Bible student you are a nice person so I just dropped in for ye.
You should stop compromising over issues that are clear falsehood.
Compromising over who is God, the nature of God and praying in a place of worship dedicated to His Creation is foolishness.
You see the big 'not so secret' is that they need us to be the bad guys so that they can support and continue to push for war on Muslim lands and populations.
Hence the continued misrepresentation of our beliefs, values and intentions.
Their intentions and their immoral means to supposedly moral ends will be apparent on the Day of Judgement.
These are the faux religious or immoral types of all faiths.
Peace for those who want peace is important. They are our brothers and sisters in humanity.
Likewise justice for those who seek justice no matter who they are.
We will work with and pursue friendship with those who value peace.
Whatever faith they are.
“O People of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allaah aught but the truth. The Messiah ‘Eesa (Jesus) son of Maryam (Mary) was (no more than) a Messenger of Allaah and His Word (‘Be!’ – and he was), which He bestowed on Maryam, and a spirit created by Him; so believe in Allaah and His Messengers. Say not: ‘Three (trinity)!’ Cease! (it is) better for you. For Allaah is (the only) One (God). Glory be to Him (Far Exalted is He) above having a son.To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allaah is All-Sufficient as a Disposer of Affairs.”
[al-Nisa’ 4:171]
“Beautified is the life of this world for those who disbelieve, and they mock at those who believe. But those who obey Allaah’s Orders and keep away from what He has forbidden, will be above them on the Day of Resurrection. And Allaah gives (of His bounty on the Day of Resurrection) to whom He wills without limit.”
[al-Baqarah 2:212]
( If they think that the light of Islam will be extinguished, then they are living in a world of illusions. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“They (the disbelievers) want to extinguish Allaah’s Light with their mouths, but Allaah will not allow except that His Light should be perfected even though the disbelievers hate (it).”
[al-Tawbah 9:32]
Thank you DesertRose. Indeed there should be no compromise with the truth. I don't believe that I have done this, at least not to my knowledge (but God knows best).
God does not require houses to be built for Him, because He lives in the hearts and minds of all people who invite Him in, to come and live in and with them. The Temple that Solomon bin David was allowed to build for God's Name, was the one single and only exception, because God decided to allow it, on the condition that Israel would from then on be obedient to God and keep the Covenant. But, because of the children of Israel's continual disobedience, God had it demolished. Then after the rebuilding of the house (the second temple) and God sending Christ Jesus, He (God) had it demolished again (so God has already had it demolished twice) and it is no longer needed.
So, the people over there who now want to erect a third temple on the mount, are being foolish in the extreme.
In any case, it was not the actual house (or temple) that was important, it is the place itself (Mt. Moriah). The temple that Solomon was allowed to build there, was only built to mark the spot, the "Holy of Holies" (the holiest spot on Earth, where Abraham went and became the "friend of God" because he believed ONLY God) and it is Mt. Moriah in Jerusalem.
Excerpts from: "
The Way home or face The Fire - By
JAH"
Chapter 9 -
9:54 Later, the shepherd boy, king David, asked God if he could build a house, for God to live in. He
was answered, “Am I a man, that I need a house to live in?” I am God and I need no house. I live in
the heart and mind, of every man that invites Me
in to live
with him, so
I can teach him how to be
good (like God).
9:55 However, because king “David” had been God’s “well-beloved” servant, God decided to allow
David’s son, Solomon, to build Him a house (temple), on
Mt. MORIAH, where Abraham had taken
Isaac, to offer him as a sacrifice to God, centuries before.
9:56 That temple, or church, is the
ONLY one that God has
EVER given man permission to build,
and it is Satan and his priests (who blasphemously
claim to work for God) who have built
ALL the
others, of
EVERY denomination (Matt. 6:5-6)(Sura 7:55 & 9:107-109). God does
not want a house
to live in, He
wants to live in
your hearts and minds, as a welcome guest, to teach
you how to be
like Him - good.
Chapter 11 -
11:48 With organized-religions in between, like a wall, you will
NEVER get to have a personal-
relationship with God, and get to
KNOW and love Him, as the wonderful and loving person that He
is, and also be able to feel His love surrounding you, and protecting you from evil.
