Question #1

| Back To Top |

Are the Judaics really trying to take over the world?  It is so-called AntiSemitic to even dare utter it?

 

A reader writes:

Thanks for that kosher story. With my few experiences
with hasidic and ultra-orthodox Jews, I am not
surprised. They often follow the letter but not the
spirit of the Law. Sometimes I think you might be
right on a certain level about the Jews: not that they
are trying to take over the world - I still don't quite
believe that - but that they are under God's wrath for
rejecting Jesus. I can't imagine a true Christian
butcher doing that [the writer speaks of the cruel and inhumane manner of the Jew's Kosher Slaughter of livestock (see Article & Video)].

On a separate subject, I have been doing a lot of
reading of the New Testament.  Recently I have been
listening to a radio station called "Family Radio"
with a guy named Harold Camping. I was wondering
whether you knew of him and what your thoughts were?
I'm asking you because you seem like a person who
tells it like it is without pulling any punches.

Thanks for your insight.


Answer:

Hello, you asked about Harold Camping.  I have no opinion on him or his work as I have not studied it.  But I have heard of him.

Secondly, and more importantly, you stated:

"Sometimes I think you might be right on a certain level about the Jews: not that they are trying to take over the world - I still don't quite believe that"

     Ummmm....excuse me; "Trying" to take over the world?  What part of it don't they already control and influence?  Don't say banking, don't say media, don't say pharmaceuticals or the insurance industry, don't say politics, don't say Christian churches and denominations, don't say governments, don't say the U.N., don't say intelligence services, don't say the courts, lawyers, and judges, don't say public opinion, don't say core-curriculum from k-12 and on into the universities, don't say the Feminist and Homosexual movements, don't say the storm of new "Hate Crime," "Hate Speech," "Hate Thought," bills being passed simultaneously in EVERY once-free Christian Western Nation, and don't say your (and the rest of the masses) inability to see the clear writing on the wall, etc.

You get the point.

They already control the world, they just haven't completing having it do what they shall make it doimplode.

Out of chaos, order

and,

Destroy everything; everything that is, is wrong.

―(Judaic controlled from the top) Illuminati sayings.

  But you can't see conspiracy in that, can you?  You probably do not even believe that there is such a thing as the Illuminati, do you?  Why?  because you have been brainwashed to reject any mention of anything like a millennia-old conspiracy to destroy God's ordered world and rear-up in her place, a satanic utopia.  Though every Bible tells you so.

     Well, the good news, for you, is that you will shortly see that all of the above is true; the bad news, for you, is that it will spell your end.

Peace.

     May I close this letter with an un-edited (not a final draft) section from my upcoming book?  It is nowhere near ready for release, but I feel that, even in its imperfect form, the below excerpt may help shock you (and others) into reality.

 

Excerpt from (the yet unreleased) The Coming Storm..., by Nick Goggin ©:


...Now, why that should alarm you is this: the Jews believe that they are the Messiah, these Jews have read the Old Testament prophecies about what wrath God shall unleash upon the idolaters and the blasphemous when Messiah fully comes (Christians know this as the 2nd Advent).  Problem is, the Jews think Christians to be blasphemers and idolatrous, thus it is we that they shall deal with!  For all the unreligious in the endtimes shall convert to antichrist’s new religion.  They will won’t pose a problem to antichrist and his minions, they will not die for something that they do not even believe in―but Christians have and will die for Christ Jesus, both Lord and God.

     These Jews are in control of this world today, they have all the power, money, and might.  Christians do not stand to fare so well when the Jews make their final leap to their supposed “godhood.”  Satan has blinded them into believing that he (satan) is God, and that they (Jews) are his godlike chosen people.  They will do whatever satan tells them to do to the endtime Christians.  It would be a gross understatement to say that this is all gearing up to be the greatest persecution this world has ever endured.  And you, dear Christian friend, are their target.  Let’s read along with Elizabeth Dilling (a Christian Talmud scholar/exposer) to document some of my points:

Jewish Author Israel Shahak states

 

“Judaism is imbued with a very deep hatred towards Christianity. . .  The very name ‘Jesus’ was for Jews a symbol of all that is abominable, and this popular tradition still exists

     The Gospels are equally detested, and they are not allowed to be quoted even in modern Israeli Jewish schools.  Christianity as a religion is classed by rabbinical teaching as idolatry.  All Christian emblems and pictorial representations are regarded as ‘idols.’  The attitude of Judaism towards Islam is, in contrast, relatively mild.”

 

Israel Shahak, Jewish History, Jewish Religion: The Weight of Three Thousand Years, Pluto Press, London, 1994, p. 97-98.

“To many Christians, Judaism is a monotheistic religion, based on belief in one Supreme Being and adherence to the Old Testament, with the Messiah still to come. This is not so.   The untutored Gentile has been led to believe that adherents of the Jewish religion are simply believers in the Old Testament who are still awaiting their promised Messiah.  However, in Judaism that Messiah is already here, and it is the “Jewish people” themselves.  For example, the Jewish Talmud, Kethuboth, 111a, states: “The Messiah [is] without metaphor the Jewish people.” The Jewish Religion: Its Influence Today  by Elizabeth Dilling, chapter VI. “JUDAISM NOT MONOTHEISTIC,” pg.31.

 

     We must make mention of the differing (or missing) quotes from the Jewish Babylonian Talmud and Zohar (Kabbala): The disparaging comments regarding non-Jews are expurgated (removed, edited-out, censored, hidden) from various editions of the Talmud. They are, however, found in the Soncino English translation of 1935 [unavailable - surprise, surprise!]. (Some of these pages have been reproduced in The Plot Against Christianity).  Where they have been expunged, one can find an “o” indicating “oral tradition,” which means they are still taught. Like it or not, Orthodox Judaism fervently teaches ultimate supremacy over “the nations,” i.e., Gentiles, whom it pronounces as inferior creatures.

One such “expurgated” quote from the Jewish Talmud, which has a lot to do with you, the endtime Christian, is the below; where we see what antichrist’s deluded minions have in mind for us:

“When the Messiah comes every Jew will have 2800 slaves.” ― Simeon Haddarsen, fol. 56-D

     How nice, 2800 slaves for every antichrist Jew; talk about superiority delusions!    This is the Jewish religious idea of eternal bliss.  If they were to have it their way, we would spend the eternity being slaves for those who run around today calling themselves “Jews.”  But alas, there is a problem for the endtime Jew (other than the obvious when Jesus Christ returns at His Second Advent); the Jews have this whole carnal eternity planned where they entertain delusions of grandeur for themselves, and servitude or death to all other races of man. 

