More Muslims Than Christians Die

Chapter 1

Someone might say, "But Fred, everyone dies."

Yes, everyone will eventually die, except for the Christians that go up in "The Rapture," as per 1 Thess 4:16,17--

 16 "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first,
 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we always be with the Lord."

But no, I'm not talking about the eventual death that most people will die, I'm talking about Muslims dying in much greater numbers than Christians, prior to having lived out a normal life.  

It is only necessary to watch the evening news.

Today's evening news showed footage of the results of an air strike overnight in Aleppo, Syria to the TV viewers.

A Muslim man there was weeping while digging through the rubble with his bare hands, looking for survivors that might be in a collapsed building.  

It was thought that the air strike came from the ruling regime in Syria under the Dictator, Assad.  

Apparently, Russia is providing military assistance to Assad.  

I've heard that Syria is one of the main buyers of military equipment from Russia.

One of the buildings destroyed was a "Doctors Without Borders" hospital.  

Syria is a mainly Muslim nation plagued with civil war that has been causing many people to die, and many thousands of people to flee from Syria into other nations.

In their efforts to flee, Muslims are getting aboard boats that are winding up sunk in the Mediterranean Sea, partly because of overcrowding, and partly because of poor quality boats.  

Indonesia is a predominantly Muslim nation where they have a way above average number of natural disasters such as earthquakes and tidal waves.  

Many Muslim nations are plagued with earthquakes and famines.  

The mainly Muslim nation of Malaysia has had a significant number of airliner disasters for Malaysian Airlines.  

Why would it be that Muslims have such a high death rate compared to Christians? 

I believe the answer is not at all complicated.  

The Muslim's God, Allah, does a terrible job of helping his people, especially compared to the job that God the Father and Jesus, in heaven, and also the angels, are doing to help the Jews and Christians. 

There is even the question of whether such a being exists as Allah.

But if there is a spirit being named Allah, then I expect that Allah is one of the demons, the fallen angels that rebelled against God when Satan did.  

And if you have a demon as your God, then you very much have the wrong religion, and are on the road to hell, where there's crying and gnashing of teeth, where their worms don't die, and where the fire is never quenched, says Jesus.   

I've been a student of Theology since my youth, and also, the Lord has chosen me to be one of his Priests.  

In the Bible, God is never referred to as Allah.  

Chapter 2

Let's compare the Muslim god, Allah, to the Judeo-Christian God.  

There are numerous examples in the Bible where God decided to kill people for their wickedness.  

At Noah's flood, where everyone in the world died except for the eight souls that were on Noah's ark. (Genesis chapt 6) 

Er, and Onan, sons of Judah. (Genesis chapt 38)

Korah and two hundred fifty princes that rebelled against Moses, that God swallowed up in a sinkhole. (Num chapt 16) 

But it seems that if the Muslim God of the Islamic religion wants someone dead, he needs a human to go get the job done.  

Someone to go and be a suicide bomber, or Muslim terrorist.  

Thus, the real God is much stronger than Allah, if there is an Allah.  

In the Bible, God's people have promises of protection.

One of the Ten Commandments (Exo chapt 20) is to Honor your Father and Mother, and you'll have long life.

Psalm 1:3 promises that whatever we do will prosper.

"I am the Lord that heals you." (Exo 15:26)

A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it won't come near you. (Psa 91:7)

 8 O bless our God, you people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard,
 9 Who holds our soul in life, and doesn't allow our feet to be moved. (from Psalm 66)

They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, and in the days of famine they'll be satisfied. (Psa 37:19)

If God is for us, who can be against us? (Rom 8:31)

But the Muslims don't seem to have those protections. 

One of the problems that Muslims have is the hatred between two different sects of Muslims for each other:  the Sunnis and the Shias.  

Among Christians, the Pentecostals are not trying to murder the Baptists, and vice versa.  

But among the Muslims, if you're thought to be of the wrong sect, you could get murdered for that.  

The Muslims refer to their Islamic god as the Creator.  

No, God the Father and Jesus are the Creators (Gen chapt 1, Heb 1:2), and Allah does not have a son, Jesus.  

And here is another piece of evidence that shows that God and Allah are not the same.  

