Islam jämbördigt med kristen tro?

Thomas Söderhjelm utlägger varför Islam omöjligen
kan ses som något jämbördigt med den kristna tron på
Jesus Kristus som Guds Son och judarnas ännu ej
upptäckte Messias.

Urkyrkan var öppen för nya, men ställde krav

Tony Larsdal, präst och bibelöversättare, har sökt svar
i bibelns NT hur den första församlingen välkomnade
nya i gemenskapen.

Tony frågar sig om det var en helt tröskellös integration
i församlingen som ibland förespråkas i dag, eller om det
fanns förväntningar på de som vill bli en del av församlingen.

Isaiah 53:2-10, The Jesus Prophecy

This Mighty prophecy from the Book of Isaiah,
which you find in the Bibles Old Covenant texts,
was written down about 600-700 years before it
was actually fullfilled. It describes what Jesus
did and experienced on the cross - for our sake.

The translation is modernized in it´s language,
and captures the original message very well.

Isaiah 53:2-10
"He was always close to the Lord. He grew up
like a young plant, like a root growing in dry
ground. There was nothing special or impres-
sive about the way he looked, nothing we could
see that would cause us to like him. People
made fun of him, and even his friends left him.
He was a man who suffered a lot of pain and
sickness. We treated him like someone of no
importance, like someone people will not even
look at but turn away from in disgust.

The fact is, it was our suffering he took on him-
self; he bore our pain. But we thought that God
was punishing him, that God was beating him
for something he did. But he was being punished
for what we did. He was crushed because of our
guilt. He took the punishment we deserved, and
this brought us peace. We were healed because
of his pain.

We had all wandered away like sheep. We had
gone our own way. And yet the Lord put all our
guilt on him. He was treated badly, but he never
protested. He said nothing, like a lamb being led
way to be killed. He was like a sheep that makes
no sound as its wool is being cut off. He never
opened his mouth to defend himself.

He was taken away by force and judged unfairly.
The people of his time did not even notice that he
was killed. But he was put to death for the sins of
his people. He had done no wrong to anyone. He
had never even told a lie. But he was buried
among the wicked. His tomb was with the rich.
But the Lord was pleased with this humble
servant who suffered such pain."

Islamic view of Mary

In Islam Mary and Jesus are recognized as being very special persons.
Islam even Think that Maryam (Mary) was a Virgin all the way until
Jesus was born.

But within Islam you find the following very important differences
in view;

1/ Jesus was not the Son of God, even though Islam recognizes a very
    special conception and Mary being a Virgin at the birth of Jesus.

2/ Mary was a Virgin all  her Life.

3/ Mary was not betrothed to Joseph. If she would have been, then she
    would have denied Joseph the marriage rights. In the Culture at that
    time the betrothing was as strong as marriage. The betrothing was the
    start of the marriage process, and you did not betroth if you had not
    yet decided to marry.

4/ Jesus had no Brothers. Even though the Bible tell so.

5/ Mary (the virgin) will  become the wife of Muhammed in heaven.

You can read about these beliefs in the article in following link,
written by a muslim faith teacher;

http://seekershub.org/ans-blog/2011/02/09/what-is-the-islamic-understanding-of-maryam-the-mother-of-prophet-isa-being-married/

We can see how Close the Catholic theology is to the muslim
theology. Mary being a Virgin all her Life. Mary having an out-
standing position; In Catholicism being the Queen of heaven, in
Islam being a Virgin throughout her life, worthy to become bride
to Muhammed.

This gives me an understanding of why the dark powers want to promote
the Catholic Picture of Mary within Christianity:

1/ So that interreligion can easier be established in the endtime.
2/ To promote the Antichrist worldwide kingdom of false Peace the
    few years before the true king, Jesus Christ, arrives the Earth to
    establish his Kingdom of Rightiousness and true Peace.

The Bible tells us that:
1/ Mary was betrothed to Joseph even Before the angel appeared to
    her and told her what was going to happen.
2/ Joseph should not fear to take Mary to be his wife, and so he did.
3/ after Jesus was born, their marriage was consummated like any
    other normal marriage and they lived a normal and blessed Life
    as man and wife! Read for yourself in Matt 1:25.
4/ Jesus was not just born by a Virgin, and he was not just a special
    prophet. He was, is and will Always be the Son of God.
5/ Jesus had brethren. This is told in many places in the Bible.
6/ Jesus tells Mary that even through her hearth there was going to
    be a sword. She was not extra holy, she was not perfect, she
    became rightious by faith in Jesus and needed to be fostered by
    the Holy Spirit just like we all need.
7/ in heaven men do not take wifes. Told to us by Jesus himself.

New Age is crap - Jesus is the real deal

Listen to this strong testimony from a guy that was deeply involved
in the New Age lies, and was misleading others. He got a revelation
of Jesus Christ and today he lives 100% for Jesus.

Palestinian refugees - whose responsibility?

The today Western world with journalists, and Christians
in particular, need to understand the full history behind the
todays conflict between the so called Palestine and Israel.

If you have not educated yourself by laying an objective
historical ground to this conflict, you will be a very easy
pray in the debate of which part is right in its claims and
which part is wrong.

Below is a link to a News article in Israel Hayom, the
article describes the background to todays palestinian
refugee situation.

The alchemy of Palestinian nationhood

Interesting article. Not many voices Heard today in this question
take into account the full background, and the history - how and
from where Everything actually evolved.

Have the evil motives behind the shout for a Palestinian State
changed and are today more noble?