     But these deluded people, because they reject and won’t read the New Testament; don’t even realize that in the book of Revelation, the antichrist, the Jew’s messiah, whom they help into power; shall turn on them, and kill them (Rev 17:16-17).  DOH!  Sorry, but while I don’t gloat over their prophesied fate, because the Bible says that we should not rejoice over the calamity of our enemies, I honestly just can’t find pity in my heart for them.  My eyes are wide open to what they have already done to us; and by Scripture, and their own writings, I know what they have in store for us at the end. 

     Remember this day; today; while you are still safe and the world hasn’t yet gone mad―for you will soon long for a day such as this, no mater what life’s problems you may be having now.  In the first forty-two months of the Tribulation you are going to experience first-hand the insanity and vileness that is the Jewish mind: fully empowered, limitless, unstoppable; in the last five months of the Tribulation you shall experience the depths that satan’s mind is capable of. 

     Regarding the endtime Jews (who the Judeo-Christians have been deluded into thinking shall find Christianity during the Tribulation, convert, and become saved in Christ Jesus):  God has antichrist (satan) do to the Jews, what the Jews endeavored to do to God’s chosen people (Christians) during the Tribulation.  By the time antichrist (satan) kills his Jews, they will have had much Christian blood on their hands.  Then they meet God, whom they denied and had attempted to usurp, for a little quality time―one on one.

     But anyway, there is a problem with the above quote.  The plot thickens:  Many Christians discover that when they try to find Simeon Haddarsen, fol. 56-D, they cannot.  It has “mysteriously” vanished.  The Jewish apologists (excuse makers) use this inability to locate this ancient Talmudic writing to claim that it is spurious, i.e., made-up by big bad nasty AntiSemites (Christians who Jews falsely accuse of lying―as though Christians apparently have nothing better to do than to make up lies about the so-called “God’s chosen people”).

     However, as always, our Lord, the only God, is good in that He ensures that antichrists shall be identified at every turn.  And no doubt He hasn’t forgotten that the Jews had Jesus Christ murdered by their bearing of false witness against Him (Mt 26:59, Mk 14:56, etc.).  In the below portion of the Talmud, we see another statement, which has not (yet―by the 1961 edition) been expunged; and is still available to the researcher).  In the “chapter” (section, book) of the Talmud called Tractate Shabbath, Folio 32a, we find the below Talmudic parallel-reading to the above When the Messiah comes every Jew will have 2800 slaves” passage: 

“Resh Lakish said: He who is observant of fringes will be privileged to be served by two thousand eight hundred slaves, for it is said, Thus saith the Lord of hosts: In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold, out of all the languages of the nations shall even take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, etc.” Babylonian Talmud: “Tractate Shabbath,” Folio 32a 2.

Notes:
#1  For how number of 2800 slaves was arrived at:  Resh Lakish is commenting on Zechariah 8:23, ‘Skirt’ is regarded as referring to the fringe (cf. n. 2.). There are four fringes, and traditionally there are seventy languages [and we have the “ten men” from the above]: we thus have 70 X 10 X 4 = 2800.

#2  Mas. Shabbath 31b, the usual reference for this Talmud passage, is inaccurate (it is not 31b, but rather it is 32a).  Small issue?  Perhaps, but poor scholarship and research like this mistaken attribution, causes Christian research to suffer.  Or, perhaps Kenites have introduced partial truths and errant citations into the Internet to frustrate accurate quoting of writings of theirs which expose them?  For if one where to do an Internet search for “Mas. Shabbath 31b” they would not come-up with this excerpt; then a Jewish apologist may be able to tell then that the quote is a lie and is not in the Talmud.  That is why it is so important to cite accurate source data at all times.  The Jewish mind is like a Lawyer’s mind (no surprise there, they dominate the Profession, always have) in that: it is not truth that matters, but only that which can be debated and spun successfully to bring about the desired outcome, and the truth be damned.

As one Jew explains to another Jew:

“The Jewish people as a whole will be its own Messiah. It will attain world dominion by the dissolution of other races, by the abolition of frontiers, the annihilation of monarchy, and by the establishment of a world republic in which the Jews will everywhere exercise the privilege of citizenship. In this new world order the Children of Israel will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition. The Governments of the different peoples forming the world republic will fall without difficulty into the hands of the Jews. It will then be possible for the Jewish rulers to abolish private property, and everywhere to make use of the resources of the state. Thus will the promise of the Talmud be fulfilled, in which is said that when the Messianic time is come the Jews will have all the property of the whole world in their hands.” ― Baruch Levy [Judaic], Letter to Karl Marx [also Jewish], La Revue de Paris, p. 54, June 1, 1928.
 

“Only recently our race has given the world a new prophet, but he has two faces and bears two names; on the one side his name is Rothschild [Judaic], leader of all capitalists, and on the other Karl Marx [Judaic], the apostle of those who want to destroy the other.” ― Blumenthal [Judaic], Judisk Tidskrift, No. 57, Sweeden, 1929.

 

“Communism is the destiny of mankind.  There is one work on sociology, and only one work, and that is Marx’s Capital. Only a Jew could write this work.  The Jews are the highest and most cultured people on earth... The Jews have a right to subordinate to themselves the rest of mankind and to be the masters over the whole earth. The Jews will become masters over the whole earth, and they will subordinate to themselves all nations, not by material power, not by brute force, but by light, knowledge, understanding, humanity, peace, justice and progress.

     The Aryans will enlarge and beautify the earth; but they will settle to enjoy the world which they created only in the tents of the Jews. These tents are communism, internationalism...

     State capitalism may come from below through a bloody revolution, as was the case in Soviet Russia; or it may come from above, as will likely be the case in this country.

     All that is necessary that in this country state capitalism and fascism shall be completely established is a national emergency or a war. Once such a national emergency or war comes - and it will inevitably come in the near future - and in this country we shall have the state capitalism. and fascism that we see in Soviet Russia or Nazi Germany.

     The Jews shall inherit this earth, and ... all other races will either disappear altogether or they will become Jews. A Program for the Jews and an Answer to All AntiSemites:... by Henry Watan, (New York, NY: Committee for Preservation of the Jews, 1939) p. 36.   (Unk. Editor states: This rather astounding declaration was published by a group calling itself “Committee for Preservation of the Jews.” It was sponsored by the Spinoza Institute of New York. Watan was one of many Jewish mystics who have tried to reconcile the Kabbalah, Spinoza and neo-Gnostic communism, which they see as the long-overdue bringing of rationality, justice - and strict supervision - to the entire world.)

