History of Islam: Part 6

Glad to have you along.

I'm Brother James.

This is the Preaching of the Cross Radio Broadcast.

And we got cut short last time if you weren't with us.

We have been discussing for five broadcasts.

This will be the sixth, five broadcasts.

We've been discussing the Muslim religion, the faith of the Muhammadan.

And on the last broadcast, we were discussing the seven heavens that were said to be exist by Muhammad.

And we were discussing the things that are supposedly contained in those heavens that are offered to the followers of the prophet.

This is what we learned on the last program that in these seven heavens there are progressive degrees of pleasure and enjoyment, but that any man who does good works, in particular, kills for Muhammad or dies attempting to kill for Muhammad, he will be ushered into this paradise and given seventy-two beautiful young women to do with as he pleases.

We also learn that in the seventh heaven, called the Garden of Paradise, there is an angel whose body exceeds in bulk that of the whole earth.

This angel is said to have seventy thousand heads, in each head are seventy thousand mouths, in each mouth seventy thousand tongues, and each tongue is said to speak seventy thousand different languages.

Now I tried, I tried while speaking to do that math, and I I can't even do math very well when I'm not speaking.

I'm very, very poor at math.

But since the last broadcast, I sat down, and here's what I did.

It's simple, you can do it at home.

I took the 70,000 heads on this angel, and I multiplied them by seventy thousand because that's how many mouths are supposed to be in each head, and this angel has four billion nine hundred million mouths.

That's a lot of mouths.

Then I multiplied the four billion nine hundred million mouths by the seventy thousand tongues that are said to be in each mouth of this angel, and I don't even know what you'd call this number.

It's three hundred and forty-three with three, six, nine, twelve zeros after it.

Now that's hundreds, thousands, millions, billions, trillions.

Okay, three hundred and forty-three trillion tongues this one angel possesses.

And then I multiplied that three hundred and forty-three trillion tongues by the 70,000 different languages that each tongue was supposed to be able to speak, and that gives you the figure of 24, comma, 010, comma, followed by three, six, nine, twelve, fifteen zeros.

Now I don't know what that would be.

A hundreds, thousands, millions, billions, trillions, zillions.

We never get past that.

When we'd get in an argument when we were boys, we'd say, I'll bet you a dollar, I'll bet you ten dollars, I'll bet you a hundred dollars, I'll bet you a thousand dollars, I'll bet you a million dollars, I'll bet you a trillion dollars, I'll bet you a zillion dollars, and we never we never had anything beyond a zillion dollars.

Of course, at that point it it wasn't a verbal argument anymore, and uh who knows what we were betting about, but it was that important to bet a zillion dollars, but this is twenty-four, get this, twenty-four, comma, zero, one, zero, comma, and then three, six, nine, twelve, fifteen zeros after that.

That's uh that's a lot of languages for one angel to speak, and to speak all at the same time, but that's that's in the seventh heaven of the Muhammadan religion.

Uh also we learn that in this heaven uh that the man, the man would not only receive seventy-two women to satisfy his pleasure, but that his sweat wouldn't stink, in fact, uh just the opposite, his perspiration would be perfumed, and he would be able to drink uh a thousand years worth of liquor and never get drunk.

Also in this uh paradise that's promised to the Muhammadan, uh the air will resound with melodious uh voices, the voice of Israel and the songs of the daughters of paradise.

The very rustling of the trees will produce ravishing harmony, while myriads of bells hanging among their branches will be put in dulcet motion by heirs from above the throne of Allah.

Above all, the faithful are promised that they will be blessed with female society to the full extent of even oriental imaginings.

That is a perpetual orgy.

I hate to put it that way, but we're comparing the holy Bible of the holy God given by the Holy Spirit through holy prophets to the lustful desires of Muhammad, which he held forth to his followers.

Besides the wives that a man had on earth, who only go with him to heaven if he desires to have them rejoin him, he will be attended by the harlots called Huris, H-O-U-R-I-S, so called because of their large black eyes.

These are resplendent beings free from every human defect or frailty, perpetually retaining their youth and beauty, and get this, and renewing their virginity.

Seventy-two of these are allotted to every believer.

The union with them will be fruitful or not, according to their wish.

Now get this.

