This is the most exciting news I have heard in a long, long time. There is in debate a method being discussed to bring freedom of the Press to Afghanistan. I think that is wonderful. In fact, I think it is brilliant! It will do all these things:

give the people there a way of fighting back without weapons--words and photos instead;

give them a sense of liberty that they have never had before;

enable to issues that concern the citizens to rise to the top and be heard and discussed;

unlock their society.

Pray it happens.

Freedom of the press coming to Afghanistan thanks to the UK--if so, GOD bless the UK !

I can't argue with this statement [because I believe the name Al-lah
is the Arabic word for GOD] that is a quote in an Yahoo News article today :
"A crisis whose primary cause, in addition to the abortive and
 unsustainable crusades they are waging in Afghanistan, Pakistan,
and Iraq, is their turning their backs on Allah's revealed laws, which forbid interest-bearing
 transactions, exploitation, greed and injustice in all its forms."
From an article in the Yahoo news today, entitled, "Al-Qaida [says] US economic crisis
equals Muslim Victory" by Hadeel Al-Shalchi, of the AP.

I am a prolife activist, meaning I publish the Scriptures about that, create websites on that topic, and
paint paintings to show how babies are born [see http://choose-life.name for
my painting,'birthing a baby' that is simplistic view of that event, not to worry--it is  
decent without mother's body showing.]
After researching quite a bit when the war in Afghanistan began I realized that one of the sticking-in-my-craw-ideologies
that were being forced on the Afghan nation was the ungodly and unnatural event of abortion that is premeditated
killing of innocent humans in the womb. The wicked Marie Stopes agency headquartered in the UK is an abortion provider
and they widely published that they had gained a toehold there in Afghanistan because of the turmoil of war and the
infiltration by ngos of evil intent. I think the use of the word 'abortive' is exactly what was meant, in their quote, that Muslim
teachings supposedly based upon the same teachings Abraham learned, learned the Commandments of GOD in some
form and do not have a permissive attitude toward abortion. I know that there are many wide open liberals that have the
philosophy that any thing goes or that 'whatever FEELS good, do it" but that is not the teachings of GOD, who taught
obedience to the Commandments whether it  feels good or not, and taught a duty to obey GOD whether or not, you think
it is a good idea. However, the opinions of heathens=liberals do not influence me, but I acknowledge that they 'feel'
differently about GOD, as I am sure that GOD HIMSELF knows that too, and that there will be a Judgement Day for all.

 I know that the Commandments of GOD, include the words, 'thou shalt not kill' [Exodus 20:13] and that is the reason abortion is a sin against GOD and must be illegal in all nations. I also know the Muslims are right to oppose that evil.

I also know that the Holy Bible teaches against greed, against usury, against loaning money to those in need, instead
saying to give it, to not charge usury, to not expect the poor, the laimed, the maimed, the sick to repay you but to look
to GOD for HIS reward for doing good. It is written, "but when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame,
the blind; and thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee; for thou shalt be recompensed at the The
Resurrection [Judgement Day] of the just. " [Luke 14:13-14] And about usury, it is prohibited in several scriptures but
I quote this one at Exodus 22:25, 'if thou lend money to any of MY people, that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him
as an usurer; neither shalt thou lay upon him usury." [footnote says interest on the money].
And about greed, the warning, "if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. If they say, 'come with us, let us lay wait for blood,
let us lurk privily [secretly in the footnote], for the innocent without cause; let us swallow them up alive as the grave;
and whole, as those that go down into the pit; we shall find all precious substances, we shall fill our houses with spoil,
cast in thy lot among us, let us all have one purse; ..walk NOT thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their
path; for their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood; surely in vain the net is spread for the sight of any bird.
And they lay in wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. So are the ways of the every one that is
greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof. " [Proverbs 1: 10-19] The way I read that passage of
Scriptures is that those who are so greedy that they would kill, end up destroying their own lives. Think of those who
break and enter to steal and are shot and killed by the SWAT team, or the local Police, or the homeowner who does not
know their motives as they are breaking in, but wants to protect the lives of his family.

I am realizing more and more that there are many points of agreement between the monotheistic religions and we, who
adhere to that "ONE GOD over all' must learn to fight the enemies of GOD and not each other.
[see John 10:30: JESUS, The Messiah said, "I and my FATHER are ONE'.]. I am doing all I could afford to do, and
have the ability to do, to promote the truth that there is ONE GOD. See the newest website of mine at:

From the international news from Yangon Myanmar comes this news that Win Tin, a man who was first a journalist, then a political activist seeking liberty for Myanmar, then a political prisoner of 19 years was freed today. This quote from the earthlink news today at the link below.

