Eye On Zion Media Presents Under The Prayer Shawl

Answers to a Brief Introduction to the

Muslim Faith

By; Dan’el Fraley

An inmate in the Alabama prison system, sent me information circulating around the prison. He has converted from Christianity to Islam and is doing his best to persuade me to do the same. Below is my answer;

I am going to do my best to express to you the reason you will never change my mind on whom I serve, and in who I place my faith. “I AM, the Way the Truth and the Light, and no one comes to the Father but through Me!”

These words were spoken by HaShem/El’Elion/El’Shadi/Adoni/God, in His fleshly (born of water and of woman, the only begotten from the Will of God.), body, becoming our “kinsman Redeemer” (read the book of Ruth) so He could redeem mankind from the curse placed on him after the fall in the “Garden of Eden”. The cures being, that God would grant them the wish to see what Good and Evil are all about and cast them out into a world influenced by both.

I pray. as I begin to respond to the article mentioned above, may the Holy Spirit of God give me the words to save my beloved brother the imprisonment of a false teaching so he may inter into the “Sabbath Rest’ and not be eternally separated from Your Love as he has been separated from society here in this world. Thank you most high God and creator of all things, Father, you told us there is only one way to redemption and there is only one path to your fellowship and that is through the CROSS, Amen.

1. In Judaism, Christianity and Islam, there is only one God, (In Christianity, the term “trinity” is a pagan reference given through Catholicism and should be referred to as the “Tri-unity” of God) and yes, many prophets. God called Abram out of pagan idol worship (Chaldeans in the city of Ur) and made a covenant with him. God changed his name to Abraham (father of many) and promised him a son. Sarah, trying to help God out (because it had been 25 years sense the promise) sent Hagar into Abraham and Hagar, not Sarah (in whom the seed had to come, because she was the receptacle of the promise along with Abraham, not to mention the miracle of old age births as a sign through all the patriarchs) gave birth to Ishmael. As a sign of the covenant (after Ishmael’s birth), God ordered him, Ishmael and all his servants to be circumcised. The seed of promise had to come through the shed blood of the circumcision, and then came Isaac, born from Sarah, to be the line in witch the Messiah would come.

1. continued; Mu-hammed, was born and raised in paganism just as Abraham was, but the promised one/Yeshua/God the Redeemer had already come. Mu-hammed, received his vision in a dark place (a cave, which is also an unclean place, good only for burial), not born of light, under the influence of an opiate (common drug used in that day, read “Satanic Letters” by; Simon Roshti, who is in hiding for blaspheming Mu-hammed and has a death sentence place on his head. By the way, only God and His spirit are high enough to be blasphemed.) and gets advice from a woman who said he had been given this vision from God and he must be a prophet. He even doubted himself and thought he was being possessed by a demon (I think he was right about that, for God leaves no doubt of His revelations).Cookie, you have done drugs before and know they effect ones spiritual thinking. Also Muhammed, can not be the last prophet of God, for Joel 2:28 tells us that in the last days “I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and daughters shall prophesy…………..”, read all of Joel 2.

   Second paragraph Submitting; Love, brings me to the foot of the cross not forced submission. Messiah’s Grace does not force me into works so I can be loved “Lest I boast” . We desire to serve God and our fellow man, because we love Him, not because we fear His wrath.

   Third paragraph called Muslims; Islam, in the middle east is where it all started, would not accept your interpretation, and say you were not true believers. They can not even agree with each other. If they did not collectively hate Israel and the greater Satan of the USA, they would kill each other. Now you are saying in your mind, “We are not a radical Islamist, we follow a different form of Islam”, but I say…..look a the fruit that is produced.

Going into #2

I admit I do not know about all these factions of followers of Muhammed, but he was not the final prophet of God (Joel 2:28). In fact he was never called by the God of Israel (Abraham, Isaac & Jacob), he was called by the “beast” spoken of in the book of Revelations that will come against regathered Israel in the time of Jacob’s trouble/Tribulation Period. What other religion uses swords to cut off heads of those who will not submit spoken of in the book of Revelations?

