Muslim extremists are on a definite warpath and I have no doubt they will not be stopped by the United States, the UN or anyone or anything.
Just a sad, sad state of affairs watching the evil of men be unfolded and played out before our eyes. People do so many stupid, evil things.
I appreciate that (and it means more than you know actually).
I also agree with you completely that many, many folks claiming to represent Christ have done some terrible, terrible things in his name.
The early church of Rome and the papacy itself became highly corrupt and both influenced and controlled by governing authorities in Rome. Over time conditions slowly spiraled out of control in some instances.
Hordes of degenerate folks were assembled to protect "the church" and in doing so committed all kinds of horrendous acts that they were never actually called to commit (but who's gonna stop a horde). Church leaders and their followers also became corrupt by power and influence. Many, many, many people that were directly associated with "the church" and those indirectly affiliated with (or hired by) "the church" did horrible things in the "name of God".
None of it represented Jesus Christ and none of it was guided by the Holy Spirit.....these were all definite choices of men and women that either lost their way or never had "a way" to begin with.
I excuse none of it and make no apologetic pleas to defend it.....it was flat out wrong and anti-Christ. What's worse is some of it still exists today. If I had my way I'd shut "churches" like Westboro Baptist Church down. Further the priesthood and papacy of the Catholic church should be required to have supervised visitations with children for a long time to come. I know that one bad apple doesn't spoil the bunch, but one bad apple out of that bunch can spoil a lot of children (the most precious in Christ's kingdom).
Again, there is nothing that can control the spread of Islam and the further persecution of any of religion, theology or non-Islamic way of thinking.
ALTHOUGH, I do not hate Muslims and find that most Muslims are not part of the extremist sect. They are typically loving folks. I pray that Jesus Christ can be correctly represented in their lives and that they can come to understand who he truly is.
