Christian Jihad II

Read Ester Lighthorse's newest book today!
http://www.amazon.com/Turkey-Broth-Spirit-Questions-Pentateuch-ebook/dp/B00GVLQ0CY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386004442&sr=8-1&keywords=ester+lighthorse


So Long as God Tells Christians to Fight Enemies it is Not a Jihad

Luke 6:27 says, "But I say unto you which hear, love your enemies, do good to them which hate you."
     Well, this seems to start out okay. Love your enemies. Do good to them who hate you. Of course, after watching this video clip where John Hagee specifically prays for God to help the president lead the country into war, well...it seems like there has been a bit of mis-communication between the ideal of loving your enemy and bombing the shit out of them.


James 4:1 says, "Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Are they not from this, from your pleasures that war in your members?"
     John Hagee would have you believe that the commands of Allah in Islam for His followers to cause war are evil, terrible, murderous...BUT, the God of the Bible is CORRECT in His commands of war and TOTAL VICTORY is the only acceptable course for Christianity and God's followers. This assmunch claims to know the truth and will of God and because of that he has been set free. Stupid. Simply stupid. Hagee does not preach peace or anything even remotely similar.

Hebrews 10:27 says, "But a certain fearful expectation of judgment and fervor of fire, which is to consume the adversaries."
     This is an interesting video. I think a lot of what this guy says is worth giving some thought over, but that is not to say that I necessarily agree with everything he says. Fighting and faith.

Genesis 49:8 says, "Judah, your brothers will praise you; your hand will be on the neck of your enemies; your father's sons will bow down before you."
     Christians believe that everyone will eventually be bowing down to their God and Muslims believe that eventually everyone will be bowing down to their Allah. These groups are the same. They are both filled with hatred and an insatiable desire to kill anyone opposed to them. Oh, and do not forget that each side claims that victory has already been fortold for their side. Insanity.

Exodus 23:22 says, "But if you will indeed listen to His voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries."
     That's right. If you only listen to everything that God says to do you will be saved and will be victorious. And if God leads you into war He has a goddamn good reason for it, so stop asking if the people who do not believe the same as you do should be allowed to live. Be very aware that not everyone in society will approve of your violent actions. Do not let these unbelievers sway you in your resolve to kill and destroy and mistreat all those who refuse God. So long as the enemy you fight in war is an enemy of God you have full and complete vindication.

Leviticus 26:7 says, "And you will chase your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you."
     So long as God gives you permission to kill or maim or destroy or rob or hurt or lie or rape or hate or mistreat, you are good to go. If you act unlawfully in the name of God you are guilty of nothing save for following the word and command of God.

Numbers 10:9 says, "And when you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, so that you may be remembered before Jehovah your God and be saved from your enemies."
     Like ANY faith or reasoning or school of thought that finds justification to fight that which is frowned upon Christianity is NO DIFFERENT. Christianity points all kinds of fingers everywhere but at itself, failing to recognize it is a main offender in using faith as a weapon and validator for fighting all those who do not believe the same. Christians want to pick on Islam because of the violent attributes of Islam? I will agree that some within Islam are very violent, but so are many Christians and Christianity cannot deny this. Many people who supposedly believe in the love of Jesus and His salvation dig deep within their Bible to find ANYTHING that will serve as a divine permission slip to fight.

Numbers 25:16-17 says, "The Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, Harass the Midianites and strike them."
     What do you know? God DOES instruct people to fight...on purpose. Oh, that is right. I forgot that when God says to fight and when He kills people it is perfectly okay. He IS God after all. So, if God tells you to fight you do not have to worry that you are doing anything wrong because your instructions are coming from God and you cannot be held at fault.

30:7 says, "And Jehovah your God will put all these oaths upon your enemies and upon them who hate and who have persecuted you."
     So many Christians point to Muslim extremists and the Quran as evil and full of murder and hate. Allah is a false god because of His blood-thirsty commands to rid the planet of all the infidels. Really? I hate to break it to you (actually I am quite happy to do so) but the God of the Bible is no less violent than Allah, and even the God of the Bible commands His people and followers to murder and maim. And much like the followers of Allah claim to be carrying out His righteous commands and demands, so do the Christians claim the very same.