The real God says, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." (Rom 12:19)

But the Muslims believe in avenging themselves.  

The real God says not to bear false witness (don't lie) in the Ten Commandments. (Exo chapt 20)

But the Muslims believe it's right to lie to "the Infidels" (the non-Muslims.)

The Muslims say that Jesus is one of their prophets, but the Muslims are quite ignorant of what the Prophet Jesus has said.

A Muslim neighbor of mine in Houston, TX didn't even know that Jesus said he's the Son of God.  

Jesus said that to the Jewish High Priest. (Mrk 14:61,62)

And Jesus said that to his disciples. (Matt chapt 16)

Many Muslims are dying prematurely by choosing to be suicide bombers, because they are taught that they'll go directly to heaven by dying as Muslim martyrs.  

That teaching is false, of course, because the Bible says, "No murderer has eternal life abiding in him." (1 John 3:15)

Eternal life and going to heaven are the same thing.  

And one of God's Ten Commandments is "You shall not commit murder." (Exo chapt 20)

Jesus said, "You MUST be born again." (John chapt 3)

To become a born again Christian, obey Romans 10:9,10--

"That if you confess the Lord Jesus with your mouth, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you're saved.  For with the heart man believes for righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made for salvation."


___James chapter 1
 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes that are dispersed around, greetings.
 2 My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into various temptations,
 3 Knowing this, that the testing of your faith works patience.
 4 But let patience have its perfect work, so you'll be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God for it, who gives to all men liberally, and won't find fault, and it shall be given to him.
 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.  For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.
 7 For let that man not think that he'll receive anything from the Lord.
 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
 9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted,
 10 But the rich, in that he is made low, because as the flower of the grass he'll pass away.
 11 For the sun has no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withers the grass, and the flower of it falls, and the grace of the fashion of it perishes, so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
 12 Blessed is the man that endures temptation, for after he's been tested, he'll receive the crown of life, that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted with evil, nor does he tempt any man,
 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
 15 Then when lust has conceived, it produces sin, and sin when it's finished, produces death.
 16 Do not err, my beloved brothers.
 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, nor shadow of turning.
 18 He chose to father us with the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
 19 So, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
 20 For the anger of man doesn't accomplish the righteousness of God.
 21 So, lay apart all filthiness and the unnecessary naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man seeing his natural face in a mirror,
 24 For he sees himself, and goes his way, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
 25 But whoever looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues in it, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
 26 If any man among you seems to be religious, and doesn't bridle his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is for nothing.
 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

___James chapter 2
 1 My brothers, don't have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
 2 For if a man with a gold ring comes to your assembly in fancy clothes, and a poor man in dirty clothes comes in also,
 3 And you have respect to him that wears the fancy clothes, and say to him, "Sit here in a good place," and say to the poor, "Stand there, or sit here under my footstool,"
 4 Aren't you then partial in yourselves, and have become judges with evil thoughts?
 5 Listen, my beloved brothers, hasn't God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love him?
 6 But you have despised the poor.  Don't rich men oppress you, and bring you before the judgment seats?
 7 Don't they blaspheme that worthy name by which you're called?
 8 If you fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, "You shall love your neighbor like yourself," you do well,
 9 But if you have respect of persons, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as sinners.
 10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
 11 For he that said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not kill."  Now if you don't commit adultery, yet if you kill, you've become a breaker of the law.
 12 Speak in such a way, and do, as those who'll be judged by the law of liberty.
 13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that has shown no mercy, and mercy rejoices against judgment.
 14 What does it profit, my brothers, though a man says he has faith, and doesn't have works?  Can faith save him?
 15 If a brother or sister needs clothes, and lacks daily food,
 16 And one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you don't give them the things that are needed for the body, what good is that?
 17 Even so faith, if it doesn't have works, is dead, being alone.
 18 Yes, a man could say, "You have faith, and I have works, show me your faith without your works, and I'll show you my faith by my works."
 19 You believe that there is one God, you do well, the devils also believe, and tremble.
 20 But don't you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
 21 Wasn't Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son on the altar?
 22 Do you see how faith worked with his deeds, and by works faith was made perfect?
 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness, and he was called the friend of God."
 24 You see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
 25 Likewise also wasn't Rahab the prostitute justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
 26 For like the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

