𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐃𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐖𝐚𝐬 𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝; 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐧 Let’s talk facts , no shouting. No insults. Many people assume that all early Christians believed Jesus himself was crucified. That is not historically accurate. In the 1st–3rd centuries, Christianity was not one voice. There were: •Jewish... Christians •Gnostics •Docetists •Ebionites Each group had different beliefs about Jesus — his nature, mission, and even his death. So the idea that “all Christians agreed from day one” is not true, historically. There is a popular theory about Simon of Cyrene that exist in history Several early Christian sects believed Jesus was not the one crucified, but Simon of Cyrene was. This is not from Islam. It is not the Qur'an or Muslim scholars that started the argument. it is from Christian sources. •Basilides (2nd century Christian teacher in Egypt) held the opinion that Jesus was not crucified, that it was Simon of Cyrene that was crucified in his place, while Jesus was saved by God. This is recorded by Irenaeus, a Church Father who opposed Basilides. So even those who rejected the belief admit it existed. You can see this isn't another “Muhammad (saw) copied something”, it was already there 600 years earlier. 𝐀𝐬 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐐𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝, 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐡 𝐒𝐖𝐓 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬: “They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but it was made to appear so to them…” (Qur’an 4:157). Even the Bible shows confusion at the scene.😁. Let’s be honest small. •Darkness everywhere •People running •Roman execution •Victim beaten beyond recognition •Someone else already carrying the cross (Simon of Cyrene). If today police can mistake identity under stress, 2,000 years ago no CCTV, no ID card, but everyone is suddenly 100% sure? Abeg, make we reason am. To my friend Mex Asher & other Crusaders, if your salvation depends on one historical event, and your own early followers were arguing about who died, then the matter is not as settled as you claim. Don't you think so? As we always say in our local parlance: “𝐈𝐟 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐧𝐨 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐧𝐚 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞“. As Muslims, Islam teaches us that Jesus is not God. He is a servant and Messenger of God, and that God saved him from the Jews that wanted to kill him. This belief isn't introduced by Islam. It existed among early Christians. As"Ummatan Wasatan", the Qur’an restores God’s honour and Jesus’ dignity. The theology of Crucifixion developed later, not unanimously at the start As Muslims, we didn't deny the crucifixion out of stubbornness. Rather, Islam — sided with an early, documented Christian belief that God does not abandon His chosen messengers.show more

JESUS WAS NOT CRUCIFIED — Early Christians believed Simon of Cyrene was crucified, not Jesus, just as Muslims believe. So this isn’t a new Muslim idea. The claim that Jesus died for your sins is a later story created to liberate Pauline Christians from God’s commandments.

Was Jesus Really Crucified? Gospel of John 19:17 says Jesus carried his own cross. Matthew 27:32, Mark 15:21, Luke 23:26 all say Simon of Cyrene carried the cross instead. Why the contradiction? 🤔 John’s gospel was written decades later, and he never actually met Jesus. Plus Early Christian writings (over 100 were removed from the Bible we have today!) tell a different story: * Second Treatise of the Great Seth (NHC VII,2, 55–56): Jesus says Simon was crucified in his place. * Apocalypse of Peter (NHC VII,3, 81–83): Jesus watches Simon get crucified Then in the Qur’an 4:157 is says “They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him but it was made to appear so to them.” 👉 So who was really crucified…. Jesus or Simon?

