...And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this, Thy hand grenade, that with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits... in Thy mercy." And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu... [Whereupon the friar is urged, "skip ahead a bit, brother"]... And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being not in My sight, shall snuff it." Amen.

Section I\n\nAnti-Islamic people often use the following verses to justify the stereotype that Islam is a religion of violence and intolerance, which was spread by the sword. The explanations here were aided by Abdullah Yusuf Ali's commentary on the Holy Quran.\n\nSura 8.12 "Remember thy lord has inspired the angels with the message. Give firmness to the believers and instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers. Smite them above their necks and smite the fingertips of them."\n\nSura 9.5 "When the sacred months have passed, kill the idolaters whereever you find them."\n\nSura 47.4 "When you encounter the unbelievers, Strike off their heads. Untill you have made a wide slaughter among them tie up the remaining captives."\n\nSura 8 is about a BATTLE - the Battle of Badr - not just some daily affair. A battles take two side to occur. Are you under the impression that while these 'horrid' Muslims were fighting, the enemies were simply standing there like good little peaceful men?\n\nSura 47 was revealed during the first year of Hijrah when the Muslims were under *threat of extinction* by invasion from Makkah.\n\nSura 9 is interesting. Non-Muslims almost invariably quote verse 5 but leave out verse 4 and 6. Why? Because verse 4 says, "But the treatires are not dissolved with those Pagans with whom you have entered into alliance and who have you subsequently failed you in aught, nor aided anyone against you. So fulfill your engagements with them to the end of their term: for God Loves the righteous."\n\nAnd verse 6 says, "If one among the Pagans ask thee for asylum, grant it to him so that he may hear the Word of God; and then escort him to where he can be secure."\n\nSo basically what has been done above is:\n\n1. The background to each sura was shown. One cannot take a verse revealed for a battle and insist it is if for the daily affairs of Muslims.\n\n2. It was shown how Non-muslims who wish to attack Islam, conveniently leave out verses before and after their quoted verse. Above, I have shown only one of the many examples.\n\n \n\nSection II\n\nThis long list of verses from the Holy Quran and the Traditions of Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon him) show that Islam at it's core and at its source is a religion of peace. Terrorists who persecute innocent people because of their faith are not welcome - their use of Islam as a scapegoat, does not make Islam what they portray it to be.\n\n2:256 There is no compulsion in religion, for the right way is clearly from the wrong way. Whoever therefore rejects the forces of evil and believes in God, he has taken hold of a support most unfailing, which shall never give way, for God is All Hearing and Knowing.\n\n16:82 But if they turn away from you, (O Prophet remember that) your only duty is a clear delivery of the Message (entrusted to you).\n\n6:107 Yet if God had so willed, they would not have ascribed Divinity to aught besides him; hence, We have not made you their keeper, nor are you (of your own choice) a guardian over them.\n\n4:79, 80 (Say to everyone of them,) 'Whatever good betides you is from God and whatever evil betides you is from your own self and that We have (O Prophet) sent you to mankind only as a messenger and all sufficing is God as witness. Whoso obeys the Messenger, he indeed obeys God. And for those who turn away, We have not sent you as a keeper."\n\n11:28 (Noah to his people) He (Noah) said "O my people! think over it! If 1 act upon a clear direction from my Lord who has bestowed on me from Himself the Merciful talent of seeing the right way, a way which you cannot see for yourself, does it follow that we can force you to take the right path when you definitely decline to take it?\n\n17:53, 54 And tell my servants that they should speak in a most kindly manner (unto those who do not share their beliefs). Verily, Satan is always ready to stir up discord between men; for verily; Sat

The Prophet now expands his subject, and shows that when the people repented, the fruits of repentance would openly appear. One fruit he records, and that is, that they would then begin to worship God purely, all superstitions being abolished. It shall be, he says, in that day that thou shalt call me, My husband; and he mentions the word, husband, to show to the people, that after having been corrected, they would be mindful of the covenant which God had made with them; and in that covenant, as stated before, there was the condition of a mutual engagement.\n\nWe hence see what the Prophet means: he tells us that the people would then be no more given to superstitions as before, but on the contrary would be mindful of God's covenant, and would continue sincere and true to their conjugal vow. Hence, thou shalt call me, My husband; that is, "Thou shalt know what I am to thee, that I am joined to thee by a sacred and inviolable marriage." And thou shalt not call me, My Baal; that is, "Thou shalt not give me a false and heathenish name:" for the word, Baal, as I have said before, was everywhere in every one's mouth. But the next verse must be added --

