2Bobbyj2 REALLY THINK ABOUT IT!

What crass ignorance prevails on this subject. I encourage you in the most sincere way to undertake some serious study before you put pen to paper. There is a vast difference between a pagan deity and the Christian God. "For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." He did this out of love for the creatures he created. Muhammad was not a believer in the Triune God of the Bible but in a pagan deity and Islam which springs from this deity does not offer love and a peace that passes all understanding when a person truly believes in the gospel of 1 Cor 14:1-4. That is what we are talking about at the moment - Christmas is another issue but since you bring it up, in spite of its pagan/Roman Catholic origins and crass commercialisation we should rejoice that Christmas annually brings a reminder of our Saviour's birth. Unfortunately, these festivities tend to perpetuate the confusion concerning who Jesus Christ really is, why he came and what he accomplished. This is not surprising considering the misunderstandings even among His own disciples at the first advent and the far greater confusion which the Bible warns will precede His second coming. Indeed, the whole world, including millions of "Christians" will follow and worship the Antichrist, convinced that he is the true Christ. Christmas celebrations remind us that the same misunderstandings which prevented so many from recognising Christ when He came to earth will prevail when He returns. The causes of confusion 2,000 years ago remain the key issues today: What is the Messiah's true mission and the nature of His kingdom? When, how and by whom will the Kingdom be established and what is its relationship to Israel and the church (that is the invisible church)? Many Christians today are blinded in the same way as those early "disciples' who turned from Christ because He didn't meet their false messianic expectations. The proposed unity of all religions as encouraged by bodies like the World Council of Churches is the very thing the Bible warns against. Co-operation among all religions is essential to establishing the New World Order. The establishment of a politically and religiously united and thus presumably peaceful world being pursued by the Pope the Dalai Lama and other world leaders makes good sense if one knows nothing about Bible prophecy. In contrast the Bible declares that there will be no real peace until Christ reigns in person upon this earth. It also warns that mankind thinks it has firmly established global peace the worst destruction in history will be imminent. Therefore, for those who believe the Bible, indications that the world seems to be uniting for peace politically and religiously should not arouse feelings of earthly security but rather an assurance of the soon return of Christ to take His own to heaven.