END OF UNFINISHED EXCERPT

 

Still "dont quite believe" that the Judaics are "trying to take over the world" ?

Please wake up, Sir; you haven't much time left.

Peace.

The reader replied with:

"Interesting - I am a Jewish person trying to seek
Jesus and all you keep doing is hurling antisemetic
slurs at me.  You used to be such a reasonable
interesting person, but I think you might be going off
the deep end."

Answer:

     Ummmm..., what "AntiSemitic" "slurs" have I "hurled" at you?  What I did was to quote JEWISH MEN who admit to the plan of the International Judaics.  Your problem isn't with me; it is with the Jewish men, Jewish publications, and Jewish organizations, that I quoted [in the above], such as:

  • Israel Shahak (himself a Holocaust survivor),

  • The Jewish Talmud (the undisputed final authority in Judaism),

  • Baruch Levy, (Judaic)

  • Mr. Blumenthal, (Judaic)

  • Henry Watan, (Jewish Mystic)

  • and the Committee for Preservation of the Jews.

     It is the above that "hurled" so-called "AntiSemitic" "slurs" at "you;" not I.  I just reported on them, I just made you aware of them.  Now, I know that your tactic works with many ungrounded Christians who are more interested in licking the hand of antichrists than they are for standing up for their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; but let's be honest here; you aren't a "Jew" trying to find Jesus; you are trying to suppress any mention of the grand plot of antichrist and his minions. 

     You came here under false pretenses, baited me, and now try to turn my statements against me; in that by my telling you the truth, I am somehow to be responsible for your eternal damnation in denying Jesus Christ.  That one's on you, pal; not on me.  If the truth offends you, then read elsewhere.  There are many Christian Websites that will coddle you and dilute the truth to appease you and your tribe.  I am a believer in tough-love.  Tough love changes errant people, sticky-sweet accommodating and enabling love allows the errant to continue in their error, to their own demise. 

Don't find Jesus Christ because of me, find Him because of Him. 

But then, you really aren't looking for Him, are you? 

You stated:

"but I think you might be going off the deep end"

     We are all going off a deep end if we don't open our eyes and ears soon.  How can one write of such things, in a world that has been prepared to reject them, and not sound like he is "going off the deep end"?  You solution, I suppose, would be to go back to sleep and let antichrist's minion continue away at their work unhindered and unexposed?  Well, when the Tribulation (the ultimate fruit of their labors) visits this world, the people are going to be "going off the deep end" real quick--but it will be too late for most of them.  So I, and others like minded, warn people.  We search out and present facts for those who are interested.  What is it that you are interested in, Sir?  Certainly not anything looking like the truth. 

Instead of playing poor persecuted by the Christian Jew; why not investigate the facts.  I will leave you with Scripture:

John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  KJV
 

John 3:16-18
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. KJV

And I will close this with more handy-work of the International Judaics who control this Government from within and without:

"But how do we know that it is Judaics aim to destroy Christianity," you may ask?  We know because esteemed Jews who opened their eyes and refused to any longer be a part of it have told us: 

 

Jewish Author Israel Shahak states: 

“Judaism is imbued with a very deep hatred towards Christianity. . .  The very name ‘Jesus’ was for Jews a symbol of all that is abominable, and this popular tradition still exists

     The Gospels are equally detested, and they are not allowed to be quoted even in modern Israeli Jewish schools.  Christianity as a religion is classed by rabbinical teaching as idolatry.  All Christian emblems and pictorial representations are regarded as ‘idols.’  The attitude of Judaism towards Islam is, in contrast, relatively mild.”  Israel Shahak, Jewish History, Jewish Religion: The Weight of Three Thousand Years, Pluto Press, London, 1994, p. 97-98.

I could absolutely inundate you with similar quotes; but your ears are shut. 

Peace.

Back to list of questions at top of page

 
 

| Back To Top |

A Muslim respectfully asks about: Islam, in a Christian's view; the Trinity, in light of God is One; and why Jesus Christ was offered, since God could have forgiven sin without it

 

A reader (Muslim) writes:

HI
I am a Muslim and I am interested in knowing more about Christian faith and what are your views on Islam. I will be grateful if you can answer my questions in detail. My questions are: 

1- According to atheists there is no God at all. Religion is seen as something that is passed down as oral culture and the only reason we believe in religion is because we are taught to believe in it since childhood i.e. it is just in the mind. Religion is seen as a control mechanism and all religions are considered similar in the respect that they all consider themselves right and superior, also all other people are considered wrong and would go to hell. If you were to convince an atheist that God exists, what logic would you use? and if you have to believe in a religion then why Christianity? Why not any other religion. 

2- What do you think about Islam. What, in you view, is wrong with Muslim faith. 

3- Lastly, there are certain things that I have heard about Christianity and I don't believe in Christianity because of these: There are many contradictions in Christian faith, the first and foremost is that your first commandment says that God is one but you also believe in Trinity. In one of your answers you wrote that it is the same God in different form the way one person can be a husband, a father and boss and God has unlimited power so he can be at two places at one time. However, as God has limit less power why would he need to send a son to get the sins of people forgiven, he could forgive them anyways. 

Waiting for your replay and thanks.


Answer:

Hello.  Nice to meet you.  May I take your questions one by one?

You stated:

"According to atheists there is no God at all. Religion is seen as something that is passed down as oral culture and the only reason we believe in religion is because we are taught to believe in it since childhood i.e. it is just in the mind."

    According to that way of reasoning we also have to throw out mathematics.  2 + 2 = 4 is no longer true because "[mathematics] is seen as something that is passed down as oral culture and the only reason we believe in [mathematics] is because we are taught to believe in it since childhood". 

    But you say that 2 + 2 = 4 can be proven?  Well, if you are a Muslim who believes Moses and the Old Testament then I can prove Jesus Christ to you as well.  Regarding Atheists, when dealing with Atheists and their view on God I am always reminded of God's view on Atheists:

Psalms 14:1
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God
. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.  KJV

    You will much easier to talk to than an Atheist because you believe Moses and Abraham.  We shall see what witness those two great chosen men of God have of Jesus Christ.  But first let's cover the first parts of your question, let's take your questions and comments in the order that you delivered them.

