Just What Every Iraqi Needs: A Bible

JUST WHAT EVERY IRAQI NEEDS: A BIBLE


Today, evangelical Christianity has been self-appointed to change everyone in the world and make them adhere to the evangelical mode of Christianity. This is where it differs from most world religions. Just imagine a hoard of Muslims arriving in the U.S. with thousands of copies of the Koran and publicly stating they were about to save the population of the country. Within hours, there would be many new cells erected at Guantanamo and the Muslims would have an all-expenses paid trip to Cuba.

Let me highlight a few statements made from its "Bibles for the Middle East" section:
• People in this part of the world are desperate for such materials. 2004 was declared the Year of the Bible throughout the Arab world and interest is high. Thousands of people are seeking to receive a copy of the Bible.

• Continuing a strategy first launched last year, their goal is to distribute 100,000 school bags to these little ones, each fitted with urgently needed paper, pencils, and other school materials, along with evangelistic children’s books. In this way, just weeks from now, thousands of future Iraqi leaders will have the opportunity to come to know Christ.
• I’m sure you praise God with me for this excitement and for the fact that, thanks to this distribution, a generation of Iraqis is finally hearing the Truth about Christ.

4. Why would the Muslims go backward? Muhammad came as a

prophet after Jesus and said he was the return of Jesus. He continued the New Testament into the Koran. He came from the same background as Jesus. He was next in a line of prophets from Abraham. For the Christians to wipe out the Word of God like that should be heresay.

What would Jesus do? Jesus would embrace Muhammad and they would sit down and have coffee together. Their purpose is to unit people for the betterment of the world. Some Christians don't seem to want thank - the betterment of mankind.

5. Of course the gay Iraqi kids don't get one.

Dobson's "spongebob gaydar" will ferret them out.

6. This reminds me

Of my favorite quote from Arch Bishop Desmond TuTu...
"When the missionaries first came to Africa they had the bible and we had the land. They said...Let us pray. We closed our eyes...When we opened our eyes, we had the bible and they had the land."

7. I heard a quote from an anthropologist who had worked with

a "missionized" african tribe:

"We knew the Bible was the book they lived by on Sunday, but they never showed us the book they lived by the rest of the week".

8. Heard a radio ad a month or so ago while scanning stations

it talked about if you get an oil change or get your window fixed (or something like that), that a portion of your purchase will go to buy bibles for Africa.

I couldn't believe it.
