There was a protest outside the UN and Egyptian Consulate on Tuesday January 19th 2010. They gathered to protest the genocide of their people; a genocide that continues unabated in Egypt. Will anyone listen?

A discovery of coins has been made in the Museum of Egypt. The coins are from many different periods, including coins that bore special markings identifying them as being from the era of Joseph.
Joseph’s name appears on this coin, written in hieroglyphs: once the original name, Joseph, and once his Egyptian name, Saba Sabani, which was given to him by Pharaoh when he became treasurer. There is also an image of Joseph, who was part of the egyptian administration at the time.
The bible mentions coins in Genesis 23:14, 37:28, & 42:35. Bible critics assure us that no coinage existed in those times. Once again, the bible is proved correct and the critics are wrong.
Quran is at a job interview
Nov 20
The boss asks, “Do you have references?”
quran replies, “Torah and Bible, call them.”
So the boss calls Torah, and Torah replies, “I have never heard of him.” Confused, the boss calls Bible and Bible says, “I know him; he is a liar and a thief and is actually from Satan, the devil, don’t believe him.”
Pressed by the boss, quran defends “they are liars.”
And the boss reasons: “if they are liars, why do you use them for references unless you are insane?”
Matthew Suffered martyrdom in Ethiopia , killed by a sword wound.
Mark Died in Alexandria , Egypt , after being dragged by horses through the streets until he was dead.
Luke was hanged in Greece as a result of his tremendous preaching to the lost.
John Faced martyrdom when he was boiled in huge basin of boiling oil during a wave of persecution in Rome .. However, he was miraculously delivered from death. John was then sentenced to the mines on the prison island of Patmos . He wrote his prophetic Book of Revelation on Patmos . The apostle John was later freed and returned to serve as Bishop of Edessa in modern Turkey . He died as an old man, the only apostle to die peacefully.
Peter was crucified upside down on an x-shaped cross. According to church tradition it was because he told his tormentors that he felt unworthy to die in the same way that Jesus Christ had died.
James, Just The leader of the church in Jerusalem , was thrown over a hundred feet down from the southeast pinnacle of the Temple when he refused to deny his faith in Christ.. When they discovered that he survived the fall, his enemies beat James to death with a fuller’s club. * This was the same pinnacle where Satan had taken Jesus during the Temptation.
James the Great, son of Zebedee, was a fisherman by trade when Jesus called him to a life time of ministry. As a strong leader of the church, James was ultimately beheaded at Jerusalem . The Roman officer who guarded James watched amazed as James defended his faith at his trial. Later, the officer walked beside James to the place of execution. Overcome by conviction, he declared his new faith to the judge and knelt beside James to accept beheading as a Christian.
Bartholomew also known as Nathaniel Was a missionary to Asia .. He witnessed for our Lord in present day Turkey .. Bartholomew was martyred for his preaching in Armenia where he was flayed to death by a whip.
Andrew was crucified on an x-shaped cross in Patras , Greece . After being whipped severely by seven soldiers they tied his body to the cross with cords to prolong his agony. His followers reported that, when he was led toward the cross, Andrew saluted it in these words: ‘I have long desired and expected this happy hour. The cross has been consecrated by the body of Christ hanging on it.’ He continued to preach to his tormentors for two days until he expired.
Thomas Was stabbed with a spear in India during one of his missionary trips to establish the church in the sub-continent.
Jude Was killed with arrows when he refused to deny his faith in Christ.
Matthias The apostle chosen to replace the traitor Judas Iscariot was stoned and then beheaded.
Barnabas One of the group of seventy disciples, wrote the Epistle of Barnabas. He preached throughout Italy and Cyprus. Barnabas was stoned to death at Salonica.
Paul Was tortured and then beheaded by the evil Emperor Nero at Rome in A.D. 67. Paul endured a lengthy imprisonment which allowed him to write his many epistles to the churches he had formed throughout the Roman Empire. These letters, which taught many of the foundational doctrines of Christianity, form a large portion of the New Testament.