I can't tell you till later in the study what a woman gets out of this uh Muslim religion, but here's what the man gets seventy-two perpetual virgins.

Why the Pope came seventy-one short of that with his fairy tale.

Seventy-two perpetual virgins whose offspring in one hour are full grown and fully mature, just like their parents.

Now, I I can tell you I can tell you something similar to that.

If if you'll just give me an opportunity, I can tell you something something equally as impressive.

Once the dish ran away with a spoon.

And and almost at the same time, the cow jumped over the moon.

No, I I I'm telling you.

Why wouldn't you believe that?

Well, I I'm sorry, I guess I don't believe it either.

I don't believe a cat was playing a fiddle.

And this idea of of the Mohammedan paradise, uh, you don't hear much about it in America.

When these fellas get on your TV after the latest bombing, missile attack, suicide raid, after the latest airplane flying into a building full of civilians, after the latest hijacking.

You don't hear much from from these fellows.

All you hear is we all worship the same God, and we're a religion of peace.

Why don't you look at the TV camera and talk to us about those seventy-two perpetual virgins?

The true believer may be fully competent to the enjoyment of this blissful region.

In order to do so, he will rise from the grave in the prime of manhood at the age of thirty, and the stature of Adam, which was thirty cubits.

Thirty cubits.

Now, this is what Muhammad said.

Adam was, now let's be conservative, let's take the least of the cubits, which was fifteen inches.

That's of all the the oriental measures designated cubit.

Fifteen inches be as short as you could get.

Muhammad said that Adam was thirty cubits tall.

That would make Adam forty five feet tall.

How about that?

Forty five feet tall.

That's incredible.

In fact, that's one of the most amazing things I've ever heard since I read about the rabbit checking his watch and lamenting to Alice that he was running late.

It's phenomenal.

Adam was forty-five feet tall, and you will be too.

Now, whether or not these seventy-two virgins that you get when you rise from the grave at age thirty are also forty-five feet tall, or perhaps they're a petite uh forty-two feet tall, or a grandiose uh forty-four and a half feet tall, we're not told.

But uh the Mohammedan believer will reach paradise with all his faculties improved to a state of uh perfection, with the abilities of a hundred men, and with the desires and appetites quickened rather than diminished by enjoyment.

So the more you you gratify the lust of your flesh, the more your flesh will lust after in the Islamic heaven.

The Quran itself gives constant promises of paradise.

I quote, as to those who believe and do good works, we will not suffer the reward of him who shall work righteousness to perish.

For them are prepared gardens of eternal abode, which shall be watered by rivers, they shall be adorned therein with bracelets of gold, and shall be clothed in green garments of fine silk and brocades, reposing themselves therein on thrones, oh how happy a reward, and how easy a couch.

For him who dreaded the tribunal of his Lord and are prepared two gardens, planted with shady trees, in each of them shall be two fountains flowing, in each of them shall there be of every fruit two kinds, they shall repose on couches, the linings whereof shall be of thick silk interwoven with gold, and the fruit of the true gardens shall be near at hand to gather.

Therein shall receive the beauteous damsels, refraining their eyes from beholding any besides their spouses, whom no man hath deflowered before them, neither any genius, having complexions like rubies and pearls, and besides these there shall be two other gardens of a dark green, in each of them should be two fountains pouring forth plenty of water, in each of them should be fruits and palm trees and pomegranates, therein shall be agreeable and beauteous damsels, having fine black eyes and kept in pavilions from public view, whom no man hath deflowered before their destined spouses, nor any genius, therein shall they delight themselves, lying on green cushions and beautiful carpets.

Blessed be the name of the Lord, possessed of glory and honor.

So for the Mohammedan who kills for Allah, who sheds blood for Muhammad, what's waiting?

Girls, girls, girls, babes, babes, babes, lust, lust, lust, gratified but never satisfied, ever increasing longings of the flesh, and all you've got to do is just uh find those green couches.

I you know it seemed to me in this uh sex-crazed, perverse American society in which we live, that uh that'd be a very uh popular way to promote one's religion.

But it certainly doesn't sound much like the Holy Bible set forth by the Holy God.

Now, do you believe?

I do.

Listen, this is what I believe.

Everybody's free to leave what they want to believe in this life.

