2 Corinthians 13
5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your
own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 6 But I trust that
ye shall know that we are not reprobates. 7 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that
we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as
reprobates. 8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. 9 For we are glad,
when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.

Galatians 3:2
This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the
hearing of faith?

Noble Qur'an Al-Baqara 2:256
There shall be no compulsion in religion: true guidance has become distinct from error. But whoever refuses to be led by
Satan and believes in God has grasped the strong handhold that will never break. God is all hearing and all knowing. (256)

While the verses from the apostles Paul were approved by strictly monotheistic faithful
slave, the verse from Qur'an exposes the wrong method of enforcing Islam as monotheistic
faith which is being promoted by entities such as the so-called "Islamic State".

While the name is changed to ISIS, the name of Egyptian goddess, wife-sister of Oziris, the methods stayed the same: fear of death and fear of Hell.

From Almighty, Merciful Lord of the Worlds remained only the aspect to kill or murder.
Such methods do not instill Faith, as the apostle Paul said that the Faith comes
by hearing, and hearing by preaching, and preaching by the ministers of God being sent.
(Except for several examples when the holy prophet Isaiah virtually sent himself in
all-out apostasy of Biblical Israel. Isaiah was not a marginal prophet - nor there is
such - but he prophesied birth of Messiah by a virgin.)

Cults with ritual executions and murders create cringe obedience, even to be sent to
death, but this does not warrant salvation of soul - because it is obedience to cult
leader, not to the Prophet (PBUH) or to God Creator, Almighty, Merciful, Lord of the Words.

As faith in a person or idol other than God Almighty can support the soul only to
the worshipped person or object, this is not faith unto salvation, but cringe obedience
to the human authority, or a mind-programmed brainwashing cult.

As in scholars describing the communist brainwashing of Korean war prisoners, the
Allied forces did not execute the captives, but the emphasis was on deprogramming
them and on the restorative justice, as majority of what they did was not an act of
the free will (but this is individual and only discerned by the Holy Spirit of God:
people without the Spirit of God and Grace of God can only create a witch hunt.)

As Abrahamic sacrifice is only valid if kurban is respected, and not made a common
thing bought for money, there is no remission of blood sins if kurban is violated
or disdained for profit sake.

Compare to the epistle to Hebrews:

Hebrews 9:22 KJV
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood
is no remission.

Now, it is clear that God wants the sacrifice like that of Abel and Abraham, giving
their most precious possession. In Abel's case that was the best and the dearest of
his flock. In case of Abraham, it was his only left son, which was substituted by
a ram supernaturally provided by an angel of the LORD (Genesis 22:13, 1-18).

The emphasis in the salvation of God is not on transactional "quid pro quo" religion:
five pillars of Faith, seven halals, and we're even.

The scholars emphasise the mission of the apostle Paul. Now, I will speak about this
because it is useful to knowledge, despite he is not appreciated in most of the schools
of Islamic thought. Yet, the faithful slave offers completely monotheistic aspect of
the apostle Paul.

Even more, we see that there are very few manuscripts from before the Nicean "Trinity"
council in 325 CE that proclaimed faith in One God an Aryan heresy. There are Qumran
scrolls from before that time, but they are available and readable by a very small
circle.

But in the Book of Acts, it is visible that the cirumcised (and by that time those
were only the Israelites) followed Paul to Lystra, and made Greeks stone Paul just
a short while after willing to sacrifice bull to Paul and Barnabas, thinking that they
were gods (Zeus and Hermes).

This emphasises the strength of mind control and programming.

Already Solomon in Ecclesiastes 10:20 mentions that man in Israel was not free to
speak in his bedroom, or in his thought, and this did not improve with the worship
of Baal, Astarte, Moloch and ritual male and female prostitution cults that have
origin in Canaan. (Or earlier, in Summerian culture, because they are already present
in the oldest preserved peace of literature - epic of Gilgamesh).

Apostatic people sponaneously return to the worship of golden calf, golems, Moloch
the child devouring demon, and demon fertility gods of Baal and Astarte.

Faith and valor are being replaced with cringe obedience and indoctrination, with
mind control.

In ritual sanctified prostitutes you often do not see lewdness as a property of a
whore, but they start as obedient daughters thinking they are serving the LORD if
they obey the authority of the cult.

As the prophet says:

Hosea 4:14
I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.

Repeating again, while Prophet (PBUH) uprooted many pagan customs of the Qureshi
tribe, many superstitions were later returned. But it is evident that the Prophet
(PBUH) understood the mission of Messiah prophesied by Isaiah 53:12b

Isaiah 53:12b
... and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

The Hebrews words used for "transgressors" and "intercession" are these:

pasha: To rebel, transgress
paga: To meet, encounter, entreat, intercede, strike, reach

The mission of the prophets of the LORD was never to exterminate those who were misled or deceived. To explain, in wars, for example, there are lose-lose choices:
to march in a human wave towards dragon teeth and fortified machine gun nest, or
to get shot in the back for cowardice.

There are also many born in circumstances where the true Word of God was not available, nor the credible teachers.

The prophets never even wanted to exterminate all non-Hebrews, for Jonah preached
to Nineveh, Elisha healed Namaan the leprous general from his leprosy, Ruth was accepted upon conversion to faith in One God of Abraham and became the ancestor of David and ancestor of Messiah Jesus (Isa).

