"This is a Warning to Christians Everywhere"

 How tragic that some of my ELCA Lutheran friends believe that Muslims don't need to be evangelized. "We all worship the same god!  Whether they call him Allah, which is Father in Arabic, it doesn't really matter because there is only one god and he will answer no matter what you call him."

Those of us who read and believe our Bibles know that the satanic fruit built into Islam is visible everywhere you look.  They need Jesus Christ to have eternal life...but quite sure the ELCA and other liberal denominations will be offering to them anytime soon.

In the meantime Satan continues to use Islam to butcher followers of Christ EVEN TODAY!!

Nigeria: In a video that appeared on Dec. 29, Islamic terrorists executed five Christians. The footage shows five armed members of the Islamic State (West African province) standing behind five men dressed in orange suits, and on their knees with their arms tied behind their backs. The terrorists order each of the men to say their names and the hostages oblige, each adding, "I am a Christian." One of the terrorists then says "This is a warning to Christians in all parts of the world and those in Nigeria.... Use the heads of these five of your brethren to continue with your ungodly celebrations," a reference to Christmas. The five Muslims then open fire into the back of the Christians' heads and kill them.

Uganda: A Muslim mob attacked and killed a man "a few days after he renounced Islam to follow Christ." On Nov. 30, Yusuf Kintu, 41, then an imam at a mosque, converted to Christianity. Pastor Andrew Nyanma said:

"We had been talking on several occasions, but he was so argumentative when we touched on matters related to faith. He was a brilliant Muslim Imam but also respected other people's faith. On this day [of his conversion], he was calm and receptive."

Three days later, his wife divorced him and left the house with his two youngest children. On Dec. 6, one week after his conversion—or, in Muslim eyes, apostasy—an angry Muslim mob rose up against him. According to one source, "the local Muslim community was upset in [sic] Yusuf for leaving Islam and becoming a Christian. Yusuf was seriously beaten and left unconscious." Pastor Andrew found him in the morning and took him to a hospital, where, on Dec, 7, Yusuf succumbed to his injuries.

Artsakh: Muslim fighters tortured a 58-year-old Christian woman of Armenian descent by hacking off her ears, hands, and feet before finally executing her. According to the Jan. 14 report:

"On the same day of talks between Erdogan and Putin, when Turkey's leader said he would like to create conditions of 'coexistence' between Armenians and Azeris, officials located the body of an Armenian woman today who had been reported missing.

"The woman has been identified as 58-year-old Alvard Tovmasyan who was a resident of Karin Tak village, near the Shushi region of Artsakh currently occupied by Azerbaijani forces.

"Tovmasyan was a second degree intellectually disabled person killed and 'tortured beyond recognition' outside of her home with her hands, ears, and feet cut off, according to her brother Samvel Tovmasyan who confirmed her identity by recognizing the clothes she was wearing."

As to why she was mutilated before being killed, jihadis often cite the Koran's calls to cut off the hands, feet, and throats of infidels (e.g., Koran 5:33, 47:4).

Democratic Republic of Congo: Members of the Allied Democratic Forces, widely acknowledged as "an insurgent jihadist group," slaughtered at least 30 Christians and raped ten women and girls in five villages between Nov. 20 and Dec. 3. One of the survivors, Tony Longi, managed to escape his home in time and hide in the outside bathroom: "through the ventilator of the latrine he saw the rebels killing 4 members of his family including his wife and 3 children." According to one local official, "We got information that as they killed the Christians the[y] were saying that they were killing them because they refused to convert to Islam." Another report describing these raids said there were "scenes of terrified Christians flooding into the streets as the jihadists surrounded churches in each of the five villages armed with guns, machetes, clubs, swords and axes."

Uganda: A Muslim man beat and forced his wife to drink pesticide on learning that she had become Christian. Three months after Zubeda Nabirye, a 38-year-old mother of three, had secretly converted, her husband discovered Bibles in her possession and demanded if she had apostatized. She told him that "a friend had given me the Bibles, and I was using it to compare it with what is written in the Koran, and after all religion is a matter of personal choice... My husband began reading verses in the Koran that allowed men to beat their wives if they disobey them, and after that he started beating me with slaps and sticks. As if this was not enough, he forced me to take Dithane M-45," a toxic pesticide. He forced the poison into his wife's mouth; though she managed not to swallow most of it, she "ingested some while he was trying to strangle her and hitting her leg with sticks... He also injured her chest, neck and thigh." It was late in the night when "I regained consciousness and found myself surrounded by neighbors."

In a separate incident in Uganda, on Dec. 21, Muslims gang-raped a female church pastor. The widowed mother of five was walking home from Christmas preparations at her church when she heard someone crying for help in the dark. "When I stopped," explained the 50-year-old whose name is withheld for security reasons, "I was surprised to see people coming from the bush, and one of them shouted in the Arabic language, 'Allah is greater—we have warned you several times to stop converting Muslims to Christianity. Today we shall teach you a lesson that you will not forget.'" One of the men covered her mouth with a chemical-doused handkerchief that caused her to lose consciousness. She awoke three hours later and was found by her nephew. "He saw blood on my torn skirt. He could not stop tears rolling from his cheeks, crying and shouting for help, and he took me to a nearby clinic for medical treatment."

Pakistan: On Christmas day, a mob consisting of as many as 60 Muslim men attacked a church during Christmas service. According to the Dec. 30 report, "They aimed to kidnap and assault the women in attendance." However, the church's security guards and male congregants "fought back with bare hands against the staff-wielding intruders, giving the women time to escape. Many Christian men suffered blunt trauma injuries and fractures in the fight." Before things got violent, the Muslim invaders had made derogatory comments about the Christian women, adding that they were "looking dashing today. Let us have all of them in our beds." When one of the Christian defenders angrily rose up, "The Muslims," he said, "warned me never to stop them from doing whatever they wanted to do with Christian girls." The authorities, on arriving, "helped the defeated Muslims escape, and blamed Christians for fighting back."

"Yeah but Dennis, those are just a very few stories about some bad Muslims.  I'm sure there are an equal number of equally bad stories about Christians doing horrendous things!"  And then they will say really stupid stuff like, "The guy who just shot two people dead in Knoxville was a Catholic!"

Just remember that sometimes it's best not to cast our pearls of truth to the swine. They can't comprehend how Satan works because they don't believe he even exists.

In the meantime, Jesus continues to harvest thousands and tens of thousands of Muslims using dreams and visions. We hope this is more proof that Jesus is getting ready to invade times and space of planet earth and blow the trumpet to call His bride to the wedding!

Please remember to pray for the persecuted church.  The followers of Christ in America may soon be joining them.
