Serving ALLAH's Still Alive Man From BethlehemYou may have noticed that I have not been mentioning the controversial term, son of God. This omission has been quite purposeful on my part. For example, in one of the earliest Scriptures, the Book of Acts, this term is almost never used when speaking of the Risen Messiah. But many other terms and titles are used. I personally find that this term is not at all helpful in our communication and becomes a wall and a barrier rather that a bridge. And in the one or two times that it is used in the Book of Acts, it is only used as a communication with Jews and so today I consider that it is usually not appropriate for Christians to use this term with Muslims. Therefore, it is regrettable and unfair and I am convinced that it is against God's will, to use a lack of Muslims being willing to recognize Jesus as God's son, as an official barrier to prevent Muslims from fully embracing God's Risen Messiah and placing faith in him. In the Book of Acts it was the evidence of the miraculous activities of the Risen Messiah that gave proof that he was alive which compelled belief and commitment by the early believers. For example, in the Book of Acts, Chapter 20, after the miraculous conversion of the former Rabbi Saul from Tarsus who became the Apostle/Rasuul Paul, he was arrested by the Jewish authorities for aggressively preaching that the Messiah had risen from the dead. So when the imprisoned Paul was appearing before King Agrippa, when Governor Festus was explaining Paul's crime to the King, it became apparent that his crime had nothing to do with him having even mentioned anything about the title of Son of God. Rather, what got him into trouble was his strong message and steadfast conviction that miraculously the once crucified Messiah was now still alive. “But had some questions against him about their own religion and about one Jesus, who had died but whom Paul affirmed to be alive.” (Acts 25:19) The fact that even today he is still alive and loves each of us is the message that I attempt to communicate to especially Muslims. My message is not a message which attempts to influence Muslims to leave Islam to become Christians. Definitely not! Nor is it a message about whether Isa/Jesus is the Son of God. I have observed that this debate usually produces unnecessary disagreement and is not the relevant issue. Also, mine is not the message of the early Greek Church authorities that ALLAH and this Risen Messiah must be best understood by applying an early trinity formula created by these sincere Greeks. Rather my message is that ALLAH's Messiah, who was once publicly murdered outside the gates of Jerusalem by the Roman occupiers, at the aggressive instigation of Jewish leaders, is right this moment still alive. Furthermore, he is at this very moment invisibly available for each of us to spiritually embrace so that he will become our wonderful living friend and caring shepherd to each of us. Though this amazing reality is ignored by most Jews and is even de facto ignored by many in the world wide Christian community, now is a vital time in the lives, the hearts and the minds of all Muslims. It is the time to no longer deny or ignore the very real presence of ALLAH's Risen Messiah though his presence is usually quietly invisible. But even though he is not seen, there have been several times that the Risen Messiah has gently communicated with this unworthy servant both about justice and about assisting Muslims to realize that God's compassionate Messiah did actually experience death before ALLAH raised him alive from the tomb into His presence. Furthermore, through several meetings with several retired generals in Riyadh Saudi Arabia in 1977, I have become convinced that the verse that appears to dogmatically teach that he was not killed or crucified, when it is understood correctly, teaches the opposite. I can honestly admit that there are times that I become weary and lonely as I sit hour after hour, paper after paper, writing for my website that now totals 200 papers and poems with a few of them having been translated into Arabic. But I have no other choice. My personal responsibility is to be faithful to Muslims and Arab Palestinians in serving our Risen Messiah. I have received much personal inspiration from a faithful older servant of ALLAH named Dawson Trotman who once wrote: “Don't do what others can and will do, if you can do what others can't or won't do.” There are many who could do better at what I do but they just don't possess my strong fear of GOD which compels me forward. This man, Dawson Trotman, later drowned while rescuing a woman who others could have saved but did not choose to do so. He chose to save her though he had a weak heart that gave its last beat as he was