In Opposition V

A
Genuine Christians do not wish that anyone die and go directly to Hell. A genuine Christian takes to heart the parable that begins at Luke 14:16...

[16]Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: [17]And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. [18] And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. [19]And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. [20]And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. [21]So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. [22]And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. [23]And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. [24]For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

Genuine Muslims wish all unbelievers, especially Jews, a swift descent to Hell.

Abu Nasser, a senior leader of the Al Aqsa Brigades in the West Bank, rejoiced in [Daniel] Wultz's death... "This is a gift from Allah. We wish this young dog will go directly with no transit to hell," [he] said.

C
There is only one God, yet two struggle one against the other. The God of Israel-- and Christianity --is diametrically opposed to the god of Islam. One of the two, therefore, is false a false god, whose false religion has it's foundation planted in hell... And Satan himself is its god.

Just to be clear... Satan in not God's opposite. God has no opposite.

I liked this post until the end. And I'm not sure how you translate this bit of scripture?
I see it as Gods invitation to people who were preocupied with life.
One for his wealth,
one for his work,
and one for his own family.
They could not come to God cause they were busy, refused to give up anything or their worldly practices.
I also have a question to ask you. You associate Jews and Christians alot, what seperates them?
you hold so tightly to your old testement and its teaching why not call yourself a Jew then?
You or some of your commenters have stated I pick and chose in my Ideas but in the same sense dont you? why dont you follow all the jewish laws in your view of christianity?
On the muslim issue... I do stand and fight against the islamic plauge of terror present in the world today. But to call them as a race " spans of satan" or what ever you said is not true. God did not destroy Ishmael, he promised his mother he would take care of him.
what happened because of Mohammad is a distortion of truth. The real problem is Israel and palistine...jews and arabs forget they are brothers because of it. I would say the true role of a christian then would be to remind them of this somehow.

The parable is interpreted thusly... the Jews of Jesus' day rejected him-- chose not to come to the marriage feast, so He sent his servants, His disciples, into the highways and hedges of the Gentile world to compel whoever would to come to the Masters' feast... that His house might be full.

Jews and Christians, while worshiping the same God (though I'm not so naive as to believe there aren't plenty in the Jewish community who would vehemently disagree), are not the same, nor will they be judged the same. The Jews will be dealt with by God based on His promises to them as a nation. The church is something altogether different. Different promises... Vastly different.

"Muslim", it should be pointed out, does not describe a "race," it describes the adherents of a specific religion... Namely, Islam. I speak judgment against Islam, not the many different races and cultures who follow its teaching. God promised to make of Ishmael a great nation, and in this He has kept His word. It is sad that they have been deceived, and yes, you are most certainly right... the true role of a Christian is to show them their error, and compel them to turn away from Satan and turn to God, through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. There is no other way to God, but through Jesus.

God did take care of Ishmael--He gave Ishmael "the fat of the land". Anyone reasonable will agree that the "fat of the land" is the vast oil reserves that lie within the borders of arab....that is Islamic nations. The problem is that Ishmael didn't take care of his own interests.

There are consequences for not taking care of b'iness!
