| 1. Tiempo de sanidad para los Eneas Este es el tiempo en donde aquellos que han estado paralizados, los que por casi 8 años no han podido dar pasos de avance, se quiebra ahora toda parálisis, toda enfermedad física, emocional y espiritual, esos que no han podido valerse por sí mismos, y que su condición cada vez ha sido peor, de mucha miseria, y que literalmente se han sentido lisiados, hoy son sanados. Te levanto ahora, nunca más el lecho del dolor, viene el tiempo de tu reposo, el tiempo donde todos recibirán testimonio de cuan grandes cosas he hecho yo contigo, declara el Señor. Entonces las iglesias tenían paz por toda Judea, Galilea y Samaria; y eran edificadas, andando en el temor del Señor, y se acrecentaban fortalecidas por el Espíritu Santo. Aconteció que Pedro, visitando a todos, vino también a los santos que habitaban en Lida. Y halló allí a uno que se llamaba Eneas, que hacía ocho años que estaba en cama, pues era paralítico. Hechos 9:31-33 2. Tiempo para ver las respuestas inmediatas del Señor. Para unos será en una hora, para otros serán 24 horas, para otros todo se moverá en 48 horas, otros verán la respuestas en 72 horas y otros saldrán al lugar de su victoria en 7 días, estoy alineando tus circunstancias para que veas que entraste en la estación del cumplimiento. Declara el Señor. “Pero cuando vino el cumplimiento del tiempo, Dios envió a su Hijo, nacido de mujer y nacido bajo la ley.” Gálatas 4:4 3. Tiempo de la Gloria postrera. Dice el Señor: largo ha sido el camino que has recorrido, y has visto mi mano de provisión, de mi Gloria, mi respaldo en lo que yo te he llamado a hacer, y te has gozado con los resultados, los frutos que has cosechado, pero ciertamente hoy te anuncio que la gloria postrera será mejor y mayor que la primera, porque vas para mas, hay mucho mas, los desafíos son más altos, los costos son grandes, pero llego el tiempo para ti de las oportunidades de oro, las estoy acercando a ti, porque fuiste probado y fuiste hallado fiel. “La gloria postrera de esta casa será mayor que la primera, ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos; y daré paz en este lugar, dice Jehová de los ejércitos.” Hageo 2:9 4. Tiempo de cambio de ADN. Vienen tres meses de cambios de condiciones, esta temporada es para los entendidos en los tiempos, te estoy sacando del pozo de la desesperación, te estoy trayendo desde atrás y te estoy poniendo adelante, hay un nuevo posicionamiento para ti, te estoy enseñando a ver como yo veo, he cambiado tu ADN y ahora veras los que antes te costaba mucho ver, te darás cuenta que los que antes se oponían o te estorbaban, se hacen a un lado y aun te preparan el camino para que entres a tu nueva estación, declara el Señor. “Como todas las cosas que pertenecen a la vida y a la piedad nos han sido dadas por su divino poder, mediante el conocimiento de aquel que nos llamó por su gloria y excelencia, por medio de las cuales nos ha dado preciosas y grandísimas promesas, para que por ellas llegaseis a ser participantes de la naturaleza divina, habiendo huido de la corrupción que hay en el mundo a causa de la concupiscencia.” 2 Pedro 1:3-4 5. Tiempo para que te muevas en multiplicación. Lo que hables desatará un nuevo lenguaje, palabras del reino, son semillas cargadas de abundante cosecha, te oirán y se sorprenderán porque estas cambiando de dimensión, los exámenes que has pasado te aprobaron, y ahora lo que te asustaba ya no te asusta, ganaste un dominio sobre la adversidad, hoy es el tiempo para que hables lo que se habla en el cielo, para que oigas con atención la voz del Padre acerca de ti. Mira las multitudes, mira los recursos, mira los milagros, entraste a la multiplicación, el incremento llego, dice el Señor. “Y te amará, te bendecirá y te multiplicará, y bendecirá el fruto de tu vientre y el fruto de tu tierra, tu grano, tu mosto, tu aceite, la cría de tus vacas, y los rebaños de tus ovejas, en la tierra que juró a tus padres que te daría. Bendito serás más que todos los pueblos; no habrá en ti varón ni hembra estéril, ni en tus ganados. Y quitará Jehová de ti toda enfermedad; y todas las malas plagas de Egipto, que tú conoces, no las pondrá sobre ti, antes las pondrá sobre todos los que te aborrecieren.” Deuteronomio 7:13-15 6. Tiempo del ciento por uno Esta es la hora de los segadores, de aquellos que su marca es la semilla, que fueron diseñados para traer la cosecha más grande sobre la tierra, porque entendieron que toda semilla que llega a sus manos deben sembrarla, ciertamente estoy poniendo la revelación en mi pueblo para que siembren agresivamente todos los días, todas las semanas, todos los meses, YO estoy desatando a los hombres y mujeres del Salmo 1, que son como árboles plantados junto a corriente de agua, que dan su fruto en su tiempo y su hoja no cae y que todo lo que hacen prospera, pueblo mío no tengas temor de dar, todo lo que siembres en este mes de julio te producirá una cosecha del CIENTO POR UNO, entra en esta ola de milagros, te dice el Señor. “Y sembró Isaac en aquella tierra, y cosechó aquel año ciento por uno; y le bendijo Jehová. El varón se enriqueció, y fue prosperado, y se engrandeció hasta hacerse muy poderoso.” Génesis 26:12-13 7. Tiempo de la bendición del profeta Hoy estoy acreditando la voz profética en medio de mi pueblo, porque ciertamente, has estado pasando por momentos de crisis, donde la esperanza se ha ido y ha venido desánimo sobre ti, pero yo lleno tu boca de mis pensamientos y cada vez que tu desde la unción profética los desates sobre mi pueblo, yo haré que el primero que vea los milagros seas tú, y verás a los demás recibiendo lo que hayas desatado, estos son días de honra para ti y para el ministerio, aun los que están lejos serán alcanzados con la bendición de mi Palabra en tu boca, dice el Señor. “Yo soy Jehová tu Dios, Que te hice subir de la tierra de Egipto; Abre tu boca, y yo la llenaré.” Salmos 81:10 “Y este será mi pacto con ellos, dijo Jehová: El Espíritu mío que está sobre ti, y mis palabras que puse en tu boca, no faltarán de tu boca, ni de la boca de tus hijos, ni de la boca de los hijos de tus hijos, dijo Jehová, desde ahora y para siempre.” Isaías 59:21 8. Tiempo para ser fiel en lo poco. Porque a algunos les entregué 5, a otros 2 y a otros 1 talento, y ha llegado el tiempo de rendir cuentas, vengo pronto para levantar a los diligentes, a los que aprovecharon el tiempo, las oportunidades, los recursos, las conexiones, todo lo que he puesto disponible para tu victoria; estoy abriendo una ventana de gracia para que esos talentos que tienes produzcan el doble. Muévete, da pasos de fe, compra sin dinero, no sigas esperando más, llegó tu tiempo, mira lo que tienes en tu mano, eso es suficiente aunque sea poco. Mi mano esta sobre ti, declara el Señor. “Porque el reino de los cielos es como un hombre que yéndose lejos, llamó a sus siervos y les entregó sus bienes. A uno dio cinco talentos, y a otro dos, y a otro uno, a cada uno conforme a su capacidad; y luego se fue lejos. Y el que había recibido cinco talentos fue y negoció con ellos, y ganó otros cinco talentos. …Después de mucho tiempo vino el señor de aquellos siervos, y arregló cuentas con ellos.” Mateo 25:14-16, 19 9. Tiempo para que veas clarear la mañana. Estoy trayendo un nuevo despertar sobre tu vida, por muchos días has sentido que tu noche nunca termina, que tinieblas cubren todo lo que te rodea, y hasta desesperado te has sentido, yo te anuncio que el sol está levantándose, que te despertará con sus rayos y te avisará que tu mañana llegó, Yo estoy llenando tus días de esperanza, estoy llenando tu corazón de confianza, no temas, en mi estas seguro, y los pensamientos que tengo acerca de ti son de bien, recuerda que eres un vencedor que este proceso solo es tu entrenamiento para entrar en tu siguiente nivel. Dice el Señor. “Dios está en medio de ella; no será conmovida. Dios la ayudará al clarear la mañana.” Salmos 46:5 10. Tiempo donde el débil dirá fuerte soy. No tengas miedo manada pequeña, recuerda que estas en el hueco de mi mano, y mis planes contigo son de bien, de vida abundante, nada ha perdido propósito, ninguna pérdida ha sido para arruinar tu vida, y aunque ciertamente en muchos momentos te has sentido débil, derrotado, cansado, desilusionado, eso ha provocado mi fortaleza dentro de ti, ahora eres más fuerte, y ahora puedes hacer huir a miles, párate en la roca que es más alta que tu porque ahí eres fuerte, nada ni nadie te podrá hacer frente porque el Gran YO SOY está contigo. “Forjad espadas de vuestros azadones, lanzas de vuestras hoces; diga el débil: Fuerte soy.” Joel 3:10 11. Tiempo para alargar tus estacas. Porque te ensancharás, te ensancharás, te ensancharás, hacia arriba, hacia abajo, hacia el este, hacia el oeste, hacia adentro y hacia afuera, aunque tu primer estado haya sido pequeño, lo que viene para ti será grande, crece el sitio de tu tienda, en los próximos días estarás firmando nuevas negociaciones, nuevos contratos, nuevas escrituras, hay cambio de chequeras, nuevas visas, conocerás gente que solo será usada por mí para que te hagan entrar en nuevos mercados, los que antes anhelaron llevar sus productos a nivel regional, este es el tiempo, crecen las exportaciones hacia Europa, hay nuevas políticas en el mercado internacional que están a tu favor. Declara el Señor. “Ensancha el sitio de tu tienda, y las cortinas de tus habitaciones sean extendidas; no seas escasa; alarga tus cuerdas, y refuerza tus estacas. Porque te extenderás a la mano derecha y a la mano izquierda; y tu descendencia heredará naciones, y habitará las ciudades asoladas.” Isaías 54:2-3 12. Tiempo para caminar en productividad. De aquí a diciembre serán creadas las condiciones para cerrar el año 2014 lleno de mi bendición, este es tiempo de trabajar, es tiempo de crear, ciertamente estoy poniendo una idea estratégica en tu corazón, en tu mente y en tus manos, este mes de julio se crea una plataforma, planifica delante de mi presencia, para que tengas claridad de lo que vas a emprender, los negocios crecerán, prepárate porque la puerta para los viajes de negocios se abre, no estás en temporada baja, estas en la temporada de lo sobrenatural, tu mejor tiempo de productividad es hoy. “Honra a Jehová con tus bienes, Y con las primicias de todos tus frutos; Y serán llenos tus graneros con abundancia, Y tus lagares rebosarán de mosto.” Proverbios 3:9-10 DECRETOS APOSTÓLICOS: 1. Decretamos que todo espíritu de intimidación sobre los hijos de Dios ha sido vencido, toda amenaza es cancelada, y toda maldición es rota en el nombre de Jesús. 2. Decretamos cancelado todo diagnóstico de enfermedad y muerte, toda sentencia es anulada, el juicio levantado contra ti ya no procede, en el nombre de Jesús. 3. Decretamos desnudo el plan de destrucción del enemigo, se debilita su acción, se corta su territorio, y es expuesto públicamente en el nombre de Jesús. 4. Decretamos roto el lazo del cazador que fue tendido para hacer caer a los ministros de la predicación, y ministros de alabanza, en el nombre de Jesús. 5. Decretamos que la temporada del saco roto llegó a su fin, que el devorador ha sido reprendido y encarcelado en el nombre de Jesús. 6. Decretamos victoria en medio de los matrimonios, ocurre todo lo contrario de lo que el enemigo planificó en contra de ellos, la restauración visita cada familia, en el nombre de Jesús. 7. Decretamos un mes de pesca milagrosa, las aguas están listas, las redes están reparadas, vuelve a tirar la red porque ahora si veras el milagro en el nombre de Jesús. BENDICIÓN: Amados hermanos, queremos bendecir al Señor por sus vidas. Hemos entrado a una estación poderosa, una estación de fruto y una estación de respuestas de parte del Señor. Oramos para que esta palabra profética sea usada para que el Señor traiga cumplimiento a su vida “Dios es nuestro amparo y fortaleza. Dios es nuestro amparo y fortaleza, Nuestro pronto auxilio en las tribulaciones. Por tanto, no temeremos, aunque la tierra sea removida, Y se traspasen los montes al corazón del mar; Aunque bramen y se turben sus aguas, Y tiemblen los montes a causa de su braveza. Del río sus corrientes alegran la ciudad de Dios, El santuario de las moradas del Altísimo. Dios está en medio de ella; no será conmovida. Dios la ayudará al clarear la mañana. Bramaron las naciones, titubearon los reinos; Dio él su voz, se derritió la tierra. Jehová de los ejércitos está con nosotros; Nuestro refugio es el Dios de Jacob. Venid, ved las obras de Jehová, Que ha puesto asolamientos en la tierra. Que hace cesar las guerras hasta los fines de la tierra. Que quiebra el arco, corta la lanza, Y quema los carros en el fuego. Estad quietos, y conoced que yo soy Dios; Seré exaltado entre las naciones; enaltecido seré en la tierra. Jehová de los ejércitos está con nosotros; Nuestro refugio es el Dios de Jacob.” Salmos 46:1-11 Presbiterio Apostólico-Profético de Ministerios Elías El Salvador, Centroamérica, Julio de 2014 www.ministerioselias.org profetas99@yahoo.com mercedes_cristales_aquino@yahoo.com |

