SPEAKER_01: I greet you one more time in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
SPEAKER_01: This is the Preaching of the Cross Radio Broadcast.
SPEAKER_01: We're happy that you're with us today.
SPEAKER_01: Hope you can stay with us for the next half an hour.
SPEAKER_01: We began six broadcasts ago giving you an overview of the Islamic religion.
SPEAKER_01: We have looked at their history, we have looked at the uh personal life of Muhammad, we have considered the uh the briefly the history of the movement, the spreading of their beliefs by sword, bloodshed, uh, warfare, and death in Allah's name.
SPEAKER_01: We have uh considered briefly the Quran, not in any great detail, but just all of this just overview material, and then we've talked about the uh notion of uh heaven or paradise that is held by the Mohammedans.
SPEAKER_01: On the program today, we're going to move into the area of um of uh hell and judgment as viewed by the Islamic religion and the Islamic people.
SPEAKER_01: But I want to try and explain something to you before we go too far today, uh see if I can give you uh a little better perspective on the reason for some of the recent uh bloodshed, murder, killing, and plunder uh that has been waged by the Muslim people, uh, primarily against uh those in the Western world.
SPEAKER_01: Of course, we understand the the uh bombings and the killings uh of the Jews in uh the nation of Israel.
SPEAKER_01: We we we know that uh warfare has been going on since the days of of uh Ishmael and Isaac, we understand that.
SPEAKER_01: But uh these recent terror attacks against uh Western entities and powers and so forth, let me let me try to give you a a perspective.
SPEAKER_01: Uh this is not an American perspective, this is not a flag-waving uh percep uh uh per perception uh or perspective, so it's probably going to upset uh those of you who believe that uh the good old U.S.
SPEAKER_01: of A can do no wrong, but I I'm a a citizen of heaven.
SPEAKER_01: I'm here as an ambassador.
SPEAKER_01: Uh I don't live here, I don't belong here.
SPEAKER_01: It's not this world is not my home.
SPEAKER_01: I'm just passing through and trying to represent the Lord Jesus Christ in the meantime.
SPEAKER_01: I want you to picture, if you will, in your mind, I want you to picture, try to imagine that Florida, the state of Florida, is a Christian state.
SPEAKER_01: Now, I mean or I mean a real Christian state.
SPEAKER_01: By that I mean Florida goes by, lives by the people who reside in Florida.
SPEAKER_01: Do what the Bible says.
SPEAKER_01: Now I've got to help you with this, because this is the United States of America, and we are we are clueless when it comes to Christianity.
SPEAKER_01: We've got people attending fundamental church, never mind liberal church, we've got people attending fundamental churches in the United States.
SPEAKER_01: They watch filth on TV, they watch filth on videos, they watch filth in the movie house, they lie, they don't pay their bills on time, they don't pay their bills in full, they don't dress the way God would have them to dress, they frequent places of worldly amusement and entertainment, their lovers or pleasure more than lovers of God, they commit adultery, they fornicate, they view pornography on the internet, and all the while profess themselves to be Christians.
SPEAKER_01: Now I'm not talking about that.
SPEAKER_01: I'm not talking about a bunch of people that say they're Christians and goes to church.
SPEAKER_01: I said I want you to picture in your mind the state of Florida as a Christian nation, a Christian state, which means adultery is forbidden and penalized by death or imprisonment.
SPEAKER_01: Rapists are killed, murderers are killed, thieves are dealt with in such a way as to keep them from ever stealing again.
SPEAKER_01: You understand?
SPEAKER_01: I I want you to picture in your mind a state that forbids the importation, sale, and distribution of perverted music, of perverted entertainment, of perverted TV programs and movies.
SPEAKER_01: I want you to okay, picture that in your mind now.
SPEAKER_01: Some people from New York or California or Washington come to Florida and say to the ten or twelve most powerful men in that state, in that that nation state, we want oranges.
SPEAKER_01: We want orange juice, and we will make you very, very wealthy if you sell us oranges and orange juice.
SPEAKER_01: And so the deal is is made, and oranges and orange juice begin to flow out of Florida into New York, California, and Washington, and in return, a great deal of money, great vast amounts of money begin to flow into the pockets of the ten or twelve most powerful men in Florida.
