There is only one religion of peace


The recent Fort Hood shooting reveals (ad infinitum) that there is only one true religion of peace. Islam is a false religion bent on physical war with the infidel (even though there are many nominal Muslims who do not actively engage in jihad). Christ is the only one who truly brings peace because he has destroyed sin and death- man's real enemies. If you want to understand the teachings of Islam regarding jihad, here is a good site that sets out the very teachings of the Koran, the Hadith and Sira- http://www.answering-islam.org/Silas/jihad.htm

Islam offers no victory from sin, death, and the wrath of God. It is only the cross of Christ that brings the real peace that men need. We all need peace with a three times holy God whose wrath against us is just and beyond imagination in its power to destroy both body and soul in hell.

Christianity offers a God whose love makes a way to overcome the guilt of our sin. God makes atonement for us in the death of Christ. It is an atonement that only comes to those who put their faith in Christ alone.

That message does not cause Christians to kill those who do not believe in Christ. It makes us call all men everywhere to repent and believe in Christ who one day will be called Lord- by every Muslim and non-Muslim (Philippians 2:9-11).