PALABRA PROFÉTICA PARA JULIO DE 2014: Ministerios Elias, El Salvador
VIOLENCIA PASTORAL: UN PROBLEMA SILENCIOSO: Recurso reservado por tener diferencias con la persona que lo escribio
"Apacentad la grey de Dios que está entre vosotros…no como teniendo señorío sobre los que están a vuestro cuidado, sino siendo ejemplos de la grey" 1 Pedro 5:2,3.

Gran parte de nuestra vida cristiana se encuentra influenciada por la inagotable labor que realizan pastores y líderes. Muchos de ellos no son solo sabios consejeros y modelos inspiradores de vida, sino también amigos que, de manera incondicional, nos brindan su apoyo y cariño.
Sin embargo, esto no siempre es así. En ocasiones, las personas son heridas en las iglesias por causa de la conducta despótica y arbitraria de muchos líderes y pastores. Lamentablemente, muchas veces el liderazgo autoritario es frecuentemente tolerado. Esto tiene negativas consecuencias para los creyentes que se encuentran bajo su influencia. En muchos casos, cristianos y cristianas largamente expuestos a esta manera de liderar tienden a forjar un carácter pasivo, dependiente, cerrado, acrítico y poco comprometido con las injusticias que suceden dentro de la iglesia. Las experiencias pueden ser a tal punto negativas que, en muchos casos, el creyente afectado puede terminar abandonando la iglesia y alejándose de Dios, o aprender a conservar su fe con peligrosas tendencias hacia la manipulación, la represión y la depresión.
A continuación, mencionamos algunas características de este agudo problema y planteamos algunas pautas para su solución.
I. ¿QUÉ ES LA VIOLENCIA PASTORAL?

Es todo acto, palabra o amenaza que, valiéndose de una posición de poder o autoridad en la iglesia, afecta la autonomía, la libertad y la integridad física, psíquica y espiritual de los creyentes.
A menudo, las conductas violentas no son conocidas por los miembros de la congregación. Esto no solo se debe al hecho de que el agresor, por su posición de liderazgo, tiene mayor poder para ocultar o tergiversar la información, sino porque, en muchos casos, la víctima calla a fin de “obedecer”, “no dar mal testimonio”, por miedo a ser expulsada o por “no dañar la unidad de la iglesia”.
Por otro lado, muchas veces las agresiones son revestidas o justificadas a partir de “explicaciones religiosas o bíblicas”, como el deber de sujeción a la autoridad, o frases como “no toquéis a mis ungidos”, entre otro tipo justificaciones revestidas de una aureola “bíblica”. Por esta razón, pocos creyentes se animan a denunciar la violencia, por temor a que, al hacerlo, puedan estar yendo en contra de la voluntad de Dios.
Todo esto hace que la violencia pastoral resulte difícil de identificar pero, sobre todo, hace más difícil aún que se puedan establecer medidas para que se le ponga fin o para que se sancione al líder o pastor agresor.
II. ¿CÓMO SE MANIFIESTA LA VIOLENCIA PASTORAL?

Sería imposible hacer una lista cerrada sobre las maneras en que se expresa la violencia pastoral. A veces, la violencia puede llegar a situaciones extremas, como el abuso sexual y el maltrato físico. Por ello, colocamos aquí solo las situaciones de violencia más frecuentes. Así, la violencia pastoral se manifiesta:
- A través de un lenguaje vulgar, agresivo u ofensivo a la hora de “aconsejar”.
- Prohibiendo o controlando las actividades que los creyentes realizan fuera de la iglesia (por ejemplo, prohibiendo que lleven cursos en otras iglesias o seminarios, o que estudien tal o cual carrera).
- Al poner un extremado énfasis en el “yo”, en la “autoridad”, la “obediencia” y la “sujeción”, y allí donde las relaciones con el liderazgo se dan de manera jerárquica.
- Utilizando un lenguaje bíblico o religioso para hacer prevalecer su punto de vista.
- Retirando a las personas del servicio o quitándoles responsabilidades asignadas, sin explicar el por qué o sin querer discutir adecuadamente las razones.
- Al tomar decisiones sobre las personas sin consultarles previamente.
- Manifestando enojo o fastidio frente a una opinión diferente a la suya.
- A través de burlas, ironía o sarcasmo contra algún hermano o hermana delante de los demás.
- Amenazando con sancionar o “atenerse a las consecuencias” a quienes no cumplan con sus órdenes.
- Exigiendo que todos deben estar de acuerdo con sus posturas teológicas, incluso en aquellas que no son esenciales.
- Al influenciar para que el creyente invierta toda su energía en el servicio dentro de la iglesia y según las pautas impuestas, sin tomar en cuenta su realización personal a través de otros medios o áreas de su vida.
- Al ver con recelo que la persona pide consejo de otros pastores u otros líderes.
- Colocando como líderes solo a aquellos que piensen como él.
- Al expulsar a algún hermano o hermana de la iglesia o del ministerio sin que se le permita explicar el porqué de su salida.
- Manteniendo un ambiente de temor en el que nadie se atreve a decir lo que piensa realmente, en el que se teme confesar las debilidades o en dar una opinión contraria a la del pastor o los líderes.
- Poniendo énfasis en la obediencia y no en los efectos que esta ha producido o ha de producir.
- A través de la aplicación de sanciones, disciplinas o medidas sin justificación alguna y de manera desigual.
- Al imponer u obligar a creer o confesar algo a los creyentes sin respetar el tiempo que necesitan para su debida comprensión.
III. MITOS SOBRE LA PASTORAL QUE REFUERZAN LA VIOLENCIA
Existen muchos mitos que se suelen repetir acerca de la pastoral y el liderazgo. En muchísimos casos, estos mitos sirven para ocultar el problema de la violencia y, de algún modo, sea consciente o inconscientemente, para justificarla. Veamos:
“El pastor sabe lo que es mejor para mi vida”.
FALSO
Como todo hombre, el pastor se puede equivocar (Jr 17:5). Interpretar qué es la voluntad de Dios para tu vida, te corresponde sólo a ti e, incluso, equivocarte sobre lo que quiere Dios para tu vida es algo que debe correr por tu cuenta y riesgo (Jr 31:29,30). En ese sentido, someterte a órdenes que van en contra de tu conciencia o de tu dignidad como hijo o hija de Dios sería un terrible error, pues significaría estar poniendo a los hombres antes que a Dios.