SPEAKER_01: Now, as time goes on, the men who control the orange groves in Florida decide we want more money.
SPEAKER_01: And the people in New York and Washington and California decide we want more money.
SPEAKER_01: And so a deal is made.
SPEAKER_01: We'll give you more money for your oranges and orange juice, say the people in New York, California, and Washington.
SPEAKER_01: But in return, we want you to open your markets to our filthy movies, our filthy TV shows, our filthy music, our filthy clothes, and our filthy morals.
SPEAKER_01: So these ten or twelve people say, Well, I want more money, I like money, I'm enjoying money, this money's uh uh giving me access to a little power and prestige and things that I never uh thought would be mine, and so they strike the deal.
SPEAKER_01: Suddenly, those true Christians who really love God, living in the state of Florida, begin to look around and say, wait a minute.
SPEAKER_01: Our young people are being corrupted by this filth that's coming in from New York, California, and Washington.
SPEAKER_01: Our families are being degraded and degenerated by this filth that's coming in from New York, California, and Washington.
SPEAKER_01: Uh our our culture is being destroyed by this garbage that's coming in from New York, California, and Washington, and they aren't happy about it.
SPEAKER_01: Now, I want you to understand that throughout the Middle East, I I listen, I don't agree with the Muslim religion, it's not my religion.
SPEAKER_01: But you have to understand that a group of people who have built a nation or a state upon a system of morality that which has uh been derived from the Quran, when they see a handful of rich people at the top, trade oil for money, and then in order to get more money, allow the introduction of the filthy movies from the United States, and the filthy TV shows from the United States, and the filthy music from the United States, and the filthy approach to marriage and the family and morality from the United States, when they see that being introduced into their culture, and when they see that threaten the ruin of the moral base and stability of their nation, you must expect some form of retaliation.
SPEAKER_01: Now, i i i if the religion teaches death to infidels in God's name, then what form of retaliation would you expect for those who are viewed as waging war upon their culture, their families, and their children?
SPEAKER_01: So you have to understand that what these people despise about America is not our liberty, it's not our freedom, it's not our capitalism, it's our depraved and decadent way of living.
SPEAKER_01: Now I'm sorry if that offends you, but that's just the way it is.
SPEAKER_01: Matter of fact, it offends God.
SPEAKER_01: Never mind offending Arabs and Muslims in the Middle East, it offends God.
SPEAKER_01: God despises this abortion, God despises this liquor traffic, God despises this uh mad love of pleasure, God despises this sodomy and lesbianism, God despises this adultery and fornication, God despises this nakedness and nudity.
SPEAKER_01: God's against it.
SPEAKER_01: God's dead set against it.
SPEAKER_01: And you wait till you wait till he launches his terror attack.
SPEAKER_01: You hadn't seen anything yet.
SPEAKER_01: But so anyway, that's that's some of the background.
SPEAKER_01: That's some of the reason why these aren't uh these aren't random acts of violence against people because they are they are free and people in other parts of the world resent our freedom.
SPEAKER_01: Uh you get that listening to secular, unsaved drunkards and wife swappers and egomaniacs on conservative talk radio.
SPEAKER_01: You won't get that from the Word of God.
SPEAKER_01: These people don't hate us because we're free.
SPEAKER_01: They hate us because we're we're dumping our sewers into their nation.
SPEAKER_01: And our sewers run from Hollywood, New York, and Washington.
SPEAKER_01: All right, what about the Muslim view of hell?
SPEAKER_01: The Muhammadan religion believes that on the day of judgment the people are separated into two groups: the condemned on the left side and the saved on the right.
SPEAKER_01: Everyone, however, must pass over Al-Sirat, S-I-R-A-T, which is a narrow bridge which lies directly over the flaming pit of hell.
SPEAKER_01: The bridge is no wider than the blade of a knife, and it is of exceeding great sharpness.
SPEAKER_01: On each side are briars and thorns, which prevent escape or turning back.
SPEAKER_01: All the saved who were predestinated for heaven will be borne across swifter than lightning, but those that were predestinated to be damned shall stumble in the darkness and fall directly into the pit of hell.
