Email Review 06/09/09

Let’s talk about an email I received: (and keep ’em coming)

GhostRider, I admire your stand, and as Christian we have no right to judge. The Muslims as well as Jews, and so forth are all under the heavens with only one God. The problem is not the Muslims; the problem is the Radical Muslims which are the ones that are waiting feverishly for their messiah. I listened diligently to a journalist that was held back in Kenya some time back because he had evidence that Obama was tied into the radical Muslim Odinga whom he helped personally raise 1 million American dollars for his campaign in Kenya. This same man brutally killed no, Murdered many Christian believers in Kenya when he was not elected as president.

This is the president to the great FREE nation of the USA who wants to have a talk with the president of Iran who has very publicly announced the inhalation of the US and the coming of the Muslim Messiah. We are all God’s children, but it is not only our right, but our duty to shine our light, stay evidently in prayer and glorify Jesus Christ as the only messiah worth Glory and praise. If we don’t stand up right now and advise our brother and sisters, we fail to pass on to all, who is the one and only true God whom I will defend always. There have been way to many ties in the president’s life to the radical Muslims, and as the old saying goes ” where there is smoke there is fire”

There have been way to many ties in this man’s life to the radical muslims, and as the old saying goes ” where there is smoke there is fire”   We need to pray and be very wise about our decisions, personally I don’t like either of them, but the country is split in two right now and I don’t want to risk –not advising everyone I know the details I am learning.

 Madame X

 

And I, Madame X, admire, that you “take” a stand, but I do not admire “stands”. I neither admire my stand, nor do I admire your stand. Stands are an artificially created point of view, a perspective, a set of believes, in an individual. They are created by the programming we get from our parental units, the geographical environments we’re raised in, the religion we’re born, not chose, in to. The way I see it, about having a stand, is this. By genetics, I am not a sheep, and by choice, unfortunately bad choices, I am not a shepherd, even had I wanted to be one. Of the two, sheep and shepherds, sheep do not have or take a “stands”; they just follow blindly, being led by others, and it sounds to me that right now you are being led by others.

Ok, where to start…where to start… Let’s start with your opening: You opened with, “As a Christian we have no right to judge”. You continue by saying how the Muslims, as well as Jews and so forth, are all under the heavens with only one God. Very true. There can only be one God, only one Creator. Regardless of how that God manifests himself, how God chooses to reveal himself as, to you or I, or to a Muslim, or to a Jew, or to a Buddhist, it is the same God, for there can only be one God.

It was like BAMM, you judged right after saying we had no right to judge. Like when someone says I’ll be honest to you. Weren’t they being honest previously? So, I said to my self, “Self, is this a group of humans that is not under the heavens of God”. Could it possibly be that I can judge, that I have a right to judge, those humans, which are not under the heavens. No, that can’t be for we have already agreed that we are all under the heavens of one God. Then you write, “The problem is not the Muslims, the problem is the Radical Muslims”.

So the ones you are judging are the Radical Muslims. So now I think, “I have a right to judge, those humans that are radical? Do I maybe have a right to judge a Radical Jew? Do I maybe have a right to judge a Radical Christian? As I contemplated, I thought, maybe I do have a right to judge any radical even if they are those of my own religion, for was it not, my Church, the Roman Catholic Church, that murdered millions with its inquisitions? Boy, did they clean house or what? They thought it was going so well in their own initial area that they expanded the franchise. There was the Medieval Inquisition, the Spanish Inquisition, the Portuguese Inquisition, the Roman Inquisition. Incredibly, Portugal and Spain consisted largely of multi-cultural territories conquered, taken away, stolen, from Muslim control, but did that stop our beloved Roman Catholic Church inquisitors? Not at all. They gave them selves the right to judge. So, from the 1100’s, to the late 1800’s, The Church rained unmerciful terror and murder. When it comes to religions, my Church, the Roman Catholic Church, were the Super Bowl Champs for a thousand years, give or take a couple of hundred. But, hey, lets give credit to the Protestants, lest we forget, they too, are Christians.

As recently as in 2000, Pope John Paul II called for an “Inquisition Symposium” and opened the Vatican to external historians. Their findings called into question certain long-held beliefs. It emerged that more women accused of witchcraft died in the Protestant countries than under the Inquisition. For example, the Inquisition burned a little less than 100 women in Spain, less than 50 in Italy and only four in Portugal, but 50,000 in Europe and 25,000 persons condemned as witches died in Germany. Madame X, the person I am right today, is not a fan of any religion, be it Christian, Muslim, or Jewish. Religions were all designed, crafted, made up, by us. But I’ll tell you this. I am a fan of Jesus Christ and a fan of His Sermon on The Mount.

Let me finish  by correcting that you are not being led by, rather, you are being mis-lead. Baptized as an Anglican in his youth Odinga became a Born-Again Christian after he had been baptized in Nairobi by David Owuor, a man known for being a self-proclaimed prophet known for his doomsday warnings particularly those were he foretold of half of Nairobi being destroyed in a massive earthquake, which never happened, of the National Repentance and Holiness Ministry on Sunday 3rd of May 2009, Odinga had previously announced that he had been born again on stage alongside David Owuor during a mass prayer meeting in the Rift Valley town of Nakuru in April 2009 and a handful of journalists and evangelical Christians were invited to attend Odinga’s baptism ceremony at a private residence in Nairobi.

So much for all the religious bullshit either way.  The Sermon on the Mount next time.