I believe with all my heart that God is all wise and all knowing.

And I believe that God has man's best interests at heart.

I believe that, I believe he always has.

And before man fell into sin, when man was in perfect favor and harmony with his maker, do you know how many women God gave to a sinless man?

Do you know how you know how many God gave the listen, the only man, the only man who was man and not God, Jesus Christ, God and man, the only man purely, totally human, to ever walk this earth with no sin, no sin nature, not in a fallen condition, that man, in perfect relationship to God.

Do you know how many women God gave that man?

I'll give you a hint.

His name was Adam.

I'll tell you how many he had.

He had one one.

Count 'em.

One wife.

Turn to the New Testament.

You know what God said?

You know what God said He demanded, he desired, he ordained?

For the blessing, for the benefit, for the happiness, for the satisfaction of a man.

He said, Let, let, let the man be.

The man must be the husband of count them.

How many?

How many?

One wife.

The husband of one wife.

Now that's the God of the Holy Bible.

When Muhammad or Joe Smith come along later and tell you they've got a better idea.

You're going to have to choose.

I can't choose for you.

You're going to have to decide.

I can't decide for you.

Who are you going to believe?

I'm going to stay with the Bible.

I'm going to stay with the Word of God, with the resurrected Savior, with the one who died and was buried and rose again.

I'm going to stay with him over the man that died and was buried and was never heard from again.

That's my choice.

So that's the Muslim heaven.

Now let's consider the Muhammadan hell.

What does the Muhammad religion teach about hell and those who don't make it to one of their seven heavens and beyond?

I'll tell you what, let me say something before we move on.

I didn't start, I didn't start doing this yesterday.

This is not my first day on the job.

And here's what happens.

When I come on this radio, or when I stand in the pulpit and I say, The Church at Rome believes there is no salvation apart from the Roman Catholic Church, the Catholic leaders scream bloody murder and say that's not what we believe, but it is.

When I state the facts about the Muhammadan heaven and the seventy-two perpetual virgins given the men that kill for for Muhammad, the Islamic leaders cry and holler and whine and send letters and say that's not what we believe.

Now listen to me.

The Bible says that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, and no man cometh unto the Father but by him.

That's what the Bible says.

America is full of cowardly, spineless, Bible denying, compromising preachers who call themselves Christians, but who will not state biblical truth because they are embarrassed and they don't want to risk upsetting John Q.

Public.

They would rather convert someone under false pretenses than to tell someone the truth and let God do the job.

Now, if I was embarrassed or ashamed to tell you what the Holy Bible says about Jesus Christ, I would quit pretending, I wouldn't pretend to be a Christian, I would quit preaching anything that had to do with Christianity.

If I was embarrassed or ashamed of the doctrines of my faith, I would cease to embrace and proclaim that faith.

And I don't care who you are, I don't care if you're a Seventh-day Adventist who will not identify yourself and your literature on the radio.

I don't care if you're a Roman Catholic who doesn't want America to know what you really believe in Italy, Portugal, and Bolivia.

I don't care if you're a Mormon who doesn't want people in the South to know what you really believe out there in Utah, or if you're a Muslim who is trying his dead level best to keep the Muslim religion of Iran and Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and Afghanistan from being revealed to the people of America, I want to say to you, if you're ashamed of or embarrassed by the teachings and the principles of your religion, why don't you abandon it?

Why would you be part of a religion you have to apologize for?

Why would you be part of a religion you have to keep hidden from public view?

Why don't you just stand up and say, Yes, this is what we believe.

You can like it, you can not like it, but we're not backing down from it, and we're not trying to hide it.

Why don't you be true to your faith?

I'm gonna be true to mine.

There's a lot of people who don't believe in a literal burning hell.

I'm gonna tell you there is one.

The Bible says in Mark chapter 9, there's a literal burning hell.

Mark 9 · chapter mention

The Bible says in Luke chapter 7.

Luke 7 · chapter mention

16, there's a literal burning hell.

Jesus said in Revelation chapter number 20, there's a lake of fire and brimstone, and people are put in that place, and that is not socially acceptable.

That is not appreciated, but I'm not gonna hide it from you just so you'll like my religion.

It's just the way it is, take it or leave it.

There's a narrow way that leads to heaven.