SPEAKER_01: This is uh this is Calvin with spice.
SPEAKER_01: A little bit more exciting than the dull, boring decrees of Calvin borrowed from Jerome.
SPEAKER_01: The righteous on entering will be seated at a great banquet, and after feasting to their heart's content on every good thing, each will be shown to his permanent mansion or place of abode.
SPEAKER_01: Just as there are seven heavens, the Muhammadan also believes that there are seven levels of hell.
SPEAKER_01: The first of these levels is called Gehenna.
SPEAKER_01: Where have you heard that before?
SPEAKER_01: That's the old uh Jehovah's Witness Dodge for the Bible hell.
SPEAKER_01: The first hell of the Muhammadan is called Gehenna.
SPEAKER_01: It is a faithful region where the branches of the trees are snakes, and the fruit is the heads of demons.
SPEAKER_01: It is the home of the atheist and the infidel.
SPEAKER_01: From this hell, after thousands of years of torment, it is possible that release may come through pardon, or some uh Muslims uh believe and claim by annihilation.
SPEAKER_01: So it's uh uh several thousand years of torment, and then you might get out for time served or for good behavior.
SPEAKER_01: The second hell is called the hell of flaming fire.
SPEAKER_01: This second hell is the eternal abode of Jews.
SPEAKER_01: When have you heard the Muslim cleric on the newscast talk about that?
SPEAKER_01: The second hell of the Muslim religion is the hell of flaming fire.
SPEAKER_01: It is the eternal torment of the Jews.
SPEAKER_01: How's that for one great universal world brotherhood?
SPEAKER_01: How's that for we all worship one God?
SPEAKER_01: How's that for we just believe in all people worshiping God in their own way and stop it?
SPEAKER_01: Stop the nonsense.
SPEAKER_01: The third hell is called the Hell of Raging Fire.
SPEAKER_01: Uh it's uh it splits uh everything in this abode.
SPEAKER_01: It is the uh i i it's a division, it's a uh a two-sided third hell.
SPEAKER_01: It's the abode of the Brahmins and the Christians.
SPEAKER_01: Did you get that?
SPEAKER_01: Hey, hey, Mr.
SPEAKER_01: Liberal Minister with with jello for a backbone and whipped cream for brains.
SPEAKER_01: Next time you're having that joint prayer service, and you and that uh that representative of the Islamic faith are saying your joint prayers together for the TV cameras and for the newspaper reporter.
SPEAKER_01: Why don't you ask him about the third hell of raging fire?
SPEAKER_01: Just say, uh, I understand you guys uh believe in uh seven hells, seven levels of hell, is that right?
SPEAKER_01: Tell me about the third one.
SPEAKER_01: The third level of hell in the Muslim religion is the eternal abode of the Christians.
SPEAKER_01: The fourth hell is called the blaze.
SPEAKER_01: This is where the Sabeans will burn for eternity.
SPEAKER_01: The fifth hell is called the scorching fire.
SPEAKER_01: This is where the magicians and uh numerous types of infidels go.
SPEAKER_01: The sixth hell is called the fierce fire, it's the abode of the idolaters, so that ought to make you Roman Catholics unhappy.
SPEAKER_01: The Muslims are going to put you in the sixth hell.
SPEAKER_01: And then the seventh hell is called the Abyss, and this is where the hypocrites are who profess some religion but believe none.
SPEAKER_01: The terrible angel that provide presides over this region, this seventh hell, is called Fabak, T-H-A-B-E-C-K, or the executioner.
SPEAKER_01: Hell is a reward for the outrageous to tarry in for ages.
SPEAKER_01: They will not taste therein cool air, they will have nothing to drink, they will have boiling water and filth as their fit reward.
SPEAKER_01: When they shall be cast therein, they shall hear its roaring as it boils.
SPEAKER_01: Whenever a troop of them shall be thrown in, its guardians shall ask them, Did not a warner come to you?
SPEAKER_01: They shall say, Yes, a warner came to us.
SPEAKER_01: Had we but listened or had sense, we would not have been among the fellows of the blaze.
SPEAKER_01: Now, herein lies one of the great flaws and fallacies of Calvinism or Mohammedanism or Jerome's brand of Romanism.
