“Internet is the greatest threat to Christians”

This is a warning from apologist Josh McDowell from Campus Crusade for Christ International.

Josh McDowells warns Christians about the dangers of porn on the Internet.

This is what is recored in Christian Post:

“The Internet has given atheists, agnostics, skeptics, the people who like to destroy everything that you and I believe, the almost equal access to your kids as your youth pastor and you have… whether you like it or not,” said McDowell, who is author of two books on Christian apologetics, More than a Carpenter and New Evidence that Demands Verdict.

The belief or worldview, McDowell said, forms values, which in turn drive one’s behavior. The worldview “is where we are falling down the most anywhere in the world.” So what is the prevalent worldview in America today?

“There is no truth apart from myself,” that’s what even many young “evangelical, fundamental, born-again Christians” believe, he said.

The Campus Crusade staff also said around 90 percent of the 16-year-olds, according to the latest statistics, had viewed pornography. And 80 percent of 15- to 17-year-olds had had exposure to hardcore pornography.

My comment:

Being the author and a co-editor of a blog, I would be one of the culprits. Because I distribute my message on the Internet.

It is possible to use the Internet as a tool to spread the gospel. Its also possible to spread porn on the net. Just like it always has been. The porn industry has never been banned from using peoples analog mail boxes, or news magazine stores.

What is the solution?

The Holy Spirit. If we have not received the Holy Spirit, we do not have the councilor in our heart. It is His job to warn us about sin, and convict us that clicking into a porn site is not permitted.

  John 16:7-9
But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin, because people do not believe in me;

Obedient Christians have always been enabled by Him, to resist all the temptation of the World.

Internet makes no difference in regards to temptations at our fingertips.

Erdogan threaten to enter Gaza to intimidate Israel

The PM of Turkey threaten to visit Gaza unless J’lem apologizes for raid.

PM Erdogan of Turkey has great influence on his Muslim friend, Barack Hussein Obama.

Turkish PM threatens to deepen rift with Israel over flotilla affair unless J’lem meets list of demands for reconciliation, according to ‘Hurriyet.’

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that he will travel to Gaza if Israel does not apologize to Turkey for last year’s Gaza flotilla raid, Turkish daily Hurriyet reported Wednesday.

Erdogan made the statement while on his way to northern Cyprus where he addressed his intent to strike a peace deal between the Greek and Turkish sides of the island nation, according to the report.

My comment:

The Turkish PM should enter Gaza to support Hamas, regardless if Israel apologize or not. Because Erdogan is a Radical Islamist, who should be with the flock who believe violence is the way forward for Islam.

 Psalm 74:22
Rise up, O God, and defend your cause; remember how fools mock you all day long.

The Turkish PM is not a democrat, nor a supporter of Human rights.  His threat to boycott the European Union when Cypress take over the Chairmanship, is another exposure of the Islamist that run the Prime Minister;s office in Ankara.

Foolish Florida Church put up sign board with «Islam is of the Devil»

Christians and non-Christians alike are protesting a sign posted by a Florida church that equates Islam with the work of the devil.

Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville in Florida posted a sign early this week. Pastor Terry Jones told local news station WCJB that although most people consider the sign a message of hate, his church sees it as a «message of awareness, of opportunity to talk and to rethink»

He also said the sign is the church’s way of expressing love to Muslims by informing them that Christianity is the only way to heaven, according to The Gainesville Sun. Jones says Islam is deceptive in presenting itself as a religion of peace.

Local residents, however, have reacted with shock and have staged protests outside the church.

Is suicide bombers and expression of the love of God

«I was really shocked to see «Islam is of the devil’ on their sign» said Brandon Schneider to the local Action News station. «I’m Jewish but I still take offense to that».

Muslim American Shahnaz Haghanifar said the sign creates hate. Even a member of First Baptist Church of Alachua called the sign a «persecution of religion».

Despite the protests, Jones said his church does not plan to take down the sign and intends to put up even more signs addressing other hot-button issues like abortion and same-sex marriage.

According to city officials, the church is permitted to keep the sign’s message up if it makes the sign smaller and places it lower to the ground.

Church staffs have thanked protesters for drawing attention to the sign and the church.Dove World Outreach Center is a charismatic, non-denominational church founded in 1986, according to the church’s website. It is actively involved in the community, helping to feed and clothe the local poor.

My comment:

Many Charismatic Churches does a lot of strange and foolish things. You cant explain the truth to a Muslim, by setting up a sign board in a garden, telling them that God does not love them?

Muslim ladies using their freedom to express their love for their god.

Its better to tell them that Islam came into existence 600 years after Jesus had died and resurrected, and 200 year after the Canon of the Bible had been closed. If the Koran is a final and better revelation from «god», that the Bible who claim to be the infallible Word of God, is a complete falsehood.

In the Koran, the name of Abrahams son «Isaac» has been deleted. In Islam there is no covenant between God and Isaac. According to Muslim traditions, the land of Canaan was given to Ishmael, and his sons and daughters. This is the reason behind six Arab wars to try to claim Eretz Israel from the Jewish people. Arabs have become victims of a spiritual battle between the father of all lies and the God of truth, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel.

The Koran tells us that «Jesus» was only a Palestinian prophet. In Islam there is no God the Son, born in flesh by a Jewish mother who named him «Y´shua». If the Koran is correct, Jesus of Nazareth was not divine. Because the Koran explains to us that Allah has no begotten Son.

If we tell a Muslim that Islam is the truth, than we become liars. If we tell one single Muslim that faithfulness to Islam can bring him into the Kingdom of Heaven, than we become children of the devil.

Is it wise to put up a sign on a public lawn, telling in public that Islam is from the devil?

Well, Jesus did not put up any sign boards in public. But once He threw people out of the Temple in Jerusalem. He also told wicked people in public that they were brood of wipers, son of the devil, even whitewashed tombs.

I guess, when you start to walk in his likeness, you will do what is required to make people understand the truth. If you have been a student of Jesus for more than ten years, and do not have the guts to tell the Muslims the truth, you are a complete failure.

If you really love a Muslim, you will tell him the truth.That he can only be saved by Jesus God the Son. He loves all the Muslims. He wants them to pray in His name, and obey Him.

Behold, claimed to be Christians in Florida. Please read:

1 Corinthians 13:3
If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Please keep this in mind, if some Muslims comes and burn down your church.