___James chapter 3
 1 My brothers, don't be many masters, knowing that we'll receive the greater condemnation.
 2 For in many things we offend all.  If any man doesn't offend in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
 3 See, we put bits in the horses' mouths, so they'll obey us, and we turn around their whole bodies.
 4 Look also at the ships, which though they're so large, and are driven by fierce winds, yet they're turned around by a very small helm, wherever the captain wants.
 5 Even so, the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things.  See how great a matter a little fire kindles!
 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of sin, so is the tongue among our members that it makes dirty the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and it is set on fire by hell.
 7 For every kind of animals, and of birds, and of snakes, and of things in the sea, gets tamed, and has been tamed by mankind,
 8 But no man can tame the tongue, it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
 9 With it we bless God, the Father, and with it we curse men, who are made after the likeness of God.
 10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing.  My brothers, these things ought not to be.
 11 Does a fountain send out at the same place sweet water and bitter?
 12 Can the fig tree, my brothers, produce olive berries?  Or a vine, figs?  So no fountain can yield both salt water and fresh.
 13 Who is a wise man, possessing knowledge among you?  Let him show out of a good lifestyle his works with meekness of wisdom.
 14 But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, don't glory, and don't lie against the truth.
 15 This wisdom doesn't descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be reasoned with, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
 18 And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace by those who make peace.

___James chapter 4
 1 Where do wars and fightings among you come from?  Don't they come from your lusts that war in your members?
 2 You lust, and don't have, you kill, and desire to have, and can't obtain, you fight and war, yet you don't have, because you don't ask.
 3 You ask, and don't receive, because you ask wrongly, so you can consume it on your lusts.
 4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God?  Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world is an enemy of God.
 5 Do you think that the scripture says for nothing, "The spirit that lives in us lusts to envy?"
 6 But he gives more grace.  So he says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God.  Resist the devil, and he'll run away from you.
 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.  Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double minded.
 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and cry, let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he'll lift you up.
 11 Don't speak evil about each other, brothers.  He that speaks evil about his brother, and judges his brother, speaks evil about the law, and judges the law, but if you judge the law, you're not a doer of the law, but a judge.
 12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy, who are you that judges someone else?
 13 Go on now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we'll go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and make a profit,"
 14 Actually, you don't know what will happen tomorrow.  For what is your life?  It is a puff of steam, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.
 15 For you ought to say, "Lord willing, we'll live, and do this, or that."
 16 But now you rejoice in your boastings, all such rejoicing is evil.
 17 Therefore to him that knows to do good, and doesn't do it, to him it is sin.

___James chapter 5
 1 Go on now, you rich men, cry and howl for your miseries that shall come on you.
 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your clothes are moth eaten.
 3 Your gold and silver are rusted, and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh like fire.  You've heaped treasure together for the last days.
 4 See, the wages of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which you've kept back by fraud, shouts, and the shouts of those who've reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabbath.
 5 You've lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton, you've nourished your hearts, like in a day of slaughter.
 6 You've condemned and killed the just, and he doesn't resist you.
 7 Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord.  See, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and has long patience for it, until he receives the early and latter rain.
 8 You also be patient.  Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is getting near.
 9 Don't grudge against each other, brothers, so you won't be condemned, see, the judge stands at the door.
 10 Take, my brothers, the prophets, who've spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
 11 See, we count them happy that endure.  You've heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
 12 But above all things, my brothers, don't swear, not by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath, but let your yes be yes, and your no, no, so that you don't fall into condemnation.
 13 Is anyone among you afflicted?  Let him pray.  Is anyone merry?  Let him sing psalms.
 14 Is anyone sick among you?  Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord,
 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if he has committed sins, he'll be forgiven.
 16 Confess your faults to each other, and pray for each other so you'll be healed.  The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man is does a lot of good.
 17 Elijah was a man subject to the same kind of passions that we are, and he prayed earnestly that it wouldn't rain, and it didn't rain on the earth for three years and six months.
 18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
 19 Brothers, if any of you strays from the truth, and someone converts him,
 20 Let him know, that he that converts the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
