Christian Clarity Review

God has me away for a weekend and anti-Christ through a Romanists appears to be standing up for the real Jesus Christ by making note of the duplicity of what he presumes to have been ‘Christian’ reporters in being coerced at gunpoint to deny Christ and ‘convert’ to the demon worship of Islam:

excerpted Converting at Gunpoint - Canterbury Tales

I just learned of the release of the two kidnapped reporters, Steven Centanni Olaf Wiig, in Gaza. We thank God for their release and safety. They reported that they were forced to convert to Islam at gunpoint and they complied.

The implications of this are profound. A Christian who says any statement against Christ (be it coerced or not) has committed the sin of apostasy. “But whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.” Matt 10:33.

The Chronicles of the first 500 years of Christianity testify that this was the gravest sin known to man, far worse than sodomy, adultery, murder, etc. because it is a direct act of blasphemy against Christ. It is forgivable, but it is the worst sin because one denies the very channel and mode of forgiveness and salvation, that is Christ Himself.

Anti-Christ goes on to lament this supposed faux pau of the PR for one’s supposed self-chosen religion by ending with: “If the Muslim sees that we are not willing to die for Christ they will not see that Christ is worth living for.” I.E. “Why would anyone use their free will the way we want them to if they see us using our free will to oppose our own Christian PR?” –as if free will existed and any Romanists was a real, literal new creature in Jesus Christ. The Romanist is not at all concerned the Islamics be born again –or the reporters — and thus God through them not deny Himself, only that PR be done in that particular manner that is supposedly in line with what anti-Christ says is God’s will-neutral, non-interfering speech of ‘holy info’ by which the supposed non-born again soul simply uses that same supposed will-neutral speech to please God and ‘earn’ his or her way to heaven while simultaneously advertising for Jesus to those of pagan regions as if pagans had any power whatsoever to ‘choose Jesus’ at all.

Islamics are naked and ignorant savages thoroughly deceived that they have free will and have chosen the best ’system’ of ‘religion’ availible and are ‘good’ and ‘moral’, even though their whole history demonstrates the contrary to their faces. Without non-metaphorical new birth in Jesus Christ they are on their way to the lake of fire.

And anti-Christ wraps his lies in truth: the sin of speaking against Christ IS forgiveable –but only in actual and non-metaphorical new birth in Jesus Christ which is accomplished by the Spirit of God in the Word, and as being indivisible with the Word of God/Jesus Christ and the Father. The sin of speaking against the Holy Spirit is NOT forgiveable.

Matthew 12:30-32 He that is not with me is against me, and he that gathers not with me scatters. For this reason I say unto you, Every sin and injurious speaking shall be forgiven to men, but speaking injuriously of the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men. And whosoever shall have spoken a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this age nor in the coming one .

From: Fox’s Book of Martyrs, sidestepping at present the on-going blood-bath in Islamic lands against Chrisitans specifically since ancient times and offering hope to those who in past times recanted their faith as demonstrating what their brothers and sisters in Christ suffered at the hands of Roman Catholics and who were ‘forced to recant’ and were then later burned at the stake anyway as false heretics by those same Roman Catholics when God Spoke His Truth through the martyrs and returned them to Himself in the face of Roman Catholic and Islamic presecution:

October 18, 1511, William Succling and John Bannister, who had formerly recanted, returned again to the profession of the faith, and were burnt alive in Smithfield.

In the year 1517, one John Brown (who had recanted before in the reign of Henry VII and borne a fagot round St. Paul’s,) was condemned by Dr. Wonhaman, archbishop of Canterbury, and burnt alive at Ashford. Before he was chained to the stake, the archbishop Wonhaman, and Yester, bishop of Rochester, caused his feet to be burnt in a fire until all the flesh came off, even to the bones. This was done in order to make him again recant, but he persisted in his attachment to the truth to the last.

Hebrews 11:36-40 ..and others underwent trial of mockings and scourgings, yea, and of bonds and imprisonment. They were stoned, were sawn asunder, were tempted, died by the death of the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, destitute, afflicted, evil treated, (of whom the world was not worthy,) wandering in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caverns of the earth. And these all, having obtained witness through faith, did not receive the promise, God having foreseen some better thing for us, that they should not be made perfect without us.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