“Dios permite que el pastor sea así conmigo, para darme una lección y ayudarme a cambiar”
FALSO
Es verdad que Dios puede permitir circunstancias que pueden ser dolorosas a fin de que podamos extraer de ellas alguna lección; sin embargo, el maltrato hacia tu persona no deja de ser un pecado. Recuerda que el maltrato que recibes tú puede ser recibido por otros, y ello sucederá si simplemente decides callar o tolerarlo.
“Un buen cristiano debe siempre someterse a sus autoridades”
FALSO
El problema es la palabra “siempre”. En tanto que las autoridades son puestas por Dios, no sería posible someterse a las órdenes de una persona que van en contra de la voluntad de Dios. En este caso, es evidente que todo acto violento es rechazado por el Señor (“a paz nos llamó el Señor”, 1 Co 7:15). El principal sometimiento es a Dios y solo después podremos hablar del sometimiento a las autoridades. En Hebreos 13:7 la Biblia nos dice claramente que los creyentes no solo debemos imitar la fe de nuestros pastores, sino que debemos evaluar el resultado de su conducta. Solo si esta evaluación es positiva entonces podremos decir si esa conducta es digna de ser imitada o si esa orden es digna de ser obedecida.
“Yo solo debo cumplir con mi deber de someterme a mis líderes. Si ellos hacen algo malo, ya le rendirán cuentas a Dios, no me tengo por qué meter”
FALSO
Quien piensa de esta manera asume que la conducción de la iglesia le pertenece exclusivamente a los pastores y líderes y no a los creyentes en general, lo que resulta antibíblico (1 Co 12; Ro 12:4-8). Asimismo, el que piensa de esta manera parece creer en un sistema jerárquico, más parecido al sistema católico, que al evangélico. Pero la Biblia nos muestra otra cosa. Como creyentes, todos tenemos el deber de edificar el cuerpo de Cristo (1 Co 3). La Biblia enseña claramente que todos los cristianos somos reyes y sacerdotes (Ap 5:10), que todos los creyentes tenemos por igual al Espíritu Santo (1 Jn 2:27), de manera que todos cumplimos el deber de procurar que la iglesia ande conforme a la verdad. Finalmente, la Biblia condena el señorío de los pastores sobre los demás creyentes, indicando que el liderazgo debe ser por el ejemplo: “Apacentad la grey de Dios que está entre vosotros…no como teniendo señorío sobre los que están a vuestro cuidado, sino siendo ejemplos de la grey” (1 Pedro 5:2,3).
“Uno no debe juzgar, mucho menos denunciar a un pastor”
FALSO
Juzgar es emitir un juicio de valor, sea positivo o negativo. La Biblia nos dice que todos los creyentes estamos llamados a juzgar todas las cosas de esta vida (1 Co 6:3). Asimismo, la Biblia nos enseña que juzgar es malo cuando lo hacemos con una motivación mala (Stg 4:11,12), pero no cuando lo hacemos de manera objetiva y veraz. Por esa razón es que Jesús condena el juzgar “según las apariencias”, pero permite el juzgar “con justo juicio” (Jn 7:24). En ese sentido, siempre que defendamos la verdad y busquemos poner fin a la violencia dentro de la iglesia, sí nos está permitido juzgar la conducta de nuestros líderes, no para condenarlos o para justificar nuestro enojo, sino para confrontarlos y, de ser culpables, denunciarlos ante nuestras autoridades.

“Si no estás de acuerdo con la pastoral de tu iglesia hay otras iglesias en las que te puedas sentir más cómodo”
FALSO
No se trata de estar de acuerdo o no con un “estilo” de liderazgo. Tampoco es una cuestión de comodidad. Se trata de poner en evidencia un acto pecaminoso que daña a la iglesia y atenta contra la dignidad de los hijos de Dios. El que increpa a un pastor sobre su conducta violenta lo hace porque es un deber bíblico.
“No hay iglesia perfecta”
FALSO
Es verdad que no hay iglesia perfecta, pero ello no puede ser una excusa para evitar ver o denunciar una pastoral violenta. El pecado siempre existirá, pero eso no significa que no deba ser confrontado en espíritu de amor (Mt 18: 15-17; 2 Co 2:6-8).
“Tu única opción es someterte, nada vas a cambiar”
FALSO
Efectivamente, es posible que nada cambie, pero la Biblia nos enseña que más importante es hacer la voluntad de Dios. Someterse a una pastoral basada en la violencia es, en el fondo, dejar de asumir el deber que tenemos todos los creyentes de edificar el cuerpo de Cristo (1 Co 3) y de velar porque la iglesia de siempre un buen testimonio (1 Co 6:5).
IV. ¿QUÉ HACER FRENTE A LA VIOLENCIA PASTORAL?
1. INVOLÚCRATE CON EL PROBLEMA: El primer paso para poner fin a la violencia ejercida por el liderazgo es reconocer que el problema existe y convencerte de que la Biblia te llama a actuar por amor a su iglesia. Aun cuando no te veas afectado por el problema, probablemente sí sepas de una o varias personas que han recibido maltrato por parte del liderazgo. Si es así, involúcrate en los problemas de estas personas y trata de conversar o bien con el pastor, o bien con aquellos hermanos que conocen el problema y tienen la influencia para cambiar esa situación.

2. NO CALLES, NO TOLERES: Si te consideras una víctima, es preciso que expreses tus sentimientos y malestar directamente al líder o pastor que te maltrata. Si vez que persiste la situación, busca a otros pastores o líderes de confianza, pero que al mismo tiempo puedan tener influencia o un trato más cercano al pastor o líder que realiza el maltrato, a fin de que puedan conversar con él y el problema pueda solucionarse pacíficamente. En caso no seas tú una víctima, pero conoces algún caso, asume la responsabilidad de acompañar a otra persona en el proceso antes referido.
4. CUENTA LO SUCEDIDO A PERSONAS DE CONFIANZA: Es preciso que compartas tu problema con amigos de confianza que puedan acompañarte y consolarte durante la mala experiencia. Acudir a hermanos, amigos o pastores de otras iglesias puede ayudar a tomarte un respiro y a recibir consejos más objetivos e imparciales sobre la situación por la que estés pasando.

5. AGOTA LAS INSTANCIAS NECESARIAS: En caso sientas que has agotado los medios interpersonales, acude a los medios formales, esto es, al pastor principal de tu iglesia o al pastor que, dentro de la institución eclesiástica, sea jerárquicamente superior. Trata de hacer esto con líderes o amigos que puedan avalar tu testimonio. En ocasiones el pastor principal puede juzgar con imparcialidad, pero también puede ser que no lo haga y se cierre al diálogo. En ese caso, si lo deseas, procura agotar todas las instancias. Muchas iglesias conservan aun mecanismos de denuncia para los casos de violencia pastoral. En caso no los haya, confórmate con haber intentado resolver el problema a través de las vías formales y pacíficas. Lucha contra esos pensamientos de rencor, frustración y dolor, que te pueden llevar a “hacer justicia por tu propia mano”. Cuida tu testimonio. Una actitud pacífica y recta es suficiente para convencer a los demás de que tu causa es justa.
7. DE SER NECESARIO, BUSCA OTRA IGLESIA: Debes ponderar las posibilidades de encontrar otro lugar en el que puedas congregar, dependiendo, claro está, de la magnitud del maltrato. Eso te ayudará a modular los sentimientos de enojo y frustración, pero también puede ser que necesites otro ambiente eclesiástico que sea capaz de valorarte como persona, sin que pese sobre ti el estigma de “rebelde” o “insumiso”. Encontrar una iglesia con un liderazgo-siervo te ayudará mucho a seguir creciendo espiritualmente.
8. TOMA UN TIEMPO PARA RESTAURARTE: Superar las heridas que deja en ti el maltrato pastoral no es fácil. El dolor puede llevarte a alejarte de Dios y sentirte espiritualmente seco. Busca un tiempo a solas, abstente de las personas o lugares que te hagan recordar los hechos. Dedícate a la oración y a la lectura de la Palabra. Lo mejor en este periodo es descansar espiritualmente hasta que sientas que el problema no afecta tu carácter ni tu relación con las personas.

9. COMPRENDE Y PERDONA AL AGRESOR: Este paso es determinante para tu plena restauración. Debes comprender que, en muchos casos, el agresor es una persona que probablemente haya sido formada bajo un liderazgo autoritario, tan igual o peor que el suyo. La violencia no solo se explica a partir del pecado, sino de un proceso formativo que tiende a repetirse. Dios puede darte la oportunidad de restaurarte e, incluso, de usarte para influenciar en esta persona en el futuro, para que pueda comprender lo que significa una pastoral centrada en la ternura y el servicio.
IV. ¿CÓMO PREVENIR LA VIOLENCIA PASTORAL?
- Tomando conciencia de que la violencia pastoral es una realidad.
- Informando a los creyentes sobre las maneras en que se expresa la violencia pastoral.
- Concientizando a los creyentes a hablar y denunciar los actos de violencia pastoral, por amor a sí mismos y a la iglesia de Dios.
- Promoviendo un estilo de liderazgo horizontal y participativo, a fin de que no esté centrado en una sola persona.
- Fomentando el estudio bíblico serio y responsable de conceptos tales como “autoridad” y “sujeción”, a fin de demostrar que ellos se alejan de un modelo jerárquico.
- Organizando a los creyentes agredidos para que se reúnan y planteen acciones para ser escuchados dentro de sus iglesias.
- Proponiendo cambios institucionales dentro de las iglesias, a fin de garantizar que los mecanismos de impugnación estén reglados y tengan la debida objetividad e imparcialidad.
- Compartiendo y difundiendo las recomendaciones que se encuentran en esta guía.

