Apocalyptic Hope

Below is a summary of the Judeo-Christian ethic of justice based upon the Holy Bible compared with the Islamic concept of "Sharia Law" found in the Koran (Quran).

Also below is a comparison of the after-life for the Judeo-Christian versus that of the Moslem.

The comparisons speak for themselves.


JUDEO - CHRISTIAN JUSTICE

The question is not that of whether there should be capital punishment....
the question is : by what standards do we judge ?

All our American democratic laws were once based upon the Judeo-Christian ethic.

Revealed by God Himself upon Mt. Sinai, the law was given to the Jewish nation. The law was to be interpreted by the prophets and priests, and dispensed by the government.

The greatest Prophet--Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the Son of God--- taught the law by His very lifestyle, and He has given us His Holy Spirit to discern justice in these days. That is why Pentecost represents both the Law given and the Holy Spirit given. The two must work together. Both the Law and the Spirit were given on the same commemorative day.

There can be no true justice without discernment, wisdom, knowledge, good judgement, understanding, perception and all the many enlightenments given by the Holy Ghost.
Without that enlightenment, there is only arbitrariness, technicalities and bribes in courtrooms.

Generations ago here in America, people swore "to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" with their left hand on the Holy Bible and their right hand raised to the Almighty, while ending with:"so help me God".

Today there is neither a Bible in hand or the phrase "so help me God" in our courtrooms. Nor is there a posting of the 10 commandments---the standard of judgement, revealed by God Himself.

How can there be justice ?


SHARIA LAW
the "laws" of the Koran :

[5.51] O you who believe!do not take the JEWS and the CHRISTIANS for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.

[Koran 5.33] The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His apostle and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that
they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement,

2.191]
And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter,and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers.

[8.65] O Prophet! urge the believers to war;
if there are twenty patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a hundred of you they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they are a people who do not understand.

[9.5]So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.


[9.73]O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination.

[8.12] When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe.
I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.

[9.29] Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.

[8.39] And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah; but if they desist, then surely Allah sees what they do.

[62.6] Say: O you who are
JEWS,if you think that you are the favorites of Allah to the exclusion of other people, then INVOKE DEATH If you are truthful.

[24.32] And marry those among you who are single and those who are fit among
your male SLAVES and your female SLAVES; if they are needy, Allah will make them free from want out of His grace; and Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing.

[4.15] And as for those who are guilty of an indecency from among your women, call to witnesses against them four (witnesses) from among you; then if they bear witness confine them to the houses until
DEATH takes them away or Allah opens some way for them.

[4.34] Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and
BEAT THEM; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.

[24.4] And those who accuse free women then do not bring four witnesses,
FLOG THEM, (giving) eighty stripes, and do not admit any evidence from them ever; and these it is that are the transgressors.

[2.111] And they say: None shall enter the garden (or paradise) except he who is a Jew or a Christian. These are their vain desires. Say:
Bring your proof if you are truthful.

Ben Laden calls on all Quran believers:
Observer Worldview Sunday November 24, 2002


In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
"Permission to fight (against disbelievers) is given to those (believers) who are fought against, because they have been wronged and surely, Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory"
[Quran 22:39]
"Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghut (anything worshipped other than Allah e.g. Satan). So fight you against the friends of Satan; ever feeble is indeed the plot of Satan."
[Quran 4:76]
http://www.observer.co.uk/worldview/story/0,11581,845725,00.html

As you can see from the above, these words apply to all who believe in the Koran
...all Moslems. Not just al-Quida.

"'How shall I bear a child,' she [Mary] answered, 'when I am a virgin...?' 'Such is the will of the Lord,' he replied. 'That is no difficult thing for Him...God forbid that He [God[ Himself should beget a son!...Those who say: 'The Lord of Mercy has begotten a son,' preach a monstrous falsehood..." (Surah 19:12-, 29-, 88)

"Muhammad is God's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another." (Surah 48:29)

"When you meet the unbelievers in jihad [holy war], chop off their heads. And when you have brought them low, bind your prisoners rigorously. Then set them free or take ransom from them until the war is ended." (Koran, 47:40)

"The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and his messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be to be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet and genitals cut off, or to be expelled out of the land. Such will be their humiliation in the world, and in the next world they will face an awful horror." (Koran, 5:33-34)

After-Life for the Moslems
(appealing to both the heterosexual and the homosexual......
Why Isalm is the fastest growing religion on the planet )

The righteous shall return to a blessed retreat: the gardens of Eden, whose gates shall open wide to receive them. Reclining there with bashful virgins for companions, they will call for abundant fruit and drink. Q 38:51-2

On that day [the unbelievers] shall be sternly thrown into the fire of Hell . . . But in fair gardens the righteous shall dwell in bliss, rejoicing in what their Lord will give them. Their Lord will shield them from the scourge of Hell. He will say: Eat and drink to your hearts content. This is the reward of your labours.

