THE TIME FOR ATONEMENT
Islamic Extremism is the result of putting the words of Muhammad, and his original intent of true peace (Islam), out of its original context. Christian Dispensationalism is the result of putting the Words of the Scriptures, and the very nature of the Law, out of its original context.
Islamic extremists believe that infidels, what they call "non-believers" or what Christians call "non-Muslims", must be smitten and beheaded. Christians of mainstream believe that the Old Testament, what anti-legalism calls with mockery as the "Law Of Moses" or "Mosaic Covenant", is done away with and we should only focus on the "New Testament/Covenant" instead which also means we should not show our faith by our works and should only focus on "grace" (unmerited favor) so "we can sin again and again because grace will save us anyway"….we should not show how we love God Almighty "by doing" what He commands us, and instead focus on "being loved" by God Almighty.
Muhammad believes that there is only one god, and that people who worship more than one god (idolatry) must be destroyed/beheaded…these Quran verses refer to "pagans" or heathen or gentile or "people from other nations" who are also "lawless" in consequence. In the Bible "lawlessness" is breaking just even one of the Law, and the Law is covered in both the Old Testament and New Testament. In the Bible the kings of Israel were commanded to "utterly destroy" the corrupted ones (giants or nephilim and the remnants of their bloodline) and not to spare their women and children and even animals (genetically modified). The remnants who are also genetically corrupted (most are diluted to normal human height) have an "innate" tendency to transgress the Law (sin), and by their very nature of worshiping multiple/other gods (polytheism), are still not capable of fully returning to the Law (repent)…Muhammad refers to these same people as "pagans" or heathen or gentile or "people from other nations" who are also "lawless" in consequence.
Muhammad is one of the greatest man to have ever lived and he is fully and deeply knowledgeable of the truth surrounding Ishmael and his father Abraham and brother Isaac…he even knows how dysfunctional the family is and what Abraham did for Ishmael and Hagar and where they are known to be relocated…and how Hagar and Ishmael even took Isaac during the time Isaac ran away and was very afraid of his father Abrahams' God.
Again, Muhammad's intent is true peace (Islam) and following the law that will maintain this peace…however he intends to destroy anyone who are "lawless" (see Bible meaning) specifically the ones who does not follow the law and worships multiple gods (idolaters). The kings in the Bible are commanded to do the same.
Now, understanding that the Bible and the Quran are two different matters in nature, notice Mainstream Christians are afraid of and hated Muslims and refer to them as "barbaric" yet they are blind to the fact that even in the Bible leaders/kings were ordered to utterly destroy the lawless/corrupted ones...even Phinehas did not hesitate to end the curse…they have carried the truth of the Bible and "mixed and confused" ("Babylonized") it towards "grace". On the other side of the fence, Muslim Extremists took the Quran out of context, essentially Muhammad's true intent of peace out of context, that any non-Muslim must be beheaded and destroyed.
How far did Ishmael and Isaac have been rifted…and did Abraham in the remaining days of his life even realized that his lack of faith and his act of breaking the Law resulted in his succeeding generations killing each other for the birthright? That God Almighty, being both compassionate and just, have resolved the result of Abrahams mistakes and even took care of Hagar and Ishmael until they can survive on their own. Ishmael never turned away from God Almighty, for he knows that God Almighty recognizes his natural birthright, and by recognizing God Almighty he also legitimizes his claim for the birthright.
Understand the true context of the Bible from the language, the culture, cultural meaning of the words, the events happening during those times, the daily lives, the environment, the upbringing and perspectives of the ones who wrote them…and most importantly, who were the original audience of the Scriptures when it was written and what cultural mindset they are in at that time. Do not be deceived. Do not do eisegesis.
Salam (SLM), or as what the we walkers of the Way say it, Shalom (SLM). May the peace of rest Day be unto us all.
May the lost sheep who found their way back, and are now turning back to the Law, be sealed in the Book Of Life.