still in the water lifting her to the safety of the boat. There are many men and women who are much more capable than I am to explain our Risen Messiah's defeat of death to Muslims. But they have not chosen to do so. I have chosen to do so, though my ability is weak and my writing is often hard to follow. So until my artificial heart valve donated to me by a helpful cow wears out in four years or until the U.S. secret service agents change their minds about my Constitutional Rights to proclaim the Risen Isa and also to proclaim Justice on my website or until the Israeli Mousad decides to press a button to blow me up and will blame it on to Muslims, or whatever, I will use my final energies to do two things; to communicate with you my Muslim brothers and sisters about how much compassion the now Living Messiah who suffered and died but rose again, has for each of you. And to proclaim to Israel officials and to U.S officials that GOD remembers when powerful officials abuse their power to hurt and destroy others. So, oh Muslims, please soon embrace our Living Messiah and Islam will not be sorry. But I will also make this sad observation. In view of the contagiously spreading current Zionist influence, I will ask this controversial question of the U.S Christian communities. I would actually like to ask this question of all citizens of the U.S. but so many U.S. citizens are so dominated and even brainwashed by such a one sided pro Israeli bias that they would consider this question as ridiculous and anti-semetic. Yet, I consider it wrong to avoid asking this relevant question of Christians in view of today's pervasive anti-humanity crimes against Palestinians victims by both current and past Israeli leaders and many U.S leaders. In light of the variety of various types of stealing from Palestinians which I previously listed in this paper and how this broad variety of thievery more than fulfills the “den of thieves” metaphor first used by the ancient Prophet Jeremiah (Yeremiah) and centuries later quoted against Jerusalem's leaders by our now Risen Messiah, my relevant question is this: If both the Prophet Jeremiah and our now Risen Messiah together visited Israel, the occupied West Bank and Gaza, would they not both be overwhelmed with Grief? Would they not both steadfastly agree that under the current gangsters in Israel led by the ultra-nationalistic Benyamin Netanyahu that there is more stealing of everything required for a normal life for Palestinians, that has been callously and ruthlessly stolen from them by a degraded “den of thieves” who are more calloused than any thieves who have ever been observed by any of GOD's faithful Prophets? Yes, Jeremiah and Jesus would eagerly testify to the U.S. Congress, to the U.N., to the Arab league and to the Israeli Knesset the following: “The amount of thievery of human rights, of land, of lives and of human dignity being publicly and secretly stolen from innocent, exploited, brutalized and victimized Palestinians in the name of creating an apartheid state led by today's den of thieves, far exceeds any thievery in the Middle East by those labeled as terrorists.” Yet, this calloused thievery was possibly equaled by the amount of U.S. thievery callously perpetrated against American's Indians. But today's leaders of Israel have definitely been worse that any earlier “den of thieves” governing Israel because the earlier thieves did not have the benefit of U.S. assistance. So what would all of GOD's Prophets unitely cry out if they were to visit Jerusalem today? “But you oh current leaders of Israel have made GOD's house of prayer intended for all nations a den of thieves!” (Please read Isaiah 56:7; Jeremiah 7:11 and Mark 11:17) Yes, two thousand years ago wicked Israeli leaders manipulated a cruel public execution of GOD's Messiah. Yes, previous to 1948 the wicked Zionist propaganda machine convinced the then leaders of the world to believe a vicious, filthy lie: “A land without a people.” Yes, today leaders of Israel with the active assistance of the U.S. Congress and U.S. tax payers' money are a wicked den of thieves stealing life, land and a future from deprived Palestinians, in order to build Israel's own apartheid state on what is still mostly legally owned Palestinian land. Yet, it is ALLAH's Will that all of this horrible evil not be defeated with violence but with truth. And especially must it be defeated with the intended truth of the two profound verses of AN NISA 4:157 and 158, which justly hold the Jews responsible for GOD's Messiah's murder when their intended message is accurately understood. back to "Late 2007 - 2009" page __________________________________________________________ _________________________________________ __________________________ _____________ |
