The author of this video has the sense to decry the lunacy he portrays here, but it worries me. they think Obama is a Messiah who will save them.
He wont of course, and I am reminded that when the Antichrist emerges he will be adored even more.
THat is what concerns me. The world is lurching a little closer towards that direction.

A string of pious platitudes. That is why i am against public prayer on public occasions. The world is out in its best clothes, scrubbed and on its best behaviour, and a phoney invocation, even if the words are right, is shown to be a phoney invocation by what they will do after the prayer and the ceremony is finished.
After all, the world is still against the Most High.
Notice he asked "forgive us" not "give us a spirit of conviction of sin that we may genuinely repent".
Pious platitudes. For if the way is strait and narrow and few there are who find it how many in that crowd of 2 million have found it? a few hundred? So to the great majority only the pious platitude will do
And woe betide anyone who would dare mention on a time like this that the Bible says the nations are but a drop in the bucket designed for the merest minimum maintenance of order but also to prevent man from totally uniting, as they did at Babel
As for calling Him Isa, well i'd think it depends on what he means by this. After all I call him Isos - the Russian form, as in, sometimes, Isos Grozny, Jesus the Terrible (Mighty, Stern, Awesome) Tsar of Heaven
Where is the evidence that Obama is a Muslim.
a fraud, yes, an empty suit, yes. but a muslim? as this is now the insult du jour in america these days i need more than the mere accusation.
and even if he is muslim, so what? back in the 8th century when europe was a pack of mud spatterd barbarians in constant civil war the Islamic Caliphate stretched from spain to india and was the greatest civilization in the world. I reject Islam as it rejects christ, but i will not call it barbarian and against civilization, for if you or your kids ever did algebra in high school, know the term is arabic, it was they who preserved the classical heritage also.
Mulsim terrorists are to islam as the KKK is to christianity, that is to say a fringe group of lunatics
much western thinking about islam is pure prejudice. to equate denying christ with terroism and barbarism is simply irrational
and yes I do know the name Isa. Should i refuse to call him Isos because of what the Russian Orthodox make of him?
what about the JEEEZUSS of the evangelicals? and what about the same name as a swear word that i grew up hearing constantly?
If I forebear to call him by this what remains. Hey you??
and of course the prayer was touchy feely nonsense. what did you expect? it was in a public occasion. when God is mentioned in the public square hypocrisy and blasphemy is the ONLY result, which is why i am not against removing mention of Him from public ceremonial. the hypocrisy of it sickens me
I am not sure what you mean by this statement: "what about the JEEEZUSS of the evangelicals? and what about the same name as a swear word that i grew up hearing constantly?" Are you saying that "Jesus" is wrong?
Stref: quite the opposite. As Isa is the arabic form of Iesous so is Jesus the english form of it.
If you defend using the english form of Yeshua you cannot condemn the Arabic form of it. Unless you want to go back to hebrew roots and only use the Hebrew form of it
If you condemn what arabs MEAN by the name Isa then i will respond that what most europeans mean by "Jesus" is also heretical, the gentle jesus meek and mild milk sop mothers boy who would not raise a finger to so much as swat a fly.
as for your comments on islam, you assume that it is a monolith, that there is no such thing as muslim moderates. this is, IMO prejudice and stereotype.
do you insist that the terrorists are real muslims and the others fail to apply it properly? what if the terrorists are heretics within islam?
Make no mistake, i dislike islam intensly, but i am not about to let centureos of prejudice blind me as to what it is. During the crusades the murderous thugs who broke treaties, the barbarian butchers, were the so called christians, the crusaders, which is why i regard the Crusades as a blasphemy and an abomination. Saladin, though a heretic for denying that Jesus is God, was a scholar and a gentleman
Make no mistake, i regard their law keeping as bogus. no one reaches God by law keeping and any view of human nature or sin that thinks law keeping would work is naive
and let me add when Europe was a pack of mud spattered barbarians who would start of a crusade with a ritual butchering of the local jews it was the Muslims who gave shelter to the Jews. Rabbi Moses Maimonides, (also known as RAMBAM an acrostic RAbbi Moses BAr Maimon) - one of the major figures in post exilic judaism, was based in muslim spain. (Spain was slowly reconquered by warriros who dared to call themselves christian, who feuded amongst themselfves more than against the Moors - arabic moslems. this reconquest was completed in 1492 and then was followed by one of the greatest atrocities in european history, the inquisiton.
and as for muslim treatment of Christians and Jews, their fate was not execution, but rather they were to pay a tax.
Did you know this?
If not then your thinking about islam is stereotype and prejudice. such things afflict the west and have done so for centures.
given the human response to evil, they hate us because we deserve it, they treat history of a thousand years ago as todays news, and if i did i would hate the crusaders, thugs on horseback, as they do
I am not afraid of Islam. I am TERRIFIED of what western secular governments are going to do in response to a perceived islamic threat