Your claim that Jesus of Nazareth never existed is historically false. Most atheists who have studied the record accept that a historical Jesus existed. His existence as a real first century figure is not a matter of Christian faith….its mainstream historical consensus. Scholars across the spectrum including leading agnostic atheist New Testament expert Bart D Ehrman (see attached video) affirm that Jesus was a real person who lived, taught and was crucified in Judea under Pontius Pilate. This is based on multiple independent early sources as we have strong non Christian corroboration from both Jewish and Roman writers who had every incentive to ignore or dismiss him but they didnt. Here is four of the earliest non Christian references: 1.) Jewish historian Josephus (37–100AD) In Antiquities of the Jews Josephus describes Jesus as “a wise man” who performed “surprising deeds” was a teacher and “was crucified by Pontius Pilate at the suggestion of the Jewish leaders.” He even mentions “James…the brother of Jesus” and records his execution and refers to Jesus as “the Christ” independently confirming the very claim of the early church. 2.) Roman historian Tacitus (56–120AD) who was hostile to Christians and despised them: In “Annals 15:44” he confirms that “Christus” suffered the extreme penalty of crucifixion under Pontius Pilate during the reign of Tiberius. He called Christianity “a mischievous superstition” that originated in Judea and spread to Rome. Tacitus recorded that Emperor Nero blamed the Christians for the Great Fire of Rome in 64AD using them as scapegoats to divert public anger from himself. 3.) Roman Governor Pliny the Younger (61–113AD) wrote a detailed letter to Emperor Trajan asking how to handle “these Christians.” He states in his letter: “These Christians were accustomed to meet on a fixed day before dawn and sing responsively a hymn to Christ as to a GOD and to BIND themselves by oath….refusing to return a trust when called upon to do so.” Pliny was investigating Christians because the movement was growing so rapidly causing social tension. He did not like Christians and even tortured some to find out what they were doing in their meetings. He believed Christianity was a “depraved excessive superstition” because from a Roman viewpoint worshiping a crucified Jewish man as God was ridiculous and subversive. Their loyalty to Christ bothered Pliny who expressed confusion about the legal implications of someone identifying as a Christian as there was no clear law against the faith itself. Emperor Trayjan replies to Pliny: “They are not to be sought out; if they are denounced and convicted, they are to be punished with this reservation that whoever denies that he is a Christian and really proves it..that is by worshiping our gods even though he was under suspicion in the past shall obtain pardon through repentance.” 4.) Roman historian Suetonius who lived from 69–122AD: “In Life of Claudius” page 25.4 he refers to “Christus” as the one who “instigated” disturbances among Jews in Rome eventually leading Emperor Claudius to expel them (this historical fact aligns w Acts 18:2). No ancient critic….pagan, Jewish or otherwise ever denied Jesus existed or was crucified. They mocked his teachings, ridiculed the resurrection and attacked his followers but they never questioned the basic historical facts of his life and death. Theism doesnt disprove the existence of gods and the historical reality of Jesus isnt dependent on proving his divinity. It simply establishes that the central figure of Christianity was not invented. He was a real person whose life and death are attested by early, independent and often hostile sources Your flippant ‘toasts and dog butts’ dismissal doesnt hold up against the historical evidence. Jesus was a real first century figure….a fact confirmed by multiple independent ancient sources and not just the Bible.

🚨 ALERT AMERICA: ANOTHER CHURCH CONVERTED - AND THEY NAMED IT “MOSQUE OF JESUS” Masjid Isa Ibn Maryam (“Mosque of Jesus, Son of Mary”) — Syracuse, New York This is the next church takeover — and they didn’t just convert a Christian house of worship. They spit in the face of Christians with the branding. They turned a church into a mosque… and then labeled it “Mosque of Jesus.” That’s not respect. That’s psychological warfare. Because Islam does not honor the Jesus of the Bible. Islam’s “Jesus” is not the Son of God. He is not crucified. He does not resurrect. And he does not save. The Islamic version of Jesus is used as a tool to refute Christianity, dismantle the Cross, and validate Muhammad. And that’s exactly why Christians must stop falling for the oldest deception in the book: ⚠️ “WE BELIEVE IN JESUS” IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS Muslim influencers and apologists aggressively target Christians with the same scripted tactic: They claim the Quran “respects Jesus”… Then insist the Quran’s version is more authentic… While quietly destroying everything Christianity is built on. This isn’t dialogue. It’s conversion strategy. Major Islamic online figures have built massive platforms pushing these narratives, using emotional manipulation, debate traps, and “same Jesus” messaging designed to confuse Christians and blur the line between truth and submission. ✅ THE CORE DIFFERENCE: ISLAM ERADICATES THE CROSS Christianity stands on one foundation: ✝️ Christ crucified and risen. Islam explicitly denies it: 📌 “They did not kill him, nor crucify him…” — Qur’an 4:157 📌 Those who say Christ is God are labeled disbelievers — Qur’an 5:17 / 5:72 📌 Christians are commanded to be fought and subdued — Qur’an 9:29 This is not a “small theological disagreement.” It is a direct assault on the center of Christianity. And the ultimate endgame is not hidden: Islamic tradition describes Jesus returning not to redeem humanity, but to destroy the cross and enforce Islamic dominance. THIS IS NOT “RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.” IT’S RELIGIOUS DOMINANCE. Churches across America are falling silent… …and mosques are rising in their place, not just as places of prayer, but as permanent ideological infrastructure. And now they are taking Christian sanctuaries and rebranding them with Christian names to neutralize Christian resistance. That is not coexistence. That is conquest. Church by church. City by city. State by state. America: wake up.

