Culture America

     Well to began with I am sure people will not like everything I say on this subject, but it needs to be part of the general discussion.

     I read a post from a Dear friend today on Facebook, and found that in the concept she was right on about the state of our children today. I know most of you who grew up in the 60s and 70s heard this very statement, I walked 5 miles to school and was working when I was 10. Also when they had gotten into trouble the parent at the time disciplined the children, and that in turn thought  them right from wrong. They never medicated them, with unheard of physiological disorders. Most of these disorders today are made up to sell high priced medicines. You never heard of mass shooting in school, even though we had the same access to guns as we do today.

     I seen her point when she pointed out the fact we give our children everything possible and tell them they are never wrong and always number one, no losers. everyone gets a trophy and everyone wins an award. There in lies the problem, they do not know how to lose. They do not know that it is OK to lose. They have no idea that in losing that in-turn teaches them how to change their strategy the next go around.. Also how to make them better when they go at it again.

     The gun culture in this country is not the fault of the gun but of the teacher, the parent. Just as a car accident is not the cars fault but the drivers. Look in the news today and what do you see, wars in just about every country, splashed all over the television 24hrs a day. Video games so violent they have to be rated. Children setting behind these games for hours and days on end. That in-turn changes the way the brain accepts information about death and killing. Most of these games are played by children ages 10 to 21. The age of reasoning. all of that information they learn at that age will imprint on their brain, and if their is no check and or balance there, well the brain is left trying to sort out right from wrong. That is were a good parent comes in. They will explain the difference between real life and a fantasy.

     But the problem with this situation is far greater then just the Parents. Our society has accepted mass death as a curiosity and then it is turned into a 24 hour news cycle of spotting the problem, with everyone having the right idea. And all along we missed the real problem. Family values are gone, fundamental religious values are being destroyed. Families are being replaced by gangs. And our children are being exposed to an unreal world, a fantasy.

     If we do not recognize this we are doomed as a society. The great debate is getting rid of the, everybody wins no one loses. A society cannot learn from that. When we stop learning and thinking we are all great and we never lose, we then become arrogant spoiled narcissistic stereotypes. (You know like our President is). You know beer summits fake tears also fake religions beliefs, and so on.
(Example) Bill Clinton gets a sexual favor in the White House that he says is not sex, and our children now think just like that, it's not sex because he did it.

     I know we say take back our country, but we need to take back our families. People raise families not the government.

Our country today.

     I have for years, and now here lately been wondering just how uninformed the American populous really is. But most of all how people are like a flock of birds, if one of them heads in one direction the others will follow despite the outcome. I see this in the people we elect now a days, their interest is themselves and how they look in front of a camera. But most of all the use that job you give them as a stepping stone to a fortune. Think about it why would someone spend 40 million of their own money for a two year job that pays approx 250 thousand. Are people in this country that uninformed? Yes, because they buy into the lame ass excuses they hear from these same elected officials.

     When it comes to what is, and has been going on lately is plain and simple. We have a man running this country with a 2.3 GPA in college and no understanding of how business works. But wants to supply all of the far left progressives everything they want at any cost. This man has had to answer for nothing. But when you compare what the media said about bush it is apparent their was a big difference, you know words like dumb ass, bumbling idiot, and so forth. And no one yelled racism  in that case at all. But if you are critical of   Obama you are a racist. Double standard or just their way of deflecting stupidly. I believe it is the latter.

     I belive if we are to fix this country we should start by holding the people accountable for what they are doing to this country. They have managed to use words like entitlements, and turn that meaning into a dirty word, while all along 47% of the population is on food stamps and we get it's a safety program. What they do not tell you is that half of those people are illegal, and so are the one's who have taken advantage of social security. I did some research on this and found that even teachers are drawn into the fray. I interviewed one who told me they are given paper work from the parents, that in-turn ask the teacher to say they have a learning disability. And that is how they start their short journey to government money. Hell of a deal, come from another country with nothing and getting some papers signed and then a check for nothing. Hell who would not want to enter the U.S. illegally.  That short journey will land you a life time of benefits. 

    This system as we know it is about to fail. When you hear the words we need another stimulus package to get on the road to recovery and the country falls for it. It will all come crashing down. How much more money do you think China will loan us before they call in our debt? Their sole purpose is to dethrone the U.S. and if we keep going down this path they will, sooner than later.

