This Brave Woman proclaimed Jesus Christ to be the God of her land ...
I join in her declaration in behalf of the USA. The nation of the United States was founded, established and organized directly so the people could be free to live their religion, most specifically their religion of Biblical origins, whether of Israel as of Judah or of Christ. Most settlers of this nation were of Biblical Christian persuasion. With all their human prejudices they still promoted some element of the Golden Rule and the Ten Commandments and the two Great Commandments, namely, Love God with all your heart, might, mind and soul and Love your Neighbor as you love yourself. These thirteen great Laws pervaded the thirteen colonies and have been the best guiding lights of these fifty states and within all "Western" societies. These thirteen Laws of God have grown this world to be at it's best.
As 'peaceful' as "Allah Akbar" has been around the world, it normally and most usually seen just after some event of great destruction and terror. With all the daily prayers that Allah demands of the people, it is the continued and repeated actions of killing, rape and pillage for which Islamic people are least highly revered, no matter however many peaceful Muslim people there are around the world.
Certainly there are 1.2 billion Muslim people around the world and many of them are of the highest caliber. I have known several. However, I am still at a loss to be able to identify any great achievement any Muslim has been known for other than being a good parent or friend, which are, of course, excellent achievements. But I know of no George Washingtons, Benjamin Franklins, Margaret Thatchers, Madam Curies or Harriet Tubmans. I've read of several great Muslim conquerors, mass murderers, pirates and the like, as I have read of some so-called "Christian" Hitlers who were actually apostates from Christianity who actually never gave Christianity a real attempt unlike the Muslim murderers who did all they did in the name of Allah.
While God did allow his son to be killed, he did that in order to save mankind from their sins, not set the example for all men to follow. No matter how benign the Koran may begin, it ends with very direct and very dangerous and lethal instructions for believers to follow in order to be considered true believers and righteous. In contrast, the God of the Old Testament seems quite a bit more harsh than the much more mellow and forgiving New Testament Savior, Jesus Christ, the Son of the Highest. It is not that the Old Testament God mellowed with age but more like He was teaching His children how to protect themselves from the wicked idolitry that surrounded them while later on He was teaching them how to protect themselves as they struggled to change the world around them which has proven quite successful in the last 2100 years.
For this cause I join my German sister in proclaiming that Jesus Christ is the God of Germany and of the United States and, indeed, of the whole world. His Word will continue to change the hearts of all those who will open themselves to Him, causing them to rejoice and cause all those whose lives they touch to also rejoice.
I invite all to feast upon the Words of Christ that are found in the Holy Bible and also the Book of Mormon, the Second Testament of Jesus Christ which was brought forth to secure the testimony of the Apostles found in the New Testament. The sacred and Holy Spirit that is found by reading the doctrine and discourses found in these two volumes will bring enlightenment, peace, deep joy and rejoicing found in no other place. Like Luther, the Reformer, who declared he stood on his testimony of the Holy Scriptures, I, too, stand on my testimony of the truthfulness of these two Holy Books of the Word who is Jesus Christ, the very Word of God.
By HIs Word all things were and are created including the good men and women who create strong, peaceful families, communities and nations around the world.
I invite you to study these two books - the Holy Bible/the New Testament, and the Book of Mormon, the Second Testament of Jesus Christ. I invite you to "come unto" HIm, that you might be healed and made whole. There is no man or woman who has not experienced the deep wounds of this life, whether from the treachery of others or from our own selfishness (Self-Ish-Ness = SIN) and the consequences therefrom. We all suffer the pains of life, pains that He can and will heal for all who in truth come to Him and ask in sincerity seeking to change and return to God. "Ask and ye shall receive, knock and it shall be opened, seek and ye shall find."
The result is peace, joy and rejoicing now and forever. "Come unto me, all ye who labor and are heavy laden and I shall give you rest." This is His promise from before the foundations of this world. I have found He is true to His Word.
Holiness to the Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, the God in Whom we Trust, in whom I do and will trust forever.