Jesus Christ opposes everything Christianity stands for. Let’s look deeper into what the early Christians actually believed. Groups like the Gnostics, Marcionites, and Cathars didn’t just think Yahweh was a different God, they believed he was a lesser God, often referred to as the “Demiurge,” who created the material world and trapped souls in physical bodies. They saw Jesus as a messenger from a higher, God of Light who came to liberate humanity from Yahweh’s control. Marcion, was the man who compiled the first Christian Bible, and he even went as far as rejecting the entire Old Testament scriptures, saying it wasn’t the word of Jesus’ God at all. Now, think about how far we've come from those beliefs. The modern church not only embraces Yahweh but builds its entire foundation on the Old Testament. Jesus’ teachings were meant to free us from that, but have been distorted and buried under centuries of religious control. For many of the early Christians it wasn’t about sin. The Gnostics believed that knowledge, not blind faith, was the key to salvation. They saw Jesus as a bringer of that secret knowledge, teaching us to awaken to our own divine spark. If Jesus returned today, what would he think of a system all about control and power over wisdom and liberation? He would proudly stand against the church today, and be labeled the antichrist by those who follow the false light of Christianity. #antichrist #jesus #secondcoming #christconsciousness #exchristian #hiddenknowledge #endtimes #armageddon #revelation #gnostic #cathars

⚠️ WARNING, CHRISTIANS ⚠️ Islam’s “Jesus” Returns to Destroy Christianity A counterfeit Christ is being unleashed to lead believers astray - a global Islamic deception weaponizing the name of Jesus to erase the Cross and conquer the West. From London to Texas, Islam’s billion-dollar PR blitz is spreading like wildfire - convincing Christians that the “Isa” of the Qur’an is the same as the Jesus of the Bible. It’s not. Islamic doctrine denies His divinity, denies His crucifixion, and denies His resurrection - reducing the Savior of the world to a mere messenger serving Muhammad’s agenda. 👉 “They did not kill him, nor crucify him.” — Qur’an 4:157 👉 “Those who say, ‘Christ is God,’ are disbelievers.” — Qur’an 5:17, 5:72 👉“Fight those who do not believe in Allah.” — Qur’an 9:29 Islam doesn’t honor Jesus — it weaponizes Him. This isn’t interfaith harmony; it’s a calculated campaign to blur the line between Christianity and Islam, to weaken believers, and to prepare the way for an Islamic world order. Even Islamic scholars admit that when their “Jesus” returns, it will not be to save the world — but to destroy the Cross and abolish every faith except Islam (Ibn Kathir, Tafsir, Vol. 3). 🔥 Do not be deceived. The “Jesus” of Islam is a hollow counterfeit - crafted to deny, replace, and ultimately destroy Him. ✝️ Stand firm, Christians. The real Jesus cannot - and will not - be rewritten.