You mention:

"Religion is seen as a control mechanism"

    And the people do not need restraint, structure, rules???  Where should they get them from if not from God?  When God said, "Thou shalt not...", that was a "control mechanism"—He was trying to control our urge to do wrong.  Is that a bad thing?  All children like to have candy, but until they learn right from wrong, until they have that "control mechanism" placed upon and within them—they will steal the candy off of the store shelf.  Thus, God spoke: "Thou shalt not steal." (Exodus 20:15), and all who steal are convicted by the "control mechanism" called the Ten Commandments. 

You said:

"all religions are considered similar in the respect that they all consider themselves right and superior"

    What man would follow a religion that he thought was wrong?  Of course they all think that they are right; but what has that to do with then being right, or what has it to do with the TRUTH?  When two faiths directly contradict each other on major points—then one of them is wrong and the other may be right—but both cannot be right if they disagree with each other.  This is a fundamental law of logic.  Satan craftily destroys this logic by spreading among the ignorant such lies as "all religions worship the same God," and, "all spiritual paths lead to the same place."  The god of Islam did not beget a Son named Jesus Christ who died on the cross, resurrected, and is alive evermore; the God of the Christians does.  That is why the god that the Muslims and the Jews worship is not the Lord God Creator of the Universe, as He is found in the Bible.  The Jew's Babylonian Talmud calls this only begotten Son of God—a bastard son conceived by a menstruating (niddah) whore!  And the Muslims persecute to death, and force-convert under threat of death, His followers.  So you see, we do not worship the same God, and there is only One true God.  For, if the Muslim worships the true God, then they persecute not only His prophet, but His only begotten Son!  Either way, they are big trouble. 

    While I know that both Muslims and Jews do not believe in the Lord, I have a kinder heart towards Muslims because of the vile perverted blasphemies in the Jewish Talmud which the despicable (religious) Jews throw at Jesus Christ, His mother, the religion borne upon His blood, and the New Testament Holy Scriptures.  The Judaics are lucky that 95% of Christians are ignorant to the teachings of the Jew's holy book, the Talmud!  For I fear that if Christians in general were aware of what "religious" Judaism teaches; what with its Pedophilia, Gentile and child murder, slavery, pre-forgiven lying a year in advance (Kol Nidre), insults to Christ, blasphemies to God, and an overall moral character that would shame a street whore, they wouldn't have to exaggerate and lie about their so-called Holocaust anymore, and they might have a real Pogrom on their hands.  The bad news for them is that through the Internet, many Christians are learning things that many of their overthrown Judaic-controlled so-called Christian preacher$ have been keeping from them.  I am not advocating violence against the antichrists, God shall deal with them in the time.  "For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad." (Mark 4:22).

     Compared to Judaism: at least the Islam of the Koran teaches that Jesus Christ was a honored prophet, and many (religious) Muslims regard the New Testament as having a basis in truth.  Though, if Muslims deem Jesus Christ to be a Prophet of God, and those who believe in the Koran do, then they convict their own souls for murdering His followers.  What does the Qu'ran [Koran—k-rn] say about murdering the attendants and followers of a true Prophet of God?  And yes, I know, not all Muslims condone Jihad [holy war—j-häd] and Fatwas [legal edict from Islamic scholar—fät] which incite violence and persecution and murder upon the innocents; but why then are they strangely so silent when their fellow-religionists sin against God Almighty through their murders? 

You asked:

"If you were to convince an atheist that God exists, what logic would you use?"

    I would point out to them that they themselves are here, and that God said that He created them along with everything else in this world—and challenge them to prove God wrong.  Why does God always have to prove that He exists—why don't the heathen ever have to prove that He doesn't?  Think about how hard it would be for me to prove that you exist without allowing people to touch, hear, or see you.  But could those people actually prove that you do not exist?  Christians know that God exists, and Jesus Christ too, not because someone told them, but because they feel His presence in their souls.  Any Atheist would give away all that he has to feel that, if he only knew it was possible.  Contrary to the teachings of 99% of today's Christian churches (but they mean well, not fully understanding): faith in Christ Jesus, the Savior of man, is not an accomplishment; but, rather it is a gift from God.  In other words, one cannot learn to believe, but he can pray for the faith to believe.  We are not blessed because we believe, we believe because we are blessed

    You too could believe in Jesus Christ if you prayed and asked for it, believing that God can answer prayers and grant mercy and favor to those who love Him.  Even Christ's Apostles asked Christ to increase their faith: "And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith." (Luke 17:5).  So there is no shame in asking God to increase ones own faith.  My own Christian brethren, who glory in their possession of faith, ought to pay heed to Christ's reply to the above request of the Apostles regarding faith:

Luke 17:5-10
5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow [think, believe] not.
10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say [of yourselves], We are unprofitable servants: we have [only] done that which was our duty to do.  KJV

Faith is a gift from God, so that no man may glory in himself (In fact, faith is one of the nine spiritual gifts in 1st Cor 12:9):

[Christ's words in the below are in red text] 

John 6:28-41
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them,
This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32 Then Jesus said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33
For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35 And Jesus said unto them,
I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
36
But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39
And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.  KJV

You asked:

"and if you have to believe in a religion then why Christianity? Why not any other religion. "

    You don't have to believe in any religion, nor Christianity; you have free will to chose eternal life or eternal perdition.  You ask, "Why Christianity?"  I answer: Because it is the truth; if it were not the truth I would not believe it. 

You asked:

"What do you think about Islam. What, in you view, is wrong with Muslim faith"

    Islam is wrong for the same reason that Christianity is right—its all about the truth; its about what is true as opposed to that which is false; it's about what is real as opposed to that which is not real; its about what is from God as opposed to that which is not from God. 

You asked:

"Lastly, there are certain things that I have heard about Christianity and I don't believe in Christianity because of these: There are many contradictions in Christian faith, the first and foremost is that your first commandment says that God is one but you also believe in Trinity."

    Thank you so much for asking that.  I feel that this is the main stumbling block that keeps Muslims from converting to Christianity. 

    Muslims have been told that Christians worship other Gods.  Often times they are told that Christians are blasphemers because they say that Jesus Christ, whom Muslims say was only a man, claimed to be God.  This too is a stumbling block with the Jews; in fact, we see so in the below Scripture. 

