Ronald,
1. You should really like devout Muslims. The devout Muslim women all wear head coverings and the men would never consider ordaining a Muslim woman. I guess in your convoluted system devout Muslims are better at following the ordinances than many Christians.
Don't you ever become embarrassed when you go back and read what you write? If you didn't suffer from such blindness to the history of the Christian era induced by your unique heresy, you might know that the reason the false prophet Muhammad's followers wear head coverings (including the Imams), is the same reason that they prostrate themselves toward the Quraish pagan's black stone idol in Mecca five times a day, while praying in "vain repetitions of the heathen" in the names of the Arabian pagan's deity "Allah" and his "messenger" Muhammad. Which is the same reason they travel to the kaaba and march around it as the Arabian moon, sun star and jinn-devil worshipers did before Muhammad, and kiss the black stone idol as Muhammad did. The same reason that they are engaged in the conquest of the world and subjugation of non-Muslims to Muhammad's followers, toward the ultimate goal of subjugating all non-Muslims to denying the Son of God and rejecting His shed blood. That reason being because they follow THE false prophet Muhammad alone, and he either did it himself or commanded his followers to do it.
Christian women obedient to Christ cover their heads, as they did throughout the first 1900 years of the Christian era, because it is a church ordinance and demonstrates to the angels that they are in submission to the Word rather than in open rebellion to it.
2. I really wonder how you.....
Again, church ordinances are not about me or anything I do. You keep trying to make me and now my wife, the excuse for your own disobedience.
.....can even have a strong marriage if your wife does not wear a head covering. I can only imagine that there is a lot of strife in your house, considering that your wife is in open rebellion to your headship. One of the marks of a man of God is if he leads his family well. Everyone who observes my wife sees that she is submitted to her husband.
Perhaps like the wives of Muhammad's followers.
Sura 2:223 your wives are as tilth (farmland) unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will.
Your claim also suggests that you are equally in rebellion and guilty of disobeying church ordinances by your wife not wearing a head covering, since as you say she is "submitted" to you. Your disobedience is about you. And even worse you claim you are a church leader, when your actions demonstrate otherwise:
1Pe 5:3 Neither as being lords over [God's] heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
3. If you read my book, I also show that Jesus was born between 6 and 4 BC.
Where is the archaeological evidence of a Roman census between 6 and 4 BC?
However, I claim like the Bible that Jesus started his ministry at 30 years of age and it lasted 3.5 years just as the gospels record.
You also claim he was cut off after 69 1/2 weeks instead of 69 weeks as stricture states.
Therefore Jesus was 33.5 years old when he ascended into heaven. Thus Ellis Skofield is delusional if he claims Jesus was 40 years old when he ascended into heaven.
You are apparently in abject ignorance to the broad range of scholarly opinion regarding how old Jesus was when He was crucified, as you are Islam, this opinion particularly stemming from the archaeological evidence of the timing of Roman census. Yet you, a wet-behind-the-ears Christian steeped in an institution that encourages all members to jabber on in glossolalia who couldn't even get the four approaches to eschatology straight in your book, denigrate and hurl epithets at an 86 year old elder that was raised in the scriptures on his mother's knee on the Gospel Ship as missionaries in the Philippines - for taking a UNIFORM approach to ALL Bible prophecy in the TRADITIONS of historicism and amillennialism of the first 1800 years of the church, including those great men of God of the Reformation - for expressing a well supported opinion regarding Jesus' age.
And why? Because it doesn't fit your unique one-off personal spin on Daniel's 70th week that includes a 37 year gap that you ginned up in the middle of the week! And preterists are usually the ones that point the finger at futurists and denigrate them for creating a gap!
John 8:57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Peculiar thing to say to a 33 year old isn't it?
Thus Ellis Skofield blatantly contradicts 2000 years of Bible understanding and the Bible itself.
That's a patently false accusation that is a consequence your mind being bent by your personal heresy. Contradicts your unique heresy as Christians have for 2,000 years? Yes.
Yet there you are, standing naked and alone, either having to reject that Jesus ascended and was received by literal clouds, or reject that He will come in the manner in which He left.
And while scripture tells us the Messiah will be cut off after 69 weeks, you claim 69 and 1/2.
Consequently, if he can't get the timeline of Christ correct, it is doubtful that he is correct about the Muslim as antichrist hypothesis.
Hypothesis? It seems unimaginable that a person whose inflated ego causes him to exude such an air of self-importance, and misplaced perception of authority, could at the same time remain so stunningly ignorant to something so basic as understanding that Muslims are antichrist. But perhaps not surprising with the AoG jabbering on in glossolalia, since if it's not the Holy Spirit that causes those utterances, then what spirit does scripture tell us it is?