Porque nos oponemos a las ventas en los templos//Why we're against the sales at the temples
A todos nuestros contactos:
Bendiciones y buenos dias. No apoyamos eventos en los cuales halla que pagar y esto es claro y eso incluye la venta de comida en los templos, con mucha mas razon. No podemos comerciar con el evangelio. La iglesia es a ser sustentada con diezmos y ofrendas y punto. Por algo me gusta la gente del Forum Apologetico (Armengot, Paulino, Penn and Polanco), porque hacen tremendas actividades Y EN HOTELES y no piden un centavo. Eso es de Dios. Tenemos que dejar de estar cobrando por actividades y empezar a enseñar a la iglesia que esto es para darlo por gracia, no para recolectar fondos. Favor de leer Mateo 10:8. En especial dejar las ventas de comida, porque Jesus saco un latigo y limpio el templo de mercaderes. Lean Mateo 21:12-17 por favor.
La Biblia en cierto aspecto lo unico que respalda es una libreria cristiana, pero por favor, pongan precios modicos, porque si vamos a Walmart un CD de musica de un grupo mundano de los 80s vale mas barato que uno cristiano. Por ende, deben ser libros y ya. Eso era costumbre y Cristo no los saco a ellos y les dejo, asi se convirtio el Eunuco leyendo un pedazo del libro de Isaias y Pablo lo respaldo. Favor de ver Hechos 8:26-39 y 2 Timoteo 4:13.
Si algo me gusta de Pedro y Juan es que le dijeron al paralitico en Hechos 3, en la Puerta de la Hermosa: NO TENGO ORO NI PLATA, PERO DE LO QUE TENGO TE DOY-LEVANTATE Y ANDA EN EL NOMBRE DE JESUS. Hoy dia muchas congregaciones, y diria la mayoria, dice: NO TENGO QUE DECIR QUE NO TENGO ORO NI PLATA PERO TAMPOCO PUEDO DECIR QUE TE LEVANTES Y ANDES EN EL NOMBRE DE JESUS.
Este que les habla ha escrito 7 libros y acabo de encontrar la memoria movible de 8GB que pense estaba perdida para el 8 y el 9, y los regalamos, y son mayormente para formar hijos espirituales. Y no me falta nada. Tenemos que poner las cosas claras y tenemos que comenzar a buscar primeramente el Reino de Dios y Su Justicia para que todo lo demas venga por añadidura, no las añadiduras a ver si viene el Reino de Dios.
Estamos en un tiempo de reforma donde se esta volviendo a la iglesia de Hechos, la que vio gloria, presencia, uncion, milagros, salvaciones a montones, y parte de esto es la reforma. LA REFORMA TRAE AVIVAMIENTO. Bendiciones y buen dia.
____________________________________________________________
To all of our contacts:
Blessings and good morning. We don't backup events in which there is some type of payment envolved to assist and this is clear in the Word of God, including the most of all, the food sales at the temple. We can't sale the gospel. The church is called to be sustained with tithes and offerings and that is it. That is why I really like the people from the Apologetic Forum (Armengot, Paulino, Penn and Polanco), because they organize tremendous activities IN HOTELS and don't ask for a penny. That is Godly. We have to stop charging money for activities and start teaching the church that is it to give by grace, as Matthew 10:8 states. Specially food sales, and that is why Jesus took a whip and cleaned the temple of merchants. Please read Matthew 21:12-17.
The Bible in some aspects support to have a Christian Bookstore, but please, put modest prices, because if we go to Walmart to buy a CD of a non-christian band from the 80s costs less than a christian music CD. That is why it should only be books and that is it. That is what they used to do and Christ didn't kick them out of the temple and left them, and by is how the eunuch that was reading a portion of the book of Isaiah got saved and Paul support it. Please read Acts 8:26-39 and 2 TImothy 4:13.
If there is something I really like about Peter and John is that they told the lame beggar at the temple gate called The Beautiful: Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk. Today many congregations, and I would say most of them, say: I DON'T HAVE TO SAY THAT I DON'T HAVE GOLD OR SILVER BUT NEITHER I CAN SAY TO THE SICK TO WALK IN JESUS NAME.
I have written 7 books so far and I just found my 8 GB memory that I thought it was lost for numbers 8 and 9 and we give them for free, and they are mainly to form spiritual children. And The Lord provides everything. We have to say things clear and we have to start seeking the Kingdom of God and its righteousness and all things will ge given, not seek all things and then you will get the Kingdom of God and its righteousness.
We're on a reformation time in which the church is going back to Acts, the one that saw the glory, presence, anointing, miracles and many salvations, and part of it is the reformation. THE REFORM BRINGS REVIVAL. Blessings and nice day.
Obispo Wilfredo Calderon: Gracias y nos veremos en casa (1941-2014)
Bendiciones y buenos dias:
Me agarro de sorpresa esta noticia puesta en el muro del Dr. Kittim Silva en Facebook. Yo no estaba de acuerdo con todo lo que el exponia, pero este varon de Dios fue usado por Dios para bendecir a mucho pueblo en Latinoamerica. Una vez mas, gracias Obispo Calderon porque queda un legado y son los expositores SENDA DE VIDA.
El Obispo Wilfredo Calderón de 71 años de edad fue llamado a la presencia del Señor
Por: Carlos S. Morán, Ed.D.
Wilfredo y Maryblanca Calderón se casaron en 1964 y procrearon cuatro hijos: Godofredo, Marco Antonio, Marco Aurelio y Martha.
El obispo Wilfredo Calderón de 71 años de edad fue llamado a la presencia del Señor el pasado lunes 10 de febrero de 2014. El y Maryblanca, su amada esposa de 50 años de casados, forjaron una hermosa familia de cuatro hijos, a saber, Godofredo, Marco Antonio, Marco Aurelio y Martha. En su temprana edad de 14 años, Wilfredo, fue llamado al ministerio. Su vocación ministerial fielmente la ejerció, en diferentes contextos, hasta su partida a la presencia de su Salvador. Su formación académica la realizó en varias instituciones incluyendo, entre otras, el Instituto Bíblico en Santa Tecla, El Salvador y el Colegio Lee en Cleveland, Tennessee.
La competente trayectoria al servicio del Señor del Obispo Wilfredo Calderón deja un fructífero legado de grandes logros. Además de ser pastor y profesor también administró instituciones de capacitación ministerial en diferentes sectores de Centro América. Muchos de los líderes en posiciones estratégicas, hoy día, en Centro y Sur América fueron impactados por su cátedra y testimonio. Asimismo, Wilfredo, como destacado redactor de obras escritas transmitió su pensamiento teológico y experiencia ministerial práctica en la autoría de varios libros. Su pasión por la literatura y recursos de excelencia para la educación cristiana hábilmente la expresó en sus años que fungió como director de Editorial Evangélica, en Cleveland, Tennessee. Sus varios libros y guías de cursos que compuso en sus cinco décadas de ministerio fueron publicados por las editoriales Vida y Senda de Vida.
Al cierre de la década de los noventa, Wilfredo y Maryblanca Calderón se trasladaron de Cleveland, Tennessee al sur de la Florida donde plantaron una hermosa iglesia. Mientras pastoreaban dicha congregación, Calderón persistió en la realización de su pasión por la composición de literatura cristiana y formación de líderes. Así que, hoy, confiada y victoriosamente podemos decir que la misma determinación, perseverancia y obediencia al Señor con la cual Calderón inició su carrera ministerial, en su país natal, Guatemala, fue lo que lo impulsó a permanecer fiel al llamado del Señor hasta la muerte. El obispo Wilfredo Calderón trabajó por el Señor resuelta y decididamente, con el mismo sentir y compromiso de Cristo, de acabar lo que había empezado. Al igual que Jesús, Wilfredo dijo con sus hechos, “he acabado la obra que me diste que hiciese” (Juan 17:4). Él devotamente cumplió su propósito en esta vida. Como buen soldado de Jesús, Wilfredo peleó, corrió y permaneció fiel a su Señor. Las palabras de partida del apóstol Pablo también son aplicables al conmemorar la vida del Obispo Wilfredo Calderón, “En cuanto a mí, mi vida ya fue derramada como una ofrenda a Dios. Se acerca el tiempo de mi muerte. He peleado la buena batalla, he terminado la carrera y he permanecido fiel. Ahora me espera el premio, la corona de justicia que el Señor, el Juez justo, me dará el día de su regreso; y el premio no es sólo para mí, sino para todos los que esperan con anhelo su venida” (2 Timoteo 4:6-8).
El personal del Departamento de Ministerios Hispanos al igual que Editorial Evangélica, entre otros ministerios de la Iglesia de Dios, se unen a la hermana Maryblanca Calderón, a sus hijos al igual que todos los seres queridos de ellos en los Estados Unidos y Guatemala en la conmemoración de la partida a la presencia del Señor de nuestro hermano en la fe, amigo y consiervo Obispo Wilfredo Calderón. Recordemos a la familia Calderón en oración y que el Espíritu Santo consuele sus corazones, Salmo 46.

