah”. So, for me, this was a shocker. My view is no Muslim wound see Jesus this way, yet it’s right there in their “Bible”. I guess similar to Christianity, there are some various differences in beliefs?
Wikipedia.
“Allah has been used as a term for God by Muslims (both Arab and non-Arab), Judaeo-Arabic-speaking Jews, and Arab Christians“
Oxford reference
“ The name of God among Muslims (and Arab Christians). The name comes from Arabic 'allāh, contraction of al-'ilāh ‘the god’.

I can keep going if you like?
Trump is a heck of a businessman. And I honestly feel he does want America and all Americans to be successful. So if he thinks TikTok is 👍👍, that’s good enough for me. I still don’t use it tho, but I don’t bash it.
I like Bannon but I don’t think someone like Trump could be bought. He can be negotiated with, but never a sell out. My opinion.
So what explains Trump advocating for TikTok now? I though I had remembered Trump wanted to ban that app as well. For more young people votes? Anything to hurt Biden? Trump isn’t coming directly out and advertising for TikTok, but for something he previously wanted to get rid of, seems floppy floppy. Could be used against him.
I’ve listened more of that priest Mari recently and came across his video of Muslims and Islamic faith. From what he has said, and shown in their “Bible”. Jesus is there. And not as an prophet as I’ve been told. It actually says Jesus the Messiah. He made a few things clearer for me. Just like Christian’s…we don’t all agree on what’s written in the Bible. Between Baptist, Assembly of God, Jehovah’s Witness,etc, there are various differences. Well, apparently the Muslims are like this as well. Jesus is the same in their Koran or whatever it called, as our Bible. The messiah. The Son of God. So all Muslims don’t agree on who is what, yet we just kind of sum up all Muslims as the exact same beliefs. And that’s apparently incorrect. So I’m not sure all Muslims hate Jesus. Or see Him, Jesus, as anything different that I do. It’s interesting. They do have that Muhammad guy…and he’s dead in his grave somewhere.
Now that’s a sad but true statement right there. Why would you wave another nations flag? I mean..it’s American money, from Americans. At least wave the American flag as a victory for your support? Pretty sure when the American men stormed Germany, they weren’t waving British flags for victory. We supported, we represented. Such a hive mind society today.
That’s a sick individual. People will say “it was a cry for help”….well this guy screams it! Look what the world, Satan can do to you. It’s crazy. So many people need help. Pisses me off America doesn’t recognize mental illnesses. Instead it’s looked at as “I was born this way”. Ridiculous.
We are all, in a way, products of this world. Our minds, our eyes, ears and tongue. But keep your heart clean friends. Jesus should reign in your heart. Do that, and try to keep that tongue under control. It can build or destroy. Something so small. Like a little rudder to a massive ship, headed into a bridge. If not for that rudder (the tongue), the ship would’ve been useless.
His wife says he had a big heart and cared deeply about taking care of others…..
…guess not for we non vaccinated. Or maybe he cared so much he hated us? If that’s a thing. Lord we do this to ourselves. Satan derived I’m sure. But we poison ourselves with the food we eat and the water we drink. Our medicine has become a massive question mark, because there are people bent on killing or injuring those who require it. I’m sorry for how we are Lord. I mentioned recently about my own issues how “God created me, but the world shaped me”. I hate this statement. I don’t want to be a weapon for the enemy ever again. Let us be more like you and less like ourselves. All prayers in your name Jesus. Amen.
I hate this for his family. I’m sure he was loved.
Just fyi, many keep posting this as in reference to children only. As Jesus said this line while holding a small child. Understand, “little ones” doesn’t mean just children. Jesus referenced his disciples as little ones also. The bottom line is, anyone who is a Christ follower is considered a “little one”. God’s children. Christians.
Interestingly enough this is the second time I’ve mentioned this today. When we cheer and laugh and applaud the death and torture of “our enemies”, they could still be a Christian. Sin is sin. There is no such thing as a big or little sin. It’s all equal. So when we do this remember, you could be advocating for the death and torture of a Christian. A “little one”.
Shall we go pick out our millstones together?
Depends on if they are asking for forgiveness and are a follower of Christ.
Personally I would have died that day. And my family with me. No question. Perhaps I could’ve tried fighting back, don’t know the scenario. But I’m not doing that to a child or anyone. Kill me. Send me home.
Yep. Ty for the video. At least one guy exchanged mags. And then showed a severe muscle memory mistake…he collects his magazine in the exchange. Have you ever been to a combat pistol training course? If you ever, EVER, try to collect your magazine in any fashion during or preceding an engagement, prepare to get singled out and yelled at. You are to never, collect or “save” your magazine in any form or fashion. You can collect those later..and always, ALWAYS off the ground. This create the correct hustle memory. Even target practice at home…msg drops to the ground, always. So as I’ve said, untrained, or even worse, trained poorly.
The video I was shown were the cops out in LA or somewhere over there. Where the two guys were completely body armored up. Killed several police officers. And the worse image on the video is the police officer collecting his empty shell casing off the ground after emptying his gun. Why would he do that? Because that what he was supposed to do at the police facility shooting arena. They are made to collect their shell casings, or face punishment. And that got him killed that day. Armored guy walked right around the vehicle and shot him. Muscle memory is all you have in those incidents. And, just like this officer, he has a bad habit. So Ty for posting. It’s another example to show others what NOT to do.
Every sin is the same in God’s eyes. Like a gardener…which weeds are good or bad weeds? They are all bad. ALL sin is equal in the eyes of God. It isn’t to you or me, but you and me don’t matter. All sin is equal. Your sin is as bad as the worse pedo’s sin to God. If that upsets you, your not displeased with me, your displeased with God. So when you stand before God, understand, if you don’t have Jesus as your advocate, your sin will be as bad as any child murderers or pedo or whomever. And you will suffer what a sinner is due. An eternity in a sinners Hell.
Jesus took your sin. My sin. A pedo’s sin upon that cross. Otherwise none of us would have a chance. God does not look upon sin, as it’s all the same. There are no big sins or little. All equal. Just as that hate is in your heart. To God it’s the same as murder. I’ve murdered thousands of times in the eyes of God. Without Jesus I would be so done. As would we all.
Very interesting.
“ The bill requires teachers and staff who wish to be armed in school to first receive permission from the school’s superintendent and principal.”
Hmm. Could be some issues here.
“It also requires teachers and staff to complete training in school policing, undergo a background check, and have a psychological examination.”
I should get first hand info on this soon enough. One of my children is a teacher here in Tennessee. I know what teachers do already, we’ll the ones at their school. It will definitely open up more conversations and possibly problems for many Tennessee school districts. Good stuff tho.