The promise/covenant, God, made with Abraham was to come from Sarah as well as Abraham. Ishmael came from only Abraham, and his seed was not planted through the circumcision covenant. Isaac, was.

Islam is like all other religions of the world that have a “Work Base Faith”, only God manifesting into flesh, to become our “Kinsman Redeemer”, can give us grace/unwarranted favor and open the LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE in the “Day of Judgment”. He took on the judgment we deserved if only we accept the gift of His Grace. All of the many hundreds of prophesies about the coming Messiah in the TaNaKh/Old Testament Christ fulfilled or will fulfill. There are no winged horses in the Scriptures that carry prophets around. The Seraphim (special angles designed to carry the throne) carry God’s throne around.

Yeshua taught in parables, so I will try and do the same;

On a very cold day, a farmer noticed sparrows at his back door trying to stay warm by the heat escaping from under the glass/screen door. He felt sorry for them, and went out through the front door, around the house and opened the barn door so that the birds could find shelter there. Going back into the house and into the kitchen, he watched to see if the sparrows would go into the barn, they did not. He went out and around the house again, this time with bread crumbs to entice the birds towards the barn. He got too close and scared them away. He came back into the house and thought in his mind “If only I could become one of them, I could make them understand I was only trying to save them.” He instantly had a revelation, that is what God did…He became one of us.

He had to be “Born of Water” from a woman’s womb to become one of us. All religions of the world are trying to reach what they conceive as God, but they are all feeble attempts based on customs of man. God got my attention when He got up on the cross willingly to suffer what I deserved.

1. second paragraph;

   Transgression of Torah/first five books of Old Testament, is sin. Muslims, Follow the ancient Laws of Torah, but like Christians, they “cherry pick” what they think is viable to their beliefs and say that the words were changed by ancient Rabbis or the New Testament teachings have done away with the “Law”. Nether is right, the “Law” given on Mt. Sinai, was a wedding contract that was broken by the adulterous “chosen” and offered to the “Lost Tribes” gentiles in the form of grace through Messiah. All those who believe in El/God/etc. yes, must be a person of integrity not to offend the Creator. The problem is that tradition gets in the way of what is truly taught by the living God. All mankind/Ben Adom/sons of Adam, are His children and He loves them equally.

   He did not appoint any particular people to slaughter others who do not believe the same, except those possessing His promised land of Israel who were idol worshipers. According to scriptures of old, the land the Israelites went into to posses, was God’s land and as long as the people dwelling there were righteous, and they remained loyal to Him, they could live there. But, if they went whoring with other gods, they would be cast out. They did whore around with false gods and were cast out into the gentile nations, but God did not forget them (Book of Hosea). The ancient prophets told of a day the Israelites would return to there land after being driven out and repossess it to the glory of HaShem/God. That day came in 1948, “a nation born in a day”, and Islam is going to have to accept this or deal with the consequences of God’s wrath. In 1948, Jews from all the surrounding Arab nations fled into the new homeland. They numbered over 600,000 people leaving all their land and homes to the Arabs. Did the surrounding Arab nations offer these places displaced by Jews to the so called Palestinians? No, Palestine was already given to the Jews by England, but the UN fought the decision. The land belonged to England because they drove out the Ottoman Turks in WWI. Palestinians are Saudi-Arabians or Edomites (decedents of Esau),who moved into Israel and Trans-Jordan for jobs offered them by the booming influx of Jewish emigrants fleeing persecution of Europa and Russia (Hitler and Stalin). Enough of History, let me get back to the point of answering Islam.

   2.) Paragraph three;

   Praying-Christ did not bind us to scheduled prayers, He said “Be in constant prayer” as if you were talking to a friend next to you. There is nothing wrong with praying five times a day, but God never told us to use 33 beads in our hands, or carry a prayer rug around. These are all man made rules. A pilgrimage to Mecca and circling a meteorite while in prayer is about as close to idol worship as you can get, not to mention that is the very place the 365 gods the Arabs worshiped were located until Muhammed chose only the “Moon God” Allahaiah of war to exalt.