32:43 says, "Shout joyously, you nations, with His people, because He will avenge the blood of His servants, and He will repay His adversaries with vengeance, and will cover the guilt of His land and of His people."
     Yet another delusional asshole trying to validate the evil things God commands His followers to do. There is no philosophical argument to be found here, although this man does try to portray such. There are two choices to this man's question of whether or not he would kill his child if God commanded him to do so: YES and NO. Not real difficult.

Joshua 7:13 says, "Rise up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow; for thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, there is something devoted to destruction among you, O Israel; you will not be able to stand before your enemies until you remove that which was devoted to destruction from among you."
     Yep, there are far too many crazies out there who are all too ready and willing to harm and encourage harm in an effort to supposedly take 'back' what is God's. So much for peace and love. The idiot in this video is yet another sad example of what happens when violent delusionals grab what is supposed to be a gospel of 'good news' and turn it into something deadly. So sad.

10:19 says, "But you, do not stay here; pursue after your enemies, and attack them from behind. Do not allow them to go to their cities, for Jehovah your God has given them into your hand."
     I like what this man has to say about how Christians validate the murderous commands of God.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn2QboE0Hmg

22:8 says, "He spoke to them saying, Return with many riches to your tents and with your very many cattle, with silver and with gold and with bronze and with iron and with very much clothing; divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers."
     See, because of the fall of man in the garden of Eden all of Adam's descendants are born into sin. Every thing man does is immoral. God often gives man commands that if man should do these commands of his own volition they would be immoral, but since God is the one ordering the murder and robbery and sacrifices these otherwise immoral actions are not immoral.

37:20 says, "But the wicked will perish, and the enemies of Jehovah will be like the glory of the pastures: They are consumed; in smoke they are consumed."
     Here in this video we have a representative of Christianity making excuses for God as to the genocidal commands He gives His people in the Old Testament. See, what you really need to do is consider the context in which the words were written. You think that God meant this, but He really meant that. Unless, of course, you plan on killing adversaries of God and Christianity in present times. If that is the case you are more than welcome to twist the verses until you come up with something that will validate your murderous deeds.
     This man will have you believe that God's great and fantabulous plan for His people and all of humanity was to make slaves of the Israelites for four hundred years in Egypt, during which time God was allowing the Canaanite tribes and clans to become very very evil and wicked in their ways, and then when the Canaanites became wicked enough God used the Israelites to punish them for their terrible deeds. And that is why God is holy in His commands for war and killing people and taking things that do not belong to the taker.
     Also consider the completely ludicrous statement that God gave no command to kill everyone. God's people only killed those Canaanites who chose to stay behind and fight the intruding Israelites instead of fleeing their own country when they saw the approaching army. If the Canaanites had simply fled THEIR OWN LAND when they saw the approaching Israelite army they would have lived. This is a bullshit claim.
     Deuteronomy 20:17 says, "You must completely destroy the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, just as the LORD your God has commanded you."
     Hummm. That does not sound like God simply intended to scare the Canaanites into dropping everything and fleeing their land. The fact that the words "completely destroy" were used make me think that God absolutely intended a genocidal act. To completely destroy something or someone means a whole lot more than simply running someone out of their own land.

Nahum 1:2 says, "Jehovah is a jealous God and One who avenges; Jehovah avenges and is full of wrath; Jehovah takes vengeance on His adversaries, and reserves wrath for His enemies."
     Thank goodness there are people out there who come to their religious senses. What is wrong for man should absolutely be wrong for God. God commands people to do horrible shit, and not only can God order such things because He is God and has a right to do bad things, but the people who are carrying out His commands are also absolved of wrongdoing.

Waiting for Jesus...

...and Waiting and Waiting and Waiting...


     This is absolutely amazing. This gentleman even knows the length of time that the supposed rapture itself will take: 1/64th of a second. Granted I am not by any means a Bible scholar per se. I was, however, raised in a very religious family where the lessons of the Bible were pounded into us day in and day out. I cannot find any verse in the Bible that offers the measurement of 1/64th of a second as the length of time for the actual rapture it self to occur. 

     So this guy basically says that we are pretty close to hearing a knock at the door that will be Jesus. Listen specifically to when he says the rapture and the return of Jesus or at least the marvelous signs of such will return...as it seems Thanksgiving and Christmas will be good candidates.
     Then he goes on to insinuate that the state of countries on the continent of Africa and the wars in the Middle East are ever=present signs Jesus is getting closer and closer. Never mind that the African continent has suffered from untold catastrophe for as long as anyone can remember, I mean, go get a goddamn history book and read for yourself.
     But then you have the guy's claim that the skirmishes in the Middle East mean something. So ridiculous. Geeze, the cultures in the Middle East fight because they choose to fight and have always fought each other over gods and cultural practices and every other friggin thing they can stew up a fight over. The fighting in the Middle East is nothing new.

