Welcome to my online diary, enjoy your stay!
Open Letters to the Leaders of Pakistan:
I saw the photos, all 161 of them,that the AP news has on the conflicts in Pakistan, that are shown on the Yahoo News today. I also read the comments there with the photos and I would like to ask for more information to be presented to the world. Here are the things that I noticed about the photos:
-the eight wooden coffins stretched out in a row and the mourners there.I grieve for you all.
-the rocket launchers of the "para-military"
-the red flowers on the table and the golden peacocks on the Conference Table before Pakistan Foreign Minister Quereshi, and India's Foreign Minister Mukherjee as they discussed nuclear disarmament on the Afghan_Pakistan border. I love red flowers and peacocks and both caught my eye.
- The women voting there. Where were the men voting?
-The men dressed in white and the women dressed head to toe except eyes, in black 'burqas' that must be swelteringly hot in that climate.
-the bunker built on top of a mosque. To me that signaled a sense of desperation.
-the bonfires burning drugs confiscated and the Police smashing imported liquor bottles.YEA for those--get rid of those demonic substances, so people could think!
-the handshake about the 7 billion USD gas pipeline to run from Iran to India and Pakistan. The way it was written I thought the 7 billionin USD meant that was the currency measured in, not the US is backing it, but it sounds like a win-win for all three of those nations to me.
-the five different fighting factions there: the 'Khyber tribal', the 'para-military',the Taliban, and the 'militants" and the "government forces'. I looked at and read the comments from the AP several times on some of the photos trying to understand better who is fighting whom and for what exactly?
-the words, 'lal masjid" and wondered how they would translate to English. I do not speak Arabic or Farsi, or read it, or write it. I know many cultures are multilingual but I am sad to say that I am not multilingual. When you speak to reporters if you know the English translation of that phrase would you tell them?
-that the comments said that the Taliban Commander had ceased peace talks because of "continued use of force against tribemen." and I was sad to read that.
-the torn pages of your Holy Book the Quran that was photographed by AP news.
-the man at the sign changing the prices for kerosene, diesel and gasoline, raising them as they are also raised in the US, but noting that your government subsidized kerosene for lamps for the poor and I think that is great.
-the photo that showed a US military man approaching a cave with the comments that the US 101st Airborne, and 506th Infantry, 2nd Battalion, 4th Platoon are there fighting in the war in Pakistan.
Now here are the questions I have and the conclusions I arrived at after studying those photos and words:
Pakistan is in a so-called civil war though there is nothing civilized about war. A better word would be domestic war, on your turf.
The enemies I see there are:
-socialism, because it tries to supplant GOD as GOD and tries to be all things to all people instead of doing a few things very well.
-drugs seem to be a scourge and a source of addiction, pain and misery for many there.
-illegal exportation of drugs has caused your nation to come under attack from the nations that do not want their countries importing that illegal product! [and rightfully so, in my opinion].
-your nation is a "house divided" as JESUS said in Matthew 12:25-26( see below) and the many factions are trying to gain dominance and control. It seems it is the same battle in many nations around the world.
The good people there seem to be :
-those fighting evil to stop the killing of innocents.
-those who are trying to shore up your nation.
-those who honor GOD.
-those who speak clearly without tricks or treachery or deceit to the people.
-the ones smashing the liquor and burning the drug piles.
--the Group of Eight that pledged billions to help disarm the borders as I understood that.
Here are my questions:
1) what does the phrase "lal masjid" mean?
2) What precisely are you fighting for? Liberty, control, right to vote, different government? what?
3) Who are the good guys?
4) Who is the enemy ? I think the enemy is the enemy of GOD that is the devil, who tries to divide and conquer any nation that respects the Name of GOD.
5) For what reason was the former Prime Minister Sharif barred from running from re-election?
6) Why do you, if you do, view the US Military as being your enemy when the photo shows that particular US military man as risking his life to "clear a cave' of weaponry and attackers on citizens? I realize photos are not always what they seem at times, and that they could be planned or staged but not always. The AP news is supposed to be reputable. In that case, why do you think the US is bad if we, as a nation, are spending billions to help your nation secure liberty and safety?
I am going to sum this up with the words of JESUS I mentioned above.It is written, "And JESUS knew their thoughts and said unto them, 'every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand. And if satan cast out satan, he is divided against himself, how shall then his kingdom stand? " Matthew 12: 25-26. In other words, satan does not divide himself but attempts to divide those who believe there is A GOD and only one GOD, and he does that with an assortment of "weapons' and most of them are spiritual, and attacks on the mind, because if he captures that part of your nation the real hand to hand combat will follow and the death and destruction with grenades, rockets, mortar, bombs, etc. The devil is the real enemy. Teach the truth of GOD who wrote in stone the words, 'thou shalt not kill " along with HIS other Commandments. You could read them on this website of mine if you don't know them:

I am not your enemy, or any body'e enemy but the enemy of the devil. It is my goal in life to defeat the devil in every way in every nation at every encounter with him. I believe the word of GOD defeats the devil because JESUS who is THE MESSIAH as foretold in the Scriptures says HE OVERCOMES the devil .Revelations 12:11 is written,"they overcame him [the great dragon,the devil, satan] by the blood of THE LAMB and by the word of their testimony;". All Scripture from King James Holy Bible.

Open Letter to those in Baghdad, Iraq who captured by force five British subjects at the Foreign Ministry in Baghdad last November:
Sirs, I am sure that you are men and that you are men who respect and fear THE NAME of THE ONE TRUE and ONLY GOD. I am writing to you today after learning of this situation from a BBC televised appeal of Lord Carey who was the previous Archbishop of Canterbury, the Church of England.
Sirs, you do yourselves and the name of Islam or Arabic people, NO service when you kidnap those who were there in your country trying to help you. Sirs, I have also endured much suffering in my life in the past couple of years and that kind of suffering brings with it a compassion and a heart for people that becomes a testimony of the Power of GOD to turn evil to good. I am sympathetic to the cause of the people in any nation where liberty is absent or there are unjust rulers. I am also sympathetic to the cause of the Palestinian AND the Jewish people in the fight that is ongoing, that began about 6000 years ago and will continue to the battle of Armageddon as foretold by The BOOK--THE HOLY BIBLE in Revelation. I think both the Israeli people and the Palestinian people should have a homeland and I also think that they should get along IF they serve THE ONLY ONE LIVING GOD as they say they do. However, there are rules of civility and rules of war*. From studying The King James Holy Bible I have found no occasion when GOD told HIS warriors to kidnap innocent people to make them as pawns in a battle. If you publicly portray your faith as one that recognizes no authority but your own, and no rules but your own, you create a pathway for yourself to destruction. **
It is important that you know that true Christians and I define that as those who believe in The MESSIAH whom Christians know as JESUS, that those who speak other languages may know by some other NAME, are not violent and do not destroy innocent human life, because one of the Commandments of GOD as GOD wrote it in stone, is "thou shalt not kill".
* And I am making an effort to put the words about war from the Holy Bible, on the web for all to study and you may read those at: http://the-good-fight-of-faith.info.
And the promises of GOD to HIS people [ and certainly that includes the human races: Jews and Arabs that were descendants of Abraham the patriarch] on the web at http://promises-of-GOD.info.
**I ask you to read the Holy Scriptures at these websites of mine for more about GOD's plan for humans:

In the BBC news today, there is an article about a Taleban Commander ordering all of his followers to stop all attacks in Pakistan, and distributing that order in tribal areas, and warning that those who violate it would be punished. I think that is GOOD news! I want to publicly thank him for that. His name is Baitullah Mehsud.
More details are given in the article linked here to the BBC.
Sir, and all Muslim and Arabic people around the world, true born again Christians are not your enemy. We worship and serve THE GOD because JESUS said, "I and my FATHER are ONE." John 10:30, and we believe in and adhere to the Commandments of GOD and you may read them on this website http://lifemedia-publishing.org/ or http://commandments-of-GOD.info.
Here are some of the most wonderful words that I have heard of that any Monarch said, as reported by a news article in today's Yahoo News on line, about King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. I quote from that article:
"The idea is to ask representatives of all monotheistic religions to sit together with their brothers in faith and sincerity to all religions as we all believe in the same God," the king told delegates to a seminar titled "Culture and the Respect of Religions."
His remarks were reported by the official Saudi Press Agency.
"I have noticed that the family system has weakened and that atheism has increased. That is an unacceptable behavior to all religions, to the Quran, the Torah and the Bible," Abdullah said. "We ask God to save humanity. There is a lack of ethics, loyalty and sincerity for our religions and humanity." [end quote]
Well, you know, that this thrills me because it is the message I have also promoted for decades--that we who believe in the ONE and Living GOD must agree to agree in order to come against the evil of the devil as a collective unit so to speak. And what The King says about the lack of ethics and sincerity for religions based upon the worship of the ONE LIVING GOD over all, and the lack of respect for human life is one of the most pressing issues of all societies of all nations. It is as the Bible in Revelation tells us and also in the Holy Books of the Torah and the Qu'ran that there will be a Judgement Day during which GOD HIMSELF will judge the living and the dead, and the wicked will be cast into utter darkness called 'the pit" or sheol, or 'hades' or h---. The real questions for anyone to answer in this life are will you go to heaven or to h---? Will you be in GOD's camp or the devil's? Will you work to promote life or destroy it? Will you obey the Commandments of GOD not to kill or profane GOD's Holy Name [and the other Commandments of GOD] , or listen to the devil?
I want to publicly thank the King of Saudi Arabia for his request for cooperation among the monotheistic religions to save the human race from destruction and to glorify THE ONE GOD. This message is not incompatible with Christianity because JESUS said, " I and my FATHER are ONE." [John 10:30]. You know that I am in favour of the religions that believe in GOD to join ranks and to glorify GOD and to end the killing! Count me in, King Abdullah, in your debates if it pleases you and those who are recognized as leaders in the Christian, Jewish and Muslim faiths.
