  • Why are Muslim silence on Justice?

    This is an article published to the editor to the OC Register newspaper, Ca. USA, Sept 60, 2010

    Dear Mr. Hussam Ayloush of the Council of American-Islamic Relations. You accuse me

    and many other Americans of being ignorantly unaware of your social plight as a Muslim.

    Here is what I am aware of your silence.

    Where were your indignant voices of protest when the USS Cole as attacked by the Muslim? Or, on 9/11, when the World Trade Center came down? Or as this national graveyard lay broken and smoldering; words of protest when scenes of wild jubilation in the streets of Muslim nations appeared on millions of television screens across the world?

    Or, the Fatwas issued against Salman Rushdie and the Danish cartoonist (or any other “infidel” as defined by your religious leaders)? Where are you words of shame when Muslim families send their young people, with explosives strapped to their bodies, into throngs of innocent unsuspecting people? Or, the practice of “honor killings,” of one’s own daughters? Or, the stoning perceived offenders as we have today

    Though Muslims have been strangely silent these past 10 years on these issues, they haven been idle. They’ve been busy becoming bullies a UC Irvine and other venues around Orange County, including intolerance evident by rude behavior toward and invited, honorable speaker on campus. This incident, coupled with numerous complaints of abuse toward other Jewish students, do not enhance your image. No, I am not Jewish. I also am not blind or deaf. Muslims have told us who they really are.

    It is no wonder that I, and a majority of Americans ( consult many polls on this subject ), objest to the proposed Mosque as near the virtual graveyard of thousands of our fellow Americans. We are aware of your ethnic pride in erecting structures, symbolic or your religion, on or near the site of what you consider as “conquered” territory. Not this time, sir. We will resist you every step ot the Way.

  • Why do many women have apostasy against the Word of God.?

    I recently sent a question to women regarding abortion of the unborn child. It is appalling that many women approve their right to abort an unborn child. Some of their replies are displayed:

    1. "Against God's Law" since when is abortion a religious issue and not a personal one?

    2. No-one can obey any of God's laws.

    3. I say the poor little baby's most dangerous place to be anymore is the womb!! :(

    4. Life begins at birth, and not before. Sometimes the soul doesn't enter the body for days after birth, but having a soul doesn't start life.

    5. My opinion is that god doesn't have much of a say in what I do with my body.

    6. There is no soul, no Heaven either.

    7. What your god says is irrelevant to me. :)

    8. And in the USA, we are supposed to have a secular government, so that we may ALL have equal rights, not just those who follow the majority religions.

    The replies are a good indication of God’s wrath upon women of today for abortion. Cancer and HIV are two incurable diseases. Four more incurable diseases; each one worst than the last; are yet come. They are for the consequences of our offenses against God.

  • Do most Women think Abortion of the unborn is not against God's Laws?

    Today, there’s an estimated number of 50k unborn children aborted by their mothers, every year; throughout the world. Society has given women many reasons to abort their unborn children: Rape; Incest; Personal Health and disfigured children. In light of the new Healthcare Bill just passed by congress, which will pay for abortions here in the USA, we may see more abortions.

    We as Christians are reminded in the Holy Scriptures, that every person born in this earth was a living soul in heaven, before the world was created. God knows each and everyone of us, before we were born. Moreover, He has destined each and everyone for a purpose in this world. Therefore, the killing of an unborn is against His plan. Moreover, it is written in the Commandments of God “ Thou shall not kill.” What is your opinion?

  • Why is reading the Bible a temporary grace, but acting on the Sacred Word, is eternal?

    The Bible is written in 47 books. The gift of the Holy Spirit, which assisted the human author to write a book so that it has God as it’s author and teaches faithfully, without error, the saving truth, that God has willed it to be consigned to us. Therefore, Jesus said

    “ Whoever rejects me and does not accept my words that I spoke, it will judge him: the word that I spoke, it will condemn him on the last day, because I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life. So, what I say, I say as the Father told me” JC 13, 48-50

    With this passage in mind, we can accept or reject the words Jesus spoke. So, if we say, that we believe the spoken words of Jesus, why do some people reject the words of Jesus, when He spoke, “ Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise on the last day.” Jn 6, 54-56.

    I would honestly think that people would reconsider their position and ask: Where can I get the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ?

    Please reply only, with your comments as to why you do or do not believe Jn 6, 54-56

  • Why do Protestants read the Bible, but do not accept the truth?

    Question: Why do all Bible reading Protestants, who profess their ways of obtaining salvation is the only correct method? When, it is distinctly written in the Gospels, that the only way, for the redemption and salvation of our souls for eternal life is by our acceptance of Baptism, Absolution of sins and the eating of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.

    Sacrament of Baptism was made, for all the Jews and gentiles, when Jesus Christ said to His Disciples “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. ‘ Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. ‘ And behold I am with you always, until the end of age” Mat. 28, 18-20

    The Sacrament of Reconciliation, was made to absolve our Sins, This Sacrament was created when Jesus Christ said “ Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you. ‘And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them ‘ Receive the Holy Spirit, Whose sins you forgive are forgiven and those sins retain are retained” Jn 20, 21-23

    Today, Catholics are absolved from their sins, when we disclose and repent all our sins, before the presence of the Catholic Priest.

    The Sacrament of the Eucharist was made for us to be in communion with Our Lord, Jesus. In His message before the crowd “ I am the living bread that came from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I give is my flesh for the life of the world.” Jn 6, 48-51 Again He said “ Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise on the last day.” Jn 6, 54-56. Therefore on the last supper He took the bread, said the blessing, broke it and gave it to them, saying, “ This is my Body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me. And likewise took the cup of wine, after they had eaten , saying “ This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you” Lk 22, 19-20.

    Today, at every Mass throughout the World this same Sacrifice of bread and wine is made into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ as he commanded our Priest to perform.

    In light of what is written in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, why have all the Protestant denominations ignored these passages of the Bible and removed themselves from the only true way for Salvation of our souls?