¿QUIEN ES UN PADRE ESPIRITUAL?
Podríamos utilizar muchos conceptos para definir a un padre, sin embargo lo definiremos diciendo que un padre es:
1. FUENTE DE:
a. De amor
Ser amado es una de las necesidades mas grandes que los seres humanos experimentamos. Los padres espirituales son fuente de amor, del amor del Padre Celestial, ya que el amor de cualquier padre espiritual solamente es un pálido reflejo del amor de Dios.
“Porque Dios me es testigo de cómo os amo a todos vosotros con el entrañable amor de Jesucristo”. (Filipenses 1:8)
b. De seguridad
Un padre es fuente de seguridad de su hijo, pues representa una figura de autoridad y de superioridad frente a los enemigos. Una tarea fundamental de un padre es proporcionar esta seguridad a sus hijos, al tratarlos con ternura, con amor, y enfrentar con valentía todo adversario que se levanta en contra de su hijos.
“Antes fuimos tiernos entre vosotros, como la nodriza que cuida con ternura a sus propios hijos. Tan grande es nuestro afecto por vosotros, que hubiéramos querido entregaros no sólo el evangelio de Dios, sino también nuestras propias vidas; porque habéis llegado a sernos muy queridos .Porque os acordáis, hermanos, de nuestro trabajo y fatiga; cómo trabajando de noche y de día, para no ser gravosos a ninguno de vosotros, os predicamos el evangelio de Dios”. (1ª Tesalonicenses 2:7-9)
c. Alimentador
Nutrir para el crecimiento. El padre tiene alimento preparado, es “la mesa de la casa”. Por eso el hijo, aunque tenga muchas opciones de alimento, busca comer de la mesa del padre. El padre, debido a que conoce las necesidades de su hijo, sabe cual es el alimento necesario para el saludable crecimiento, qué dosis es la apropiada y cuando darle el alimento. Esto es parte del cuidado paternal. Solamente los verdaderos padres alimentan adecuadamente a sus hijos espirituales.
“desead, como niños recién nacidos, la leche espiritual no adulterada, para que por ella crezcáis para salvación”. (1ª Pedro 2:2)
d. Sostén
Otra tarea de los padres es la de servir de sostén o soporte emocional, espiritual y aún en otras áreas a sus hijos. Una necesidad esencial de todo hijo es saber que tiene un padre al que puede acudir en momentos de necesidad o angustia. El padre se vuelve un apoyo importante para sus hijos, solamente saberlo cerca en los momentos de necesidad es mucho de lo que los hijos buscan.
e. Proveedor
Aunque los hijos hayan crecido, en términos generales, los padres siempre son buscados por los hijos en búsqueda de apoyo en momentos de necesidad, porque saben que los padres son fuente de recursos. Un padre es un proveedor de recursos materiales, pero también de recursos espirituales. Los padres pueden proveer visión, unción, dirección, consejo, etc. Hay momentos en los que incluso los padres pueden ser fuente de provisión de dinero para sus hijos espirituales.
Los atributos mencionados arriba describen varias características centrales de un padre espiritual. Sin embargo, podemos agregar otras características que describen ciertas funciones que ellos desarrollan:
f. Buscan multiplicarse en otros
Un deseo “natural” en los padres es reproducirse en los hijos, es decir transmitir lo que ha recibido del Señor, impulsando a sus hijos para que lleguen mas allá de donde ellos han llegado. Por eso los padres quieren que sus hijos sean una extensión de su ministerio y que tengan todavía mas de lo que ellos tienen. Una forma de multiplicarse es tener muchos hijos que reproduzcan su unción y llamado.
“…Y dijo Eliseo: Te ruego que una doble porción de tu espíritu sea sobre mí.” (2º Reyes 2:9)
g. Transmiten vida
Los padres espirituales, al igual que los padres naturales, transmiten vida a sus hijos, la vida de Dios. Lo hacen al cubrirlos espiritualmente, al interceder por ellos, al imponerles manos, al entrenarlos en el ministerio, etc. La vida espiritual se transmite al engendrar los hijos, al dar a luz ministros, siervos de Dios.
h. Tienen un corazón tierno
“Antes fuimos tiernos entre vosotros, como la nodriza que cuida con ternura a sus propios hijos. Tan grande es nuestro afecto por vosotros, que hubiéramos querido entregaros no sólo el evangelio de Dios, sino también nuestras propias vidas; porque habéis llegado a sernos muy queridos”. (1ª Tesalonicenses 2:7-8)
En la iglesia del siglo XXI hay muchos maestros, pero pocos dispuestos a establecer relaciones de padres a hijos espirituales. Hay miles de tutores (tienen seguidores, creyentes), pero… ¿Quién es padre?
UN PADRE ESPIRITUAL SIEMPRE BUSCARA EL BIEN DE SUS HIJOS, LES DARA LO MEJOR DE LO MEJOR,LOS PREPARARA Y CAPACITARA PARA LA VIDA, Y AUNQUE SE VAYAN DE SU LADO EL SIEMPRE ESTARA PENDIENTE DE ELLOS.
RECIBAN MILES DE BENDICIONES EN ESTE DIA.

16 Re source material.
3 DEMON POSSESSION
Hindu yogis and Buddhist monks have been reported to spend long solitary periods of meditation in caves. I believe during these yogic meditations, the individual empties himself of all worldly thoughts and preoccupations.
4 DEMON POSSESSION OF MUHAMMED
Muhammad himself admitted that he was possessed by a devil:
(Al-Hadis. Volume 4, Book 54, No.516) Muhammed said that bad dreams are from Satan.
(Al-Hadis. Volume 4, Book 54, No. 513) Muhammad had his own resident demon, the one-eyed Dajjal. (Al-Hadis. Volume 3, page 803)
5 MUHAMMAD THE DIVINE
Muhammad exalted himself to be part of the Islamic godhead when he referred to Allah in the plural form:
‘So turn away from him who has given up Our mention and only desires the patient life.’ (Al-Qur’an. Sura 53, verse 29)Muhammad claimed that he was the truth, a claim that only deity can claim.
‘Abu Qatada reported that the Messenger of Allah said,
“Whoever has seen me has indeed seen the truth” Agreed. (Al-Hadis, Volume 2, page 102)Compare this with what Jesus said in John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth and the life:
no man comes to the Father but by meMuhammad also exalted himself as perfect and never in error.
‘By the star when it goes down,
Your Company has not gone astray nor erred,
(Al-Qur’an. Sura 53, verse 1-2)The deification of Muhammad is also contained in the Hadith. ‘Abu Hurairah reported from the Holy Prophet who said,
“Verrily, I am a mercy that has been raised up”
Attested by Darimi and Rahaqi.Even a stone was claimed by Muhammad to greet him.
Jabber-b-Samorah reported that the Apostle of Allah said: “Verrily I know certainly of a stone at Mecca which used to greet me before prophethood.
Surely I recognize it even now”
Attested by Muslim.
(Al-Hadis. Volume 4, page 367-368)Compare this with what Jesus said in Luke, Chapter 19, verse 40: “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”The deity of Muhammad is reinforced by the Egyptian mystic Darimi who claimed that Muhammad was already in existence before the creation of Adam.
‘Darimi reported that the Messenger of Allah said,
“The first light which Allah created was my light.”When Adam got to heaven, he found Muhammad’s name on Allah’s throne and engraved everywhere. Adam asked, “Who then is this Muhammad?”
Allah answered. “He is your descendent, and but for him, I should not have created you.”
Allah rebuked Adam for not praying to Muhammad.’Darimi also reported, “All of creation was made of the substance of Muhammad”
6 MUHAMMAD THE GURU
A guru is a man who claims divine commission. His actions reveal that his objective is to gather a following of people who are totally beholden to him for every detail of how life should be lived. He exalts himself and keeps his god mysterious, distant and unknowable, encouraging his followers to come to himself for direction.
The guru system is well established in Hindu beliefs and practices. A yogi first exalts his own teacher, even to the extent of a deity so that he himself role-models to his followers to exalt him and venerate every word that proceeds from his mouth and venerate the very ground that he has walked upon.
The exaltation of Muhammad into a guru is reflected in his sweat being described as fragrant (Al-Hadis. Volume 4, page 337), and that he was more beautiful than the moon ( Al-Hadis. Volume 4, page 339).
The veneration given to the sayings of Muhammad in the Hadith is typical of the guru archetype.
By exalting himself as perfect, Muhammad sets the stage for his followers to venerate him. (Al-Hadis, Volume 4, Page 316, 323 and 328)
One of the methods gurus use to control his followers is the use of repetitive ritual movements and chanting of words of obeisance to his deity.
This is typified in the Salat, the five times a day ritualistic prostration and chanting of praises to Allah while facing toward the Ka’ba in Mecca.
7 DECEPTION IS THE SIGNATURE OF SATAN
God created angels to fellowship with. I believe God gave free choice to angels, even the choice to disobey. Lucifer, the then worship- leader decided to disobey and persuaded one third of the angels to rebel. They were then cast out of heaven. Lucifer became Satan, the accuser of the brethren.
God created man to fellowship with. God gave man dominion over the earth.
The first action of Satan to Adam and Eve was deception.
To deceive is to swindle, hoax, cheat, mislead, dupe, fool, or entrap.
Satan possessed the serpent and duped Eve and Adam into eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, the one which God specifically forbade them to eat. (Genesis 3:1-7)
By this hoax, Satan cheated mankind of his right standing with God and dominion over the earth. Instead, mankind, including myself came under dominion of Satan and was headed for certain death.
In the ‘fallen’ state, I am unable to fellowship with God. However, God still wanted to fellowship with me.
The triune Godhead sent a part of Himself, Jesus to earth as a man to die and bear the total punishment for the disobedience (sin) of all of mankind so that in believing in this sacrifice, my fallen spiritual self will die and become reborn as a brother or sister of Christ Jesus.
As a new creation (2Corinthians 5:17), I can directly fellowship with God by casting all my cares to Him, secure in the belief that I have absolute right-standing with Him ( Psalm 55:22, 1 Peter 5:7)
When I believe in Jesus as my savior, I am freed from bondage to Satan. Satan is powerless to prevent me from believing the good news of the divine exchange.
What he can do is to deceive me with alternative routes to God like Hinduism, Buddhism, New Age and Islam. Satan inspired Hinduism and Buddhism with the core belief of Karma and reincarnation.
The concept of reincarnation has been debunked by the concept of demonic spirit possession explaining all the ‘evidence’ proffered for reincarnation.
Hence reincarnation is a lie and Hinduism, Buddhism, and New Age are deceptions. They bear the signature of Satan, which is deception.
With the death burial and resurrection of Jesus, Satan has had been stripped of his power over me and over anyone else who believe in the risen Jesus Christ. This is because at the name of Jesus every name will bow, including the name, Satan (Philippians 2:10).
8 THE DECEPTION OF ISLAM
Muhammad had knowledge of the Holy Bible from Waraqah, the cousin of his first wife, Khadijah.
When Muhammad frequented the cave at Hira to meditate, I believe that the fallen angel Satan saw an opportunity to execute his diabolical deception. I believe the fallen angel Satan appeared to Muhammad and thoroughly deceived Muhammad into believing that the he was Gabriel.
Muhammad’s description of experiencing forcible pressure from ‘Gabriel’, commanding him to recite, is a graphic description of demon possession.
Thereafter, having duped Muhammad into believing that he is the apostle of the creator, Satan fully possessed Muhammad and inspired in Muhammad a series of messages which were compiled into the Qur’an.
In order to be credible, the messages contained some truthful information like the mention that Jesus was of virgin birth and that Jesus performed miracles. However, Satan inserted numerous lies to deceive me and you.
The main lies are the following:
15 THE GOOD NEWS OF GRACE
I believe Jesus is the Son of El-Elyon. Once I believe in Jesus, I become His sibling, and El-Elyon becomes my father (Abba) and I receive and accept permanent and irrevocable right standing and salvation forever (Galatians 3:26-27).

1 WHAT IS ISLAM
The word islam means submission. Islam is a system of beliefs originated by Muhammad who lived in Arabia from 570 to 633 AD.
Central to this belief system is the claim by Muhammad that he believed the angel Gabriel appeared to him in a cave at Hira situated a few miles from Mecca in the month of Ramadan in 610 AD when he was 40 years of age.

