A True Believer Shows Who They Are and Who They Follow

We all expect to be treated kindly; with compassion; with love. No one ever says they want someone to hate them. No, "We all want to be loved", as a popular Christian song says. "We all want just a LITTLE respect... Tell me what's wrong with that?" The problem we have as unregenerate sinners is we expect to be treated BETTER than we give.
Think about it. When you, Christian, were lost you had no concern but for your own self; what you could get; whether you were being served; whether you were getting what you wanted from others. But that is just the opposite of what is right and the whole world knows it; we all know Love gives itself away.
No man is good, everyone is gone astray, and there is not even one person in the world that does what is right by another. That is what God says to you and me through the Bible. But that is how we know when we are His, when we are no longer conceited; a "self for self" person.

Living this life we learn as we go. And one of the lessons that I found to be especially hard was finding out that no one, in the world, really cared. And then learning I did not care about anyone else but my self was devastating. But as my Christian friends told me, "No one, in the world, even gives you a second thought, never mind caring what happens to you! And neither do you." It's then I learned what I needed to do.

But YAHWEH is right, we are all desperately wicked, in the world. Something must be changed; we must be made into new people that do care.

"…Mr. Burwell's position is a rest stop on the way to advocating harm to those who you disagree with. There's another group of true believers doing just that very thing right now - you might have noticed them, they're the ones with the AK's and black masks." - Posted On: 07/20/07 10:09:00 AM Age 35, WA

An anonymous person posted this response in reply to my article (1) where I was showing how the Democrat Party has declared an amoral platform. But, what I wanted to point out to you is, this guy actually compares real Christianity with real Islam. And this matter is at the crux of the argument in this nation over religious liberty, personal freedoms and social order. If Christianity is just another religion like Islam then he is right, we will be advocating violence soon. But is it???

So, is this anonymous 35 year old writer in Washington right? Are real Christians the same terrorists as real Muslims? As you read for the proofs in my argument remember the words in 1 Corinthians 13 that describe what Love is, and what Love is not.

You can easily find in the Koran where this book tells the true Moslem to murder you as an infidel if you reject his god, just like the Al Qaeda terrorists are doing in

Afghanistan

. But you can also see a true Christian seeks the lost wherever they can be found; sometimes lays his life down for his enemies; always stands for and speaks the truth; defends the weak, and cares for the poor, as Jesus did, and just like the south Korean Christians were doing in Afghanistan until they were taken hostage by the Moslems. The horror happening there clearly shows the truth about both Islam and Christianity. The Christians are dying for caring enough to want to help others while the Muslims are murdering these "infidels". The world knows they both are "true believers" and both these groups are proving the understanding of them to be accurate.

Do you not understand what I am saying? Let me be poignantly clear at the risk of… well… everything… just as Jesus brings me to be… just as my love for Him causes me to choose to be, for His Name's sake, regardless of the outcome:

A True Believer in ISLAM kills those who reject/deny/ignore Islam. The world knows this and expects that of them. And these Muslims in

Afghanistan

are proving that understanding is correct.

A True Believer in Christ Jesus loves others. So much so that he pours himself out for the real needs of others. The world sees this and expects that of us. And these Christians in

Afghanistan

are proving that understanding is correct.

When these are not as they are expected to be they are known to be false in what they profess.

Who really believes the Inquisition was Christ-like? NO ONE DOES, and they are RIGHT! When a professing Christian shows by his actions he is not what he claims to be he is ridiculed and defamed publicly. And when these Muslims murder the South Korean Christians in

Afghanistan

, and Muslim Mullahs do not intervene to save the Christians, no one is surprised! Those who know say these Moslems are being true to their religion. Bin Laden, by the decree of his own Koran (2), or Q'uran, and with the active support of the Mullahs of Islam, is a "true believer" of Islam. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the leader of Iran, says things like, "

Israel

's end is near." and the world doesn't blink. Because his god tells him to do so in their own Koran; and we all know it.

True Love is selfless and caring. Those who are of Christ Jesus can see the fruit of His Sovereignty in their lives. If those in the world can understand some of what Christians are supposed to be then Christians certainly should. If you do not then… you'd better go to http://TheGoodPersonTest.com and test yourself before you meet Jesus as your Judge, when he will judge all mankind for what they have done.

Jesus said you must acknowledge Him before men now, in this life, or He will not acknowledge you before His Father! And then where do you go? Hell, correct. Why? -For your violations of God's Law. If you lie, or steal, or lust; violating any of the Laws of Yahweh; then you are a guilty sinner and deserving of Hell. But Yahweh's mercy is demonstrated in that He provides His own Son as a payment for your violations. If you repent, turn from your sins, and trust Jesus to save you He will. Then read the Bible daily and obey what you read. No where in there will you learn you must do anything but be as Jesus is, but you will read that this same Jesus will make you a new person from the inside; you will be the caring person you are expected to be.

So, earnestly pray for our Brothers in Christ suffering for his Name in

Afghanistan

and other places in this world. Know Jesus is with them through their trials.
(There have been more martyrs in the last 100 years than all other prior years combined.-footnote (3))

And by the way, Jesus said we should defend the weak and helpless. That is why we are in

Iraq