CNN NOW FRAUDULENTLY CLAIMS THAT JESUS WAS NOT JEWISH BUT A PALESTINIAN. I have appeared with Father Edward Beck on National TV before. This is a disgraceful interview which is the very essence of fake news. JESUS was not a Palestinian as Palestine did not exist at that time. Clearly Father Edward Beck is utterly ignorant of Even the Christian Bible (New Testament). Jesus was a Jew who was murdered by the Romans for being a JEW and for proclaiming himself the king of the Jews. He was not an Arab, not a Palestinian. Islam did not exist until 700 years after Jesus. This is a disgraceful interview that undermines CNN's entire claim to any kind of truth. I have rarely seen such historical fiction and such fraudulents.

We never see in scripture Jesus calling Mary “mother”. He never called her mother, but woman. So why should we call Mary something Jesus did not? According to Jewish Custom it was the expectation of the firstborn to care for the welfare of his widowed mother. Jesus chose to leave the welfare of his widowed mother to John, who was a believer and was present, rather than entrusting her to His half brothers, who were not believers at the time and who were not even present at His crucifixion. There is no contextual proof within Scripture itself that would point to Jesus broadening Mary’s role as “mother” of all Christians. Words have meaning and it is defined by the context. You should understand the overall context before you create meaning and doctrine.

“We are saving Christianity. We are saving God.” -Eric Trump It takes a certain type of diabolical narcissism to believe that we can save God rather than that God is saving us. No matter where you land politically, we must name Christian Nationalism as a theological heresy. Rather than Jesus being the Savior of the world, political leaders claim to be the saviors of the world, of humanity, and civilization. And America replaces Jesus as God’s central messianic force at work in the world. Beware of anyone who says that they are saving God or even saving the world. There is only one Savior - and it is not Donald Trump. Rebuke it… in the name of Jesus.

Pastor Tolu, whatever Pastor Segun Onayinka was accused of was not merely an accusation. He has preached some of the most destructive heresies. The video below is an example. From minute 0:13–0:40, he says God cannot kill or does not kill. We have had this discussion before here on CT. Anyone who says God cannot kill or does not kill necessarily ends up holding one or more of the following positions: That the God of the Old Testament is not the true God. That He is evil. That Scripture is not inerrant. And Pastor Segun Onayinka holds all these positions, as we will see in the video. From minute 1:58–2:38, he says Jesus, the true God, when He came, hurt no one, killed no one, and made no one sick; therefore, that is the true representation of God. This is the heresy of Marcion, who taught that the God of the Old Testament was evil and wicked, while Jesus alone is the true God. But God Himself says He kills and gives life. He is merciful, but He also judges with wrath. “See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no god beside Me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out of My hand.” — Deuteronomy 32:39 And when God revealed Himself to Moses, He declared both His mercy and His justice: — Exodus 34:6–7 This is God’s self-disclosure about Himself. However, Marcion created a new canon of Scripture for himself in order to uphold this heresy. He removed all the Old Testament books and retained only parts of Paul’s writings. He also removed portions connected to the Jews. That was deeply antisemitic. That same bitter antisemitism found in Marcion’s heresy appears to have been inherited by Pastor Segun Onayinka, as we will see in the video. From minute 2:57–3:12, he blatantly rejects that Jesus is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. He says one of the twenty-four elders who called Him that was corrected because he was a Jew. Firstly, Jesus is the Lion. Secondly, no one corrected the elder. These elders stand before God’s throne. They are holy beings. But Pastor Tolu, this man whom you say was merely “accused” blatantly rejected Scripture, which says Jesus is both the Lion and the Lamb. But did Jesus kill? Of course He did. He is God. The One who gives life also has the authority to take it. They say Jesus was never recorded killing anyone in the New Testament. Well, Jesus did not begin existing in the New Testament. He is eternal. And Jude records Him killing the entire rebellious generation of Israel: “Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.” — Jude 1:5 Jesus did kill. He can. He is God. But this is Segun Onayinka. By the way, this is one of his more tolerable heretical positions. He has said worse. He believes communion and baptism are not necessary. He believes Jesus is not coming back, no second coming, that He never left. Look, if Jesus is not coming back, then there is no resurrection of the dead. And if there is no resurrection, then we have no hope. As Paul said: “If the dead are not raised, ‘Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.’” — 1 Corinthians 15:32 Paul even asked: “What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, ‘Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.’” — 1 Corinthians 15:32 These kinds of teachings were condemned by the apostles. Paul cursed those who taught it. All of them. Peter cursed them so much in 2 Peter that the early church almost didn't add the book to the canon. This is precisely why Paul left Timothy in Ephesus and Titus in Crete: to silence those who taught such things. Finally, he held all these views while claiming biblical and theological scholarship that towered above every Nigerian preacher. He claimed he was part of a Bible translation committee. He has been asked which one, and till date, there has been no answer. We want to be moderate. But if the early church heard what he preached, he would have been declared anathema instantly. Pastor Segun Onayinka, unless he has changed and repented, has preached some of the most dangerous heresies in this nation. Preachers like him should not be tolerated in the community of the sanctified. He doesn't hold to sound doctrine. Scripturally, he is unfit to be an overseer. But you claim he was falsely accused. He wasn't. Pastor Segun Onayinka has preached has not preached the sound gospel of the faith. And God will put Satan under our feet soon. Amen.

