More on Burning the koran

Well, now he’s gone and done it. The pastor who threatened to burn the koran in September 2010 has carried through with those threats, and the results are very telling…

In response to these acts against the false teachings of islam’s false god “allah” (the devil), evil men have rioted and murdered, and what does the media say about this? “…It is the fault of the pastor who burned the koran, not the murderers…”

As I stated in my earlier post about Burning the koran, I am opposed to burning the koran. However my reasoning behind this is not to prevent riots, it is to save souls. The koran has no power or threat to the Gospel of Christ. It doesn’t need to be burned for Jesus’s words to be convincing. Something the islam world doesn’t want people to know about is that there are millions of muslims turning to Christ 1, simply because Christ’s words speak life whereas the koran offers only death.

It is not out of respect that I oppose burning the koran. It is only for salvation’s sake that I do not recommend desecrating a powerless book that muslims consider to be holy, because that might cause a questioning muslim to close his ears. If it were not for these poor deceived souls, I would hold no restraint in building a bonfire of my own, and hurling the blazing pages into the face of the evil that gave it birth.

On the other hand I am very appalled at the response of the media. These murders are not the fault of the pastor who chose to burned the koran. Even though I don’t agree with his choice and feel he has much to learn about being a true Christian, I still place the blame for evil where it is appropriately due, on the devil. And I place the guilt of sin on the sinners who commit it (unless that guilt is cleansed by the blood of Christ), not on an ignorant man who burned a worthless book that was his own property so he had every right to burn it.

The koran is a book of death. When people follow it they are incited to murder. When other people reject it, the followers of the koran are incited to murder. When the opposition burns it, the followers of the koran are incited to murder. The message of the koran is at war with people, and results in murder.

The Bible is a book of life. When people follow it they are incited to forgive and to love. When other people reject it, the followers of the Bible are incited to forgive and to love. When the opposition burns it, the followers of the Bible are incited to forgive and to love even more. The message of Christ is at war with evil, not people. Christ came to save all of us from evil, and He does not want anyone to die under its grip.

John 10:10 - The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (NIV)

1 Timothy 2:1-4 - I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. (NIV)
