ISIL: Testing Ground for the Coming of the Anti-Christ

Image
U.S. Navy, Public Domain The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ( ISIL ) and other extreme Muslim groups are the testing ground for the coming of the Anti-Christ.  It is astonishing how for months on end, the news media, mainly Christian news media, has been reporting on the autocracies these groups have been waging against millions of innocent people, and no one raised a concern, until recently.   ISIL and groups like Boko Haram have been bombing churches, dismembering and burning people by the thousands and no government anywhere expressed concern.  But not only governments, the collective whole of humanity has been extremely passive.  Instead the world was more concern with Israel bombing Palestine, than the millions of Christians displaced and massacred in Iraq. Other signs that the Anti-Christ is getting ready for a massive attack is the reaction of the mainstream media.  It is a known fact that ISIL's aim are the Christians.  Yet, secula...

Constantine Did Not Change the Bible

Contrary to popular belief by naysayers of the Bible, Constantine did not change the Bible.  As a matter of fact the message has been the same, and has remained unchanged since it was originally inspired.  Many other faiths such as Islam are working on assumptions that it was changed not only by the Roman emperor but by everyone else.  Here is why I do not believe the Bible is changed as many unbelievers claim that is is. If the Bible had been changed by the emperor's bishops,  the Bible would be full of praise for the emperor. No secular leader can resist the temptation to toot his own horn.  In our modern times we see this all the time--politicians shameless self-promoting. And as having absolute power, Cesar would have easily commanded the clergy to add all of his praises and even go so far as to have the Bible declare that he was a god.  But when you read the Bible, there is no text that magnifies Cesar or his government.  Instead Jesus categori...

Christians Are Not at War with Islam

It is hard to believe that Christians are not at war with Muslims.  But it is true.  Muslims may not want to believe it but who can blame them?  One of the firsts encounters with Islam were the Crusades.  Then in the 20th century, the West went on bombardment campaigns through the Muslim world.  It is hard to forget Desert Storm, Shock and Awe, and Palestinian raids by American supported Israel.  The violence has been heartbreaking.  First of all Jesus Christ would have never approved of these campaigns.  He laid out loud and clear teachings against violence.  Christ said that we should love our enemies and pray for them.  He told us to love others more than our selves.  Christ said that hating our brother was like killing him and we should not do that. Muslims may believe that it was Christians who have attacked these lands because they believe that our leaders are professed Christians.  But they are not.  What o...
