Sam Shamoun shows a Muslim they are following pagan practices... specifically kissing the black stone in the Kaaba in Mecca. They pray facing it and if able-bodied do a pilgrimage, marching around the Kaaba.

SURE…
YET Muslims do not get ALL the credit for EXALTING “OBJECTS” ….
* Remembering the Hebrews and Golden Calf.
* Observing Christians bowing down in Reverence before and kissing Statues and Rings, etc.
A TRUE Believer IN the Lord God Almighty, has FREELY and Faithfully Confessed his HEARTFUL Belief unto Gods Chosen ADVOCATE…Christ Jesus Himself….and thereafter…SHOULD….
FULLY, EXPRESSLY, KNOW;
The Spirit of his GOD dwells WITH-IN that man…..NOT IN man-made…relics, buildings, pictures, images, statues, rocks, earth, beads, carvings, tall bejeweled hats, long robes, jewelry, arts, blah, blah, blah… supposedly worthy of honor, praise, reverence, worship.
All A HOAX.

@Delp ~
All organized “religions” historically have some “over reaching, blending, mixing, controversial, aspects of mysticism, traditions, rituals, customs, etc.”
Seasons, plantings, reproducing, harvesting, have numerous parallels….
*. Literal Mankind
* Literal Animal-kind
* Plants-kind
* Mythology “made up” imaginary gods.
* Spirituality personal feelings
* Invisible Almighty Spirit God
ManKind in his natural self suffers from confusion of what he CAN NOT…
See, Hear, Smell, Touch, Taste…(otherwise) COMMUNICATE with.
It is NOT GOOD…torturous for man(kind) to BE ALONE.
FOR EXAMPLE: Prison, “solitary confinement”, is expressly intended to effect utter discomfort via lack of routine communication.)
FOR EXAMPLE: Elderly, self-imposed “loners”, adults, co-workers, kids who “exile” others, etc.
It is NOT GOOD…to be VOID of Rest.
* Another utter discomfort IS an OVERLOAD of “communication”… Continuous, non-stop Seeing depravity, Hearing whaling, Putrid Smelling, touching, tasting….etc. no reprieve.
POINT BEING…a Balance of GOOD.
POINT BEING…Human NEED (during ANY ERA of TIME) to have “SOMETHING” greater than “Faulty”manKIND to “RELY ON”…
And FOR “Faulty” manKIND…
THEY ARE WIRED…to WANT TO “SEE”…
“SOMETHING”… to VALIDATE … their RELIANCE to Trust their “Belief in A “something”…(whatever that belief in is)
A symbol, a statue, a rock, a drawing, a mist, a picture, a gem, a building, a monument, a pentagon, a tower, an altar, a garment, a headdress, a cross…. Whatever is widely, commonly known, that symbolizes their BELIEF…for themselves, and for others to recognize an individuals BELIEFS.
It becomes controversial … WHEN…the symbols themselves…BECOME the OBJECTS of Reverence, Holiness, Praise, Worship…Openly Observed by persons, of persons…
Bowing, kneeling, touching, kissing, blessing, elevating, speaking to, offering of trinkets, UNTO such symbols.
That “SYMBOLIC” OBJECT, no longer is a SYMBOLIC OBJECT, but rather “IS” their god.
* The Lord God Almighty, Spirit, creator AND maker IS Everywhere.
* And FOR SOME fortunate people, the SPIRIT of the Lord God Almighty IS:
“WITH” them….
* And FOR A FEW “VERY” fortunate people, The SPIRIT of the Lord God Almighty IS:
“WITH-IN” them.
^^ THEIR being “VERY” fortunate…is Expressly “VERY” fortunate…
BECAUSE…they ARE the “ONLY” persons DURING their bodily ALIVE, “life-time” “assuredly guaranteed”; The Lord God Almighty will “FOREVER BE WITH THEM”!
THEY…ARE NOT, subjects OF the Lord Gods disappointment, anger, jealously.
THEY…ARE NOT, subject TO the Lord Gods Tribulations, His Wrath, His Consequences of Separation From Him.
THEY ARE, the EXPRESS persons, appointed to be RAPTURED, Before the end of days Tribulations AND Wrath SENT DOWN…
FROM HEAVEN.
THEY ARE, summoned, BY the TRUMP, sounded BY the Servant of the Lord.
THEY RESPOND to the summoning TRUMP,
To RISE UP, to the clouds / air, ABOVE the Earth, TO MEET their Lord, WHO is Waiting IN the Clouds, IN the Air (Above the Earth) for their arrival.
Awe…what about all those REMAINING ON EARTH??
