McCain''s ‘Spiritual Guide’:ISLAM and CHRISTIANITY ARE NOT THE SAME and DONT WORSHIP the SAME GOD

I would like to adress several points regarding the previous video about McCain and Pastor Rod Parsley.

Brian Ross said that Rod Parsley is now known in the arab world as a "HATE MONGER"...Let's address some of Parsley comments:

1)"Islam is an anti-Christ religion that intends through violence to conquer the world."

Antichrist means literally to oppose Christ.That is TRUTH.Since Islam doesn't acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God,but only as a respected prophet,therefore rejecting the deity and Lordship of Jesus Christ,yes,it is ANTI--CHRIST.Period.I know this may enrage some BUT it is the TRUTH and is Biblical.As it is WRITTEN:

---"Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son."(1 john 2:22)

---"And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world."(1 John 4:3)

---"For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist."(2 John 1:7)

A "religion that intends through violence to conquer the world"that is TRUTH too...

[The violent injunctions of the Quran and the violent precedents set by Muhammad set the tone for the Islamic view of politics and of world history. Islamic scholarship divides the world into two spheres of influence, the House of Islam (dar al-Islam) and the House of War (dar al-harb). Islam means submission, and so the House of Islam includes those nations that have submitted to Islamic rule, which is to say those nations ruled by Sharia law. The rest of the world, which has not accepted Sharia law and so is not in a state of submission, exists in a state of rebellion or war with the will of Allah. It is incumbent on dar al-Islam to make war upon dar al-harb until such time that all nations submit to the will of Allah and accept Sharia law. Islam's message to the non-Muslim world is the same now as it was in the time of Muhammad and throughout history: submit or be conquered. The only times since Muhammad when dar al-Islam was not actively at war with dar al-harb were when the Muslim world was too weak or divided to make war effectively.But the lulls in the ongoing war that the House of Islam has declared against the House of War do not indicate a forsaking of jihad as a principle but reflect a change in strategic factors. It is acceptable for Muslim nations to declare hudna, or truce, at times when the infidel nations are too powerful for open warfare to make sense. Jihad is not a collective suicide pact even while "killing and being killed" (Sura 9:111) is encouraged on an individual level. For the past few hundred years, the Muslim world has been too politically fragmented and technologically inferior to pose a major threat to the West. But that is changing....](1)...As we can all witness

2)"American was founded in part to see this false religion of islam destroyed"

I dont know what he refers too,really.Ill guess Ill get his book and read it this weekend,to see if I find more about it.

3)"9/11 was a generational call to arms that we can no longer ignore"

Same as point 2.

4)"I will counter that what its call extremist are main stream muslims that are extracting from the heart of Islam"

That is sad.Many people dont like to hear about that but its TRUTH too...

[So:If Islam is violent, why are so many Muslims peaceful?

This question is a bit like asking, "If Christianity teaches humility, tolerance, and forgiveness, why are so many Christians arrogant, intolerant, and vindictive?" The answer in both cases is obvious: in any religion or ideology there will be many who profess, but do not practice, its tenets. Just as it is often easier for a Christian to hit back, play holier-than-thou, or disdain others, so it is often easier for a Muslim to stay at home rather than embark on jihad. Hypocrites are everywhere.Furthermore, there are also people who do not really understand their own faith and so act outside of its prescribed boundaries. In Islam, there are likely many Muslims who do not really understand their religion thanks to the importance of reciting the Quran in Arabic but not having to understand it. It is the words and sounds of the Quran that attract Allah's merciful attention rather than Quranic knowledge on the part of the supplicant. Especially in the West, Muslims here are more likely to be attracted by Western ways (which explains why they are here) and less likely to act violently against the society to which they may have fled from an Islamic tyranny abroad.However, in any given social context, as Islam takes greater root -- increasing numbers of followers, the construction of more mosques and "cultural centers," etc. -- the greater the likelihood that some number of its adherents will take its violent precepts seriously. This is the problem that the West faces today.](2)

5)"I will rail against the idea that the God of Christianity and the god of Islam are the same being.I will sound the alarm about the pernicious agenda of the enemies of my country and the cross of my Christ and I will proclaim the truth at every opportunity"