SPEAKER_01: Why would you be told that you are in hell, one of the seven levels of Muhammadan hell, for not heeding the voice of the warner when Muhammad taught that you were predetermined to end up in that hell?
SPEAKER_01: What good would a warner or a warner's voice have done you if you were predetermined to end up in that place of fire and torment?
SPEAKER_01: What good would it do you to have heeded the voice of a warner if you were predetermined not to heed the voice?
SPEAKER_01: I've never understood why people who teach fatalism can't get it straight.
SPEAKER_01: I don't believe in fatalism, I don't believe in Calvinism, but if I did, if I did, I'd have sense enough to figure out that you can't blame people for going to hell who didn't have a chance to go to heaven.
SPEAKER_01: And that you can't say someone is in hell because of their own choice or their own fault when they were predetermined to go there.
SPEAKER_01: You've got to blame God in the Calvinist system, you've got to blame Allah in the Muhammadan system, you can't blame the poor wretch that was created to burn because he's burning.
SPEAKER_01: Silly, silly, silly.
SPEAKER_01: As for the unbelievers, says the Quran, their wealth shall not profit them at all, neither their children against God.
SPEAKER_01: They shall be companions of hellfire, they shall continue therein forever.
SPEAKER_01: The likeness of that which they lay out in this present life is as a wind wherein is a scorching cold.
SPEAKER_01: It falleth on the standing corn of those men who have injured their souls and destroyeth it.
SPEAKER_01: And God dealeth not unjustly with them, but they injure their own souls.
SPEAKER_01: But unto those who treasure up gold and silver and employ it not for the advancement of God's true religion, that is, they don't pay the families of suicide bombers, and uh these these people denounce a grievous punishment.
SPEAKER_01: On the day of judgment, their treasures shall be intensely heated in the fire of hell, and their foreheads and their sides and their backs shall be stigmatized therewith, and their tormentors shall say, This is what ye have treasured up for your souls.
SPEAKER_01: Taste therefore that which ye have treasured up.
SPEAKER_01: And they who believe not shall have garments of fire fitted unto them, boiling water shall be poured on their heads, their bowels shall be dissolved thereby, and also their skins, and they shall be beaten with maces of iron.
SPEAKER_01: So often as they shall endeavor to get out of hell because of the anguish of their torments, they shall be dragged back into the same, and their tormentors shall say unto them, Taste ye the pain of burning.
SPEAKER_01: The Quran goes on to state that God shall say, Cast into hell every unbeliever and perverse person, and every one who forbade good, and every transgressor and doubter of thee faith, who set up another God with a true God, and cast him into a grievous torment.
SPEAKER_01: Now that's why all you Christians are going to end up in hell according to the Mohammedans.
SPEAKER_01: That's why all Jews will end up in hell according to the Muhammadans, because they set up another God other than the true God.
SPEAKER_01: And the companions of the left hand.
SPEAKER_01: He said, Now, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
SPEAKER_01: Don't we all worship one God?
SPEAKER_01: We just call him by different names.
SPEAKER_01: No.
SPEAKER_01: My God, Hebrews chapter 1, is Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_01: My God, John chapter 2, is Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_01: My God, 1 John 5, 7, is Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_01: My God, John chapter 14, is Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_01: My God, John chapter 1, Colossians chapter 1, is Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_01: My God, Isaiah chapter 9, Genesis 1, Genesis 3, is Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_01: My God.
SPEAKER_01: Philippians chapter number 2 is Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_01: My God, Titus chapter 1, Titus chapter 2, Titus chapter 3, is Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_01: That's not the God of the Muslim religion.
SPEAKER_01: The Quran goes on to say, the companions of the left hand shall dwell amidst burning winds and scalding water, under the shade of black smoke, neither cool nor agreeable.
SPEAKER_01: For they enjoyed the pleasures of life before this while on earth, and obstinately persisted in a heinous wickedness.
SPEAKER_01: Then ye, O men who have erred and denied the resurrection as a falsehood, shall surely eat of the fruit of the tree of Al Zakum, and shall fill your bellies therewith, and ye shall drink thereon boiling water, and ye shall drink as the thirsty camel drinketh.
