Please
Note Well — It is not our intent to belittle, unduly criticize, or “bash” anyone who may hold religious or
political persuasions or opinions other than our own. Even though we may absolutely and totally disagree with your
opinion, we will defend to the death your G-d-given right to hold it. Since this website was
originally launched in 1995, we have continually held the position that We are not “anti-”anybody; we are only
pro-Truth [click here for the definition of “Truth”].
We firmly
believe that it can be proven with absolute certainty that the Bible, and the Bible only, is the revealed
Word of G-d,
and is the standard by which all knowledge and opinion must be judged. Information on this website that
concerns non-Biblical religious beliefs is provided for the sole purpose of comparing those beliefs with the
Revealed Truth of the Bible. We also attempt to
demonstrate how far the Body of Messiah has drifted from its Jewish origins. We earnestly await the return of
Messiah and the “Restoration of All Things” as promised by the prophets. If you disagree with our position,

As
the Olam Habah
quickly approaches, each of us is faced with some very difficult choices. One of these choices is whether or not
to defend ourselves from those who would force us to “submit” to the rule of Islam and Allah over every aspect of
our daily lives. (The word “Islam” literally means "to submit" or "to surrender" [to
Allah].) We have decided to stand with Joshua: “As for me and my household, we will serve
ADONAI!” (Jos
24:15 (CJB) -
Show Context)
Our
political and religious leaders tell us daily that Islam is a “peaceful religion” and that the great majority of
Muslims want only to live next to us in peace. However, it is expressly forbidden by the Qur'an for a Muslim to
accept a non-Muslim as a friend (Sura
3:28), and whoever does so “shall have nothing of Allah” (i.e., cannot, by their own definition, be a
true Muslim). If a person claims to be a Muslim, they must (by definition) believe the Qur'an; if
they claim to believe the Qur'an, they must believe the whole Qur'an, which says: “Say to those who
disbelieve [the Qur'an]: You shall be vanquished, and driven together to hell; and evil is the resting-place”
(Sura 3:12).
In Islamic eschatology (the teaching about the future) the ultimate goal of Islam is to
convert or kill all Jews and
Christians, and to have a one-world Islamic government and religion.

the numerous threats we have received from “peaceful” Muslims, we have been forced to remove our physical address

The Great Religions of the World
In order to effectively share the Gospel of
Yeshua HaMashiach with a non-believer it is always a good idea to have at
least some idea of what that person already believes. Remember that when Rav
Sha'ul addressed the people in Athens (Acts 17:16-34) he began his message to
them by mentioning that they had in their city an alter to “an unknown G-d.”
From that point he was able to tell them that the G-d that they considered
“unknown” was the only true G-d. He started from a point in their own belief
system and from there was able to share the Gospel with them.
King Solomon once said, “There is nothing
new under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9). Virtually all of the cults that the
Bible-believer will encounter are either based on old heresies that have been
dusted off and given a fresh coat of paint to make them look new, or they are
simply a Westernized version of one or more of the religions of man.
This section provides a brief summary of
the core teachings of many of the world religions and the cults that are
derived from them.

Most of the
documents in this section of our site are compiled from a series of
lectures on the cults and world religions delivered by Prof. Rickard L. Sawyer, ThM, ThD, DMin
(Ari Levitt) and Prof. Grady L.
Davis, BD, MCM, PhD in the Department of Comparative Religion on the
Alameda, California, campus of Golden Gate School of Theology from
1983 to 1985, and in numerous churches in California and Tennessee from
1980 to 1995. Some minor editorial changes have been made to present a more
Messianic Jewish viewpoint than that of the original Baptist-oriented
presentation. |