What ABOUT The MILLIONS of persons WHO Believe IN God…but just couldn’t BELIEVE…some guy, without a kingdom, without an army, without wealth….IS Gods Jesus, Gods Lamb, Gods Christ Messiah?
THEY suffer, portions of Tribulations called the 7 SEALS and the Wrath of the Lamb…
SOME continue UNBELIEF….and will suffer the Wrath of the Devil…During the 7 “TRUMPS” of the Tribulations sent from Heaven.
THEN they who Believe… suffer physical DEATH…
SOME, continue in UNBELIEF IN JESUS, in the Lamb, in the Christ Messiah of God…
They domiciled IN Jerusalem, are given TWO “HEBREW” witnesses, with power to PREACH the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to ANY interested IN Hearing….FOR 3.5 years.
SOME, continue in UNBELIEF IN the Lamb, IN Jesus, IN the Christ Messiah of God.
THEY ARE summoned to Mt ZION to Hear the testimony of the Lamb, Jesus, the Christ Messiah of God…..BY their own Hebrew ISRAEL Tribal Sealed ancestors…
SOME, continue in UNBELIEF IN the Lamb, IN Jesus, IN the Christ Messiah of God.
Where-ever IN the World they ARE domiciled A SINGLE HOLY ANGEL of God, SHALL PREACH the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST.
Through-out the TRIBULATIONS sent down from Heaven…individual persons…BASED ON THEIR BELIEFS or LACK THEREOF…
ARE EXPERIENCING…
Wrath of the Lamb
Wrath of the Devil
Wrath of God
EVERY INDIVIDUAL WHO…DURING the Tribulation Sent down from Heaven…
Heartfully Believes IN God…
Heartfully Comes INTO Belief “IN JESUS”…
SHALL BE “SAVED”.
SOME “shall be SAVED from PHYSICAL DEATH”…(and generationally, repopulate the Earth for 1,000 years…living, marrying, reproducing offspring, dying).
SOME “shall be SAVED ie. (soul saved, spirit quickened), Body Killed during the destruction upon the earth.
AND? WHAT ABOUT THEM ^^…??
ARE THEY…Christ’s Church Members? No.
No. Christ’s Church Members, have ALREADY been RISEN UP to the clouds, to the air, and are with their Lord.
During the tribulations and wrath send down from Heaven…Christ’s Church IS NOT PRESENT ON EARTH…
So…what, what, what ABOUT people ON EARTH DURING the TRIBULATION….WHO Believe IN God….WHO COME TO BELIEF “IN JESUS” ???
A MYSTERY?
OBVIOUSLY A Mystery to SOME people.
NOT a MYSTERY…unto men WHO pay attention to Gods Word…
** The Lord’s Holy Servant, Summons UP to the Lord, Christ’s Jesus Church..
1 Thes 4:
[16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
[17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
[18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
OTHER WORDS OF COMFORT…for those having to experience portions of the tribulations and wrath SENT down from Heaven…..WHO….
Come INTO BELIEF…”IN” God…”IN” Jesus…
1 Thes 4:
[14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
^ THOSE ARE Persons…NOT IN CHRIST…NOT members of Christ’s Church…
^ HAVE come into BELIEF…DURING the Tribulation …”IN” God…
IN JESUS
AND???
NOT a mystery…God will bring with Him!
Not a mystery…WHEN God will bring WITH HIM…IS AFTER the 1,000 year resign of CHRIST JESUS’ KINGDOM on Earth.
Not a mystery…God will Raise Up ALL … even the last minute (before their physical death)…believers IN God, IN Jesus … Because THE Lord already raised UP believers IN CHRIST!!
And FYI…God also raises UP those “WITHOUT” Him…for their judgement.
The Lord raises UP those IN Christ.
God raises UP those IN Jesus.
God raises UP those who have rejected, God, Christ, Jesus.
Those WHO DENY, WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHY Scripture expressly reveals … ARE accountable for their OWN denials.
There is NO “SECRET” Rapture.
The Rapture expressly APPLIES to those already Sanctifi-ED, “IN CHRIST”…and SHALL BE RAISED UP BY the power and authority OF the Lord.
The Resurrection(S) expressly APPLIES to God Raising UP Believers IN God, Believers IN Jesus, NON-Believers IN God, NON-Believers IN Jesus.
The already RAISED…are NOT RAISED “twice”…any more than the “SAV-ED” are saved “twice”.
@Delp…there will always be the unlearned, the ignorant, those without understanding, those who gaslight, and speak false claims for others, then disagree with what they claim for others…
Enjoy the Blessings and Comfort and Peace of Gods Truth and Understanding…Despite naysayers, prodding, ignorance and down right silly promotion God desires those made WHOLE to experience HIS WRATH and TRIBULATIONS…. Ridiculous.
God Bless you and yours,