"We are immensely relieved that he has finally been freed,
" Reporters Without Borders said in a statement. "It is unacceptable
that he was made to serve 19 years in prison for peacefully
 advocating democracy
 but today his release is an historic moment." Quote from article:

I am always glad when I read that journalists were freed from bondage, because all nations have to have unregulated Presses for the nation to have any hope of liberty. I am often documenting persecutions that I have endured for trying to change the status quo of killing-of-human-beings-in-the-womb that is the so-called establishment policy of the so-called first world nations. I have endured much suffering in the past 17 years since that wicked and ungodly Bill Clinton was President and violated the Nuremberg Code of International Law about human research, by lifting the ban on fetal research that had the effect of  forcing hospitals to fire  prolife nurses. I also endured much suffering, persecution and injury  from a demonic man who tried to kill me for being prolife and publishing the Scriptures. Reporters without Borders knows much of the issue from being subjected to harassment,persecution, arrest for reporting the news in many countries. Being a journalist whether professional or citizen, is a dangerous endeavour anywhere. This is my effort to make a difference for journalists around the world.

I am determined to win the battle to end the premeditated killing of innocent humans everywhere. When you think that Reporters or those activists including prolife activists are 'bad' remember JESUS was crucified for bucking the status quo of organized religion of HIS time. There is often a risk to defying corrupt governments and JESUS paid the full price of that. My activism is based upon religious beliefs that it is always wrong to kill innocent humans as written by GOD in the Commandment, 'thou shalt not kill'. Exodus 20:13.

From the International News from Yangon, Myanmar, via earthlink comes this good news today, that political prisoner who was once a journalist then became an activist for liberty there, then was arrested and spent 19 years in prison, Win Tin was freed today. His only crime according to Reporters without Borders was wanting liberty for  Myanmar. This quote from that article:

"We are immensely relieved that he has finally been freed,
" Reporters Without Borders said in a statement. "It is unacceptable

I am always glad when Reporters are freed. It is a dangerous profession for certain and Reporters Without Borders knows that and so does any one in any country that tries to be a citizen activist for anything! Bucking the status quo has risks. If you don't think so, then read about JESUS, THE GODHEAD in the flesh who was crucified for bucking the organized religions of HIS time.  I have often published my documentation of ways I was persecuted for bucking the establishment of killing-on-demand-of-innocents-in-the-womb and I learned much compassion for anyone who tries to make force the discussion of any so-called political issue. However my efforts to end abortion are based upon my religious beliefs that GOD is Sovereign and HE wrote in stone the words, 'thou shalt not kill' . [Exodus 20:13]

Here is the BBC link to the article today  that inspired this entry:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7618092.stm

I love the BBC and they know it! That article is about citizen journalists capturing events on their cell phones to show the world what is happening there. It seems to me that the nations that hope to have liberty have to engage the citizens and they have to listen to them and they have to endure the turmoil of a situation that is roughly akin to a simmering pot on the gas heat stove, that is hot to touch emits a gas smell, [stinks] and that boils over at times but it accomplishing something. And they have to look at the photos from the citizens to see what is the truth and not only the government canned version of what they want you to know.

I am absolutely an advocate of a free and unregulated Press in every nation, where the citizens have the 'right' to publish their thoughts, their words, their reactions to government decisions, their protests to government and yes, the times the government went astray and betrayed the people. I also protest when I know that a government arrested a bona-fide reporter or even a citizen reporter in the form of a blogger and cry 'Foul" loud and clear. It is not the duty of any good government to harass and persecute the citizens or try to silence them. The nations of the world are waking up to this reality, and that wonderfully written article by the BBC is proof of it. Read it.

Here is a link to an article in the earthlink news today, about much money is spent by US colleges trying to bring freshmen accepted via some program up to college level work:

http://my.earthlink.net/article/nat?guid=20080915/48cdddc0_3421_1334520080915-872349171

The general public is unaware of what is really taught in US schools on a national scale; and why the 6-8 hours per day spent in mandatory education is worthless from the point of righteousness or good of the nation.

Here is a sample curriculum though it is hidden/embedded in social classes:

sodomy 101

abortion 101

criminal activity and the accompanying rights of that 'lifestyle' 101

how to defy GOD 101

how to disobey and provoke and ignore your parents 101

how the 'democrats' are "superior" because they are atheists, and want evil to be the law of the land  101

socialism, 101

the made-up, that is phony version by atheists of the US Constitution 101

social issues like the so-called right to kill 101

how to play games on college provided computers 101

how to get on the government dole for the rest of your lifem 101

how to use the computer to get good grades while never learning anything, 101

how to buy grades 101

how to drink alcohol, smoke pot, do hard drugs, and escape prosecution 101

how to se-x-ually molest women at frat parties with the approval of the Chancellor ,101

how to play a game the rest of your life, like football and think yourself superior to those people who have to think for a living, 101

how to kill in a game so they will not think about it when called on to do that by the local abortuary,101

Parents! This is intended to be a wake-up call to you. If you think your children are learning sciences, maths, righteous behaviours, truth, history of the US,civil responsibility, in the US public schools you are deceiving yourselves. They will not learn those  unless you teach it to them. What they will learn is from the so-called courses I have listed above. The indoctrination of those goals is there, what is not so easy to discern is which co-called course they are hidden in. The social goals of advancing socialism are interwoven into almost every class your kids take from K-12 and then again in College.

Do not be deceived. Every wicked society tries to capture the minds of the young and indoctrinate them into evil, brainwash them in other words. The schools call it 'facilitating change'. They take a child who believes in GOD and then they single him out for persecution, belittlement, questioning about his family life and his beliefs, and then devising a program to 'change'  GOD-fearing beliefs to atheism. The Dept of Education says as much in their program. Attend the school meetings of your children's school district and get a copy of their program and their goals. In Gwinnett County,GA in the years when my youngest daughter was in school there, in their program of goals there was not one word about what they teach or even whether they teach, but how they facilitate 'change' and 'create the society we want', and 'refer for resources', that kind of hogwash. That is not the duty of teachers, nor public schools.

It is written, "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose Life, that both thou and thy seed may live. That thou mayest love THE LORD thy GOD and that thou mayest obey HIS voice and that thou mayest cleave unto HIM, for HE is thy life and the length of thy days; that thou mayest dwell in the land which THE LORD sware unto thy fathers, unto Abraham, to Isaac, to Jacob to give them."  [Deuteronomy 30:19-20 King James Holy Bible].

Also, in a more precise, exact, right to the heart of the issue,"thou shalt not kill" from the words GOD HIMSELF wrote in stone on a tablet for Moses to give the people as the words to live by. If you do not know the Commandments of GOD, you may read them here. If link not working for some reason then type in the url address of http://commandments-of-GOD.info into your address bar.

Also remember that as GOD spoke it, is the way HE will judge you on HIS Day of Judgement at the end of time. HE is not going to be concerned with what the Public Relations person says on that day, or the push-poll from the mainsteam media, or the Campaign Manager. HE is going to ask you direct questions, 'did you kill any one while on the earth?" The answer will have to be a yes or no. Do you think you could hoodwink GOD with tricky, deceptive words? Do you think HE won't know if you did or not? HE KNOWS what every person on this planet does and HE knows your very thoughts; and HE judges you for even what you say, according to The Bible.  For more of the Scriptures that reveal the character of GOD, visit another site of mine that has many Scriptures at http://promises-of-GOD.info and read them all. I am sure that you will learn much about GOD and HIS plan for the human race, if you read every Scripture on that website.

It is a reasonable question to ask why I care if you go to hell? [Those who reject GOD are sent to hell, according to the book of Revelation.] The  answer would be from the words of JESUS who said, 'all power is given to ME in heaven and in earth; go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in THE NAME of THE FATHER [GOD in heaven], and THE SON [GODHEAD in flesh=JESUS,MESSIAH] and THE HOLY GHOST [breath,force, power of GOD HIMSELF], teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, and Lo, I AM with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." [Matthew 28:18-20] For me to be obedient to GOD then I must 'teach all nations' and the words I write on the internet are intended to reach all, teach all nations.

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:

http://Commandments-of-GOD.info.

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.

"You have gathered today to tell the whole world that... we are a voice of justice and
values and humanity, that we are a
voice of coexistence and a just and rational dialogue," King Abdullah told the delegates.
Quote in the BBC news  yesterday : 6:02 PM 6/4/2008