During Jesus' ministry, much of his mission - aside from healing miracles - was examination of Faith. He encouraged people to critically think and evaluate faith
in understanding and through the parables.

One of the greatest was his notion that the widow who gave two coins had contributed
more than rich people giving thousand denars. Today it is common to believe that
rich people are the best believers, giving most to building of the place of worship.

But Jesus had overthrown the tables of those who sold sacrificial animals and changed
currency within the Temple? Why is that?

It gave the impression that it is sufficient to come to the Temple with enough money, and more sins will be forgiven. Rich people appeared closer to God.

In some languages like some Slavonic languages, "rich" is still being translated like
"bogat", which has "bog" or God in itself. This leads to conclusion that the Slavonic people thought of the wealthy as being "full of God".

In communism, they virtually claimed to be such, but the only aspect of divine was
that they could enslave people in mind control and/or cause sudden death, accient
or rapid illness or cancer.

Unfortunately, this persisted to the present day, and was most prevalent with the
past of Ephraim which generationally served Moloch since the Tabernacle of Meeting.

This forced holy Moses to already in desert try to stop this apostasy:

Leviticus 18:21 KJV
And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech,
neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.

Acts 7:43 KJV
Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

Soon after those words, Stephen the first martyr was stoned with witnesses,
for the Israelites thought they are doing the work of God. They persited in this until the Path of the new teaching was completely eradicated in Jerusalem and Judea, except for diaspora.

Romans 5:14 KJV
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of
him that was to come.

While Paul keeps central emphasis on Christ, it is worthwhile to notice that the verse brings distinction between those who are the children of Belial
and those who sinned out of bondage to fear and death:

Hebrews 2:14-15 KJV
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he
also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Religion will often preserve ritual and rites, but find conversion offensive and subject to uprooting, labeled as heresy and extinguished. Naturally, the converts who repent from sins and beget the Holy Spirit are unwelcomed witnesses to the corruption of the priesthood and clergy.

Therefore, as the prophet said "I desire mercy and not sacrifice",
for "heathens and pagans sacrifice to demons and not to God" (1 Corinthians 10:20).

Now, as the Devil can immitate any rite or ritual, he is defined as The Unmerciful
One (Proverbs 5:9). Devil bitterly defies reconciliation of sinners and transgressors
to God, even with slanders while they are already in grave and cannot defend themselves.

Devil in the person of Prince of Tyre had become arrogant because of neglecting wisdom for profit and dishonest trade sake (Ezekiel 28).

Indeed, the entire mankind became such that a man had to be rich or needs to have
status or title to be believed. This doesn't come from One God of Abraham, for He
is not a respector of persons, as witnesses by the apostle Peter (Acts 10:34).

The idea that witnessing God or sin to a rich, powerful or influential person must perish for witnessing or pointing to sin comes from Nimrod, Summerian culture,
Egyptian pharaohs, and numerous cults of personality after them.

The idea that a man made of corruptible flesh can be inerrant and infallible is forged in Hell as arrogance (Latin Vulgata: suberbia). Even computers have glitches.

The lie of infallible human leadership leads to extermination of everyone who can notice it, just like Chairman Mao's "war on four pests" was followed by the "cultural revolution" in which the old cultural elite appears to have disappeared,
together with majority of religious and cultural tradition.

The enforcement on human infallibility goes as far as letting millions starve when
prescribed collecting harvest levy for the petolyetka in bad harvest years, rather
than admitting error: now, even the Pharaoh of Egypt in time of Joseph understood
that the good and bad years were result of the supernatural will or causes outside
of his decision-making.

The cult of personality and planned economy went into greater worship of man-idol
than the Egpytians.

Many cults also use sexual abuse as the means to increase mind control, like regretably happened in Abu Ghraib. This however served no liberty, democracy or freedom. Just like the birth deformities in newborn children of Afghanistan, Iraq
and Fallujah, caled "Cyclops babies" in the Western sources.

Studying mass psychology of the 1930-ies leads to the conclusion that such sexual
abuse and cults together with ritual executions are not accidental, but serve to
produce certain type of obedience that is greater than that of the Hebrew slaves
in Egypt.

2 Corinthians 3:17
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

It is evident that God doesn't want robots, machines, human waves, MK-ULTRAs, programmed assassins, and despises all of that. In the words of Jesus: "Whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. If the son sets you free, you shall be free indeed."

Now, from esthetical point of view, like the pet who loves you and comes to you because you cared for him is better to have than that you must keep in a cage not
to run away - so is the choice of God by the free will, understanding of the Ten Commandments and why mercy is better than execution of repenting sinners
or "them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage." (Hebrews 2:15).

Some cults of death worship death and picture themselves next to heap of skulls.
That can create fear and obedience, but this has nothing to do with free men loving God and willing to suffer to do the right thing (Commandments, justice, mercy, and the Law of God).

in the LORD God Creator of the Universe, Maker of Heaven and Earth, Maker of Adam and Eve,
Almighty (El-Shaddai), Merciful, Longsuffering (Slow to anger),
All-Seeing (El-Roi), All-Hearing (Yishma-El), All-Knowing (El-Deowt), in the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth and
in the Holy Ghost of God holy name
Amen
