CNN - CHURCH PLANS QURAN-BURNING EVENT

CNN Church plans Quran-burning event

In this report by CNN some of the comments on Face Book reflect the respectfulness and thoughtfulness of others and utter ignorance of some, hiding behind “free-speech.”

For me, Jesus Christ is the Son of God and God the Son, but I know my Lord would not want me to participate in this madness!

We have more than a hundred thousand soldiers in Afghanistan and many more in other countries, fighting and dying everyday to protect our way of life, and I wonder if the people who thought up this idea of “burning the Quran,” even thought for one second about the adverse effect it would have on our Soldiers! That essentially in a metaphoric sense is that they are going to be throwing jet fuel on a burning building, and that burning building are our Soldiers!

Free-Will and Freedom of Speech are inalienable gifts afforded us and as such, we should use both respectfully and wisely. Every day the word “Democracy” is espoused millions of times, but I wonder, just wonder, how many people even know the true meaning of the word. Merriam Webster says that “Democracy means – “to respect others even when you disagree with them.”

The action of burning the Quran is how people separate themselves from Almighty God! God does not need you to defend Him, He is Omnipotent! If you are going to be a part of "saving souls" you are sure going about it the wrong way.

Jesus said: "Love thy neighbor as you love yourself." Can you look deep into your soul and say without equivocation that God inspired you to do this? Putting fire to what others believe is condemning them! “Jesus also said: “Judge not lest ye be judged, for by the measure you judge, it should be measured back unto you!”

Rather than engage in this phantasmagoric rationale and internecine ideas, why don’t you “get down on your knees and pray for the people you are condemning by this vulgar action!” But first you should ask forgiveness for profaning the name of Lord.

People often doubt what you say but they always believe what you do, and what you are doing is wrong, morally and spiritually wrong! For there is no wrong way to do right and no right way to do wrong!
