The testimony of a slave is not admissible in court of law!
Now isn't this a disgrace of human rights, basically you can go and kill, rape murder a slave and another slave witness can not come forward and testify about it.
I thought that we are told that all religions teach good things to humanity so where is the good here when you are being told that no two humans are alike primarily the Muslim and the Non Muslim, Is there any more to say that Islam is not only prejudiced against slaves but doesn't even treat Christians, Jews alike neither it treats people as humans but as Muslims, non Muslims (Kafirs) so then can you imagine the treatment that is given to non Muslims in Muslim countries, look at Pakistan and Egypt, in Pakistan they are desecrating Churches and killing the Christians, now the Mullahs want to bring in Sharia Islamic law and ban things like Coke, Pepsi, Fast food stores like McDonalds and Kentucky, one may well ask what has fast food got to do with Islam or drinking Coke in Pakistan, Islam is a charade and a joke truly the religion of the devil himself.
This just shows the blatant disregard of Muslim society willing to live in today's world with other cultures and creed, they still think that they are living in 6th Century Arabia where they can go around wielding the sword and chopping peoples heads off or forcing people to become Muslims. Muslims in Iraq led by Mullahs go around planting bombs becoming suicide bombers and killing innocent civilians then they call it Jihad and it is ok to kill people in the name of God, what nonsense.
Look at the persecution of Christians in Pakistan, Egypt, Nigeria, isn't this hypocrisy, everybody has got the same rights we are all born as humans first not Muslims not Christians so why this filthy treatment, can you justify it? God does not ask you to kill for him, God does not demand blood of fellow human beings so why do you go on doing it, ask yourself this sincerely, would you be happy if somebody tortured you to change your religion, I sincerely do not think or hope so, if religion's message is of love and peace then do that and convince people that your way is the right way!
An example of the loss of the freedom of expression is noted in the recent cases in Pakistan where over 20 Christians and hundreds of Ahmadis have been imprisoned under the ‘Section 295-C blasphemy law’. The Blasphemy law was only applied to Islam, and stipulated that no-one could say anything against the prophet or his family. In 1980 the punishment was three years in prison. In 1982 criticism of the Qur'an was added to the law. By 1986 the punishment was increased to life imprisonment. Then in 1990 the law stipulated that words, innuendo and even insinuation against Muhammad or the Qur'an, on the witness of one good Muslim, would be punishable by life imprisonment or death. Today the punishment is death.
One may say that England has a blasphemy law as well, applied to Christianity alone. Yet, who has been punished under the law? No-one, nor will the law ever be used, this is due to the democratic nature of this state. On the other hand, many are punished in the Islamic state of Pakistan and have been imprisoned because of this blasphemy law, such as the boy Salamat Masih, the bangle vendor Chand Bakhat, Gul Masih, Mohammad Arshad Javaid and many more. Others have even been killed (i.e. the paraplegic watch repairer Tahir Iqbal, the teacher Naimat Ahmer, and the labourer Bando Masih) (from the Pakistani journal “Newsline” November/December 1993, pgs.24-36B), and all for the simple reason that they allegedly ‘criticized the prophet.’
This points out just how dangerous it is for Muslims or non-Muslims to criticize Islam, it clearly shows the same sort of attitude prevalent today in Muslim countries which existed in Muhammad's time in the 6th Century, this brings the whole perspective of Religion of love and peace into question, if somebody criticizes your Religion then explain to this person through logic, historical data, books, teachings that what he thinks is not right, not sentence him/her to death, that just achieves more hatred from Non-Muslims and shows ignorance instead of resolving issues and living in peace.
God does not need a State to intervene on his behalf and sentence someone to death, he can deal with the idolaters or blasphemous people himself rightly so, if we are to believe in him then we leave it to him to sort out our messes!
Well consider this is what Jesus Said for his followers and compare with what is happening today in the Muslim world...
Matthew Chapter 5
1 "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and
falsely say all kinds of evil
against you because of me.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven,
for in the same way they
persecuted the prophets who were before
you.
Does that sound like the evildoers of today who cite racial hatred, kill innocent civilians and call themselves Muslims, Jesus told his followers to suffer on his behalf if need be and help the needy, he went as far as to say to even help those that persecute you and bless those that use you spitefully.
It's hardly surprising that many people like to call themselves followers of Muhammad who was nothing more then a heathen and idolater himself.
It's not easy being a Christian but saying that it doesn't mean that there are no real Christians today for there are many who follow our Lord Jesus Christ.
Love and Peace and all roads lead to God!!!
There is only one way to God and that is through Jesus of Nazareth (Messiah)?
I have often heard people who believe in One God to say that all roads lead to God, as long as you do good things, and stay away from bad then you will go to heaven.
Surprise Surprise .
All roads don't lead to heaven but only one way to God and that was given through Jesus of Nazareth (Messiah), you may well ask that this is a myth, I will explain...
"I am the way the truth and the life. No one
comes to the Father except through Me."
(John 14 : 6)
God's justice has to be met and as believers of Jesus Christ we know that there is only One God and he is a holy God, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient.
God says that the punishment of Sin is death so when Adam and Eve sinned against God they were thrown down to earth to live and die like us, not immortal anymore.
How do we meet God's justice?
You can only be atoned for your sins not clean them up, the sins do not vanish, atone means to cover your sins, they are still there but how do we get atoned (cover our sins) and be within God's justice.
Well in the old days the symbol for atonement of Sin was through sacrifice of an animal, sheep, goat, bullock for an entire nation not just for one person but this was to be symbolic for the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus of Nazareth (Messiah) would make on the cross to atone everyone not just for the Jewish people, this atonement comes with his blood.
So God's justice cannot be met by just doing good things, you have to believe in the Messiah and you are atoned for your sins by faith not by Works, I repeat not by Works alone.
There is no such thing as good and bad will lead you to heaven contrary to popular belief...
Islam demands that you strive for salvation through works. The Bible shows that such a system is powerless. Regrettably many in professing Christendom also believe that they can earn their salvation people like Jehovah's witness and the Mormons.
This is the way of Cain
Adam and Eve had to find that out for themselves.
After they had sinned we find the following account:-
Genesis 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Notice three things
1. They did works to "cover" themselves.
2. The covering was made of herbage.
3. The covering was incomplete - it was only
"aprons".
This is man made religion. Like Islam, unbiblical Christianity, God will not accept this.
That is why we find a little later God showing His displeasure at the covering.
Genesis 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
Notice three things
1. the LORD God did the works.
2. the covering was made of skins (an animal had to die)
3. the covering was complete - coats instead of aprons.
It's your choice, you can come to God with your own righteousness and covering (rags and aprons) or you can accept His provision- Christ the sacrifice and be completely covered once for all.
Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
If God's justice requires death as punishment for sin then it has to be met and it was met by Messiah being crucified and dying on the cross for our sins and through his blood we are atoned for as prophet Isaiah said our righteousness is but filthy rags in the sight of God.
Romans 4:7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
Muslims find this hard to understand because they have been taught good deeds and bad deeds, if the good deeds outweigh the bad deeds then you go to heaven, it's easy to understand when you read above how the Jewish people used to be atoned for their sins.
Most religions preach atonement of sins and salvation, enter into heaven through works, I am afraid it is not true.
Our righteousness is a filthy bag of rags in front of God, it does not even get near to his justice let alone let us into the narrow gate of heaven.
We are told this by Jesus Messiah:
Matthew Chapter 7:15-20
Beware of false prophets, which come to you
in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men
gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good
fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,
neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit
is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