    Observe several important points in the below;

  • in verse 24 we see the Jews admit that the Old Testament proclaimed that a Savior from God would be sent to this world;

  • in verse 25 Jesus declares that He is the Promised One spoken of in the books of Moses;

  • in verses 28 & 29 we see that plucking out of Jesus' hand is the same thing as plucking out of God's hand;

  • in verse 30 we see Jesus declare, not that He is another God, but that He is THE God (in the flesh);

  • in verse 32 we see the Jews make a ostensive admission that they did observe Jesus' miracles; i.e., they give witness that they did happen;

  • in verse 33 we see that the Jews well understood exactly what Jesus was saying, and the magnitude of it; they knew full well that Jesus was claiming to be the God of the Heavens (manifested on the Earth in the flesh), and for this they sought to kill Him.  And had Jesus not really have been God in the flesh, then the Jews would have been justified in stoning Him to death blasphemy against the Most High—but Jesus really was God—therefore the Jews did err, and still do to this day—as do the Muslims and many others as well:

John 10:24-33
24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them,
I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. [Note: Think back to the comments that I made regarding and prior to John 6:28-41 above]
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
30 I and my Father are one.
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them,
Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.  KJV

    Oh, had the Jews (and today's Muslims as well) only believed Moses!  For, Moses spoke of Christ which was to come:

John 5:37-47
37
And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41 I receive not honour from men.
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?  KJV

    It is wrong and errant for Muslim clergy to say that Jesus leads people into worshipping other gods.  Jesus does no such thing, in fact, He forbids it.  It is also wrong of them to say that Jesus blasphemes God if he claims to be His Son, and that those who believe upon and worship Jesus Christ, blaspheme God and are infidels and "satans."  Not so much because it is offensive, I don't care about that; they may well find some of my writings offensive; but it is wrong because it is incorrect, it is wrong because it is not the truth of the matter.  No religion should defend itself against others based upon a foundation of lies.  Below we see Jesus answer in His own defense—once and for all time—that He in no way advocates worshipping other gods.  Jesus declares that God is One.  Is that not what Muslims are taught, that God is one God, that there is only one God?

Mark 12:28-34
28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29 And Jesus answered him,
The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel ; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him,
Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst [dared] ask him any question.  KJV

Jesus was quoting from Moses in the above Scripture:

Deuteronomy 6:1-5
6:1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
2 That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.  KJV

    I have spoken to Muslims whom I worked with some years ago.  One in particular took a liking to me, and I to him.  As time went on, we spoke of many matters; eventually, as would be expected, we began to speak about the differences in our religions.  We spoke kindly with each other, each being respectful that the other had the right to his own beliefs.  His biggest thing was that he was taught that nowhere in the Bible did Jesus actually claim that He Himself was the Lord God spoken of in the Old Testament.  I felt in my heart at the time that if only he could have been made to see that Jesus indeed said that he was God, that it would have at least given him pause to think, because I know that Muslims are taught that Jesus was a great Prophet of God (devote Muslims even heap respect upon Jesus Christ by saying "peace be upon Him" after speaking his name), and that in Islamic scriptures it is declared that no Prophet of God can lie—therefore, by the rules of his own religion; if Jesus said it, he would have had to believe it; for, his faith teaches that no prophet of God can lie, and they teach that Jesus was a Prophet of God. 

    I didn't have the answer that day for my friend.  He continued in his belief that Christians just made that up (about Jesus being God) to make their religion look more powerful and to defend Jesus for sayings that may be considered blasphemous to others; or that they (Christians) themselves did not fully understand the tenets of their own religion. 

    That was a long time ago, before I really got into deep study of God's written Word, the Bible.  At that time, I did not know how to offer a defense of the faith with Scripture, I didn't know my way around the Bible all that well (to put it mildly).  But if I could go back these years, back to that day when we had spoke and he had caught me unprepared with that statement, I would have had an answer for my old friend (we have since drifted apart due to job change, etc.).  I hope that he has found elsewhere that which I was unable to offer him at the time.  So, to answer you (and all the "him's" out there), may I just allow Jesus to speak on His own behalf? 

    Jesus called Himself the Lord God, the Great and only "I AM"; the "I AM THAT I AM" --Ex 3:14 revealed to Moses prior to the exodus out of Egypt:

John 8:52-59
52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered,
If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad [Jesus was Melchizedek in Gen 14:18 whom Abraham paid tithes to (see also Heb 7:1-3) "no father/no mother"].
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.  KJV

Definitions from verse 58 above:

I:  Greek word #1473 ego (eg-o'); a primary pronoun of the first person I (only expressed when emphatic): KJV - I, me. For the other cases and the plural see NT:1691, NT:1698, NT:1700, NT:2248, NT:2249, NT:2254, NT:2257, etc.  (Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright © 1994, 2003 Biblesoft, Inc. and International Bible Translators, Inc.)
 

Am: Greek word #1510  eimi (i-mee'); the first person singular present indicative; a prolonged form of a primary and defective verb; I exist (used only when emphatic): KJV - am, have been, it is I, was. See also NT:1488, NT:1498, NT:1511, NT:2258, NT:2071, NT:2070, NT:2075, NT:2076, NT:2468, NT:5600, NT:5607.  (Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright © 1994, 2003 Biblesoft, Inc. and International Bible Translators, Inc.)

Exodus 3:13-15
13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham [that is supposed to be the God of Muslims], the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.  KJV

I AM:  Hebrew word # 1961 hayah (haw-yaw); a primitive root [compare OT:1933]; to exist, i.e. be or become, come to pass (always emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary): KJV - beacon, altogether, be (-come), accomplished, committed, like), break, cause, come (to pass), do, faint, fall, follow, happen, have, last, pertain, quit (oneself-), require, use.  (Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright © 1994, 2003 Biblesoft, Inc. and International Bible Translators, Inc.)

    The Jews tried to kill Jesus when He said that He was "I am", which proves that Jesus indeed was calling Himself the "I AM" of Exodus 3:14 (the Lord God), and the Jews readily identified that name from the Scriptures. 

You asked:

"as God has limit less power why would he need to send a son to get the sins of people forgiven, he could forgive them anyways"

    He "could have" made pigs fly, and rocks float; but even the very young observe that He did not.  You ask "why," why did God send Jesus as THE ONLY means of forgiving the sins of man after that Jesus was offeredas though if it "doesn't make sense" to you, then it cannot be. 

    I will tell you "why," my friend.  It is for the for the same reason that in the days of old the people were to sacrifice animals as a sin offering.  Surely God did not need them to do that either, God could have forgiven sin without the death of an animal.  God does many things that He doesn't "need" to do, God does things the way that He wants them done, not because that He "has to" do them.  He is God, He answers to no-one.  God sent Jesus to cleanse sin because God sent Jesus to cleanse sin.  God made the Universe because God made the Universe.  God made satan because He made satan.  God made Ebola and the Chicken Pox and Penicillin because He made them.  He made pain, sorrow, and death; He made ecstasy, love, and eternal life, sinners and saints, good and evil, life and death, because that is what He willed to do.  Who are we to question God or His ways, seeing that He made us and all that is in our world?  Your answer lies here:

Hebrews 9:22
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.  KJV

This was nothing new; for God spoke it in Moses writings: 

Leviticus 17:11
11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I [God speaking] have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.  KJV

Why then is it odd to see Jesus' blood for the remission (forgiveness) sins?