They shall recline on couches ranged in rows. To dark-eyed houris [virgin girls] We shall wed them. . . . Fruit We shall give them, and such meats as they desire. They will pass from hand to hand a cup inspiring no idle talk, no sinful urge;

and there shall wait on them young boys of their own, as fair as virgin pearls. Q 52:13-24 ... what does this imply ???? besides appealing to homosexuals, this--and other verses--also appeals to bi-sexuals and pedophiles

They shall be served with silver dishes, and beakers as large as goblets; silver goblets which they themselves shall measure: and cups brim-full with ginger-flavoured water from a fount called Salsabil.

They shall be attended by boys graced with eternal youth, who to the beholders eyes will seem like sprinkled pearls. When you gaze upon that scene, you will behold a kingdom blissful and glorious.
Q 76:9-20
.... What does this imply ????

They are to cohabit with demure virgins...as beauteous as corals and rubies...full-breasted maidens for playmates...in the gardens of delight.... They're to lie face to face on jewelled couches,

and be serviced by immortal youths...young boys, their personal property, as comely as virgin pearls....what does this imply ????

We created the houris [dancing girls] and made them virgins, carnal playmates for those on the right hand.... We are going to wed them to dark-eyed houris.
[The Koran 55:56; 55:58; 78:33; 56:12; 52:16-17, 24; 56:35-38; 52:20]

Here we see the Islamic utter hypocrisy in condemning Isioma Daniel and
This day Newspaper in Nigeria over the Miss World contest.
(see Dennis Prager, NIGERIA )

"Blessed are the believers...who restrain their carnal desires (except with their wives and slave-girls, for these are lawful to them)...These are the heirs of Paradise..." (Surah 23:1-5-)

"You shall not force your slave-girls into prostitution in order that you make money, if they wish to preserve their chastity." (Surah 24:33-)

Comment: As one can readily see from the above, sex is the ultimate benefit for the Moslem.

Compare the above with this from Judeo-Christianity:

"Thou shalt guide me with Thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
Whom have I in heaven but Thee ? And there is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee.
My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever."
Psalm 73: 24-26


What is SHARIA LAW ???
Ed. note: Sharia Law is a lifestyle of state-religion. It is government cloaked in an awe given only to God. Sharia Law is arbitrary and punitive, rather than conscientiously deliberated and restorative . Rehabilitation and renewal are not inherent in Sharia Law because those who practice it do not acknowledge a Savior who redeemed the Moslem from the inclination for evil. For them, there is no saving blood of Jesus Christ to restore a fallen person. For them, there is no power of the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ to incline them to renewal, such as expressed in Romans Chapter 8. Therefore the sword "settles" their problems, once and for all.

Is Sharia Applicable today ? ...by Emir Rishawi
Government is a strictly human experiment that may succeed or fail. When we acknowledge this principle from the very beginning, the possibility to correct this attempt will always be there. But the government that rests on religious authority, which is always human government cloaking itself with a supermundane authority, does not correct its mistakes easily, and may invest itself with a sort of inerrancy that prevents it originally from admitting any mistake

Sharia Law executions and judgements in the public square as entertainment
http://ezdragon.cortland.edu/log/sk/sk37/sk37.htm
Ed note: In many Moslem countries, there is no other form of public "entertainment" allowed except for the applying of Sharia Law in view of all.
It is the same here in America. TV is our chief source of entertainment. Yet no family sitcoms exist on TV anymore. Unless the theme centers around vulgarity and murder, there is no other "entertainment" on TV.

One can foresee the day coming when all our sports arenas will be jammed with pagans cheering on the execution of Christians, who will be deemed "terrorists", "dissenters", or "resistors" because of being politically incorrect.
It doesn't take much vision to see the writing on the wall.