This is the heresy of Marcion, who taught that the God of the Old Testament was evil and wicked, while Jesus alone is the true God. But God Himself says He kills and gives life. He is merciful, but He also judges with wrath. “See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no god beside Me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out of My hand.” — Deuteronomy 32:39 And when God revealed Himself to Moses, He declared both His mercy and His justice: — Exodus 34:6–7 This is God’s self-disclosure about Himself. However, Marcion created a new canon of Scripture for himself in order to uphold this heresy. He removed all the Old Testament books and retained only parts of Paul’s writings. He also removed portions connected to the Jews. That was deeply antisemitic. That same bitter antisemitism found in Marcion’s heresy appears to have been inherited by Pastor Segun Onayinka, as we will see in the video. From minute 2:57–3:12, he blatantly rejects that Jesus is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. He says one of the twenty-four elders who called Him that was corrected because he was a Jew. Firstly, Jesus is the Lion. Secondly, no one corrected the elder. These elders stand before God’s throne. They are holy beings. But Pastor Tolu, this man whom you say was merely “accused” blatantly rejected Scripture, which says Jesus is both the Lion and the Lamb. But did Jesus kill? Of course He did. He is God. The One who gives life also has the authority to take it. They say Jesus was never recorded killing anyone in the New Testament. Well, Jesus did not begin existing in the New Testament. He is eternal. And Jude records Him killing the entire rebellious generation of Israel: “Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.” — Jude 1:5 Jesus did kill. He can. He is God. But this is Segun Onayinka. By the way, this is one of his more tolerable heretical positions. He has said worse. He believes communion and baptism are not necessary. He believes Jesus is not coming back, no second coming, that He never left. Look, if Jesus is not coming back, then there is no resurrection of the dead. And if there is no resurrection, then we have no hope. As Paul said: “If the dead are not raised, ‘Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.’” — 1 Corinthians 15:32 Paul even asked: “What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, ‘Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.’” — 1 Corinthians 15:32 These kinds of teachings were condemned by the apostles. Paul cursed those who taught it. All of them. Peter cursed them so much in 2 Peter that the early church almost didn't add the book to the canon. This is precisely why Paul left Timothy in Ephesus and Titus in Crete: to silence those who taught such things. Finally, he held all these views while claiming biblical and theological scholarship that towered above every Nigerian preacher. He claimed he was part of a Bible translation committee. He has been asked which one, and till date, there has been no answer. We want to be moderate. But if the early church heard what he preached, he would have been declared anathema instantly. Pastor Segun Onayinka, unless he has changed and repented, has preached some of the most dangerous heresies in this nation. Preachers like him should not be tolerated in the community of the sanctified. He doesn't hold to sound doctrine. Scripturally, he is unfit to be an overseer. But you claim he was falsely accused. He wasn't. Pastor Segun Onayinka has preached has not preached the sound gospel of the faith. And God will put Satan under our feet soon. Amen.