     This guy is a hoot! Just another faithful interpreter of Bible rhetoric who twists and turns the words of the Bible to fit with the badly mutilated meaning of human struggles in conjunction with the Bible meanings so that whatever version of when Jesus' arrival is supposed to be can be validated. Go and write a better story.

     Look! Up in the sky...it's a tornado! It's a hail storm! It's...JESUS!

     Why can't an earthquake just be an earthquake? Why can't a volcanic eruption just be an eruption? A flood a flood? A tsunami a tsunami? A sinkhole a sinkhole? No one will argue that the forces of nature are not scary. Yes, they can be utterly frightening. But these movements of our planet and the weather upon the planet are part of the health of this living planet and have jack shit to do with any kind of deity utilizing the forces of nature to kill and frighten people as a warning that He is about to return.

     More cheesey pictures with even cheesier music accompanied by a deluge of scripture intended to bully and frighten people into believing that a vengeful and self-righteous God and His son are on their way to badger humanity a little more before deciding who gets to live and who gets to die. It sounds suspiciously like Hitler is about to make another grand entrance.

     Do you like the music of the opening sequence? The people who did this video do a very good job of mimicking the ABC Nightly News music before putting in a few extra tones so that no copyrights are broken. 

     Watch this video from beginning to end as it is an excellent example of, "Don't let the fear of religion happen to you." Living a life of fear. Nice. That is SOME GOD you have there. By the way, where is all the love and compassion and grace of this God? You don't really have to answer because not only do you NOT have a sufficient answer, but it is really more of a rhetorical question to begin with.

     That's right, let's use one of the more recognizable opera songs associated with terror and destruction and then couple THAT with loads of scary imagery with just a slight peppering of delusional scripture.

     This is so stupid. Why would anyone want back some deity that allowed so many horrible things to happen to untold millions within history? WHY? Oh, but it is man's freewill that did all the bad shit. Whatever, dude. That is a complete copout and you know it. How many millions and millions have died ion recorded history due to floods or wildfires or the forces of nature altogether? How does that compute into your special little equasion of the freewill of man? Do the forces of nature have freewill as well? Why in the world would a loving and righteous God allow the frightening use of weather to announce the return of His son? So everyone can see Him? If He is the Son of God wouldn't everyone know who He is to begin with and so all that is divine can dispense with killing and frightening people with forces of nature?

     Classic 'Jesus is coming back to get you' bullshit.

     Every election there is one group or another that tries desperately to use the stories emerging out of the election to fashion some kind of proof that Jesus is reaching out to push the doorbell to announce His return.

     Oh LORD! This guy looks like an Oompah-Loompah on steroids hopping about on a religious stage as he tries desperately to validate all of his disillusioned religious claims. Jesus is here! Jesus is here! Enough!

     Don't forget that all difficult times must be a sign of Jesus coming back.

     Oh look, two pompous assholes communing over religion. Quick! Get the camera! Jesus MUST be coming back for real this time.

     Listen to what the guy says at the beginning, "For those who don't believe that the Bible is real..." Oh, the Bible is REAL alright, it just isn't true. Big difference there, sir. It is amazing when people come across something they either have not seen and experienced for themselves or something that usually does not occur on a regular basis but that is still scary nonetheless and then take that and chalk it up to some kind of twisted validation of the claims of the Bible. So very goddamn sad people waste their time with such garbage. Jesus is coming back? No no no. And the constant assertions and fighting over such does absolutely nothing to backup such a stupid claim to begin with and does nothing to help people or situations or society.

     Sure, sure, sure. And there were also people who claimed that Reagan himself was the antichrist and was a sure sign that Jesus would return sometime in the 1980s. Go back and formulate a better story.

     Hah! This John Hagee guy is a real hoot. I will be doing a blog on him, but for now just get the basic message that this guy thinks some mighty guy nmaed Jesus is on His way back to earth. Nope.

     Oooohhh. Signs that jesus is on His way back to earth to torture people some more in order to get them to believe and bow to and serve this God who seemingly has a very big problem with wanting attention and lots of it.