Matthew 27:22-26
22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing , but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.  KJV

Below my point is explained a little deeper, showing the Old Testament connection:

Hebrews 9:19-28
19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.  KJV

Peace.

The Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, a word from an eyewitness to something the Judaic-controlled media has suppressed

 

     A reader, himself a Christian and a U.S. Naval Veteran, asked me to publish the below about his eyewitness to something the Judaic-controlled media has suppressed.

Nick

Please print this on your site. I know God is wanting me to say this.

Rev 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. (KJV) On June 8, 1967 the Israeli Defense Force attacked an unarmed American ship and meant to put her to the bottom. I was aboard that ship, and I saw the awesome fire power that was leveled against us. We had no defense except four 50 caliber machine guns, which we only fired a couple of rounds from. They had napalm, rockets, torpedoes, and machine guns. They spent almost an hour and a half trying to put the USS Liberty to the bottom. Their Air Force, their Navy, their Army could not put the Liberty to the bottom. The Army actually sent a helicopter loaded with troops to help in their objective.

Here is my question Nick. If these people are who they claim they are, the USS Liberty would have went to the bottom with all hands aboard. The opposite happened, and God held that ship up no matter what these people tried to do. If I were them I would stand in awe of the mighty power of God that kept the Liberty afloat against all odds. Now I would refer you to First Samuel where an almost identical thing happened They took the Ark of the Covenant into battle with them, and they still lost. These people are subject to the power of God just as the rest of us. If I were them I would remove the splinter from my eye and take a real good look at what happened that day. God saved the USS Liberty and most of the men who were aboard her. Yes we lost thirty four and I have no explanation for that, but I was there, and I know that our God saved us. Please distribute this for all to see so that they will know the truth of what you have on your web site.

Ronald G. Kukal Survivor of the deliberate attack on the USS Liberty. June 8, 1967


Answer:

You had a question in there.  You asked:

"Here is my question Nick.  If these people [Jews] are who they claim they are..."

They are not.

Revelation 2:9-11
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I
[Christ Jesus] know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.  KJV

Revelation 3:9-11
9 Behold, I
[Christ Jesus] will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.  KJV

You also said:

"Now I would refer you to First Samuel where an almost identical thing happened They took the Ark of the Covenant into battle with them, and they still lost. These people are subject to the power of God just as the rest of us."

     But you err in that you apparently do not know that, while they claim to be the Hebrew and Israel people of the Bible, 95% of today's Judaics are not of the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but are rather "Ashkenazi Jews" who are descendants of the Khazar people which were of Turko-Mongoloid blood and merely converted to Talmudic Judaism in circa 8th Century a.d. (approx 740 a.d.).  In the 12th Century the Khazar kingdom would be destroyed.  It is was then that the Turko-Mongoloid Khazars migrated into Europe and intermarried with the European Jews, their fellow religionists, becoming known today as the "Ashkenazi Jews," and constituting 95% of world Jewry.  The rest is history.  Knowing this may answer a great deal of your questions and pain.  We have much on this matter on this Website, try our Search our site.
 

We have as a free E-book, The authoritative book on the Khazars, written by a Jewish fellow named Arthur Koestler (now deceased):

The Thirteenth Tribe by Arthur Koestler  This book traces the history of the ancient Khazar Empire, a major but almost forgotten power in Eastern Europe, which in the Dark Ages became converted to Judaism. Khazaria was finally wiped out by the forces of Genghis Khan, but evidence indicates that the Khazars themselves migrated to Poland and formed the cradle of Western Jewry…

The Khazars’ sway extended from the Black Sea to the Caspian, from the Caucasus to the Volga, and they were instrumental in stopping the Muslim onslaught against Byzantium, the eastern jaw of the gigantic pincer movement that in the West swept across northern Africa and into Spain.

...but that does not alter the fact that the large majority of surviving Jews in the world is of Eastern European — and thus perhaps mainly of Khazar — origin. If so, this would mean that their ancestors came not from the Jordan but from the Volga, not from Canaan but from the Caucasus, once believed to be the cradle of the Aryan race; and that genetically they are more closely related to the Hun, Uigur and Magyar tribes than to the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

     Should this turn out to be the case, then the term “anti-Semitism” would become void of meaning, based on a misapprehension shared by both the killers and their victims. The story of the Khazar Empire, as it slowly emerges from the past, begins to look like the most cruel hoax which history has ever perpetrated. ― Arthur Koestler, The Thirteenth Tribe; pg.17.

 

Peace.

Birth Control, Abortion: Are certain Birth-Control Methods (certain kinds of "The Pill," IUD', etc.) actually "mini" Abortions?

 

A reader writes:

This is a totally sincere question from someone (me)
trying to understand. I imagine many others would like
to hear your thoughts on it.  I know we have had our
differences but I really respect the thoughtful
analysis you have brought to many subjects.

I agree with you that abortion is a sin. But what
about birth control? No matter how you slice it, the
Bible seems to be saying that the vast majority of
people are going to hell. For arguments sake, lets say
it is 99 out of 100. That means that for every one
hundred births you prevent, you are saving 99 future
souls from eternal torment. It sounds like a mercy
second only to God's Grace. So how could it possibly
be wrong?

I know this reasoning sounds crazy, but I don't
understand what is wrong with it.

I'd really like to see a discussion item about this.


Answer:

    Hello; first off, allow me to say that I do not hold grudgesChristians don't do that (or should try not to). I get upset, yes, angry as well, but those are human emotions.  Did not our Lord Jesus Christ even get angry at the so-called Jews of His time?  And I also understand that my venue here, that being religion and the overthrow of Christianity in the endtimes by satan's minions, is a very volatile environment. Most people who care enough to read and write about religion have very strong passions for their own religion. And people do not like to be shown that they are wrong regarding any facet of their particular doctrine or beliefs--so they react harshly at times.  I understand this, but many do not seem to take this into account when they see a Christianoh my gosh!get angry.

