See? They’re just like us!

They have women, who also become mothers. Those mothers have children. And they have dreams for those children. And then their children, and our children all die in a terribly firey blast. Identical don’t you see?

For the first time in my adult life, I am ashamed of my country.

Gene, when I have point out that Muslim theology places greater value on death than on life I am called nasty names. Life is seen as a punishment, something to get through in order to attain the vast rewards of death. The only other religion that has this premise is Satan Worship. Christianity holds the rewards of Heaven as the gift of having led a good life, doing good, building for future generations. Islam? Not so much.

Life is seen as a punishment

Life in a Muslim society is punishment.

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Christianity holds the rewards of Heaven as the gift of having led a good life, doing good, building for future generations.

Please allow me to offer a well meaning correction to the above:

Christianity holds rewards for heaven for those that by faith accept Jesus as their Savior and Lord, not by works of any kind. If Mother Thersa gained Heaven at her death, not one good thing she did in Calcutta or elsewhere in the world gained her entrance there. These things (good works) bear their own heavenly rewards, some here and some through eternity; but not one soul, not one ever, has or can gain Heaven by the deeds they have done in the body nor kept out by any bad deeds, that is contrary to Salvation by faith. The man (human being) that accepts God’s means of salvation by grace (God’s unmerited favor/gift) shall be saved and there is no other way.

No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

Sorry, Nman. I’ll cut my deal with the Man when I stand in front of Him. And accept His word. Not Islam’s.

I was talking about Christianity, not Islam, I don’t accept their word either and it is salvation by works.

Unfortunately, if a person does not accept God’s Plan of Salvation which is by grace alone, through faith in Christ alone; after death there is no deal cutting, it has to be settled on this side of that veil of death. It is so simple, no need to qualify, nothing to do, God did it all, just accept what He did for us and we are saved.

IF anyone crosses into eternity without having accepted Christ first, they enter conscious into eternal darkness, they know they were wrong, they know they deserve to be where they are and they know there is no escape forever. Worse, on Judgment Day they will face God, see the glory of Heaven, witness the depth of the Love of God and they will take that image with them burned in their soul while they suffer eternally.

I remember in Faust, the lead character is faced with Mephistopheles (a familiar spirit of Satan), he relates the glory of Heaven with the passion of a poet and in the end he says to Faust (Loose Paraphrase) “Do you know what hell is like Faust? It is having been there (in Heaven) and know you can never be there again, that is hell!”

The reality of hell and the glory of Heaven which is the Glory of God, is why Christians feel such a deep passion not to keep Christ to themselves and want to help as many human beings as possible find Salvation.
