President Obama said on Thursday that the Florida pastor’s plan endangers American troops and is “contrary to our values” of religious tolerance (New York Times, September 9, 2010)
American values aside, something is amiss. Assigning blame, guilt and if you will, power to a small church of 50, somehow demeans the office of the President of The United States.
It speaks to me of our President acquiescence s to veiled threat from the Muslim world and our Military Leaders. In another matter, Imam Rauf, has issued veiled threats; if the Muslim center close to the former world trade center is moved, it could/may trigger murder toward American soldiers and Americans.
I am personally opposed to the pastor burning the Koran (s). In my view, I would approach burning be done in Spiritual warfare. My view, I think is, congruent with orthodox New Testament values.
I know something about fear, and fear is torment. The spirit of fear is not passive. It demands more allegiance and is intransigent.
I know something about “giving” away “my power” to others. It too is rooted in a spirit of fear.
The question I want asked, Does the Church have a response to the Koran? What I have heard in the media is a higgly wiggly apologetic spirit of a bastardized American gospel.
The Gospel is grace and truth in one, a Person. The good news is about a person, the Centerpiece of Fathers creation and our Fathers heart. He is the Alpha and Omega. All things dwell in Him, by Him and for Him. He Was and Is. Before, He is I AM. This view is not radical, its the simple gospel 101. This is the normal. All others systems of religious theology is radical.
If this is not true, Jesus is a fraud and liar. The bible is a fable, a myth of humans. I too am a fool and I should be labeled a heretic and insane, and yes burn Ken burn, like was done in the dark ages. I am blessed to live in America, for this reason I can write this blog. Go to Egypt where it is illegal to evangelize the gospel, In any country that Islam is the domineering religion, the gospel is either scorned or illegal. The spirit of Islam is intolerant, so is religion, fear is intolerant . The Spirit of the Gospel is a person.
I want to say, blood is everywhere. Christian religion has murdered millions of Jews, and Muslims. Luther believed he was doing God a favor by killing Jews, the Catholic Church murdered Jews by the thousands, it goes on and on. Today America murders millions of unborn babies in the name of rights. I too had blood on my heart and hands. But then came a greater blood, that was given to me as a gift. Nothing and I mean nothing comes within 100 million light years of the Blood of Jesus. It was real blood, not a religion, if was a person, it was and is Life. Either I live in Him or I don’t.
This is my proclamation today. Its that simple.
