Pray for The Nation (5)
I read that in Kelantan, there are severe penalties for anyone caught trying to share the gospel with Muslims. Likewise in other states there are similar penalties. But there are no reciprocal penalties for a person sharing the Quran with a non-Muslim.
This just shows that the Muslim authorities is scared of the Truth, which is the Word of God. They are scared of its power. But there is nothing they can do. Hallelujah! The gospel has to be preached to every soul before Jesus returns.
I challenge those in authority to be open and find out what the gospel of Jesus Christ is all about. They don't even bother to find out and honestly examine the gospel, but just erect and redefine their prejudices in one way or another.
If a religion, whether it is Buddhism, Islam or whatever, cannot stand up to other "truths", it is literally worth nothing. A teaching that is wary and afraid of the Truths in another teaching cannot be solid. Only way is to prevent the subjects from being exposed to it.
Mohammad acknowledged that the Jews are indeed the chosen ones of God, but they messed up so God chose the Christians (sadly many Christians believe that too). Mohammad then took it further and said that the Christians too messed up and so God sent the Prophet Mohammad with the final message and chose the Muslims to inherit God's blessings. Inherent to the transfer of blessings , is transfer of the Holy Land (Jerusalem) to the Muslims. Initially it belonged to the Jews, then with destruction of Israel by the Romans, it came under Christian rule in the form of the Byzantine empire and the European Crusaders later.
The first place the Muslims went to conquer was the Holy land and indeed they conquered it through Saladdin and occupied it for centuries and it played out to what Mohammad had preached in securing the promise of God's Holy Land,.......till British forces took over Jerusalem somewhere in 1911.
In 1947, the state of Israel was reinstated and the whole Muslim world went berserk. Why? I know but won't state it here!. But ooops what Mohammad claimed is suddenly no longer true. They do not possess the inheritance of the Holy Land anymore. It now belongs to the Jews, and apparently it does coz they are there even as of today. That is why 37 out of 40 Muslim nations refuse to recognize Israel. If you can't get rid off it, just pretend it is not there.
The whole gist is that we cannot live in denial and not facing up to the truth, be it any aspect of life. I pray not to divide the nation, but for all to have freedom of religion and the right to examine all TRUTHS for themselves individually.