Central to this belief system is the claim by Muhammad that he believed the angel Gabriel appeared to him in a cave at Hira situated a few miles from Mecca in the month of Ramadan in 610 AD when he was 40 years of age.
The material from this claim and subsequent numerous repeated appearances of Gabriel to Muhammad revealing the words of Allah was recorded in a 114 chapter document named the Qur’an.
Further material was recorded in the Hadith which is a compilation of witnessed accounts of what Muhammad said during his life after 610 AD. The most authoritative and complete version of the Hadith was compiled by Sahih Bukhari (also known as Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Ismail bin Ibrahim al-Mughira al-Jafai) who lived some 200 years after the death of Muhammad.
Muhammad’s first vision involved the presence of what Muhammad thought was the angel Gabriel pressing him three times and on each release, commanding him to read. After which the angel said,
“Read in the name of your Lord. Who creates. He created man from a clot. Read, by your most generous Lord.
Who taught by the pen.
He taught man what he did not know.”
(Sura 96, verses 1-5 of Al-Qur’an)
Subsequently, Muhammad reported another vision. He saw what he thought was the same angel who appeared to him in the cave at Hira, sitting on a chair between the earth and the sky. He was terrified and returned home and told Khadija, his first wife, “Wrap me” After which, he claimed that Allah revealed to him the following verses of the Qur’an:
“O Enrobed one. Arise and warn.
Glorify your Lord. And purify your garments.
And abandon abomination.”
(Sura 74, verses 1-5 of Al-Qur’an)
“Read in the name of your Lord. Who creates. He created man from a clot. Read, by your most generous Lord.
Who taught by the pen.
He taught man what he did not know.”
(Sura 96, verses 1-5 of Al-Qur’an)

“O Enrobed one. Arise and warn.
Glorify your Lord. And purify your garments.
And abandon abomination.”
(Sura 74, verses 1-5 of Al-Qur’an)
I believe Muhammad sincerely believed that he actually saw the angel Gabriel. However, I believe that the angel was not Gabriel. I believe the angel was a demon, probably Satan himself.
I believe Muhammad was deceived by a demon who subsequently possessed his mind, changed him and made use of him to deceive mankind into worshipping a pagan idol named Allah in place of the one true God of Abraham called El ( El-Elyon, Elohim).
2 WHO IS ALLAH
Some 3000 years BC, in the Tigris and Euphrates river basin, there was an ancient civilization called Sumer, with its people called Sumerians.
Some 3000 years BC, in the Tigris and Euphrates river basin, there was an ancient civilization called Sumer, with its people called Sumerians.
From archaeological findings of cuneiform engravings, there was a pagan idol named Lil. The name was subsequently modified to Enlil as well as Ramman-ilani.
This Ramman idol was transported via trade routes to India to become the Brahman of Vedic literature, subsequently forming the Hindu religion.
The pagan idol remaining in the land of origin became known as Baal of Babylon. By trade route spread, this pagan idol became arabicised into the name Al-ilah. Al-ilah also had a consort pagan idol named Al-ilat.
With time, Al-ilah became shortened to Al-lah and then Allah.
The name Allah became known as the generic name for god.
The consort Al-ilat became known as Al-lat. Al-lat is one of the pagan idols found in the Ka’bah shrine in Mecca referred to in the Satanic verses of Sura 53 of the Qur’an.
Al-ilah was the Babylonian moon god whose symbol was the crescent moon. Hence Islam uses the crescent moon as it's symbol. The crescent moon adorns every place where Allah is worshipped.
Hence the name Allah is not the same name used by Abraham for God which should be El. Even the name of Abraham’s son from Hagar is named after El as Ishma-el. Ishmael is purportedly the original father of the Arabs.
I believe Satan’s deception is in hijacking the ‘one god’ concept of Judaism and Christianity with the use of the name Allah as the ‘one god’ rather than the genuine name El. This deception is rendered more persuasive by using the simplistic one entity Allah rather than the three entity Holy Trinity concept of Christianity.3 DEMON POSSESSION
Hindu yogis and Buddhist monks have been reported to spend long solitary periods of meditation in caves. I believe during these yogic meditations, the individual empties himself of all worldly thoughts and preoccupations.
In this blank state, the individual becomes susceptible to a demon entering his mind, spiritually deceiving him and taking over control of his spirit.
Demons are spirits. I believe they are fallen angels, chief among whom is Satan. Once a demon possesses an individual, the individual becomes the demon’s slave. The demon will alter the individual’s beliefs and consequently his attitude and behavior.
The demon possessed individual will almost invariably manifest the signature of Satan which is deception.4 DEMON POSSESSION OF MUHAMMED
Muhammad himself admitted that he was possessed by a devil:
‘Anas reported that Gabriel appeared before the Apostle of Allah (Muhammad), while he was playing with some boys. Gabriel took him, laid him down, pierced his heart, and took out a clot of blood. Then he said, “This is the portion of you possessed of a devil.” Next, he washed it in a gold cup with water from the well Zamzam. Thereafter sewed him up and took him back to where he found him…’ (Attended by Muslim. Al-Hadis, Volume 4 page 367)
Muhammad himself admitted that he was possessed by Satan at one time:
‘Have you, then, seen Al-Lat and Al-Uzza?
And Manat, the third one, the other?
These are exalted females (sublime ones), Mounting nearer and nearer to Allah
And truly their intercession may be expected. ( Al-Qur’an, Sura 53 verse19-20, and the Satanic verses in bold letters)
‘Have you, then, seen Al-Lat and Al-Uzza?
And Manat, the third one, the other?
These are exalted females (sublime ones), Mounting nearer and nearer to Allah
And truly their intercession may be expected. ( Al-Qur’an, Sura 53 verse19-20, and the Satanic verses in bold letters)
The Satanic verses were present in the original version of the Qur’an when Muhammad was trying to woo the Meccans who believed in many gods including the pagan idols Al-Lat, Al-Uzza and Manat.
Later on, when he was in a more commanding position, he conveniently edited out these embarrassing verses, admitting that they were inspired in him by Satan. “We have not sent a messenger or prophet before you but when he recited, the Devil would intrude into his recitation. (Al-Qur’an. Sura 22 verse 53) Muhammad admitted that he had a Jinn (demon) up his nose.(Al-Hadis. Volume 4, Book 54, No.516) Muhammed said that bad dreams are from Satan.
(Al-Hadis. Volume 4, Book 54, No. 513) Muhammad had his own resident demon, the one-eyed Dajjal. (Al-Hadis. Volume 3, page 803)

Muhammad’s description of experiencing forcible pressure from ‘Gabriel’, commanding him to recite, is a graphic description of demon possession.
Thereafter, having duped Muhammad into believing that he is the apostle of the creator, Satan fully possessed Muhammad and inspired in Muhammad a series of messages which were compiled into the Qur’an.
In order to be credible, the messages contained some truthful information like the mention that Jesus was of virgin birth and that Jesus performed miracles. However, Satan inserted numerous lies to deceive me and you.
The main lies are the following:
The first lie is the name of The Creator, whom he called Allah. Although cited as the God of Abraham, the name Allah is actually a derivation of Al-ilah, which is derived from Lil, the pagan idol of ancient Sumeria. The true name of the God of Abraham is El or El-Elyon contained in the Torah.
I believe to substitute the pagan idol name Allah for El when denoting God the Creator is to blaspheme in a most heinous way. How has this occurred? I believe Satan has insidiously deceived the pagan ancient Arabs to use the name ilah to denote the generic word ‘god’. Since then, the Arabic language has been tainted with this Satanic stain.
I also believe in 610 AD, in a cave at Hira, Muhammad himself was deceived by a demon into believing the name of God the Creator was Allah. By this deception, Satan has hijacked the worship that was meant for God the Creator who was called El by Abraham.
This deception is so pervasive that even in the Al-Kitab, the Holy Bible in Arabic and in Bahasa Indonesia, the name used to denote God is Allah. Hence I believe all Muslims as well as those Christians who use the Arabic translations of the Holy Bible have been duped by Satan in a most diabolical way.
In order to repair the hedge of protection for Arabic and Bahasa speaking Christians, it is imperative to immediately replace the name, Allah with El.