     If we do not start to turn this country back in the right direction we will fail. Period!!!! If you want to understand your future understand your past

In America

I have been setting here wondering why someone would call me a racist because I call into question the Susan Rice story, makes no sense. It seems that everyone that questions this administration is somehow a racist. Not withstanding the fact the people in charge of this country are people of color, I guess will not give me or anyone the right to ask questions. Because if you do you are somehow a racist. We have a black President, I think racism is kind of or should be out of the question. But it is not. I think Susan Rice shouldered a massive screw up by the President, and now is trying to back out of it. Think about it who wants to question the intentions a black woman who was told what to say, and how to explain the screw up. It kind of makes you wonder where was Hillary? Oh that's right she's white, the press would have crucified her. "You know like they did in 2008" Labeling her and Bill as a racist. So why is it that we have to dance around subjects in this country when your elected officials are black. It is guilt, pressed upon you from years of being told that every thing that is wrong in black America is white America's fault. Susan Rice put herself in this position, she should answer the questions without screaming racism, all of this will come out sooner or later. The President tried and so far got away with a lie and 4 Americans have died .  He had waved his banner of winning the war on terror, and it bit him in the ass. And to cover it up he sent a lamb to be slaughtered so he could stay in power. This will become a huge cover-up before it is over. It has nothing to do with color just incompetence and power. When will it be OK to judge a person's intention on their merits, not on the color of their skin. The way they make it look, if you screw up, it must be because the person is black, unless black people are never wrong. You see how asinine this all really sounds.

     I see what is coming to this country, and it makes me worry about my kids and grandkids. Schools are lost when teaching our children how to be good citizens. It used to be god,math,pledge,fun,learning. Now it is style,clicks,gangs,drugs,and kids dumb as rocks. Oh, I forgot the big one 14 year old pregnant girls. Witch in-turn become a burden on the state. We have lost our moral compass in this country, if we do not change this soon it is going to be to late.

     When the people of a country stand by and say or do nothing, the original ideas of that country fall. This then is the last gasp of a dying nation.

Allah has pagan beginnings

The Black Meteor inside the Kaba

aka: Ka'bah aka: kabah

The stone has been attacked many times and is now composed of several pieces and fragments, bound together by a silver ligature.

Pre-Islamic history tells us that many Arabian tribes were stone worshippers.  This is also mentioned in Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol 5, #661.  The Old Testament also talks about Mideast pagan groups that worshipped stones.

When Muhammad was born in Mecca, each Arab tribe in Mecca had their own deity.  There was a large black meteor found in the desert which many Arabs believed was sent to them by astral deities.  This rock was placed in the southeast corner of the cube-shaped structure in Mecca.  The arabs knew this rock as the Ka'ba, which means stone.  The black rock's diameter is about 12 inches.  It is reddish black in color, and has red and yellow particles. During this time before Islam this stone was part of the shrine to worship of a chief male god (among over 360 other gods) who was known as Hubal.  The black meteor stone was said to symbolize a nature god known as al-Hajar al-Aswad.  Hubal was an oracular deity whose statue -- in human form and made of red carneol -- stood in the Ka'ba until Muhammad destroyed it.  The Kaba is about 50 feet high, and the walls are about 40 feet long.  The facade contains the door, which starts at 7 feet off the ground, and faces N.E.. To enter the Kaba, a ladder must be used.  Also built in the eastern corner, is another stone called "lucky".  This stone is only touched, not kissed.  Pagans called out the names of their pagan gods as they circled the Kaba the same as Muslims do today, calling out Allah's name.  Early Meccan Pagans also ran between the nearby hills. Muhammad authorized Muslims to do that in the Quran, and Muhammad probably ran between the hills himself. So, even before Muhammad pagans were worshipping this black stone in the Kaba.  Are we surprised that although Muhammad  proclaimed only one God, he continued to participate in idol worship at this pagan shrine (Kaba); and Muslims still do idol worship there today?  The black stone of Ka'aba is nothing but a holdover within Islam, from pre-Islamic paganism.

There is evidence that black stones were commonly worshipped in the Arab world.  In 190 A.D. Clement of Alexandria mentioned that "the Arabs worship stone".  He was alluding to the black stone of Dusares at Petra.  In the 2nd century, Maximus Tyrius wrote; "The Arabians pay homage to I know not what god, which they represent by a quadrangular stone".  Maximus was speaking of the Kaaba (Ka'ba) that contains the Black Stone.