Progressive Christians portray Jesus as an activist killed by the state, basically executed by Roman “ICE agents” who were just following orders. That’s not why Jesus died. Jesus gave up His life voluntarily. “No one takes my life from me, but I lay it down of my own accord.” - John 10:18 He had the authority to lay it down and the authority to take it up again. That command came from the Father. Progressives paint this weak, hippie Jesus but that isn’t who He was. Jesus is God.

THE ONE WORD JESUS NEVER SAID If Jesus only meant the Eucharist as a symbol, there is one word He could have used. He never did. That omission changed history. It still divides Christianity today. And once you notice it, it is difficult to unsee. In John chapter 6, Jesus tells the crowd something that shocks them more than any miracle He had performed. “I am the living bread that came down from heaven... the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.” The crowd immediately understands His meaning. Not symbolically. Literally. They begin arguing among themselves. “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” This is the turning point. If they had misunderstood Him, this was the perfect opportunity to clarify. Imagine if Jesus had said, “You misunderstood Me. I only meant this figuratively.” Or, “My flesh simply represents My teaching.” Or, “This is only a symbol.” Instead, He does the exact opposite. He repeats Himself. Again. And again. With even stronger language. “My flesh is true food.” “My blood is true drink.” “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.” The Greek text becomes even more striking. Earlier in the discourse, St. John uses the ordinary Greek verb for eating. Then, as the tension rises, he changes to another verb that literally means “to chew” or “to gnaw.” The language becomes more concrete, not less. Jesus intensifies the claim instead of softening it. Then something extraordinary happens. Many of His own disciples leave. Not His enemies. His disciples. They say, “This saying is hard. Who can accept it?” Notice what Jesus does next. He lets them go. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus often corrected misunderstandings. When Nicodemus thought Jesus meant physical birth, Jesus explained. When the disciples misunderstood the leaven of the Pharisees, Jesus explained. When people thought He was speaking about literal sleep instead of death, Jesus explained. But here, where His teaching causes many disciples to walk away... He gives no correction. No clarification. No apology. No pursuit. Instead, He turns to the Twelve and asks, “Will you also go away?” Peter answers with one of the most beautiful professions of faith in Scripture. “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” Notice that Peter does not say, “Now we understand.” He says, in effect, “We do not fully understand, but we trust You.” That is faith. About one year later, at the Last Supper, Jesus fulfills what He promised. He does not say, “This symbolizes my body.” He does not say, “This reminds you of my body.” He says, “This is my body.” “This is my blood.” The first Christians understood these words exactly as they were spoken. Around A.D. 107, while being led to martyrdom in Rome, St. Ignatius of Antioch warned Christians about those who refused to believe that the Eucharist is truly the flesh of Jesus Christ. This is remarkable. He wrote this only a few years after the death of St. John the Apostle. The belief in the Real Presence was not a medieval invention. It was the faith of the Apostolic Church. A few decades later, St. Justin Martyr explained to the Roman Emperor that Christians did not receive ordinary bread and ordinary wine, but the flesh and blood of Christ made present through the words of Jesus. Generation after generation, the testimony remains the same. The Eucharist is not merely sacred. It is Christ Himself. This also explains something many people overlook. Every miracle Jesus performed restored earthly life. The blind received sight. The lame walked. The dead were raised. But every one of those people eventually died again. The Eucharist is different. It is the only gift Jesus gave that is ordered toward eternal life itself. “Whoever eats this bread will live forever.” No prophet could make that promise. No angel could make that promise. Only God.

Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac (Munther Isaac منذر اسحق) | Palestinian Theologian & Activist | Hope Evangelical Lutheran Church: Christian Zionism is far from the ethics of Jesus like love, justice & care for the oppressed. Even if you believe God has a special plan for Jews, that can't be at the expense of justice, human rights, or the teachings of Jesus. "Love your neighbor as yourself" is as central as "love God with all your heart." Jesus was not about political entitlement for any group. The idea of "chosen people" must be examined. The best expression of belief is not what you demand but how you treat others. Christian Zionism is obsessed with entitlement & what we gain. It is so far away from the ethics & teachings of Jesus.

Remember the world outrage when a statue of Jesus was destroyed in Lebanon? No, not the one destroyed by an Israeli soldier. The one destroyed by Islamists last December in the Christian Dora area of Beirut, because they were upset at the playing of Christmas carols. That desecration - virtually identical to the one done by the Israeli soldier - did not cause any international attention. It barely registered even in Lebanese media. So why is one incident so reprehensible and the other one business as usual? Could it be that the outrage is not at the action itself but an excuse to incite hatred against Jews while pretending to defend Christianity? Because any objective observer can see that the danger to Christians from Muslims is a hell of a lot higher than from Jews.

🚨Islamization of Red State Texas Rages On (WARNING CHRISTIANS!) Masjid Al-Ikhlas in San Antonio is building a new mosque with a dedicated dawah center run by the Shahadah Foundation. The mosque operates under Sharia, requiring all programs to be approved by its Shura board while providing funeral services according to Islamic law. The foundation’s mission is to assist refugees and immigrants - while actively converting them to Islam. In an unearthed video, Jeffrey Boyer (who went by his Islamic name, Abdul Raheem), then Creative Director of the Shahadah Foundation, told students at Northwest Vista College that “everybody is born Muslim.” He claimed that all prophets - including Jesus - were actually Muslim, and that Muslims today are closer to the “real” Jesus and Mary than Christians are. He said Mary is the highest woman in all of creation, that she wore a hijab, and that all women should emulate her by doing the same. He rejected the Christian belief that Jesus is God and called interest-based banking - including credit cards, mortgages, and student loans - part of a “criminal” system. Boyer also warned the students that after death, angels would question them in the grave about what religion they followed. 🚨Pro-Tip Texans....This is VERY significant because Islam teaches a completely different Jesus (known as Isa) than Christianity. In Islamic doctrine, Jesus was not the Son of God, was not crucified, and will return at the end of times to break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish Christianity. The Jesus of Islam is a Muslim prophet who will ultimately destroy the Christian faith - not the Jesus worshipped by Christians. This is the same foundation now running dawah out of a Sharia-based mosque that is currently expanding. They’ve already said the new facility will remain in the neighborhood “for generations to come.” The dawah operation is getting more space. The question is how long Texans will keep ignoring what’s being taught and promoted right in their own state. READ:

Doug Wilson, along with Bruce Ware, both hold the mistaken view that Christians should restrict prayer to the Father alone and never pray directly to Jesus. But this position runs into a serious problem, because Jesus Himself said otherwise. In John 14:13–14, Jesus told His disciples: 13 “Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 “If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. Notice that Jesus did not say, "Ask only the Father and I will only relay it." He said ask ME, and I WILL do it. Jesus both receives and answers prayer. That is not the role of a mere created being or a subordinate intermediary. That is the role of God. And did the early Christians pray to Jesus? Absolutely! Stephen, while being martyred, called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit” (Acts ), directly addressing Christ in his final moments. The apostle Paul prayed to Jesus pleading with Him about his “thorn in the flesh” (2 Corinthians 12:8–9) Paul pleaded with Jesus three times regarding his thorn in the flesh, and Jesus answered him personally (2 Corinthians 12:8–9) John and the early church lifted up the petition, “Come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation ), a prayer addressed directly to Christ. Those who say that you are not allowed to pray to Jesus are in the same camp as the Jehovah's Witnesses who also forbid prayers to Jesus. Doug Wilson and Bruce Ware are wrong. Jesus is fully God and as God He receives and answer prayers. Years ago I sat through a lecture by Bruce Ware in which he argued that the worship given to Jesus is in some way limited or restricted. It was deeply troubling to hear. I was sitting with an entire row of former Jehovah's Witnesses, and every one of them was equally disturbed. They recognized the argument. They had heard it before, just dressed in different theological clothing. The idea that Jesus, in His eternal state, is somehow deserving of a lesser degree of worship, or that we cannot address Him directly in prayer, is not a humble, cautious position. It is a deviation from both the testimony of the early Christians and the plain teaching of Scripture. The first believers called upon the name of Jesus, prayed to Him, worshipped Him without restraint, and were willing to die rather than deny His full deity. They did not worship a subordinate Christ. When a theological position on the person of Christ makes former Jehovah's Witnesses uncomfortable because it sounds too familiar, that is worth pausing over. It should cause us to ask hard questions about where that road leads and whose company we are keeping doctrinally. Jesus Christ is not a lesser object of worship. He is not off-limits in prayer. He is fully God, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father, and He is worthy of every prayer, every act of worship, and every confession of faith we can offer.