   3.) Paragraph one;

   I agree with the first sentence, but does Islam? When a Christian pastor burns a Holy Qur’an, the media goes wild and Islam kills. When Muslims kill Christians and Jews, burn churches and synagogs and rape Christian children, the news organizations seem quiet about it. The African Muslims are the worst! Christ said the path to eternal life was narrow, who is right?

1. The second sentence “sex outside of marriage”, is laughable seeing how Muhammed broke this law many times over, he was caught molesting an eight year old child and was nearly put to death by his followers. He claimed God gave him this little girl to be his number one wife (God does not support molestation). “Stealing”, is also laughable when Muhammed made his living raiding camel trains between Mecca and Medina and molesting any females present no matter the age.

   Paragraph 2 in section 3;

   Yes cleanliness is close to Godliness, inside and out of the body. I do not know if Muhammed drank alcohol, because I have not found any historical references to it. I have seen historical evidence of his consistent drug use. When I visited with the Palestinians in Israel, hashish and opiates smoked in water pipes while drinking Turkish coffee is a morning ritual before they open their shops or start work. (A Muslim walked up to me, out of the blue on the street, drunk or high on drugs and pissed his pants while telling me in Arabic “Y’shua lo Masshiach”. He was clearly possessed by the demon hatred of his Islamic beliefs). I would drink the very strong coffee, but passed on the pipe. I have several Muslim friends in Israel, and when we discuss religion, all seems OK until Muhammed is brought up. I have to be very cautious when trying to witness to them about who they believe the coming Messiah will be. They are very hospitable people and I always felt at home around them except for the one incidence I just mentioned, and that was an isolated event. I even allowed Uthman, a barber friend, shave my neck with a straight razor. The younger teenage Palestinian boys were troublesome, they are by far the most aggressive in expressing hatred.

   The prohibition of unclean food goes back further than Abraham. When you read the story of Noah in Genesis notice that there were 7 pairs of clean animals brought onto the ark, and only one pair of unclean.

   “Scholarship”;

   There was no “scholarship” in Muhammed’s life, he was illiterate, he could not even write his own name. Which brings up the validity of the Qur’an, who wrote it? It is written in a “Talmudic” stile, which leads me to believe Jewish slaves wrote it down. After Muhammed died (and where is the wisdom of not having appointed someone to succeed him after death?), family and generals fought over the right to carry on his teachings and lead his followers into the future. Muhammed was poisoned by his own followers. History tells us he was fed lamb tainted by hemlock poison, tried to spit it out, but was too late. His loyal followers concocted a story that he was carried to the furthermost mosque by a winged horse. Somehow they chose the Temple mount in Jerusalem to be the furthermost mosque (to fulfill the prophesy of Daniel about the “abomination of desolation Daniel 11:31”). Chaos broke out and the sacred writings of the Qur’an were burned. What Islam now has is a copy from remembrances of his teachings.

   Historically, it seems that Muhammed’s only knowledge was how to rape, steal and pillage innocent people.

   It is good that Muslims encourage their youth to study, but what are they taught? In the last thousand years nothing significant has been added to the knowledge of the world through Islam. Yes, before this time architecture and mathematics coming out of Islam was great and gave something to the collective knowledge of the world. Now they are “Hell Bent” on world domination and driving it back to the dark ages with “Sharia” law. We as tax payers, are funding a Muslim university in Gaza that has courses on how to be a martyr for Allah. Jewish and Christian scholars have offered much more by far than that Islam. Islamic schools now seem to be obsessed in teaching falsehood and antisemitism to their youth. They teach that there was never a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, the “Holocaust” never happened and Allah wishes to destroy unbelievers, which is a slap in the face to the “Redeeming Grace of the “Sacrificial Lamb of God”/Jesus/Yeshua/God in the flesh. “Not by works, lest any man boast”; You can not work, pray, become a martyr or kill your way into heaven. Only the belief that the infinite God became finite and shed His blood for YOU. Not Muhammed, a Khalif, a preacher, a religion or anything else, can get you into the Kingdom of God. Only a relationship with God through the shed blood of His lamb, Yeshua HaMachiach. You knew this once but rejected it. Those who have heard the “Gospel” of Christ and then rejected it, a special place is prepared for them in utter most darkness and separation from God.