SPEAKER_01: Verily, those who disbelieve in our signs, we will broil them with fire.
SPEAKER_01: Whenever their skins are well done, then we shall change them for other skins, that they too may taste torment.
SPEAKER_01: This shall be your entertainment on the day of judgment.
SPEAKER_01: Now those are the warnings.
SPEAKER_01: They're stern warnings indeed.
SPEAKER_01: I listen, I don't find any faults with the Muslim religion holding out damnation, punishment, and torment for unbelievers.
SPEAKER_01: None whatsoever.
SPEAKER_01: I'm not criticizing them for that.
SPEAKER_01: I am a Christian.
SPEAKER_01: My Bible is full of warnings of hellfire, damnation, burning, and conscious torment and weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth for unbelievers.
SPEAKER_01: I am simply pointing out to you that according to the Christian faith and the Holy Bible, the people who end up in hell are those who did not put their faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_01: According to the Muslim religion, the people who end up in hell are those who did not put their faith and trust in Allah and the Prophet Muhammad.
SPEAKER_01: Now, the Muslim religion is entitled to teach their brand and version of hell, and they're entitled to teach who it is that ends up in their brand and version of hell according to their Prophet Muhammad.
SPEAKER_01: However, no one of honesty and integrity is entitled to say the two religions are basically the same and can peacefully coexist because they cannot.
SPEAKER_01: And so you've got to choose.
SPEAKER_01: You've got to make a choice.
SPEAKER_01: Do I believe Muhammad?
SPEAKER_01: Or do I believe Jesus Christ?
SPEAKER_01: Do I believe the Quran?
SPEAKER_01: Or do I believe the Bible?
SPEAKER_01: You've got to choose between the two.
SPEAKER_01: You can't pick both.
SPEAKER_01: Because they point at each other and say, and say, that group, those people, those believers are going to hell to burn forever.
SPEAKER_01: Now, that's what the Bible says about those that don't believe on Jesus.
SPEAKER_01: That's what the Quran says about those that don't believe in Allah and Muhammad.
SPEAKER_01: So you've got to pick one.
SPEAKER_01: Well, what are we to do?
SPEAKER_01: Well, the Holy Bible has hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of prophecies given centuries before their fulfillment, and every one of them was fulfilled to the letter.
SPEAKER_01: Not one such prophecy in the Quran.
SPEAKER_01: And Muhammad died and was buried.
SPEAKER_01: End of story.
SPEAKER_01: Jesus died and was buried and rose again, showed himself alive by many infallible proofs to as many as 500 men at one time, and then as eyewitnesses beheld ascended up into heaven alive from the dead.
SPEAKER_01: So I'm picking Jesus.
SPEAKER_01: Now you can go with Muhammad if you want to.
SPEAKER_01: You can go with Islam if you want to.
SPEAKER_01: Help yourself.
SPEAKER_01: But I'm going with the one that died, was buried, and rose again because I'm going to die.
SPEAKER_01: I'm facing death.
SPEAKER_01: You're facing death, my friend, and I want someone with a power greater than death.
SPEAKER_01: And that someone is Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_01: That power is Jesus Christ.
SPEAKER_01: So my trust, my confidence, my faith, and hope is in Jesus Christ the Lord.
SPEAKER_01: The Bible says, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.
SPEAKER_01: I believe that.
SPEAKER_01: With all my heart, I believe it.
SPEAKER_01: This is the preaching of the Cross Radio broadcast.
SPEAKER_01: If you'd like a copy of this series on Islam, an overview of Islam.
SPEAKER_01: I'm not sure exactly what to call it, but if you just write and give us the dates of these programs and say, I want the series on Islam, we will send it to you.
SPEAKER_01: It's going to run probably five cassette tapes.
SPEAKER_01: You know exactly what that costs.
SPEAKER_01: If you want to help us with it, that's fine.
SPEAKER_01: We're not asking for it.
SPEAKER_01: We're not going to charge you.
SPEAKER_01: We're not going to require it.
SPEAKER_01: As long as God provides, we will send these materials to those of you that are interested.
SPEAKER_01: The announcer will be on in just a moment to let you know how you can contact us and tell you when we'll be on this radio station once again.