11:49 You do not need synagogues/churches/mosques, etc.; every human+being is a church.
Churches (buildings) were only built, as a place of shelter, from the sun, or the rain, etc., or from
screaming children, so that you could go, and be at peace, and be able to concentrate on talking to
God, and on listening for His telepathic reply.
11:50 Just look at them now, with locks on the doors, and full of idols and gold, etc. If the church is
REALLY God’s House,
WHO has the
RIGHT to lock the door, and say that you can not go in,
except for one hour, on a certain day?
11:51 You
HAVE TO talk to God telepathically,
ALL the time, wherever you are, and
YOUR
church (
you) should be open to Him 24 hours a day.
11:52 If someone feels that they need a church-building, to talk to God, and they are distressed in the
middle of the night, in the middle of the week; who has the right to lock them out?
NO-ONE; that is
who.
11:53 The silly priests say that people will steal their silly idols, and worldly treasures, if they don’t
lock the doors.
11:54 There should be absolutely nothing in a church worth stealing, and, if there is, it should be
sold, and the money given to the poor, or used, to heat the church, in cold climates, so that a church
feels warm and welcoming, just like God. Instead of which, they feel cold, uncomfortable and
forbidding, like Satan.
God is the God of the living; not of the dead.
11:55 Catholic churches are full of idols, and graven-images, teaching the breaking of the
COMMANDMENTS:- You shall
NOT make a graven-image, of
ANYTHING in heaven or on
Earth, or under the sea. You shall not worship idols and graven-images.
11:56 They also have statues of Mary’s body, and
BLASPHEME, by saying that she is “the holy
mother of God”. Christ himself, said that Mary was NOT his mother (Matt. 12:47-50 & Mark 3:31-
35 & Luke 8:19-21). Mary was
no-one special (Luke 11:27-28), except that she was a good mother,
and had good qualities, that God wanted Jesus to learn, to help prepare him for His work.
11:57 The Roman Catholics also bow down to graven-images of the “son of Mary”, which was only
a human-animal that I
used, and was
NOT me, and worship it as God. Jesus himself said that people
MUST NOT worship him, but
JUST worship
ONLY GOD (Matt. 19:16-17 & Mark 10:17-18).
How can you all be so dis-obedient, and stupid, when you are ALL under the death-sentence, and
your time is running-out (John 3:18 & 5:24)?
11:58 All the Prophets have spoken
directly to God, and have done His Will, and have been against
religions, and have lived apart with God.
11:59 This does not mean living in a monastery, or commune, it just means getting away from
religions. Hiding from temptation, in a monastery, will do you
no good, because you have to
face
temptation, and
overcome it (to win favour with God, by facing temptation and overcoming it -
James 1:2-4. You are, thereby, also setting a good example, to others, and can help the weaker ones
to overcome
their temptations, by giving them moral [spiritual] support - Sura 57:27).
11:60
Hiding in a commune, or monastery, is the
cowards’ way out, but they are only cheating
themselves, because the more temptation you
overcome, the nearer you get to going home (James
1:2-4).
11:61 Avoiding temptation is wasting what precious little time you have left, and is like running-on-
the-spot, on a conveyor-belt rolling towards The Fire, where you are going nowhere fast, except The
Fire.
11:62 These communes only create fear, and do more harm than good, for the former reason, and the
following ones.
11:63 The bigger they become, the greater the number of people that are wasting their time, and,
because people without faith always fear what they do not understand, public-opinion is set against
them. If they become
really big, the people outside get
frightened, and eventually they will attack it.
Religious wars start in the same way (John 16:2).
11:64 These people should go home, to teach their families, and
fight for God. Jesus said that he
came, not to bring peace, but a sword (the Word of Truth - Heb. 4:12), and that a man’s enemies
would be the members of his own household (Luke 12:51-53). This is because they will be used by
Satan, to try to pull you away from your belief (Micah 7:6). If they
don’t, then you are
not doing it
right, because Jesus has told you, it
WILL happen,
IF you
ARE doing it right (Matthew 10:34-40).
11:65 Don’t run away and
HIDE in communes. Get on home, and
fight to convince the people that
love you, that they are
wrong (love your enemies).
JAH is the only person on earth Who is able to unite all of the three major religions into a single brotherhood.