In order to repair the hedge of protection for Arabic and Bahasa speaking Christians, it is imperative to immediately replace the name, Allah with El.
The second lie is the hijacking of the monotheistic ‘one god’ idea to mean one body called Allah instead of the true triune Godhead of God the Father (Abba), God the Son (Jesus) and God the Holy Spirit.
The third lie is to indicate that Jesus did not say that He was the Son of God when the exact opposite is true. (Matt 26:63-64)
The fourth lie is to indicate that Jesus did not die and resurrect from death, but someone else was placed on the cross instead (Sura 4:157-158).
There is compelling evidence, for the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. (Reference: pp 215-240. The best of Josh McDowell. A ready defence. 1993)
The fifth lie is to indicate that Muhammad is the Comforter (Paraclete) instead of the Holy Spirit.
It is stated very clearly that the Comforter will ‘reprove the world of righteousness because Jesus goes to His Father’ (John 16:7-11). Yet Muhammad denies that God is Jesus’ father. This automatically disqualifies Muhammad from being the Comforter.
I believe quotation of Bible verses only when it appears to agree with the Qur’an and ignoring the others and ignoring the context is deceptive.
Deception is the signature of Satan.
The sixth lie is that the Ka’ba, which contained 360 pagan idols is the shrine set up by Abraham to worship Allah.
Abraham was never in the vicinity of Mecca. Abraham migrated from Ur of the Chaldees up the Euphrates to Syria and then through Canaan south to Egypt and then back to Canaan. The desert of Paran is in the Sinai peninsula and not the Arabian peninsula (Genesis 21:21). The seventh lie is that Muhammad’s name is mentioned in the Gnostic ‘Gospel of St. Barnabas’. However, the only version of this is an obvious fake dating from the 18th century, in Italian, and containing passages from Dante’s Divine Comedy written in the 13th century.
The purpose of Satan’s deception is to downplay the truth about Jesus and to exalt the pagan idol, Allah.
9 A TREE IS JUDGED BY ITS FRUIT
A good tree will bear good fruit and a bad tree will bear bad fruit (Matthew 7:17-18).
Let us see what fruit Muhammad bore after his spirit was possessed by Satan.
Before his exposure to the demon at the cave at Hira, Muhammad was reported to be a peaceful man with one wife.
However after his call by Allah, he started to indulge in deception, highway robbery, banditry, rape and killing.
When Muhammad was 49 years old, a few weeks after the death of his first wife Khadija in 619 AD, Muhammad married Sauda bint Zamaa who was a widow and about 30 years of age.
When Muhammad was 53 years of age, he married Aisha bint abi Bakr in 623 AD, when she was still a 9 year old child!
When Muhammad was 55 years of age, he married Hafsa bint Umar ibn al Khattab in 625 AD. She was a young 17 year old widow.
In the same year, Muhammad married Zainab bint Khuzaima, a twice widow, but she died a few months after the marriage.
Muhammad’s sixth wife was Umm Salama, a widow of about age 30.
Muhammad married his own cousin, Zainab bint Jahash. She was also the divorced wife of his adopted son, Zaid ibn Haritha.
At the age of 57 years, in April 627 AD, Muhammad ‘married’ his Jewess prisoner Rahaina bint Amr, after executing all the adult males of a Jewish tribe Beni Quraidha, including her father. It is interesting that Muhammad had sexual intercourse with his prisoner before her next menses, contrary to his own rule regarding sexual intercourse with captured women.
In January 628 AD, at the age of 58, Muhammad raided the tribe of Beni Mustaliq and captured and ‘married’ Juwairiya , the daughter of the chief of that tribe.
In the same year, Umm Habeeba bint abi Sofian, a widow became his tenth wife.
After his followers raided Kheibar and killed Kinana ibn abi al Huqaiq, its Jewish leader, they captured his wife, Safiya bint Huyai ibn al Akhtab, whom Muhammad conveniently ‘married’.
Maimoona bint al Harith married Muhammad when he was 59 years of age.
Muhammad’s thirteenth and last marriage was to Mary a Christian slave girl given to Muhammad by the ‘ruler’ of Egypt.
Interestingly, although Muhammad pronounced that a believer of Allah can have only up to four wives at a time, he himself had a special divine dispensation to exceed that number.
After his escape from Mecca to Medina, Muhammad commenced a series of bloody raids on the caravans from Mecca in order to capture booty.
Interestingly, according to Muhammad, this activity was sanctioned by Allah as Jihad and one fifth of the booty goes to Allah (Khumus). Call it what you may but I consider it as highway robbery all the same. The raids progressively became bolder and included raids on neighboring settlements and tribes.
After the siege of Medina failed, Muhammad settled old scores by capturing the settlement of the Jewish tribe Beni Quraidha who had sided with the pagan Meccans. He robbed them of all their property, sold their women and children as slaves, and he executed all the adult males who numbered between 700 and 800. This effectively exterminated the entire tribe.
It appears that for Muhammad, the end justifies the means, even the use of deception.
While he was busily insisting that there is only one god, Allah, he found it appropriate to deceive the pagan Meccans by stating the Al-Lat, Al Uzza and Manat the popular female idols of the Ka’ba can be prayed to for intercession to Allah (Sura 53).
After he became more powerful, he deleted these embarrassing verses by giving the convenient excuse as well as an admission that they were inspired by Satan.
I believe this occurrence enormously increases the probability that the entire Qur’an and Hadith were inspired by Satan for the deception of mankind.
10 THE FIVE PILLARS OF DEMONIC ISLAM
The first pillar is the testimony of faith. This is to declare that Allah is the one and only creator god and Muhammad is his Apostle.
As was already pointed out, the name Allah actually denotes the name of a pagan idol. Declaring this testimony of faith is tantamount to declaring belief in a pagan idol, allowing the demon who has possessed that idol free rein to possess whosoever declares this testimony.
I believe Muhammad is truly the apostle of the pagan idol Allah and it’s possessing demon, whom I believe to be none other than Satan himself.
The second pillar is the ritual prayer Salat, which is the five times a day obeisance in the direction of the Ka’ba in Mecca ( Qibla).
This involves several rakaa or repetitions of obeisance.
The Islamic believer’s hands are raised and he says “Allah is most great”, the hands are the joined at the chest and the worshipper says, “ Glory be to You, O Allah, Yours is the praise, blessed is Your Name, exalted is Your Majesty and there is no god but You. I take refuge with Allah against the devil who is stoned.” Then the Fatiha or opening chapter of the Qur’an is recited. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds (ie the whole creation),
The Compassionate, the Merciful,
Master of the day of judgement,
Only You do we worship, and only You do we implore for help.
Lead us to the right path, The path of those you have favoured Not those who have incurred Your wrath or have gone astray. The worshipper then recites a chapter of the Qur’an of his choice and the says, “Allah is most great” and then bows from the waist, with the palms of his hand on his knees, saying three times, “Glory to my Lord, the Great”.
The worshipper then stands and says, “Allah hears him who praises Him. O Lord, Yours is the praise.”
He then falls to his knees and bends his body forwards with his forehead touching the ground, repeating thee times, “Glory to my Lord, the Most High.”
He then straightens up his body while still in the kneeling position, and sits on his heels for a few moments and the repeats the prostration with his forehead to the ground.
He then stands up in completion of the Rakaa. The Rakaa is repeated, the number of times varies on different occasions.
I believe this ritual of obeisance to the pagan idol Allah, repeated five times a day, ensures the demon possessing the idol to be invited to control the mind and spirit of the deceived worshipper.
I now understand why it is required for believers in Islam to repeat this obeisance five times a day. It is necessary in order to edify the effete idol and the demon which possesses it, as well as to ensure that the worshipper remains obedient to the demonic possessing spirit without questioning.
I also understand why believers of Islam are commanded to recite the Qur’an rather than to study the Qur’an. To study means to dissect and analyze. I believe that analysis of the Qur’an will reveal numerous inconsistencies that will generate doubt in the truth of Islam.
The third pillar of Islam is giving zakat (alms to the poor). I believe this reflects Mammad’s orphan beginnings. Moreover, charity lends an air of social acceptability and legitimacy.
The third lie is to indicate that Jesus did not say that He was the Son of God when the exact opposite is true. (Matt 26:63-64)
The fourth lie is to indicate that Jesus did not die and resurrect from death, but someone else was placed on the cross instead (Sura 4:157-158).

The third pillar of Islam is giving zakat (alms to the poor). I believe this reflects Mammad’s orphan beginnings. Moreover, charity lends an air of social acceptability and legitimacy.
The fourth pillar of Islam is the annual fast in the month of Ramadan. Depriving oneself of sustenance on command is an act of obedience and subservience.
I believe, once a year, believers of Islam rededicate themselves to acknowledging, in a very tangible and personal way, that the pagan idol named Allah is their master.
It is interesting to note that in Hebrew, ‘master’ is ‘baal’.
I believe, once a year, believers of Islam rededicate themselves to acknowledging, in a very tangible and personal way, that the pagan idol named Allah is their master.
It is interesting to note that in Hebrew, ‘master’ is ‘baal’.
The fifth pillar of Islam is the Hajj or pilgrimage to Mecca.
It is recommended that a believer in Islam perform the Hajj at least once in his lifetime.
I believe that this pilgrimage is a further act of obeisance to the pagan idol, named Allah.
The Hajj, as practiced by believers of Islam today, appears to be a re-enactment of Muhammad’s last pilgrimage on 9 March 632 AD. The ceremonies included the wearing of special pilgrim dress, the travel from Medina (Yathrib) to Mecca, the ritual throwing of stones at the devil at Mudzalifa, the slaughtering of sacrificial animals at Mina, and the seven time circumambulation of the Ka’ba.
I believe that every detail of the ceremony as laid down by Muhammad has a demonic significance.
The ritual throwing of stones at the devil is a deceptive ploy to dupe the believer of Islam that mere stone throwing will hurt a demon.
The slaughtering of sacrificial animals is to mimic the story of Abraham and the cutting of the covenant between El-Elyon and Abraham, in order to lend legitimacy to Islam.
However, I believe with the shedding of innocent blood in this sacrifice, a blood covenant is being cut between the pagan idol, named Allah and the unsuspecting pilgrim.
The Ka’ba was a pagan shrine to 360 idols even before Muhammad was born. It was originally a four walled building containing pictures and stone idols.
In one of its walls is a stone, believed to be a meteorite, which was worshipped as Al-Uzza, one of the three female idols referred to in the Satanic verses contained in the original, unexpurgated version of Sura 53 of the Qur’an. The Ka’ba was rebuilt and roofed in 605 AD when Muhammad was 35 years of age.
It was the practice of the Quraish tribe of Mecca to worship the pagan idols by walking and running around (circumambulating) the Ka’ba and touching the Black Stone.
Muhammad practiced this idol worship before his encounter with who he thought was the angel Gabriel at the age of 40 in 610 AD.
Even after the call, he continued the practice of worshipping at the Ka’ba in spite of his insistence that there was only one god.
Except for a period when he directed his followers to worship in the direction of Jerusalem, Muhammad required that the Salat, or the 5 times daily devotions be directed (Qibla) towards the Ka’ba in Mecca.
When Muhammad returned to Mecca in victory in 630 AD, he entered the Ka’ba and ordered all the painted figures on the walls to be erased and all idols in areas under his control to be destroyed.
It is believed by believers of Islam that the Ka’ba was the site of a shrine built by Abraham to worship his God. This is an attempt to lend legitimacy to the Qibla.
However, Abraham was never in the vicinity of Mecca in his lifetime.
I believe the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca and the ritualistic circumambulation of the Ka’ba is a continuation of the pagan worship before the birth of Muhammad.
After the return of Muhammad to Mecca, instead of patently worshipping many pagan idols, pilgrims are unwittingly worshipping one pagan idol called Allah.
I believe the touching of the Black Stone seals the covenant between the pagan idol named Allah and the pilgrim.
I believe this is the reason why believers of Islam are required to go for the Hajj at least once in their lifetime.
The sixth religious duty is Jihad (Holy War).
Men are required to go to war to defend Islam or to spread Islam when the situation warrants.
A man who dies in Jihad immediately goes to Paradise and is considered a martyr (Shahid).
11 THE BASE ALLURE OF ISLAM
It is easy to be converted to Islam. All a person is required to do is to declare the creed openly.
It appears that actual believing is not necessarily required.
It is easy to appear to be a Muslim.
All a person is required to do is to perform the Salat, the five times a day prayer, fast for one month in a year, give alms to the poor and attempt to go for the Hajj once in his lifetime. This would assure the person of acceptance by Allah.
It is interesting that the performance of the five pillars of Islam would guarantee salvation from Allah and that a Muslim can do any dastardly act and yet qualify to go to Paradise. How very ‘liberating’.
Islam appeals to the ‘animal’ desires of men.
Believers are allowed up to four wives at a time.
During Jihad, the Muta marriage law legitimizes rape by permitting the Muslim to ‘marry’ a woman for three days on presenting her with a piece of cloth.
The Muslin concept of Paradise panders to the sexual lust of men. They recline on beds interwoven with gold, supplied with unlimited limpid drink, fruits and flesh of fowl and wide-eyed houris (heavenly concubines), like hidden pearls, as a reward for what they do (Al Qur’an Sura 56, verses 15-24).
Muhammad was reported to have said, “ There is in Paradise a market, wherein there will be no buying or selling, but will consist of men and women. When a man will desire a beauty, he will have intercourse with them.” Reported by Ali and attested by Tirmizi (Al Hadis, Book 4, Chap 42, no. 34).
In Paradise, a man will be able to see the nakedness of a woman through seventy layers of dresses (no 652).
It is clear that sexual lust is the uppermost consideration in the eyes of Muhammad.
The only way a woman can get to heaven is by marrying a Muslim man. This way she can ‘enjoy’ seeing her husband having sexual intercourse with innumerable young women from the market of virgins, and ‘enjoy’ having other men looking through her clothing at her nakedness.
Participating in Jihad is attractive because the martyr is immediately transferred to Paradise to have sexual intercourse with virgins. If the warrior does not die, he has the spoils (booty) to enjoy.
Why don’t women reject this discrimination against them?
By participating in the rituals of obeisance to the pagan idol named Allah, they become demon possessed and thus become blind to reason and truth.
12 THE QUR’AN IS NOT PERFECT
By definition, the Qur’an is the complete collection of the revelations to Muhammad by the angel Gabriel from Allah. It is claimed that it is the same today as it was handed down by Muhammad to his companions. This is offered as proof that the Qur’an must be the word of God.
However, from the various Hadith ( Bukhari, Muslim, Mishkat-ul-masbih), that from the start, the Qur’an had many varied and conflicting readings. The choice and method of standardization was not by divine intervention but by the work of man.
The Caliph Uthman, noting that there were many versions of the Qur’an, called for the copy belonging to Hafsah (one of the wives of Muhammad and daughter of Umar), and had it copied and distributed throughout the Islamic realm and had all other versions destroyed by burning.
There is evidence that this ‘Revised Standard Version’ was not perfect. Sura 33, verse 23 was initially missing, and the readings on stoning for adultery is still not included in the Qu’ran (Ibn Ishaq, Sirat Rasulullah, pg 684).
If every word in the Qur’an is supposed to be the inspired of Allah, then why are Jewish folklore included in it?
The story of the raven scratching on the ground in the story of Cain and Abel ( Surah 5, verse 31. & Pirke Rabbi Eliezer Chapter 21).
The killing of one human being as equivalent to killing all mankind ( Surah 5, verse 32. & Mishnah, Sanhedrin Chapter 4, verse 5). The story of Abraham being thrown into a fiery furnace (Surah 21, verses 52-70 & Midrash Rabbah, where the Ur of Chaldees was mistaken for Or (fire) of Chaldees
13 THE QUR’AN IS DEMON INSPIRED
I believe The Qur’an contains material that is demon inspired.
There are prophecies and insights contained in the Qur’an and the Sunnah which cannot be explained by human intelligence at the time they were written. These have been proffered as evidence for the claim that the Qur’an was divinely inspired.
It is recommended that a believer in Islam perform the Hajj at least once in his lifetime.
I believe that this pilgrimage is a further act of obeisance to the pagan idol, named Allah.

