Plenty of cults exist - every cult has its 'religious dogma', its idols, its 'prophets', its 'science', its 'proof' and its intolerant liturgy of demands. Cults everywhere: Corona, 'The Science' or Scientism, Islam, the State, the cult of Gender Fascism, Marxism, Darwin and Evolution, Globaloneywarming, Changing Climate, Abortion...
Tempus Fugit Memento Mori - Time Flies Remember Death
Moslems do not have within Mein Koran, anything approaching the grace, the glory or the truth of the New Testament. Humility, gratitude, love, forgiveness [7 times 70 times according to Christ]; these are the animating principles of Christ, the Mass of Christ and the celebration of his birth, Christ mas[s]. In Islam, or Submission the core ideas are Jihad, death to non Moslems, aggression, war, sex slaving and supremacism. These evils are emblematic of the life of the cult's founder Muhammad, and at one time, Christians rightly called Islam the cult of Muhammad, or Muhammadism. A term that is far more accurate than Islam, even though Submission [Islam] to Muhammad, is a main theme of Mein Koran.
For pagan Atheists, Christ has nothing to do with the pagan Roman worship of the Syrian Sun God, or Sol Invictus. The Romans only worshiped Sol Invictus [and not even on December 25], some 70 years or more after, Christians had proclaimed and venerated the same date as the birth of the Savior. The Romans did this to try to eclipse what cannot be hidden, to darken the light that cannot be shadowed, and to move truth into myth. They along with their empire, failed.
There is no expostulation within Islam or Atheism to match the following, inspired by the truth and the Godhead, expressed in many masses across the Christian world during December 24th and 25th:
“No more let sin and sorrows grow, Nor thorns infest the ground, He comes to make his blessings flow....He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove, The glories of his righteousness...The wonders, wonders of his love.” [Isaac Watts, 1674-1748, based on Psalm 48]
“Yet with the woes of sin and strife the world has suffered long; beneath the angel-strain have rolled two thousands years of wrong; and man, at war with man, hears not the love-song which they bring; O hush the noise, ye men of strife, and hear the angels sing” [E. H. Sears, 1810-1876]
“Silent Night, holy night, shepherds quake at the sight, glories stream from heaven afar, heavenly hosts sing 'Alleluia'!, Christ the Savior is born. Silent Night, holy night. Son of God, love's pure light radiant beams from thy holy face, with the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord at they birth.” [Joseph Mahr, 1792-1848, written during the devastation of the Napoleonic wars upon Europe, another Atheist madman].
You have to be a hard man indeed, not to be moved by the grace of the Gospel, the beatific prose of John, Mark, Matthew, Paul, the early Church Fathers or great men such as Augustine and Loyola. Only a man without a conception of consciousness and the soul, can possibly reject the truth of the immaterial. What a sad life it must be, clinging to the belief that all is material, dialectical, clashing chemicals washing around 'evolving' by magic, no free will and indeed no purpose whatsoever to life. The Buddhist nightmare declaring that you are useless and destined to nothingness; pregnant in the Atheist hell of irrelevancy and hopelessness.
The virgin birth, life and death of Christ was prophesied by Isaiah, Micah, Daniel and other Old Testament prophets. The resurrection of Christ was confirmed not only by the Shroud of Turin, but by the 16 guards stationed at the tomb of Christ by the Romans and Sanhedrin, in order to stop the Christians from moving the body. The Jewish leaders well knew Christ's forecast, that his temple [meaning his body] would be destroyed but rebuilt in 3 days. The guards fled at the supernatural event, the Shroud of Turin confirms in a electro-magnetic 3D image the entire body and face of the crucified and risen Christ. Technology today cannot replicate such an image. Stained onto the linen vegetation of Israel in the 1rst century AD, is the perfect portrait of the mangled Christ. The guards attested to the risen.
The Jews and Romans, concerned with earthly, secular affairs, bribed them to keep quiet and ignored the evidence. The Jews then spent 30 years in a vicious persecution of Christians, killing many of the Apostles and early Church Deacons, along with laity, numbering in their thousands. In AD 64, Nero outlawed Christianity initiating 250 years of bloodshed and murder. Tens of thousands of innocents were murdered by the Roman state.
Yet those days are here again and have been present for 1400 years in the guise of Muhammadism, which seeks the obliteration of Christianity. The Moslem evisceration of Christians, their symbols, their women, their churches and their culture runs deep in blood, from one end of the globe to the other.
And the secular world yawns, turns away, and tunes in to their fantasy media-world, hugging their PC bibles, praying at their Atheist idols, suckling on their multi-culti baby rattles.