And if the Bible's true, you can't get to heaven being a Baptist, a Methodist, a Presbyterian.

You can't get to heaven being Church of God, Assembly of God, Church of Christ, Assembly of Christ.

You can't get to heaven being Pentecostal, fundamentalist, you can't get to heaven being Protestant or Catholic.

You can only get to heaven by faith in Jesus Christ.

That offends a lot of people.

That rubs a lot of people the wrong way.

My response to that?

So what?

I'm not going to deny it or hide it or pretend it's not true, just so you'll like me and like Christians.

Now, if you've got to keep hiding the facts about the Islamic religion from the American people so that they will embrace and accept and approve of the Islamic religion, you are a traitor to your cause.

You're not furthering your cause.

Why are you ashamed of Allah?

Why are you ashamed of what Muhammad taught?

If Muhammad's your prophet, tell us what he said.

Don't be embarrassed about the angel with eyes 70,000 days' journey apart.

Don't be embarrassed about Adam forty-five feet tall.

Don't be embarrassed about cashing your old wife in for a new one when you get to heaven.

If that's what Muhammad said, and Muhammad's your prophet, then stand on it.

Stop hiding.

Stop being embarrassed.

Jesus Christ raised people from the dead.

I'm not ashamed of him.

Jesus Christ threw money changers out of the temple.

I'm not ashamed of him.

Jesus Christ said that he was God manifest in the flesh.

I'm not ashamed of him.

Now you don't have to agree with him.

You don't have to believe him.

You don't have to like what he said.

But I'm not going to try and pretend he didn't say it just to keep you from being offended by my faith and by my religion.

Explain to me why I should embrace Catholicism or Mormonism or Adventism or Mohammedanism when the very people who belong to those religions are embarrassed by parts of those religions.

I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Christ.

I make no apology for Paul saying that idols are vain.

I make no apology for Jesus saying, Call no man on earth your father.

I make no apology for the Lord Jesus Christ saying that heaven and earth shall pass away, but his word shall not pass away.

There's not one thing Jesus said or did or taught that embarrasses me.

There's not one thing the apostles wrote that embarrass me.

I'll teach it all.

I'll declare all the counsel of God.

Why do your leaders keep coming on TV and telling us that Muhammad didn't promise eternal life to those who killed infidels in his name when we both know he did?

And if Muhammad's your prophet, don't apologize for that.

Don't be embarrassed by it.

Tell the whole world.

Jesus said, I'm coming again.

You know how many people believe that?

A very small percentage.

You know how much I care about whether or not they believe that or agree with that or like that or don't like that?

Zero.

Jesus Christ said he's coming again.

I believe it.

I'm telling you he's coming again.

I'm not embarrassed by that.

Put me on TV, I'll tell them.

Put me on the news, I'll tell them.

Interview me on Meet the Press, I'll tell them.

If Muhammad's your prophet and you're following Muhammad, then tell everybody what he said.

And if you're embarrassed about what he said or ashamed of what he said or trying to hide what he said because it's not socially acceptable, you're a compromiser.

Now, how do you like that?

I can't believe you're talking to me that way.

If you'd come to church on a Sunday morning, you'd hear me talk to my best friends that way.

That's just my responsibility.

You've got yours, I've got mine.

I don't hate you, I don't dislike you.

I don't wish you any ill will.

I'd love to see you get saved, born again, go to heaven, have eternal life.

I hope God causes you have to get saved to prosper in spirit and in soul and in body.

But you've got no credibility with me if you're hiding what you believe because you think the news media won't like it.

I got no respect for that.

You send me letters and say, Well, that's not really our position.

Well, then your position's not the position of Muhammad.

And I don't I don't understand that.

I don't get it.

Well, praise the Lord.

Hallelujah.

Jesus saves.

Christ the Lord is risen from the dead.

Jesus saves sinners.

The blood of Jesus Christ, his son, cleanseth us from all sin.

Hallelujah.

Glory to God.

I'm saved.

I'm going to heaven.

And I love you.

If you live next door to me, I'd be good to you.

I'd treat you right.

I wouldn't steal from you, wouldn't lie to you, wouldn't cheat you.

I'd treat you with respect and dignity.

And I wouldn't believe your religion.

Okay?

How's that?