I am posting this quote here because I think it is history-making and apparently so does the BBC. I am very pleased that King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia is taking postive steps via words spoken as a Sovereign of a very powerful Kingdom [it would be called a commonwealth in other nations], to bring about peace in the world.  That is also one of my missions but also  recognizing the words of The Holy Bible in Ecclesiastes chapter three, verses 1,3, 7,8, as written, "To every purpose there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven; . . . a time to kill [the wicked who kill innocents, as in capital punishment by governments and not individuals killing innocents, I think this means] and a time to heal; a time to break down and a time to build up; . . . a time to rend and a time to sew; a time to keep silence and a time to speak;  a time to love and a time to hate; a time of war and a time of peace." These words from Ecclesiastes are "the words of the Preacher, the son of David, King in Jerusalem" according to chapter one, verse one and that is widely believed to be Solomon.  I post these words here because they sum up the human existence sort of. Humans on this earth experience the gamut of experiences and emotions and reading the news exposes us to even more of the horrible events that humans perpetrate on humans. I am not advocating war by any means and I ask you to also read one of my newest websites about war because that topic is constantly in the news, at :
http://the-good-fight-of-faith.info about what is written in The King James Holy Bible about war and what GOD says about it, and caused to be written for the teaching of the human race. Another of my recent websites is http://blessed-are-peacemakers.info and you should read both websites entirely because they present the words from the Bible about the time of war and the time of peace. Hopefully, GOD willing they clarify those topics of a time of war and a time of peace.

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.

This Open Letter is intended to reach the eyes of the Arabic world especially the Iraq nation and people and the Shia Leader who is a Cleric named M. Sadr:

Sir, I read in the BBC news today an article* in which you were quoted as saying the US would always be the enemy of Iraq and I want to ask you if you think THE GOD of the universe, who is THE MAKER of all, THE CREATOR of heaven and earth, the POWER that hung the sun and moon and sustains them,would be pleased with that statement?  I think HE would not be pleased and these are my reasons:
1) I am an American and I am not the enemy of any person except those who hate GOD and even in making that statement, I would not set out to kill those but to pray for them and try to persuade them to turn from that evil for their own sakes in order that they might be acceptable to GOD on HIS final Judgement Day when souls are sent either to heaven or to hell.
2) The citizens of the United States have sent sons, brothers, husbands, uncles, and yes some women also to defend your nation, trying to staunch the flow of Iraqi blood whether Shia or Sunni, and to try to keep the peace there. Clearly as long as the Iraq people see the US as enemies or invaders and retaliate the bloodshed continues. Is that what the American people themselves want? I don't think so. There may be some so-called 'radicals' who want to kill every Muslim on the planet but most of the US is Christian and were taught somewhere along the way, the Commandments of GOD. Do they all live by them? No,you know the answer.Do all of your followers in your particular congregation at your Mosque always obey all the Commandments of GOD? because the Commandments of GOD are for all people everywhere.
3) JESUS said, " I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you, that ye may be the children of your FATHER which is in heaven; for HE maketh HIS sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not even the Publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the Publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect eve as your FATHER [GOD]  which is in heaven is perfect." Matthew 5: 44-48.
4) Sir, you are admirable in the sense that you were able to effect a cease-fire of sorts by calling your men off the streets with their weapons. I believe that GOD knows your heart is good and that HE is able to teach you wisdom. I personally thank you for that bold act of leadership. I pray GOD honors it in a way that absolutely astounds you and your brethren/followers by bringing peace to your nation.
5) Sir, I am no military strategist as you are, but have you considered a plan to ensure the peace and safety of all of Iraq when you call for the withdrawal of well-armed troops from the US and the UK and the other nations involved there? Have you a plan, Sir, to protect your own people? Have you a strategy to ensure that the bombings end and that people in your nation, whether your native own or foreigners visiting and spending money in your economy are safe when they walk about, or shop, or attend Mosque or Church? Perhaps if you had such a plan for a well organized militia which it seems you have already, to defend the homeland without bombing those who think they are protecting your homeland, then you could negotiate the withdrawal of troops by assuming the duties they have provided for your nation. Are you willing to do that? Is your President willing to do that? Because making the US your scapegoat does not please GOD, or at least I don't think so. I have many, many issues with the US myself about the unwillingness of the Congress to do the right thing to protect the innocents in the womb and I protest them relentlessly. I have to believe that THE GOD hears my prayers because I seek to please HIM more than any human.My prayers are that the bloodshed whether in abortuaries or on the streets of Iraq, or Afghanistan, or Israel, or Palestine, or France, or Columbia or anywhere on this planet, will end.
6) Sir, you are known to be a "cleric" which is defined as a 'man of GOD' . If that is in your heart truly, will you join me in those prayers and will you ask your Mosque and all of Iraq to pray for peace and to pray that GOD will intervene for what is BEST for Iraq and what will bring your nation peace and prosperity and trust that GOD will hear and answer you?
7) Sir, I am a born again Christian. That is explained on a new website I am working on entitled "are you born again" at http://are-u-born-again.info.
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.