It is clear that sexual lust is the uppermost consideration in the eyes of Muhammad.
The only way a woman can get to heaven is by marrying a Muslim man. This way she can ‘enjoy’ seeing her husband having sexual intercourse with innumerable young women from the market of virgins, and ‘enjoy’ having other men looking through her clothing at her nakedness.
Participating in Jihad is attractive because the martyr is immediately transferred to Paradise to have sexual intercourse with virgins. If the warrior does not die, he has the spoils (booty) to enjoy.
Why don’t women reject this discrimination against them?
By participating in the rituals of obeisance to the pagan idol named Allah, they become demon possessed and thus become blind to reason and truth.
12 THE QUR’AN IS NOT PERFECT
By definition, the Qur’an is the complete collection of the revelations to Muhammad by the angel Gabriel from Allah. It is claimed that it is the same today as it was handed down by Muhammad to his companions. This is offered as proof that the Qur’an must be the word of God.
However, from the various Hadith ( Bukhari, Muslim, Mishkat-ul-masbih), that from the start, the Qur’an had many varied and conflicting readings. The choice and method of standardization was not by divine intervention but by the work of man.
The Caliph Uthman, noting that there were many versions of the Qur’an, called for the copy belonging to Hafsah (one of the wives of Muhammad and daughter of Umar), and had it copied and distributed throughout the Islamic realm and had all other versions destroyed by burning.
There is evidence that this ‘Revised Standard Version’ was not perfect. Sura 33, verse 23 was initially missing, and the readings on stoning for adultery is still not included in the Qu’ran (Ibn Ishaq, Sirat Rasulullah, pg 684).
If every word in the Qur’an is supposed to be the inspired of Allah, then why are Jewish folklore included in it?
The story of the raven scratching on the ground in the story of Cain and Abel ( Surah 5, verse 31. & Pirke Rabbi Eliezer Chapter 21).
The killing of one human being as equivalent to killing all mankind ( Surah 5, verse 32. & Mishnah, Sanhedrin Chapter 4, verse 5). The story of Abraham being thrown into a fiery furnace (Surah 21, verses 52-70 & Midrash Rabbah, where the Ur of Chaldees was mistaken for Or (fire) of Chaldees
13 THE QUR’AN IS DEMON INSPIRED
I believe The Qur’an contains material that is demon inspired.
There are prophecies and insights contained in the Qur’an and the Sunnah which cannot be explained by human intelligence at the time they were written. These have been proffered as evidence for the claim that the Qur’an was divinely inspired.
These include the prophecy on the victory of the Byzantines over the Persians within nine years after their initial loss, as well as insights on scientific knowledge, viz. the description on the joining and stacking of clouds, the role of hailstones in the formation of lightning, mountains as pegs, the darkness in the deep sea, the waves inside the ocean, the partition of seas and estuaries, the snow age, the rotation and orbiting of the earth, the origin of the universe through smoke, pain sensation from burn, the front of the brain as responsible for lying and the early development of the human embryo.
I believe when Lucifer was cast down to earth together with his fallen angels, he became known as Satan, the accuser of the brethren. Because these fallen angels are spirit and unable to effect change on earth except through spirit possession of human beings, they have perfected the skill of possessing people’s minds and invented the concept of reincarnation to deceive people into accepting their repeated possession of people.
There is no reincarnation of the original spirits of people which are from El-Elyon, the true creator. There is only repeated spirit possession of people by the spirits of fallen angels (demonic spirits) which is their ‘reincarnation’.
I believe the original El-Elyon given spirit is given at conception, after the sperm enters the egg and they fuse to become another new, distinct and unique individual.
Demon possession can occur any time after conception. I believe that the possessing demon is able to retain memory of its experience in the body of the possessed person. Hence the knowledge of the early development of the embryo. This knowledge was revealed to Muhammad by the demon which possessed him. Hence knowledge of human anatomy and function can also be accounted for.

I believe the demons inhabit the realm of principalities and powers, which include the air, sea and earth (Ephesians 2:2) Hence their knowledge of the geological, meteorological and astronomical phenomena.
Their objective is to impress mankind and deceive us into believing that this knowledge is from the creator. Again, deception, the signature of Satan, is seen.
What about prophecy? Even the evil Balaam was able to prophesy. What about the miracles like splitting the moon and producing water from his hand ? Even Hindu yogis have been reported to perform miraculous acts. I believe the power to do this is demonic
14 ONLY THE PRETENDER NEEDS TO PROVE HIMSELF
The true creator does not need to prove himself as the creator.
A pretender needs to prove himself to mankind.
I believe Satan is pretending to be the creator.
Satan is using the pagan idol named Allah to represent himself as the creator.

This explains why the five pillars of Islam is so important to Satan. In order to qualify for salvation, a believer in Islam is required to recite the creed that there is only one creator named Allah and that Muhammad is his messenger. Moreover it is also a requirement to pay homage by worshipping not once but five times a day to Allah in the Salat ritual prayers. It is also a requirement to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca to perform the ritual of obeisance to Allah, including the cutting of a blood covenant with Allah at least once in a lifetime.
The status of salvation of a believer in Allah is insecure. It is dependent on his effort to perform the rituals required by the five pillars of Islam.
On the other hand, I believe the true creator, El-Elyon does not need anyone to pay homage to Him. I believe that He remains almighty whether people worship Him or not. I believe my maker is absolutely holy and there is no way I can even come close to His holiness and achieve salvation by my own efforts.
It is only by His mercy in sending His only Son, Jesus, to redeem me that I am given a chance to have salvation. All I need to do is believe in Jesus as my savior.15 THE GOOD NEWS OF GRACE
I believe Jesus is the Son of El-Elyon. Once I believe in Jesus, I become His sibling, and El-Elyon becomes my father (Abba) and I receive and accept permanent and irrevocable right standing and salvation forever (Galatians 3:26-27).
Abba will send the Holy Spirit (Paraclete) to dwell within me and guide me to focus on Jesus in my decisions. The Holy Spirit will never leave me nor forsake me forever.
Abba will not insist that I worship Him five times a day nor will he require me to go on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem in order to maintain right standing with Him and to preserve my salvation.
I worship my maker because I am grateful for His mercy and grace for saving me even though I do not deserve to be saved (Romans 3:23).
I praise Him and pay homage to Him because I want to do so, not because I have to do so.
I believe I will never lose my status as the beloved of my Abba (Father) forever no matter what I do or don’t do after I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior (Romans 3:22).