The Qurash (aka: Quraish) tribe which Muhammad belonged to was in charge of idol worship at the Ka'ba Shrine.  The chief god of Muhammad's tribe was one of the three sister goddesses called al-Uzza, the youngest of the three daughters of the pre-Islamic Allah and the patron goddess of Mecca.  Her name means "the mighty one".  The other two were named "al-Lat and "al-Manat".  It was only by chance that a fortune teller counseled Muhammad's grandfather against sacrificing Muhammad's father to this al-Uzza pagan diety.  The head of these pagan, animalistic deities was "Al-llah".  It is believed that "al-llah" in Muhammad's time before Islam referred to a vague moon god and that Muhammad believed that al-Uzza was a daughter of this "al-llah". 

The Qurash tribe's Allah corresponded to the god Bel, which is another name of the Assyrio-Babylonian gods En-lil and Marduk. It has the same meaning as Baal.  The Arabic today translates the word Allah as "the God".  Muhammad's father's name was Abd Allāh ibn ‘Abd al-Mullalib.  "Abd-Allah" means slave of Allah.   When Muhammad says there is only one god - Allah - now you have an idea what his background / thinking was; and who this Allah actually is. Muhammad sincerely believed in the power of this black meteorite. So much so, that he made it a the central point of Hajj (pilgrimage) to Mecca. The Hajj ends with everyone kissing this black stone as a devotion to Allah.

                                                                             Salman Rusdie

Salman was born into a Muslim family in Mumbai in 1947

Of note: in 1988, Salman Rushdie's novel "Satanic Verses" contained the above as the basis for that book.  This book led Ayatollah Khomeni to offer a $3 million bounty on the Muslim Salman Rushdie.  But Salman Rushdie did not lie about Islam's early Satanic beginning!  He merely reported the truth. And truth is something Islam cannot tolerate.  Salman Rusdie was knighted by the British queen in June 2007.

Would a true Prophet make any exception to Monotheism (belief in only one God)?

During the early stages of Islam, Muhammad was frustrated in his attempts to win over Mecca's merchants and other powerful people, who were all polytheists (believe in many gods). Finally he relented on his hitherto uncompromising monotheism and stated that it was permitted for the pagan gods of Mecca --specifically, three female deities named al-Lat, al-Uzza, and Manat --to intercede before Allah for the people. According to Islamic tradition, Satan took advantage of Muhammad's desire for reconciliation and "put upon his tongue" as a revelation from Allah this rhetorical question and answer: "Uzza and Manat, the third, the other"?  These are the exalted Gharaniq (cranes) whose intercession is approved." The pagan members of Muhammad's tribe, the Quraysh, were pleased; they prostrated themselves before their gods as the Muslims were prostrating themselves before Allah, and went out saying, "Muhammad has spoken of our god in splendid fashion."

How did Muhammad get out of this mess? Just as you would expect. "Miraculously" and conveniently, Gabriel came to Muhammad and and gave a new Surah (22:51) which says that Satan routinely tampers with the messages of the prophets. Reference: Page 69, "Inside Islam, A Guide for Catholics"

The Suyuti says in Asbab of the Nuzul (page 184):

"Muhammad was in Mecca. He read the chapter of the Star. When he uttered, ‘Have you seen the Lat, the ’Uzza, and the other third Manat?’, Satan instilled in his tongue, ‘These are the exulted idols (daughters of God) whose intercession is hoped.’ The infidels said that Muhammad had mentioned their gods with good words. Then when he prostrated, they prostrated, too. Thus, the above verse 22:52 was not inspired."

On page 282 of the Commentary of the Jalalan, we read the same interpretation, and the Jalalan added,

"Gabriel came to Muhammad after that and told him that Satan had thrust these words into his tongue. Muhammad became sad, then Gabriel delivered this verse to him to comfort him."

In his book, "The Kash-shaf’, the Zamakh-shari (A.D.1144) (part 3, pages 164 and 165), asserts that,

"This episode which Muhammad experienced is common knowledge and unquestionable, and is related to us by the companions of Muhammad."

In short, this Allah is not the God of the Jews or the Christians.  Allah is in fact a Meccan Moon god idol. To confess that Allah is the same God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses is to deny Yahweh (I Am), who is revealed in the Lord Jesus the Christ!