   3.) paragraph 4 through section 4;

   No one is more worthy than others, “all are equal in the sight of God”. Only Grace/unwarranted favor gives us salvation, a gift that some refuse to open and use and therefore stay lost. Teachers are held to a higher accountability for influencing lives. If you teach “Lawlessness” (against the Word of God/Torah) you will stand before God in judgment.

   If race and ethnic origin are not important to Islam, why do they call us the “Great Satan” and Israel the “Little Satan”? Why do they want to drive Israel into the sea? They have a history of killing each other more than their enemy.

   The females genitalia are destroyed so after the men are finished with them, no other man will desire them. The clitoris is cut out of a girl so when she becomes of age, she will never experience pleasure, for pleasure is only for men. Do they think this pleases God!

No! Muslim women are not allowed to be scholars, professionals

1. or leaders in most Muslim nations. They are regarded as property not much higher that animals, completely submissive to man (no matter how crewel man treats them, sharia law backs the wishes of the man), in most extreme Muslim beliefs. Where is the freedom of life, liberty and happiness when a religion dictates your dress code? I agree that freedom has run a muck in this country and most of the free world. Iniquity, sloth, and filth has permeated us through the works of Satin, but we all have the right to choose whom to follow, and that is what we are here for. We can not force people to choose righteousness, it is their decision to accept or refuse God’s pleas for repentance.

   I know Jesus, is considered a holy prophet of Islam, but boy, how they reject all He taught. If Muslims followed His teachings, would they not then be Christian Muslims? Muslims kill Christians and burn churches, kill anyone in their family who is caught being one. Hundreds of prophesies in the Old Testament speak of Him, in fact there is more about Him in Torah than in the New Testament. He was not only a prophet, He is a high priest and the King spoken of who will rule and reign in the “Millennial’ period. John 1:1 says, Jesus was Word “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. Cookie, read the book of John, it is all about the deity of Christ. Islam can not choose only what fits their beliefs out of Jesus’ teachings and reject the rest. Most of all, they can not place anyone above Yeshua, for He is the manifesting presence of God. When He returns, He will NOT exalt Muhammed, He will judge him and his followers.

Is the place you go to worship a congregation about Jesus, or of  Jesus?

Many of the “Westernized” churches are so immersed into tradition, they would not recognise Christ if He walked into their congregation. They preach and teach about Jesus, but ignore the roots of their faith, or how to live as Christ did. The only “roots” they pay homage to is the foundation placed by the Romans in the second century. We need to quickly realise that it is the first century examples of the Apostles  we should be emulating. Our own churches have become stumbling blocks in our path to the Kingdom.

Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is

inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to that man

through whom the stumbling block comes! (Matthew 18:7)

Woe to the churches that teach that the divine Laws of  Adoni have been done away with. Woe to the teachers and preachers of “Lawlessness”! We should not take Jesus’ word lightly in Matthew 7:21-23.

Not everyone who says to Me, “Lord, Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven;

 but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.

Many will say to Me on that day, “Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name,

 and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?” 

 And then I will declare to them, “I never knew you;

 depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.“

When the Scriptures use the phrase, “My people”, remember G-d is talking about those who live by the covenant given on Mount Sinai and those grafted into this covenant. Christians have not replaced “My people” with the church, they have been grafted into the covenant, read Romans 11.

If you are experiencing problems in trying to reform teachings in your church and you have been patient with them, that is good.  But, if your influence is constantly being rejected, it is time to get out. The Scriptures specifically say “get out of Babylon before it is too late”. Do not try to reform the church any longer, bring others out with you and begin a new congregation in your home if need be. I thought for years, that the established church can reform and that it was my field of harvest to work in. I still do what I can to spread the REAL Gospel  in churches where I speak, but the harvest is small (narrow path comes to mind) and few change. I have been accused of “Judaizing”, “Legalism” and false teachings, but nothing I teach is not in the Holy Scriptures. Two scriptures come to mind here; Revelation 12:17 and 14:12. I will place them here so you do not have to look them up unless you wish to. Before I do, I want to point out that these scriptures are to the believers in the tribulation years who will undoubtedly face some hard times. So you tell me;  Are the Laws of the Holy One of Israel done away with and is there Torah-observant believers in the Tribulation years?  Our congregations are doing the same thing the scribes and Pharisees were doing when Christ reprimanded them in Mark 7:6-8, teaching doctrines and commandments of men.

