"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12, KJV). Jesus declared, "I am the way, the
truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6). A COUNTERFIT COALITION Now is not the time to merge with madmen who seek the annihilation and demise of Israel as a nation. The scripture is plain when it asks, "Can two walk together unless they are agreed?" The answer from a historical perspective is all too clear: NO! How confusing, that we are seeking to defeat global terrorism and at the same time tie the hands of Israel. No one on earth has the expertise in defending against terrorism, as does the nation of Israel. It is a terrible mistake for our nation to allow this artificial union with the Arabs to continue driving a wedge of separation between America and Israel. America has never had a truer or more trusted friend in the Middle East than the nation of Israel. We must continue to pray for wisdom for our nation’s leaders as they deal with the Middle East. Our prayers must be constant for our President and his cabinet. Great grace has been upon President Bush and the cabinet, and we must pray that they will not give in to the plans and pressure of the enemies of Israel. How can we join hands with nations that willingly harbor such groups as Hammas and the PLO? Their aim is the extinction and termination of the nation of Israel. Soon we will awake from our delusion that Islam is a peaceful religion. How can a peace-loving religion seek to execute all who wish to leave its ranks? What deception, to brainwash young men into thinking if they die in a holy war they will have earned a place in paradise, with many beautiful virgins to serve them for eternity! Also, the lie is fed to these young men that if they will offer themselves as suicide bombers, slaughtering as many non-Muslims as possible, they will earn redemption for all their family members and assure them a place in paradise. It is time for the truth to be told: Radical Islam is the most oppressive and deadly religion on earth today. The butchery seen in many nations across the world can be traced to radical Islamic doctrine. We must not buy the "spin" that Satan is putting on this. We are at war with foes who seek to destroy all who do not follow their religious beliefs. Our nation is about to see that "blood
is thicker than oil." There is an ancient bond between these Arab nations that goes
much deeper than most of us are willing to believe. They will join together to the death
in order to advance radical Islam and defeat its foes. The battle of the ages is this:
Whose seed is heir to the promise? Isaac or Ishmael stand in stark contrast, one
representing the promise of God, the other the plan of man. THERE IS AN ETERNAL DIFFERENCE! However, the line must be drawn. We cannot allow the legitimizing of false gods and the presenting of a crooked path. Remember that Jesus said, "Straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to eternal life and few there be who find it" (Matthew 7:13-15). This is no time to join our voices with false prophets who call evil good. Jesus warned that people will come to us in sheep’s clothing, but down deep their hearts and motives will be those of a ravenous wolf. The Bible also warns that if the light in us as believers is dark, the darkness in the surrounding culture will be incredibly deep and dense. Something is amiss when we think that Allah is the same ‘god’ as the Holy God of the Scriptures. The truth is that the prayers of Hindus, Muslims and mystics—along with any other false religious leaders—are falling upon ears that cannot hear and hands that cannot help. Now is not a time to compromise, but rather a time to speak the truth in love. Our message must be clear and our faith defended. We dare not fall prey to the curse of compromise because of this crisis. We are given clear instructions in 1 Timothy 2:5-6: "For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time." There is no one who can bridge the chasm between man and God but the Son of God, Christ Jesus. It has been said that all roads lead to Rome. However, be very sure that all religions do not lead to the God of the Bible. "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death" (Proverbs 4:12). There is only one way, and that is God’s way. Christ Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6). The difference between Christianity and Islam is fundamentally this: our belief that Christ Jesus is the only begotten Son of Almighty God. One must believe that Christ Jesus is God manifested in flesh. Muslims concede that Jesus is a prophet—but that is not enough. Christ is all He claimed to be, or nothing He claimed to be. "For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ" (1 Corinthians 3:11). Jesus said, "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God" (John 3:14-21). It was not merely a suggestion when Christ stated, "You must be born again" (John 3:3). John 3:35-36 says, "The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." The apostle John likewise writes: "If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son. He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God" (1 John 5:9-13). "I, even I, am the LORD, and besides Me there is no savior" (Isaiah 43:11). "Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shall know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me" (Hosea 13:4, KJV). Seek the Lord with all your heart.