You seem as ignorant as most Muslims to the fact that Islam is antichrist. OK, now try to follow this, it isn't rocket science:
Sura 19:88 They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!" 89 Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!
Indeed their being antichrist is why they are commanded to fight, and subjugate Christians and other non-Muslims to denying the Son of God along with them:
Surah 9.29 Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. 30 The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!
The most heinous and only unforgivable sin in Islam is committed if a Muslim were to confess that Jesus is the Son of God, or even to pray in Jesus' name.
http://www.petewaldo.com/unforgivable_shirk.htmOK, now try to understand this verse in comparison to those verses from the Quran:
1 John 2:22..... He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father:
4. Your paranoia about Muslims is almost comical.
While your doctrine induced blindness to the 1/4 of mankind that follows one of the most consummate terrorists in history, is what has you standing with anti-Zionists like Arnold Murray and his Serpent Seed cult, David Duke and the KKK, Jeremiah Wright, and Ted Pike, who are joined by Muslims, Louis Farrakan and the Nation of Islam, and secular groups like communist Soviets, the United Nations, George Soros and his Center for American Progress, white supremacists, Nazis, skinheads, and anti-Semites of all stripes. Those are your peeps that fruit your anti-Zionist tree.
Your heresy puts you on the side of those who advance the Islamic conquest of the only country left in John's "whole world" that is not already ruled by followers of the false prophet Muhammad.
There is certainly nothing "comical" about that to me.
Some Christians think there is a demon under every bush, while you think there is a Muslim conspiracy afloat under every "bush".
Conspiracy? Islamic terrorism and conquest is a matter of fact of the 1400 year history of Islam that results from what the false prophet Muhammad commands of his true followers.
Bukhari, V1 B2 #24 Narrated Ibn 'Umar: Allah's Apostle said: "
I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform a that, then they save their lives an property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah."
Pure blasphemy for a Christian to testify to that.
"Summarized Sahih Al-Bukhari" - Maktba Dar-us-Salam's page 580
Chapter 2. The best among the people is that believer who strives his utmost in Allah's Cause with both his life and property.
footnotes:
[1] "
Al-Jihad (the holy fighting) in Allah's Cause (with full force of number and weaponry) is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars (on which it stands). By Jihad Islam is established, Allah's Word is made superior, [His Word being La ilaha ill-Allah (which means: none has the right to be worshipped but Allah] and His Religion (Islam) is propagated. By abandoning Jihad (may Allah protect us from that) Islam is destroyed and the Muslims fall into an inferior position; there honour is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish.
Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim, and he who tries to escape from this duty, or does not in his innermost heart wish to fulfill this duty, dies with one of the qualities of a hypocrite.[2] Of course, nobody can offer Salat (prayer) and observe Saum (fast) incessantly, and since the Muslim fighter is rewarded as if he was doing such good impossible deeds, no possible deed equals Jihad in reward.
http://www.petewaldo.com/jihad_conquest_terrorism.htmhttp://web.youngmuslims.ca/online_library/books/jihad/#all_muslimsI would encourage you to wear a tin-foil helmet to avoid the Muslims from brainwashing with their secret Muslim radio transmitters mounted all throughout the United States.
It is more than obvious who has brainwashed himself into abject ignorance through Islamic taqiyyah and dissimulation. Why would they need "secret Muslim radio transmitters" when Saudi Arabia spends about 20 billion a year setting up Islamic centers and mosques in the U.S. alone, particularly near college campuses where they brainwash students with Islamic taiyyah, to foment hatred against Israeli Jews, to join them with the rest of your anti-Zionist peeps. Why don't you wake up and join the informed and Google something like - jihad on campus -
http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=Av4DRoKq604xlGQ.XRvGMBSbvZx4?p=jihad+on+campus&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8&fr=yfp-t-9005. As I have stated before, uneducated, unschooled, paranoid Christians are a greater hindrance to the body of Christ than Muslim.
And you would be just as wrong as you were before. Talk about twisted!
While I would agree that heretics like you, and Charles Taze Russell and Joseph Smith that peddle heresies that stand outside of nearly 2,000 years of UNIVERSAL Christian CORE doctrine have always posed a threat to the body of Christ, the simple fact of the matter is that the formerly Christian lands of the prophet John's "whole world" are virtually 100% Islamic today.