Speaker Mike Johnson just read Thomas Jefferson's prayer to Congress. It was written 250 years ago with the intent that we all should recite it daily. Jefferson's own theology was odd, but not as far away from a Biblical foundation as many Christians today. He knew to unite the country behind the great God who made us. Not Muhammad, not Krishna, not even Judaism, but Jefferson prayed in Jesus' name. It's not a trivial formality, it is the hinge of Western Civilization itself.

How many times do we have to show you Jews saying this? "Christianity was the perfect false religion to make the events promised in the Jewish scriptures unfold" "Imagine a world where Christianity never existed...if the whole world was filled with the Osiris religions, mystery religions of Egypt, Babylon, and Zoroastrianism or Persia, the Hinduism of the East, then people would go what the heck is a Messiah, they wouldn't get it" "So in the Hinduism there is no real concept of the Mashiach, Messiah son of David, doesn't exist. It's a henotheistic orientation" "It's not like an Abrahamic religion and it doesn't believe in the jewish scriptures" "So how will everybody instantly get it? That's whay the messianic age is all about" "The messianic age is all about the immediate recognition of the non-jews that the God of the jewish people is the only true God and there's no one else. If you don't understand that, you don't understand the Messianic age" "So Christianity rather than the other ancient religions is perfect for this why? Because the default baseline of Christianity is Judaism. All Christians believe that prior to the crucifixion the only true religion in the world was Judaism" "Prior to the crucifixion there were many religions in the world...why one of them was the true religion? Every Christian would have to say that Pharisaic judaism...was until that point the only true religion" "If you believe in Christianity, you believe that until the cross Judaism was true" "If Jesus is not the messiah...who then has the truth?...then Judaism is the only truth"

The child, the music , the softer speak of the pope doesn’t make what he said any less Antichrist. This was an opportunity to tell this young man that YES only God decides and LEAVE IT at that ALONG with the saving gospel for all to hear …but he went on to call an atheist a child of God. Refuted by 👇🏻 John 1:12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— He went on to call his father a good man who could enter that way Refuted by 👇🏻 Romans 3:12 there is no one who does good, not even one.” And the most antichrist of this whole thing is denying that he would be rejected for rejecting Christ and his good works would help him enter heaven. Refuted by 👇🏻 John 14:6 Jesus replied “I am the way the truth and the life , no man comes to the father but by me” Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. This man was not the head of the true church. The head of the church would never speak lies because the head of the church is Jesus Christ. Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. This is scripture so if you’re upset by it you’re upset with the very words of God.

In 2004 John MacArthur was on Larry King Live with Dennis Prager. The topic was: “Who Was Jesus.” And the subject comes up about “who killed Jesus.” John MacArthur addresses the fact that no true Christian is going to be an antisemite. Jmac says: “no true Christian transformed on the inside by faith in Jesus Christ is going to be an antisemite. What you have is people who called themselves Christians, but who have not been transformed by the power of Christ. They’re the ones that would be antisemitic. If you’re a Christian you’ll be converted from your racism.”