Perhaps this is a reminder to us that our sufferings here are indeed minor compared to the intense persecution and cold cruelty faced by the apostles/disciples during their times for the sake of their Faith.
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: But he that endureth to the end shall be saved. Matthew 10:22
Two views of heaven
Oct 4
Christianity and Islam both give us some insight into the heavenly realm but you will be quite surprised as to how different these two views of heaven are.
Heaven according to the bible
Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away. Revelation 21:3-4
For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. Matthew 22:30
But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells 2Peter 3:13
Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 1Thessalonians 4:17
To sum up, heaven for Christians is to be with God for eternity, where there will be no suffering at all, where we will be like angels and where there will be no unrighteousness. It will be a place of pure joy.
Heaven according to Islam
To say that Islamic heaven is x-rated would be an understatement. Don’t believe me? Read on…
So (it will be), and We shall marry them to Hur[] (fair females) with wide, lovely eyes. Quran 44:53
And raised couches; Lo! We have created them a (new) creation And made them virgins, Lovers, friends Quran 56:33-36
Ibn Kathir, one of the greatest scholars in Islam says that this verse means the virgins will always be virgin. In other words, the lucky muslim will have sex with his virgins and they will be virgin again!
Verily, for the Muttaqûn[], there will be a success (Paradise); Gardens and vineyards, And young full-breasted (mature) maidens of equal age, And a full cup (of wine). Quran 78:30-33
The Holy Prophet (Mohammed) said: “The believer will be given tremendous strength in Paradise for sexual intercourse”. It was questioned: “O prophet of Allah! can he do that?” He said: “He will be given the strength of one hundred persons.’” (Mishkat al-Masabih 4:42:24; Sunan al-Tirmidhi 2536). See here. Do a search for the word “hundred”.
Round about them will serve, (devoted) to them, youths (handsome) as Pearls well-guarded Quran 52:24
Round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness). Quran 56:16
And round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness): if thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls. Quran 76:18
Impressed so far? We’re just getting started:
In the Hadiths the Prophet Muhammad gave the believers a final choice of a open sex market in heaven where there will be no limit of the number of sexual partners. Women are in display like open fruit market. Hadith: Al hadiths, Vol. 4, Page-172, No.34: Hozrot Ali (r.a) narrated that the Apostle of Allah said, “There is in paradise an open market wherein there will be no buying or selling, but will consist of men and women. When a man desires a beauty, at once he will have intercourse with them as desired.
To summarize, islamic heaven is eternal sex with big bosomed virgins who are always virgin, and being served by handsome boys.
The islamic sources make no mention of the rewards for muslim women in paradise. I guess they will be watching their husbands with their virgins.
It is clear that heaven in Islam is the product of an earthly mind not a heavenly one. Muhammad used these carnal promises to lure his followers into doing anything for him… they were even eager to die to get the virgins. Heaven is a holy place not a whore house! Muslims wake up, you don’t have to follow this man called Muhammad.
As of 2007, it is estimated that 33 million people are living with AIDS and the number is increasing everyday! See http://www.avert.org/worldstats.htm for current stats.
Yet, the world strongly promotes the notion of “safe sex” by using condoms. http://www.condomeffectiveness.com/ says that condoms are 98% effective. Thats not very safe… think about it. 1 in 50 chance of the condom failing.
The stats show that condoms are not the answer.
A faithful marriage between one man and woman is the answer to this AIDS problem. There would be no AIDS if everyone practiced faithful marriage. No one would be having sex with multiple partners. There would be no innocent babies born with HIV because their mother has HIV/AIDS. I wish the world would promote marriage as the best solution.
Last year, Sunni Muslim fanatics beheaded Mansuur Mohammed who was a Christian convert. He was beheaded in the most cruel and barbaric way and at the same time Muslims were celebrating by saying Allah Akbar (Allah is great).
How many people have been beheaded by muslims just for being Christians? Earlier this month, seven more Somali’s were decapitated by the al-Shabaab group. When the group was asked why they were executed, they said:
“Al-Shabaab told us that they were beheaded for being Christian followers and spies,”
Islamic extremists have beheaded two young boys in Somalia because their Christian father refused to divulge information about a church leader, and the killers are searching Kenya’s refugee camps to do the same to the boys’ father.