Enough about that.  You said:

"I agree with you that abortion is a sin. But what
about birth control? No matter how you slice it, the
Bible seems to be saying that the vast majority of
people are going to hell. For arguments sake, lets say
it is 99 out of 100. That means that for every one
hundred births you prevent, you are saving 99 future
souls from eternal torment. It sounds like a mercy
second only to God's Grace. So how could it possibly
be wrong?
"

You made several statements in your above which need to be addressed separately. 

You said:

"I agree with you that abortion is a sin."

    You're in good company; for, so does God's Word agree that a fetus is a life, a person, a soul; and not just some blob of tissue that the Liberals (etc.) say he/she is.  So much so is a fetus a living person, that God charges the same a murderer, and demands the death penalty, for anyone killing a fetus intentionally:

Exodus 21:22-24
22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit [fetus] depart from her [die stillborn, spontaneously abort], and yet no mischief follow
[no intent]: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23 And if any mischief
[intent] follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,  KJV

    I see how the lukewarm'ers (so-called Judeo-Christians) like to say that Jesus revoked the punishment for the sin of Adultery, but I would just love to see them try to also skew Christ's words to make Him also revoke the punishment for the sin of Abortion (murder)!

You said:

"But what about birth control?"

    There are two kinds of birth control. And ladies, you had better sit down for this one; you are going to find out something that you aren't going to like.  One kind of birth control stops conception from ever happening, and the other kind terminates the pregnancy after conception has happened but before the fertilized egg can develop much past the first onset of cell divisions (growth).  So therefore, the first method is not Abortion, the second method is an Abortion.

    Life begins at conception.  Conception is when a sperm cell penetrates a woman's egg and fertilizes it-thus beginning the growth of a new person.  the soul in that person the very moment life begins for him/her.

    Condoms, the "withdrawal method," intercourse at a time when a woman is not 'fertile' or ovulating, spermicidal creams, etc., stop the sperm from reaching the eggthus there is no conceptionthere is no new life.  However, methods of "birth control" such as "the pill," the IUD, and especially the "morning after pill" (RU486, compliments of the Judaic Rockefeller dynasty) for instance, allow the sperm to fertilize the egg, but do not allow it to remain firmly attached to the uterine wall of the womanso it is "flushed out" and dies.  Now since I am not a doctor, the below article excerpt should suffice to document what I am saying, and the reader may follow the link to read the entire article: 

Introduction

            Christians are increasingly being exposed to the medical and theological debate concerning the potential abortifacient [abortive] effect of the birth control pill (the Pill). Some, including this author,1 have argued that the Pill, in both of its forms (the oral combined oral contraceptives [COCs], containing estrogen and progesterone hormones, and the oral progestin only pills [POPs], containing only progesterone hormone) has an abortifacient effect, at least some of the time.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 By "abortifacient effect," these authors mean that the Pill causes the unnatural and unrecognized death of preborn children sometime between conception and "patient recognized pregnancy" – the time when the woman realizes that she is pregnant, either by signs or symptoms. A patient-recognized pregnancy can be clinically confirmed by physical exam, ultrasound or laboratory testing. By "preborn child," they mean the developing human life that secular physicians medically label as a morula, a zygote, a blastocyst, a pre-embryo(sic), a conceptus, or an embryo,9 depending upon the stage of development. ...

...The Medical Evidence

            Both proponents and opponents seem to agree that the risk of an abortifacient [abortive] effect with intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs), the progesterone-only pills (POP), Norplant" (subcutaneously implanted progesterone rods) and "emergency contraception"(sic) or "the morning after pills" are such that, in general, it would be unethical to use or prescribe these products for birth control.1,2,10,11 In other words, these products appear to have an abortifacient or post-fertilization effect [stopping the pregnancy after conception has begun], at least some of the time.

Of POPs, opponents have stated, for example, that "POPs are much less effective birth control...although they have potential advantages for select patients."11 They go on to say, "POPs...are associated with higher ectopic (tubal) pregnancy rates, exposing the user to increased potential for morbidity and even mortality. This may constitute an unacceptable risk for the use of these products."11 Proponents have said, "For POPs...postfertilization effects are likely to have an increased role."1

However, proponents and opponents derive different conclusions when it comes to the COC's or injectable progesterone (i.e., DepoProvera"). Since COC's are used much more frequently than DepoProvera", this paper will examine the COC. The following arguments for and against an abortifacient effect of the Pill were distilled from several excellent reviews on the subject.1,2,3,10, 11

     For whatever it may be worth (even if only to illustrate how a Clergyman deals with the sudden realization that he may have committing abortions without knowing it), below is a Christian Pastor's response to the article, which was archived at the Website:

Thank you for your very informative article on the abortive affects of the pill (Does the Birth Control Pill Cause Abortions?). I am a pastor, and up until this point I have recommended the pill to others. Furthermore, my wife and I have used it as our primary means of birth control. I have heard rumors that the pill might cause early abortions, but like many others I had not seen any hard data, so I assumed it was a legend built up by those who are against all forms of birth control.

Today I was on your website looking for sermon illustrations on hope even in desperate situations (like the Christians in your book Safely Home), and I came across your section on prolife issues. I am strongly prolife, and even got arrested with Operation Rescue a few years back, so I was interested in what you had to say. After reading your article I am forced to change my mind on this issue. You presented the facts clearly, and I can no longer reconcile my belief that life starts at conception with the use of the pill for personal use or to recommend it to others. (signed) M. S. -- Readers' Responses to Does the Birth Control Pill Cause Abortions?  Link: http://www.epm.org/bcp.html

    My final comment on the above issue would be that there is no guilt when one sins unawares (without knowing that they are sinning).  In other words, if you didn't know, then you aren't guilty of abortions where they may have been caused by certain Birth-Control methods (and they don't always cause abortions [read at article for more info] So, maybe it is best the fact that you can never really know for sure if you have) .  I provide this info so that women can make rsponsible choices on Birth-Control method.  One more thing:  Aren't you upset that the Pharmaceutical Conglomerates (owned by the you-know-who's) haven't released this info to you or your doctor?  Moving on...

Birth Control in the Bible?

