THE FACTS.Reader comment on item: The Islamic Invasion: Confronting the World's Fastest Growing Religion Submitted by JOHNSON EL-SHALOM (Nigeria), Feb 21, 2013 at 03:51 THE REASON FOR THE ISLAMIC INVASION, IS BECAUSE THEY WANT EVERYONE TO BE JUDGED ACCORDING TO THEIR LAWS. BUT THERE ARE SOME BIBLICAL FACTS ABOUT THIS LAWS WHICH I WANT TO CLARIFY. LET ME MAKE A LITTLE COMPARATIVE STUDIES BETWEEN THE OLD TESTAMENT (THE LAW) AND THE NEW TESTAMENT( THE GRACE) TO CLARIFY ALL THIS. IN DEUTERONOMY 18 VERSE 15, MOSES SAID " THE LORD YOUR GOD WILL RAISE UP FOR YOU A PROPHET LIKE ME, FROM AMONG YOU, FROM YOUR BRETHREN, TO HIM YOU SHALL HEED. EVEN THOUGH MOSES PROPHETICALLY PRESENTED JESUS CHRIST AS A PROPHET, THERE ARE CERTAIN FACTS TO PROOF THAT MOSES WAS TALKING ABOUT JESUS CHRIST, NOT SOMEONE ELSE. FIRST OF ALL, DURING THE TRANSFIGURATION OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, ACCORDING TO MATTHEW 17 VERSE 3-5 MOSES (AS A SPIRIT), HEARD THIS VOICE FROM HEAVEN " THIS IS MY BELOVED SON IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED". MOSES FINALLY UNDERSTOOD THAT JESUS CHRIST IS MORE THAN JUST A PROPHET. IN DEUTERONOMY 18 VERSES 15, MOSES SAID THAT THE PROPHET WILL BE LIKE HIM, IS THERE ANY SIMILARITIES BETWEEN JESUS AND MOSES? (1) DURING THE BIRTH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, HEROD KILLED MANY CHILDREN (MATTHEW 2 VERSES 12-18) AND DURING THE BIRTH OF MOSES, PHARAOH KILLED MANY LITTLE CHILDREN (EXODUS 1 VERSES 22 AND EXODUS 2) (2) SIMILAR VOICE, JOSEPH WAS TOLD "RISE AND TAKE THE CHILD AND HIS MOTHER AND GO TO THE LAND OF ISRAEL, FOR THOSE WHO SOUGHT THE LIFE OF THE CHILD ARE DEAD(MATTHEW 2 VERSES 19-20), THE LORD ALSO TOLD MOSES " GO BACK TO EGYPT FOR THE MEN SEEKING YOUR LIFE ARE DEAD" (EXODUS 4 VERSE 19) (3) ELISABETH, THE COUSIN OF MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS, WAS A DESCENDANT OF AARON THE BROTHER OF MOSES, THIS MEANS JESUS AND MOSES WERE HISTORICALLY RELATED (LUKE 1 VERSE 5 AND 36) (4) JESUS DIED AND RESSURECTED AND HIS DEAD BODY CANNOT BE FOUND TILL DATE (LUKE 24 VERSES 36-39), MOSES ALSO DIED AND GOD BURRIED HIM AND HIS DEAD BODY CANNOT BE FOUND TILL DATE (DEUTERONOMY 34 VERSES 5-6) (5) JESUS FASTED FOR FOURTY DAYS DRY, MOSES ALSO FASTED FOR FOURTY DAYS DRY. SINCE JESUS WAS THE ONE MOSES WAS TALKING ABOUT IN DEUTERONOMY 18 VERSE 15, THIS MEAN THAT WHATEVER JESUS SAID CONCERNING THE LAW IS THE FINAL AUTHORITY AND REVELATION. LET'S EXPLAIN LITTLE OF WHAT JESUS SAID CONCERNING THE LAW. (1) EXODUS 20 VERSE 3 " THOU SHALL NOT SERVE ANY OTHER GOD BUT ME". IF WE CHRISTIAN SERVED JEHOVAH THROUGH HIS SON (WORD) THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, DOES IT MEAN THAT WE ARE SERVING OTHER GOD? NO, JEHOVAH AND HIS WORD ARE ONE, WHETHER IT IS IN FLESH OR NOT. WE DO NOT DENY THE FACT THAT JEHOVAH HAS AUTHORITY OVER HIS WORD, I.E BY ALLOWING HIS WORD TO BECOME FLESH, YET HE AND HIS WORD ARE ONE. IF IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE TOTAL WORD OF GOD(JESUS) TO BECOME HUMAN FLESH AND FEEL PHYSICAL PAIN, IT WILL ALSO BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE DEVIL ( A SPIRIT), TO FEEL THE PHYSICAL PAIN OF HELL FIRE. THE SIGNS AND WONDERS BEING PERFOMED IN THE NAME OF JESUS IS ALSO A CLEAR EVIDENCE. (2) EXODUS 20 VERSE 8, REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY AND KEEP IT HOLY. JESUS AS THE FINAL AUTHORITY, ACCORDING TO DEUTERONOMY 18 VERSE 15, PRACTICALLY HEALED A MAN ON SABBATH DAY (LUKE 6 VERSE 5) AND JESUS SAID IT IS LAWFUL TO DO GOOD ON SABBATH. JESUS ALSO SAID THAT THE TRUE WORSHIPPERS ARE THOSE THAT WORSHIP THE FATHER IN TRUTH AND IN SPIRIT ( JOHN 4 VERSES 23-24). THIS MEANS THAT WHETHER YOU ARE A JEWISH CHRISTIAN THAT WORSHIP ON SATURDAY, OR A GENTILE CHRISTIAN THAT WORSHIP ON SUNDAY, ALL THAT GOD WANT FROM YOU,IS TRUE WORSHIP. DUE TO OUR DIFFERENT TIME ZONES, SATURDAY MORNING IN U.S.A CAN BE SUNDAY MORNING IN AUSTRALIA, SO PEOPLE CAN WORSHIP IN DIFFERENT DAYS BUT THE SAME SPIRITUAL HOUR. THE LAWS WERE SO MANY, BUT IN SUMMARY KILLING, ADULTERY, STEALING ALL CAN BE FORGIVEN THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND FINAL AUTHORITY. AMEN.