That is, of course, with the exception of those whose freedom, liberty and right to self-determination are protected by the democracy of the Israeli Jewish State. Where Muslims also enjoy more freedom than they do in any Islam controlled country on earth.
You prefer abject ignorance even as "post-Christian Europe" continues to fall to Islam during this prophesied apostasy "As Islam replaces Christianity as the dominant religion in Europe...."
http://www.christianeschatology.com/falling_away_apostasy.htmYou remain so stunningly ignorant and brainwashed from truth that you even made such a ridiculous taqiyyah parroting and outright asinine statement as: "Islam would implode under its own weight if it were not for hatred against Zionism."
Which of course displays abject ignorance to not only 1400 years of imperialistic Islamic aggression and conquest, but also to the two million innocents that Muslims have killed or displaced in the Sudan alone, while you ignore the thousands of Christians murdered and churches burned in the Islamic conquest of Nigeria.....
http://www.nigeriacalabash.com/content/attack-christians-11-2011.....and Christians martyred in the far East, as well as ignoring the majority of the 21,000 deadly Islamic terror attacks around the world just since 9-11 which have nothing whatsoever to do with Zionism. You need to stop listening the the spin of the Nazis, skinheads, KKK, Muslims and Louis Farrakhan.
Fact is that if people read and UNDERSTAND the Bible, no human institution or religion can stand against the kingdom of God.
Nor has any institution ever been able to stand against the elect. This is why between 105,000 and 180,000 Christians are martyred around the world every year, mainly by the hand of Muhammadans. "Sunni Muslim terrorists committed “about 70 percent†of the 12,533 terrorist murders in the world last year, according to a report by the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC)."
Yet there you stand alone and naked in your dreams. Tell me, do you believe that Jesus was received by a metaphorical cloud?
Act 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Act 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
What about "in like manner" is so difficult for you to comprehend, that Christians have had no trouble understanding for nearly 2,000 years?
On which of the 14 pages you devoted to the subject of the Second Coming did you discuss these two most germane verses? Or were you so dishonest as to exclude them altogether?
Muslims are much lesser threat to Christianity than the Catholics Church of the Middle Ages.
Sure, as so clearly evidenced by the Middle East being nearly 100% Muslim as we witness the Muslim Brotherhood wiping out the remnant of Christians in Egypt through beheading and hacking to death with knives and machetes.
http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/So I pronounce you Pope RJ I the head of the tin-foil brigade.
While you stand as a champion of the Muslims in their conquest of Israel.
6. I find it also very amusing that you are quick to hurl insults at others but you are not able to handle it when you are confronted in return.
Why would Ellis or I be bothered by an anti-Zionist calling us names whether Nazi, KKK, Muslim, skinhead, or you since you choose to stand in the opposite camp even from your own church. Your name calling is a matter between you and Jesus Christ. Where did I call you a NUTJOB? I criticize what you say, and point out your abject ignorance in certain areas that is exposed in by you say, and other things about your unique heresy, but where did I engage in name calling? You even speculate about my wife and I when I simply pointed out your wife's disobedience to scripture and the likely presence of unclean spirits in a church that peddles a heresy that all Christians should be speaking in tongues.
You can check the record here.
http://www.islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=3601.0I call something foolish when it obviously is. We've all done foolish things, but that doesn't mean we are all fools. I simply showed you the scriptures that report the consequence of name-calling in efforts to warn you, just as I warn about your choosing to stand outside of nearly 2,000 years of UNIVERSAL Christin CORE doctrine. The subject of the Second Coming of Christ is not some ancillary issue.
Look if you want to insult me, than I will give you a taste of your own medicine. Most likely when you were a non-Christian you fried some of your brain doing drugs or were in some type of accident that insured your brain, because this is the most charitable way to explain you obsession with Muslims.
Regards,
Gerald Haug
You are going to need to get a little thicker skinned regarding constructive criticism, or loose your mind, if you are going to continue to go around trying to peddle a heresy that is unique to yourself, and contrary to nearly 2,000 years of UNIVERSAL Christian CORE doctrine.
In the meantime I would encourage you to learn a little more about Islam so you don't have to keep demonstrating your abject ignorance to it.
Qur'an 33:26 "Allah took down the People of the Scripture Book. He cast terror into their hearts. Some you slew, and some you made prisoners. And He made you heirs of their lands, their houses, and their goods, giving you a land which you had not traversed before. And Allah has power over all things."
http://www.petewaldo.com/jihad_conquest_terrorism.htmThat's why you stand with the brainwashed anti-Zionists in this college lecture room, and the Islamic conquest of Israel:
