Ancient Mummies Come to Life

Public Domain, "Rest on the Flight into Egypt", Luc-Olivier Merson, 1880

Egyptians were not Arab. Thousands of years before the advent of Islam, the original Egyptians were African. As we hear cries of revolution in Egypt, I get an eerie sense that it is Egypt’s ancient past which is crying for freedom. For hundreds of years Islam and the Arab culture has dominated Egypt. The Arab culture has dominated the land so much that modern day Egyptians actually look more Arab than Egyptian.

There was a time when Alexandria was the hub of knowledge. There was a time when Egypt welcomed the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, when he was a baby. Christians are not welcomed anymore. Just a few months ago a bomb was sent off that killed over a dozen Coptic Christians in front of their Church. Extremists have always oppressed minority groups in the land of the Pharaohs. During the swine flu epidemic thousands of pigs were slaughtered by Egyptian authorities because they ignorantly believed that the virus was spread by pigs.

I can’t help to think that in addition to rampant unemployment, the youth of Egypt are fed up with the oppressive system which has existed for the past three decades. The youth of Egypt are sick and tired of having an Egypt mired in ignorance and intolerance. May Mubarak get lost and hopefully Egypt becomes the great beacon of scholarship it was known for.

Radical Islam Unites Christians Attacks against Christians by radical Islamists across the globe is having unintended consequences. Christians of different denominations are uniting to raise awareness about the violent nature and deception of Islam. Held in Downers Grove, IL the conference The Persecuted Church: Christian Believers in Peril in the Mid dle East is one of many assemblies happening throughout the United States. On March 12, 2011 speakers from many Christian sects gathered in front of over 300 attendees to speak about their experiences and to discuss strategies to stop the Islamic onslaught. Speakers noted that in Islamic countries such as Egypt, the indigenous are killed because of their Christian faith in plain view and collaboration of the government. Attackers of St. George Church in Egypt fired away at Christians from behind army tanks. In Iraq, Julianna Taimoorazz stated that “No mercy is shown to children. Infants [are] broiled and presented to their mothers on a ...

Jesus Christ and Che Guevara

Public Domain, Che Guevara There is no denying that many special interest groups are spreading false perceptions of Christianity. One that is very notable is done by the socialists/communists. One of the biggest idols of socialism is Che Guevara. He is idolized by many people frustrated with how capitalism exploits the poor. If you ever go to a protest you will see Che's mug on t-shirts or banners. One would think it was as if we were viewing a photograph of Jesus Christ. But it is not. And that is what the socialists want the public to believe in an attempt to win converts for their revolutionary cause. They often say, Jesus Christ was a revolutionary, just like Che! This of course is totally false. Jesus Christ and Che Guevara are complete opposites. Jesus did cause a revolution, but it was a spiritual revolution. Jesus Christ's mission was never meant to be political. Che, who was a doctor, was so incense about fighting for the rights of the poor that he felt ki...

Muslims and Christians DO NOT Believe in the Same God!

"Trinity"  Coecke Van Aelst, 1502.  Public Domain Muslims and Christians do not worship the same god.  In many interfaith circles that is the common denominator, supporters in this belief always say, “We believe in the same god.”  But the truth is that the God we worship as Christians, is not the same god Muslims or any other group worships. The Christian God Is All-Loving He commanded us through His Son Jesus Christ to love and pray for our enemies. He also said to love our neighbors just as ourselves. This is a radical departure from most faiths that believe the opposite. Other faiths teach that we have a duty for self-defense and even kill other people who are trying to hurt us.  Jesus said, “If someone slaps you, turn the other cheek.  If someone wants your coat, give it to him.”  This is a very hard thing for humans to do.  It is so much easier to hate, fight back, swallow our pride than to love and forgive. The Christian...