     There is no admonishment in the Bible for birth control that does not kill a fertilized egg, no matter how much the self-righteous hypocrites whish that there was one.  The Scripture that most so-called's use the below, which has nothing to do with birth control generally, but only in this particular case where it was the man's duty to impregnate his deceased brother's widow to "raise up seed to his brother's name."  Some people even try to use the below Scripture to refer to an admonishment against masturbation, but that is not at all what was happening there.  The man in the below practiced what we commonly refer to as the "withdrawal method;" that being where the male has intercourse and then withdraws from the woman before injecting his sperm into her:

Genesis 38:8-10
8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed [conceive a child] to thy brother.
9 And Onan knew that the seed [child] should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto [sexual intercourse] his brother's wife, that he spilled it [his semen] on the ground, lest that he should give seed [conceived child] to his brother.
10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.  KJV

    So, a rule of thumb for birth control is to use a method that does not allow the sperm to fertilize the egg.  Anything else is a form of Abortion.  If you are a Christian woman reading this, and have done this type of birth control (possibly chemical abortion through the Pill or others) or have even had a medical Abortion; then simply repent to God in Jesus Christ's name, and stop doing it.  Abortion is forgivable through Jesus Christ, as is all sin, save for the Unforgivable Sin, which is neither sexual or murderous in nature.  And besides, many women do not know that certain methods of birth control can, in some cases, be de facto mini early abortions.  And in ignorance often is found innocence.

You said:

"No matter how you slice it, the Bible seems to be saying that the vast majority of people are going to hell. For arguments sake, lets say it is 99 out of 100."

    I don't see those magnitude of numbers of the damned in the Bible.  Perhaps you referring only to the final generation (our present one) who goes through the Great Tribulation?  But you forget about all the other souls who passed through this world before the final generation.  I dare say that as many people have lived and died as that are alive at any given time on the Earth.  Perhaps a math expert reader could actually work out a formula for this (the ration between how many have lived and died compared to how many that are alive at any given point)?  But anyway, many shall also be saved (but then die for Christ) in the Tribulation; for, do we not read of many martyrs?

    But we may deduce that more shall perish in the fires than shall be saved; for, did not Christ even say:

Matthew 7:13-14
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate , and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.  KJV

    This foolishness on the part of many (well intentioned) Christians that most people are going to be saved, is, well, just thatfoolishness.  And don't even get me started on the so-called "second-chance at salvation in the millennium" doctrine!  There are no second chances after one dies on this Earth:

Hebrews 9:27
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:  KJV

    Teaching anything other than the above Scripture leads people to "put-of" seeking Christ, because they are led to believe that their actions on this Earth while living, are not final, even after they die.  They have not been taught the urgency of salvation, though the Bible is replete with admonitions that the end is always near.  And the end is near to each of us from all ages; for, once you die, you have come to the end for you.  You will now be judged on what you have done and not done while living.  So, in essence, the "Day Of The Lord" is one heartbeat away from every man, woman, and child who has ever lived on this Earth.  And it is very dangerous and irresponsible to cause people to stumble by teaching them that they will get a second chance after death; and many (well intentioned) Christians shall answer for that on judgment Day, I don't care who you are.  Can you imagine having God thunder at you "Who told you to tell the people that their actions are not binding, and that they had a second chance later after they have passed away?  But what authority have you caused these people to stumble?" ?  Once again, ignorance covers a multitude of sins. 

You said:

"That means that for every one hundred births you prevent, you are saving 99 future souls from eternal torment. It sounds like a mercy second only to God's Grace. So how could it possibly be wrong?"

    Wow!  What a thing to say!  Where do I begin with this one?  Ok, I will assume that you meant that for every birth that was prevented by a form of birth control wherein the sperm never fertilizes the eggthat you spare that soul from the possibility of coming here and perhaps not overcoming, thus perishing in the Lake of Fire.

    There is a problem with that, which I think that most have caught.  If there is no conception, then there is no soul assigned to the non-existent new life.  That soul in Heaven shall just wait for another conception to enter this world.

Is a Fetus a Human Being?

    One more point on Abortion.  And I do not post this to make today's women feel bad, though I know that it may.  To them I say this:  Don't get mad at me for telling you the truth, get mad at those who led you astray with lies.  The reason that I post the below is to warn-off younger women who have not yet had Abortions; to show them that they have been lied to by the Judaic-controlled, profiteered, and fomented Abortion Industry into thinking that the fruit of their womb is merely a lifeless, soulless, blob of tissue and blood.  Christian women who have already had Abortions know what they must dothey must repent and cease and desist from further Abortions.  Christ is able to cleanse them wholly and completely.  Non-Christian women shall stand on Judgment Day with their Abortions and all their other life's sins on their soulsthey are in a most miserable condition.  I don't want to be judging anyone here, but contrary to popular misconception, there are many more female murderers in this world than malebecause of the Abortion issue.  But then, men are not guiltless in the Abortion if they encourage, finance, or don't try to stop it, either.

    But would women rather that I remained silent, and that the only voice that young confused and scared women heard today was that of the Abortion profiteers?  No, I think not.  Any decent Christian woman would rather have the truth be shouted out loud, even though it multiplies their own pain, for just the chance that it may save another younger Christian woman the horrors of Abortion.  Abortion not only removes the child from the womb, Abortion tears a part of the woman's heart out as well.  They are never the same again after an Abortion; it's almost like a rape, the rape of the soul.  Ask one of them; in an honest moment they will confirm what I have just stated.  Many of them have committed suicide or become drug-addicted because of their abortion.

    It is that spirit (a spirit of warning and education) that I document below in an wholly undisputable way, that a fetus is a child who is just not yet fully developed to be born; just like a boy is just a not yet developed man.

    Jesus Christ was an entity, a living person, when He was yet in His mother's womb, as was John the Baptist.  Now many may try to say that Jesus was different because he was God, but John the Baptist was not God, nor an angel from Heaven.  John the Baptist was a normal child conceived by the sexual intercourse of his father and mother.  Observe that while yet in the womb (a fetus), John was a person (as was Jesus):

Luke 1:41-44
41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe [John the Baptist] leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe [JTB] leaped in my womb for joy.  KJV

babe: Greek word #1025 brephos (bref'-os); of uncertain affin.; an infant (properly, unborn) literally or figuratively: KJV - babe, (young) child, infant.

mother: Greek word #3384  meter (may'-tare); apparently a primary word; a "mother" (literally or figuratively, immed. or remote): KJV - mother.

Lord:  Greek word #2962  kurios (koo'-ree-os); from kuros (supremacy); supreme in authority, i.e. (as noun) controller; by implication, Mr. (as a respectful title): KJV - God, Lord, master, Sir.

And further Scriptural evidence that a fetus is a child who is just not born yet:

Luke 1:31
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.  KJV

Luke 1:36
36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.  KJV

son: Greek word #5207  huios (hwee-os'); apparently a primary word; a "son" (sometimes of animals), used very widely of immediate, remote or figuratively, kinship: KJV - child, foal, son.

conceive: Greek word #4815  sullambano (sool-lam-ban'-o); from NT:4862 and NT:2
