I have listened to Mr Shoebat many times and am impressed with his knowledge of the Word of God, and his grasp of the end time events and how the Bible describes they will happen. I truly believe this man to be a true believer of Christ Jesus. I am an American of Scotch-Irish decent. I have never been to Israel or the Holy Land, but I love the Jewish people. Matter of fact the Bible tells me to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. How could I not love the Jewish People when in fact Jesus is a Jew, and the Bible itself is about Jews and their plight in this world. I have Jewish friends and truly love them in Christ. We should not be so judgmental and take the beam out of our own eyes before we attemtp to remove the speck from Mr Shoebat's eye.

Remember, everything we do or say, if it isn't done from the platform of Love, it's all like sounding brass and tinkling simbols. His opinion is just as important as the person who wrote the opinion I am responding to, and now my opinion. What matters is that God Loves You and has a wonderful plan for your life, if you will but simply trust Him, and accept the sacrifice of His Son Jesus, the only way to salvation in Him. He promised He would give us eternal life but not just that, He promised us the abundant life in the here and now. My prayer is that anyone who hasn't confessed Jesus the Christ as the Lord of your life will do that today. Simply ask Him to come into your heart and believe you have already received Him and you shall have Him. God bless you!
