The Art Of Erasing

You might be confused on the whole title of this post but one thing it definitely has to do with is Iraq. Iraq has demonstrated the art of erasing almost flawlessly. I just would never understand how a country would want to eradicate all aspects of Christ, all aspects of history. I just would never understand how president Obama pushed gay rights' on anti-gay Africa yet won't push religious freedom in Iraq. I just won't understand how the pope has access to $200,000,000 annually yet all he says is let's pray for our Christian brothers and sisters. Does that even make sense? I'm tired of nobody knowing what's going on. Is it not our duty as American citizen or just citizens in general be aware and well informed on what is going on around us?!?!?!? It's sickening knowing that this is happening to other Christians yet here in America the Christians have gotten comfortable and compromising enough to not fight for what's right. Not even just Christians but citizens everywhere!!!! Have we gotten so comfortable and I guess you can say arrogant that we've turned a blind

eye to what is going in foreign countries? There are so many questions in my head that are still unanswered and it's not a good feeling. Yes your prayers are truly needed but what about finances, shelters, true God-given support!!!!! HELLOOO PEOPPLEEE!!!!!!!!! THERE ARE MANY DYING FOR SOMETHING 

YOU WOULDN'T EVEN DIE FOR!!!!!!!!!! I don't even think I would!!! 

Could you imagine the thoughts, the fear of actually dying for your beliefs? I'm pretty sure if most of us were faced with the option to Convert or to Die, majority will convert to save their own head. Look to Daniel 3:22  Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego  did not bow to the idol yet stayed loyal to God. If they can form an uprising to uproot Iraqi Christians surely we can lead an uprising ourselves.

How awesome is it to be able to go home to your wife?

 Aren't you blessed that you haven't been killed for being a Christian? 





At least your child has not been killed for being a Christian.

How bad do we really have it as Christians in America?

BAGHDAD IRAQ-As I was scrolling through the Yahoo! homepage I seen something that caught my eye, something that is a chilling reminder of how great I have it here being a Christian in America. Islamic militants have been instilling fear into Christians in Iraq.On Thursday via loud speakers Christians were told bluntly to give up Jesus Christ and convert to Islam and pay a religion levy, or death. Thousands chose to fled abandoning centuries worth of Christian history behind like the Chaldean, Assyrian and Armenian churches. I wish I knew about this sooner than I did. Iraq had about 1 million Christians in 2003 it is said that the percentage of Christians dropped as much as 50%. It is believed that around 450,000 Christians are still standing. This makes me want to scream at the top of my lungs "Reverend Al Sharpton I understand you being out spoken and controversial for African American injustice and civil rights but what about doing the same for Jesus Christ?"

"When the Islamic State people took over Mosul weeks ago, they were nice to us at first and they used to knock our door and tell us that they mean no harm to the Christians in Mosul and they even gave us a mobile number just in case we are offended by anybody," Sahir Yahya, a Christian and government employee from Mosul, said Saturday. "This changed two days ago. The Islamic State people revealed their true savage nature and intention." 

Just 3 hours ago MSNBC posted about how Iraq is going into a downward spiral of chaos and destruction... Let me just stop there and insert a little side note... I want to know how many Americans know about what is happening around them and how many American Christians are praying for our Iraqi brothers and sisters?Neighborhoods are being ghettoized AND sealed off!!!! Is it just me or is it a flashback to the Holocaust except way quicker and with out some other factors too but too many close ones as well. So as brothers and sisters in Christ lets lift our Iraqi brothers and sisters in prayer.

The side notes are talking about the bombings that killed 27 people and why I put "Strict laws based off ideals"  it's because of the Islamic terrorist/militia covering advertisements with women faces on them.