And the dragon was enraged with the woman (Israel), and went off to

make war with the rest of her offspring (lost sheep of  Israel, us, Christians),

who keep the commandments of Yah and hold to the testimony of Jesus. (Rev. 12:17)

and

Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the

commandments of Yah and their faith in Jesus. (Rev. 14:12)

Do not get me wrong, I do not advocate church or congregational division, I know that we are one body, but we are running out of time to get our body in shape. We can not depend on the church, our pastors or friends to get us into the Kingdom, it is only our relationship with Yah through His son Yeshua the Messiah. If we want to be great in His Kingdom and favor, we must embrace His commandments with love because He gave us grace. We are no longer slaves to Torah but we are Torah observant because we love the Father and are betrothed to His son. Father Yah always gives us what we need, but if we are not obedient, will He bless us with the things we wish for or answer or prayers?  Proverbs 28:9 comes to mind;

He that turneth away his ear from

hearing the Law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

Christ, came to be an example of  Torah and to properly interpret It. He is Torah (John 1:1). We are part of the regathering lost Israel back to Torah, and this is what it is to be saved. That is what the “good news” (gospel) is. Thank you Yeshua for barring my judgment and giving me Grace, but most of all thank you for your Holy Word that led me to Your feet to discover Your Grace………….Amain.  

       P.S. If you are ever in the Troy, Alabama area, we have started a new Messianic congregation; “Workers of the Word Messianic Outreach Ministries”, at 2o92 Hyy. 87 just south of Troy (call 334 268 3303 for info.).

       Today is election day, November 2010, and I believe it is the most important election most of us have had in our life time. When we sign our name to a ballot endorsing, backing a candidate, we are saying that we believe as he or she does. If they believe in abortion, fore instance, by voting for them we will be held accountable for those acts they endorse. When we vote our pocketbooks and select people who are immoral to office, do you think we will be blessed of God? Will God continue to bless America if we move towards the path of unrighteousness? When we vote we are choosing who we wish to serve. By voting in Godly men and women we say we are serving the Most High God. I am note endorsing any one party, but the Democrats have been taken over by evil people who wish to destroy this country and it’s moral foundation. They wish to abolish the constitution, bring us into socialism and become lawless to seek their freedoms to do as they wish. The Republicans are not far behind, they seem “Hell Bent” on joining the chaos with the European Union and become one world government. How ever you vote, remember we deserve what we get. If we get back to putting God first in our decision making, we will be blessed again as a nation. May God help us all this day in our decisions!  

       If you are a Christian, do your actions reflect this? Matthew 24:4, needs our attion, it can open your eyes if you read it as Jesus intended.

“Watch out that no one deceives you. (Stay vigil, alert focused on God and His Word/Torah/Jesus and no one will deceive you)

For many will come in my name, saying I am the Messiah (churches of many denominations will profess Jesus is the Christ, and worship in His name…)

and they will deceive many. (teaching “lawlessness”/Torahlessness/a “Westernized Messiah)

       We as Christians have abolished our constitution/Torah and expect to be blessed of God. We claim the “Law” was done away with, because we misinterpret Paul’s writings. Peter warned against this in 2 Peter 3:16. Jesus is the Torah/Law/Word, John 1:1. Turn to Proverbs 28:9, this should make us shutter. We must get back to our roots…Romans 11, and substitute Jesus’ name, word, truth, light, commandments and instructions with Torah. Jesus is the Word and was the Word way before this Earth was formed. The Word is eternal and never changes. This is what gives us stability and freedom.

       Be of good courage, because Christians are waking up and embracingthe teachings of the Old Testament Torah and are being blessed with answered prayer and given gifts of service in the power of the Holy Spirit of Christ our God. If you claim to be “saved”, your actions should reflect the power of God. Quit following a westernized messiah, and follow the Jewish rabbi Jesus/Yeshua, who observed and spoke the Torah of God. Blessed be His name!

Vote well………………………………….
