Building A Fight
Thursday, June 15, 2017I'm having some issues about this mosque being argued over in New York, as many seem to be. In all truth and seriousness in the nature of this debate, we've understood that our first amendment right is the freedom of religion, and to infringe on this God-given right for one party or person, is to bring a disservice to us all. I was hopeful that you could guide me to some Scriptures that help tell us how not to focus so much hate or look down on our fellow man, even if we don't agree with how they've chosen to live their lives. I have had the arguments with coworkers and family that ours is not to judge their actions but to be mindful of our own, but some words from the Lord would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.Sincerely,

Dear Changing The Topic,
People should always seek to be tactful in religious debate, but from a Biblical viewpoint, every mosque is appalling. The Muslim religion stands opposed to the Bible and Jesus. Jesus said that He is the only way to God (Jhn 14:6), and the apostle Paul condemned all false prophets (Gal 1:8)... including Mohammed. That is God’s judgment on the religion of Islam.
The building of a mosque at Ground Zero has political and emotional ramifications that can be talked about for hours, but the Biblical ramifications are simple – Islam is a false religion.

Vanishing Act
Wednesday, June 14, 2017According to Isaiah 3:1-3, God was about to take away everything from Judah and Jerusalem, including soothsayers and enchanters. So does this mean all this time there were soothsayers and enchanters among Judah and Jerusalem?Sincerely,
Enchanting
Dear Enchanting,
Yes, Judah and Jerusalem had become a very corrupt nation, and God was deeply displeased with them at this time. Isaiah prophesied during a time when idolatry was abundant (Isa 10:11), and wickedness was everywhere (Isa 2:5-8). God was greatly displeased with the nation and was going to send them into captivity for their evil ways and ignorance of God’s laws (Isa 5:13).
