You shall NOT kill
Posted : 20 Apr, 2011 07:39 AM
Dear Brothers,
Many in the Muslim brotherhood think highly of those who murder in the name of Allah. They believe they will receive a great reward in heaven. I want to show you how serious the consequences are of murdering.
In the Bible the first man who was ever murdered was Abel. He was murdered by his brother Cain. Cain was jealous of his brother Abel as Abel had brought an offering that God respected, whereas He didn't respect Cain�s offering.
After Cain had killed Abel. God asked Cain about his brother. God then said to Cain your brothers blood cry out to me from the ground. You see my brothers the Bible clearly states that whenever we shed blood that blood cries out for vengeance.
See Genesis 4:10: And God said What have you done? The voice of your brother�s blood cries out to me from the ground.
The blood cries out for vengeance. Whenever someone takes the life of an innocent person that blood will cry out for vengeance.
Why is this/its says in Leviticus 17:11 The life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it to you upon the later to make an atonement for your souls for its THE blood that makes atonement for the soul.
We have all sinned and come short of the glory of God. There is not one righteous no not one. We are all deserving of eternal punishment of hell. There is only one thing that can save us from hell. That is the blood of Jesus.
The God of the Bible and the god of the Koran are two very different Gods only one can be true.
The God of the Bible is a God of compassion and love. His mercy knows no bounds. He is an amazing God. Even if you have murdered someone He not only can but wants to forgive you.
Look and Moses and Saul of Tarsus both were murderers but God forgave them. Not only did He forgive them but He then used them greatly to help and bless and encourage the lives of multitudes of people. No matter what you have done God can use you. But first He wants unconditional surrender.
What is unconditional surrender?
He wants you to give up your life and what you want and to surrender to what He wants He wants to be Lord of your life.
But you may say, �I have so much going for me. It is too much to give up.� Don't be fooled even by your own heart.
Listen to the words of Jesus (�Isa):
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. Matthew 16:25-27
For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father�s, and of the holy angels. Luke 9:26
On the Day of Judgment we will have to give an answer to the God Man Jesus. He will judge us for our sins. Only if we have asked Him before we die in faith to forgive us of our sins and to be Lord of our lives and to forsake our old ways and to live for Jesus will we be allowed into heaven on that day. No hypocrites will be allowed into heaven. We must have a sincere faith and follow Jesus wholeheartedly.
So if you shed man�s blood you will have to give an answer to your Creator on that day.
God does not relish sending anyone to hell. He does it reluctantly. He prefers to forgive people and to let them into His Heavenly Kingdom. But unless they have repented (which means forsaken their sins) and are living for Jesus will they escape on that day.
God loves all of mankind. He doesn't want anyone to be lost. But there will be many lost.
I ask you whoever you are who is reading this. In fact I beg of you. Turn from your evil ways turn back to God. Cry out to Jesus and ask Him to forgive your sins. AND YOU WILL FIND MERCY.
The Bible says those that live by the sword will die by the sword. That doesn't have to be the case with you. Turn back to God today!
Listen to the prophet Isaiah. Chapter 1:18
� Come now, and let us reason together,�
Says the LORD,
� Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
The Bible also says when one sinner repents, the angels in heaven rejoice.
Let today be your day. Turn back to your Heavenly Father. He is patiently waiting for you....when you turn to Him there will be great rejoicing in heaven over you!

Matthew 16
The Pharisees and Sadducees Seek a Sign
1 Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered and said to them, �When it is evening you say, �It will be fair weather, for the sky is red�; 3 and in the morning, �It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.� Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times. 4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.� And He left them and departed.
The Leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees
5 Now when His disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 6 Then Jesus said to them, �Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.�
7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, �It is because we have taken no bread.�
8 But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, �O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you have brought no bread?[c] 9 Do you not yet understand, or remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up? 10 Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many large baskets you took up? 11 How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread?�but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.� 12 Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ
13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, �Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?�
14 So they said, �Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.�
15 He said to them, �But who do you say that I am?�
16 Simon Peter answered and said, �You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.�
17 Jesus answered and said to him, �Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.�
20 Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ.
Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection
21 From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.
22 Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, �Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!�
23 But He turned and said to Peter, �Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.�
Take Up the Cross and Follow Him
24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, �If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.
Jesus Transfigured on the Mount
28 Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.�
