Seeing America Through the Mullahs' Eyes

All emphasis and Scriptures were added to this article

"Emergent? church guru Brian McLaren is urging fellow emergent Christians to see the U.S. as ?others see us.? As part of this Christian enlightenment, he shares on his blog a music video in which two Iranian sisters, posing as broadcast journalists hosting an Iranian news broadcast, sing an anti-American diddy about ?demoKracy,? while American bombs cascade on innocent civilians. ?An Iranian-born friend sent me the link,? McLaren chimed. ?And I can't help but feel it would do my fellow USAmericans a lot of good to let this video/song sink in ...? No doubt.

Mat 12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

Mat 12:50 whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Jam 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

The Iranian sisters sing their way through the broadcast spoof, amid American tanks and planes creating mayhem among defenseless Iraqis, whose plight Iranians may soon face, the broadcast implies:

There?s fresh fruit in market.
Dictator is wiped off target.
We?ve brought a new fruit load
Democracy is what we swallowed.
Fresh fruit of the year is called ?democracy.?
Served in a bowl, but tastes like hypocrisy.
When its season comes here.
You find it in stockpiles close by near
Oh? Eh! O-E-O-E-O!
In many places sold to you by force
Wrapped neatly, labeled by its source.
If you refuse ?to stay the course.?
They shove it in your throat.
Oh! Eh! O-E-O-E-O!
Seems buying it is the only way.
Their fruits taste different everywhere.
Ripe and ready in the yard.
Tastes like flaming lead falling hard.
Kilo by kilo everywhere exported.
Promptly wrapped, swiftly transported.
Soon its your time as season comes near
They plant it in a garden right here

No doubt, this song was written by those who sit at the table that calls the Son of God an abomination. It's in their Koran. {See for yourselves]

As for Mr. McLaren....who claims to be a Christian....

1Jo 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

2Jo 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, RECIEVE HIM NOT into your house, neither bid him God speed:

2Jo 1:11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

1Cr 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

And so you see, Mr. McLaren can claim to be a Christian until blue in the face and the cows come home....just because he says he's one - doesn't mean that he is. And according to the Sole Supreme Authority of all of Christianity - on a level that a child can understand - he's not.

Besides....

Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this Word, it is because there is no light in them.

Be aware of a few facts concerning True Christianity before reading the rest of this report.

Why should Christians concern themselves with what non-Christians who bash America think and especially with those who bow to a god that calls the Son of God an abomination - when she is the only nation on earth who Honors the Lord Jesus by her Constitution?....

Article. VII

Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven {that year signifies only one possible Lord for this Constitution] and of the Independence of the United States of America. And in this Lord's Covenant - unlike Islam's Koran - there is not one single sentence that exists that teaches humans to be violent with each other. Not one!

Islam calls this Lord an abomination.....to which, according to the Sole Supreme Authority of all of Christianity - that makes Islam the anti-Christ} 1Jo 2:22

Mal 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes {not filthy money - but the labor of the saints - Mat 5:16] into the storehouse, that there may be meat {a higher understanding] in Mine house, and prove Me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

1Ti 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

1Jo 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

Jhn 10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. We are to pray for our enemies - Not strangers! There is a difference} Mat 10:36 - Mic 7:6

Yeah - Mr McLaren can call himself a Christian until blue in the face and the cows come home; just because he says he's one - doesn't mean that he is.

The final seen shows a mock weather map of the Middle East, covered by U.S. planes dropping bombs, amid emerging mushroom clouds. This seems a little odd, since nobody alleges that the U.S. is planning a nuclear attack on Iran. Iran, is in fact, the only nation that has implied it might employ a nuclear strike in the region.

Cleverly composed, and including footage of the flag-draped coffins of American military personnel slain in the misbegotten crusade for ?demoKracy,? the music video undoubtedly accurately reflects the views of the Iranian theocracy. The dissenting views of that regime?s victims have not received equal air time from the social justice minded McLaren, who is actively supporting the Obama campaign partly because of its outrage over America?s wars since 9-11.

McLaren even helped to found the Matthew 25 Network, the political pressure group headed by former John Kerry religious outreach director Mara Vanderslice to guide Christians, especially squishy evangelicals, away from Republicans and towards Obama.

Luk 6:39 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?