[Unlike the Quran, the Bible is a huge collection of documents written by different people at different times in different contexts, which allows for much greater interpretative freedom. The Quran, on the other hand, comes exclusively from one source: Muhammad. It is through the life of Muhammad that the Quran must be understood, as the Quran itself says. His wars and killings both reflect and inform the meaning of the Quran. Furthermore, the strict literalism of the Quran means that there is no room for interpretation when it comes to its violent injunctions. As it is through the example of Christ, the "Prince of Peace," that Christianity interprets its scriptures, so it is through the example of the warlord and despot Muhammad that Muslims understand the Quran.As should be plain to anyone who has examined the Islamic sources, to take the violence out of Islam would require it to jettison two things: the Quran as the word of Allah and Muhammad as Allah's prophet. In other words, to pacify Islam would require its transformation into something that it is not. The Western Christian Reformation, that is often used as an example, was an attempt (successful or not) to recover the essence of Christianity, namely, the example and teachings of Christ and the Apostles. Trying to get back to the example of Muhammad would have very different consequences. Indeed, one may say that Islam is today going through its "Reformation" with the increasing jihadist activity around the globe. Today, Muslims of the Salafi ("early generations") school are doing exactly that in focusing on the life of Muhammad and his early successors. These reformers are known to their detractors by the derogative term Wahhabi. Drawing their inspiration from Muhammad and the Quran, they are invariably disposed to violence. The unhappy fact is that Islam today is what it has been fourteen centuries: violent, intolerant, and expansionary. It is folly to think that we, in the course of a few years or decades, are going to be able to change the basic world outlook of a foreign civilization. Islam's violent nature must be accepted as given; only then will we be able to come up with appropriate policy responses that can improve our chances of survival.](3)

ISLAM and CHRISTIANITY are NOT the same thing....And therefore they dont worship the same GOD....

Let's examine the 5 pillars of Islam:

[The five pillars of Islam constitute the most basic tenets of the religion. They are:
1. Faith (iman) in the oneness of Allah and the finality of the prophethood of Muhammad (indicated by the declaration [the Shahadah] that, "There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah").
2. Keeping of the five scheduled daily prayers (salah).
3. Almsgiving (zakat).
4. Fasting (sawm).
5. Pilgrimage (hajj) to Mecca for those who are able.

The five pillars in and of themselves do not tell us a lot about the faith or what a Muslim is supposed to believe or how he should act. The second through fifth pillars -- prayer, almsgiving, fasting, pilgrimage -- are aspects shared by many religions. The finality of the prophethood of Muhammad, however, is unique to Islam. To understand Islam and what it means to be a Muslim, we must come to understand Muhammad as well as the revelations given through him by Allah, which make up the Quran.](4)

[While in Mecca, though he condemned paganism (for the most part), Muhammad showed great respect for the monotheism of the Christian and Jewish inhabitants. Indeed, the Allah of the Quran claimed to be the same God worshipped by Jews and Christians, who now revealed himself to the Arab people through his chosen messenger, Muhammad. It is the Quranic revelations that came later in Muhammad's career, after he and the first Muslims left Mecca for the city of Medina, that transformed Islam from a relatively benign form of monotheism into an expansionary, military-political ideology that persists to this day.](5)

Furthermore,you can pick any history book and find out that Allah is the Moon god of the babylonians....Therefore the GOD of CREATION is not the created god of Islam.

I know this may upset many--christians and muslims alike--BUT it is the TRUTH and you can reasearch it yourself in books at your local library,seminary,etc.

IF Pastor Rod Parsley is called a HATE MONGER because he preaches the TRUTH of the Bible about Islam...then Ill guess you should include this blogger and the millions of Bible Believers all across the word.

They are trying--an they will try--to portray Bible Believing Christians and Pastors as RELIGIOUS NUTCASES and HATE MONGERS,that's alright.....

Jesus came to set us free from--among other things---the bondage of RELIGION...

Christianism is a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.IT is not a RELIGION....

RELIGION KILLS....JESUS SAVES and GIVES you NEW LIFE.

In Jesus ONLY there is ETERNAL LIFE and TRUTH.(John 14:6)

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

People either choose to believe it or not....That's the TRUTH....

God Bless you

As in the days of Noah...