Indonesia, October 30, 2005, THREE SCHOOL GIRLS: Theresia Morangke, Alfita Poliwo and Yarni Sambue were beheaded by Islamists for being Christians. The two men who were convicted of this crime got 14 years each. Very lenient don’t you think? That’s because Indonesia is a muslim majority country and Christians are worth much less than muslims in Islam. Compare these sentences to that given Aussie visitors, caught with pot, who got life sentences. Insane?
Baghdad, Iraq, October 21st, 2006 – A 14 year old Assyrian boy was beheaded by muslims in a factory where he worked. His crime, he was a Christian. Click the link for more details.
This list could get very very long, only God knows how many Christians have been massacred by muslims.
Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. Revelation 20:4
In the book of revelation we read many things about the future. Some of the things are hard to interpret but the verse above is very clear. The writer of revelation saw the souls of people who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus.
Is this Islam? A beacon of peace and tolerance… yeah right!
Beheading is the ’signature punishment’ given out by Islamists. No doubt, you will have heard on the news about Daniel Pearl, Nich berg and countless others who have been captured and then beheaded on videotape. The Islamists could easily just kill their hostages with a bullet to the head, they have loads of guns, but beheading is the preferred method, why is that do you think?
It’s easy. Qur’an commands muslims to:
I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off. Qur’an 8:12
Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), strike off their heads Qur’an 47:4
In Islam, the prophet Muhammad is described as the “perfect man” and muslims try to emulate his ways. He beheaded people himself:
According to Sirat A, Rasul page 464:
When Banu Qurayza Jewish tribe was surrendered (627 A.D.) unconditionally, the apostle confined them in Medina in the quarter of al-Harith, a woman of B. al-Najjar. Then the apostle went out to the market of Medina (which is still its market today) and dug trenches in it. Then he sent for them and struck off their heads in those trenches as they were brought out to him in batches tying theirs both hands with their necks. This beheading went on until the apostle made an end of them. There were 600 or 700 in all, though some put the figure as high as 800 or 900. Apparently Muhammad himself worked on the digging of the trench into which the massacred Jews were to be thrown. But he (Muhammad) did not only take part in those preparations, the formulation of the text states but also participated himself in beading of at least two of the leading Jews.
Of course, Islam is not the only culture that has used beheading to kill people. Beheading of criminals with a sword or axe was a common practice by all ancient civilizations for thousands of years. Beheading was widely used in Europe, Asia and Africa (Muslim and non-Muslim alike) until the very early 20th century, and only recently entire civilized world have abandoned this ancient and cruel practice of capital punishment.
Islamists believe they are doing God’s work when they behead people… you will hear them saying Allah Akbar (God is great) when committing these atrocities. It reminds me of what the Lord said:
Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor Me. John 16:2-3
These muslims are seriously deceived. I think God is going to have to step into this world and sort it out pretty soon!

Jewish-owned land lost in Arab countries: 38,625 sq.miles; Israel’s total area: 7,992 sq.miles!
It wont be long before there will be no jews left in the Middle East apart from in Israel.
God Himself proclaimed that He would bring HIS people back to THEIR LAND in Ezekiel 36.
For I will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands and bring you into your own land. Ezekiel 36:24
The rebirth of the nation of Israel is a fulfillment of prophecy. Israel is still the apple of God’s eye (Zechariah 2:8).
You will hear the word Zionism and zionists used as a derogatory term to label the movement to establish a homeland for the jewish people and anyone who supports it. This term is mainly used by muslims. Well, they should be careful: God is a zionist! God is the one who gave that land to Israel. God is the one who will bring His people back to that land. God will fight against Jerusalem’s foes:
Behold, a day is coming for the LORD when the spoil taken from you will be divided among you. For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be captured, the houses plundered, the women ravished and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be cut off from the city. Then the LORD will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle. In that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south. Zechariah 14:2-4