I did a bunch of searches on google and on bartleby.com (an excellent reference site that has an entire section on verse). the closest thing I could find was this passage from the bible: \n\nNUMBER:1316\nQUOTATION:Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.\nATTRIBUTION:Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Matthew, 6:19-21.\n \nDo you remember where you saw or heard the poem? That might help a bit.

This is what he said:\nBe not that far from me, for trouble is near; haste Thee to help me. \nBlessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight. \nMy goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. \nO my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.\n\nPsalm 25 is a Prayer for Protection, Guidance and Pardon.\n\nThe Psalter is the prayerbook of the people of God. The tradition of incorporating the Psalter in the teaching and life and worship of the primitive community was maintained in the centuries following the apostolic period and continued to provide a major influence upon the thought and spirituality of Christians throughout patristic times. People of all faith have referred to this book.  Interestingly enough, my maiden name is Salter!

:}\nWhile this chapters addresses end times the admonition not to trust in man is valid for all times;\nPsalms 146:3-5 adds light.\n"3.  Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.\n4  His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.\n5Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:"\n\nMan is no more reliable or steadfast than the air be breathes, here now and soon passed.\nOnly the Lord can be our refuge,\n\nremember that Bro.Eli Soriano is also a man, use his help but keep trust in the Lord.

That's from Matthew 26:52:\n\n52 But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword."\n\nPeace.

Roman chapter 1\n001:026  For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:\n001:027 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

1 \n1 If I speak in human and angelic tongues 2 but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal. \n2 \nAnd if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing. \n3 \nIf I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing. \n4 \n3 Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated, \n5 \nit is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, \n6 \nit does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. \n7 \nIt bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. \n8 \n4 Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing. \n9 \nFor we know partially and we prophesy partially, \n10 \nbut when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. \n11 \nWhen I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things. \n12 \nAt present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face. At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known. \n13 \n5 So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love. \nTable of Contents  Previous Chapter  Next Chapter\nFootnotes\n1 [1-13] This chapter involves a shift of perspective and a new point. All or part of the material may once have been an independent piece in the style of Hellenistic eulogies of virtues, but it is now integrated, by editing, into the context of 1 Cor 12-14 (cf the reference to tongues and prophecy) and into the letter as a whole (cf the references to knowledge and to behavior). The function of 1 Cor 13 within the discussion of spiritual gifts is to relativize all the charisms by contrasting them with the more basic, pervasive, and enduring value that gives them their purpose and their effectiveness. The rhetoric of this chapter is striking.\n\n2 [1-3] An inventory of gifts, arranged in careful gradation: neither tongues (on the lowest rung), nor prophecy, knowledge, or faith, nor even self-sacrifice has value unless informed by love. \n\n3 [4-7] This paragraph is developed by personification and enumeration, defining love by what it does or does not do. The Greek contains fifteen verbs; it is natural to translate many of them by adjectives in English.\n\n4 [8-13] The final paragraph announces its topic, Love never fails (1 Cor 13:8), then develops the permanence of love in contrast to the charisms (1 Cor 13:9-12), and finally asserts love's superiority even over the other "theological virtues" (1 Cor 13:13).\n\n5 [13] In speaking of love, Paul is led by spontaneous association to mention faith and hope as well. They are already a well-known triad (cf 1 Thes 1:3), three interrelated (cf 1 Cor 13:7) features of Christian life, more fundamental than any particular charism. The greatest . . . is love: love is operative even within the other members of the triad (7), so that it has a certain primacy among them. Or, if the perspective is temporal, love will remain (cf "never fails," 1 Cor 13:8) even when faith has yielded to sight and hope to possession.

10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is NOT against flesh and blood, BUT against the rulers, the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