In a letter for the Matthew 25 Network earlier this year to explain his public support for Obama, McLaren explained: ?We?ve watched too many members of our faith communities be manipulated by cynical politicians who knew what tune to play to get people of faith marching obediently in their parade.? The emerging church leader joined in with Matthew 25, based on the Scripture about Jesus? help for the ?least of these,? because he wants to invite Christians to ?consider how to use our vote on behalf of the neediest, the most vulnerable and poverty-stricken ? so that their concerns are our own when we vote. For us, this is inherent in what it means to be followers of Jesus.?

Mat 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Mat 12:48 who are my brethren?

Mat 12:50 whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

According to McLaren, electing a ?better president? will not solve everything, but it will be a step a step towards ?caring for our fragile and wounded planet, building a just peace in situations of conflict and fear, and eliminating extreme poverty.? The Matthew 25 Network?s most recent action calls for liberal Christians is to petition fellow believer Governor Sarah Palin, urging her to ?be truthful in all things, to ?put away falsehood? (Eph 4:25) and refrain from slandering, belittling, or speaking out of contempt for anyone.?

Zec 8:16 These are the things that ye shall [was yet to come] do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates

Eph 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. Who is my neighbour? Does the kingdom of the anti-Christ reside next to the Kingdom of God? No - it does not.

Evidently, Palin?s speech to the Republican convention violated these biblical injunctions, which deeply ?disappointed? the Matthew 25 Network, and which is imploring the vice presidential candidate to shun her naughty ways and ?commit herself to campaigning in good faith, with love and respect for her political opponents and a strong commitment to truth-telling.?

How about this for Truth-Telling?...

Rev 15:3 And they [the saints] sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

In the song of Moses...

Exd 15:14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.

And becuase two or three witnesses are required for any matter to be established.....here's two more:

Joe 3:4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head

Isa 14:31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times.

Do you hear Mr. McLaren 'singing' the song of Moses?

If anything, Mr. McLaren has chosen to go in the opposite direction. So has Obama/Barry. Both have made clear their support for Palestine - a name that's not even mentioned in the Koran - not once! But the name Israel is. The Koran even devoted a whole chapter to the children of Israel.

Mr. McLaren claims to be a Christian. Not only is he not singing the song of Moses...but he has chosen to fight for that which the Lord he claims to be a represenative of already condemned.

Luk 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Mat 12:30 He that is not with Me - is against Me - There is no in-between

Rev 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of - the prophecy of this book.

The Matthew 25 Network is merely a vehicle for injecting pro-Obama talking points into America?s religious bloodstream, to counter the traditional preference for Republicans by active church goers. But McLaren and other postmodern Christians, with their focus on the therapeutic over the doctrinal, no doubt genuinely hope an Obama presidency would genuinely ?heal? the planet with gentle talk and mutual understanding, underscored with lots of apologies (by America to the rest of the world) and large dollops of ?listening.?

In fact, no president of the United States, from either party, is likely to set aside his constitutional obligations militarily to defend the republic in favor of a new role as therapist in chief. Even an Obama presidency almost certainly would respond to a nuclearizing Iran with more force than the dispatch of Christian Peacemaking Teams, or a note of apology for the 1953 coup against the Mossadeq regime, as McLaren would prefer. Which remains to be seen. And no, he would not send Christians into Iran - he would send Muslims. Going into Iran - not even these Muslims could falsely claim to be Christians for the sole purpose of giving Islam the upper hand - as some are already doing.

And no presidential campaign, including Obama?s, would associate with an Iranian propaganda music video that inveighs against the ?hypocrisy? of American-backed ?demoKracy? and speculates about U.S. nuclear attacks against Iran, amid a backdrop of American coffins. The Religious Right is constantly portrayed as the crazy uncle to Republicans. But as the Evangelical Left increases its profile, it is likely to pose its own unique forms of embarrassment.

Mat 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire [the 'fire' comes from the mouth} Rev 9:17 - Rev 9:18], prepared for the devil and his angels

The final Judgment:

Jer 51:57 And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.

Isa 26:14 They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

They will not be in their graves when the Lord comes to call:

Isa 14:19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

Luk 11:44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.

This is the second death. The first death reigned already.

They will die without mercy - the sure mercies of David
