Club Adventist
Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

My question for the sheik who had the dream about Adventists...why didn't the sheik come over *here* to visit the GC and visit with Adventists, instead of GC officials going over to see *him*? Who could better afford the trip?

Very good point rudywoofs.

There was a letter from Johnson in the last online Review, but it was on the other computer, which decided not to boot yesterday afternoon. Maybe you could find it.

Good advice, however, persecution is guaranteed regardless for endtime believers who will refuse homage to the beast or its image.

Why worry about that until America becomes Islamicphobic?"Sufficient for the day is it's own trouble." Or, as my grandfather used to say,"Why worry, it may never happen?"

To be perfectly honest, Muslims frighten me. I don't want to reach out to Muslims. I think there *should* be profiling of people getting on planes or other public transportation.

I remember when 9/11 happened and two Muslims who owned a convenience store were whooping and clapping and laughing about it. A CocaCola delivery truck came to give them their order of Coca Cola products. He saw them whooping it up and took out all Coke products and left them without their order. I think people are being lulled into forgetting about 9/11.

If I see an obviously Muslim person in a store or on the street, I will deliberately avoid them like the plague. I know some of you have Muslim friends. That's fine. You can keep them. I don't trust them.

And I had bad experiences with Muslims-turned-SDA at WWC. They would call Americans filthy names and were nasty mean-spirited people.

I have a Muslim friend who is against violence, as many are. We have peaceful, honest discussions.

In Genesis 16:12 the Lord predicts that Ishmael would be a "wild man," and "his hand will be against every man". It also says that "... he shall dwell (prosper) in the presence of all his brethren."

It's one thing to know this, but should we dwell on it and become discouraged by it? God still reigns!

Gail, you're not an American. But still watch your back.

I do not believe Islam can really trace it's roots to Ishmael.