The standard of judgment for the God of the Qur'an is that our good deeds (to Muslims only) must outweigh our bad deeds (Suras 7:8-9; 21:47); but the standard of the God of the true Bible is nothing less than complete perfection as measured by the holy character of God (Matthew 5:48; Romans 3:23). 

Since nobody can attain perfection, God sent His only Son as a substitute atonement (korban) so that those who believe and trust in Jesus, although imperfect ourselves--will have eternal life.  In short, did a marvelous thing that shows He loves us.  God Himself (Yeshua/Jesus) was the only perfect sacrifice to this dilemma.

Two important attributes of Yahweh (I am/Jesus) is that God is both just and merciful.  Muslims Often ask me -How can God die on a cross?  When they should be asking; "Why did God suffer and die on a cross"? 

Muslim activists in the West have been using the tactic of claiming that they worship the same god as the Christians in order to gain legitimacy and acceptance. They have been using the name "God" in place of "Allah" in many translations of the Qur'an.

Satanic lie: Good deeds will get you to heaven.  Truth: The wages of sin/any sin are death.

Islam is very much a deeds-based religion where God is keeping score. For Muslims, good deeds go on one side of God's ledger, and bad deeds go on the other side. Islam says that on the day of resurrection, each person's ledger will be balanced. Assuming that all of the other basic qualifications were met during life (i.e., the 'Pillars of Islam'), if the person's good outweighs the bad: Paradise. If the bad outweighs the good: Hell. It's just that simple. NO Muslim ever knows if they are destined to rot in hell forever.  Muhammad said he was unsure himself if he would go to heaven or hell.

The real God has made it all simpler than this false deed-based system.  But it requires you believe something with your whole heart.  This may require you leaving your family and/or friends.  But, your eternal life, and where you spend eternity demands it.

You have to accept the Son of God's substitutional atonement of your sins.

John 3:16 - 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.

You only have to ask Jesus and He will save you.

Only in Jesus do we have a promise for life. Jesus said; "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me, even if he dies, will live" (John 11:25)

Islam says the God of the Qur'an provided a messenger, Muhammad, who warned of Allah's impending judgment (Suras 2:119; 5:19; 7:184, 188; 15:89-90) and who declared that "No bearer of a burden can bear the burden of another" (Suras 17:15; 35:18, Ali); but the God of the Bible provided a sinless Savior, Jesus, who took our sins upon himself and bore God's wrath in our stead (Matthew 20:28; 26:28; Luke 22:37; John 3:16; 10:9-11; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 3:13; 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10).

Interesting enough.  Jesus and Mary were among the many images—in addition to the goddesses of fertility and power—worshiped at the Ka'bah during Muhammad's day.  Early stories of Muhammad relate how when he entered Mecca in triumph he ordered the destruction of all idols and images. But, when he came upon a picture of the Virgin Mary and the Child Jesus inside the Ka'bah he reverently covered this icon with his cloak. He ordered all other images to be destroyed, and that the image of the Madonna and Child was to be looked upon as sacred.

One Muslim myth, concerning the Kaba, is that anyone who prays under the Kaba's water-pipe becomes as pure as on the day when his mother bore him.  Muslims have a hard time accepting the Christ's atonement even though it is there clear as day in all 4 Gospels that Muhammad validated, but Muslims will allow for total forgiveness of sins by uttering a prayer under a spout! Who is being deceived?

Islam's dilemma about Mary, the earthly mother of Jesus & the divinity of Jesus

Islam's high regard for Mary is rooted in various texts of the Koran (Qur'an), including the following: "Behold! the angels said: 'O Mary! Allah has chosen you above the women of all nations'" (Surah 3:42).  The purity of Mary in Islamic thought is equated with sinlessness.  The Qur'an even affirms the Virgin Birth of Jesus, echoing Mary's response to the angel Gabriel from Luke's Gospel: "She said: 'O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?'" (Surah 3:47).  Muslim theologians, however, do not explore the implications of Mary's sinlessness or the Virgin Birth.  They do not want to pursue a line of thought that might lead to the affirmation that Jesus was divine, a very disturbing conclusion for the Muslim. 

Add this dilemma about Mary to the fact that the Qur'an confused the sister of Moses by implication (Miriam) with Mary (lived 1500 yrs apart), the mother of Jesus 3 times --and one needs to seriously question Islam's and its Allah's credibility.  Also, remember, Muhammad seemed to think that Jesus was Moses' nephew, the son of Moses' sister Mariam.
