THE OFFER OF LIFE OR DEATH
A senior Iranian cleric, Mohammad Abolghassem Doulabi, revealed that 50,000 out of 75,000 mosques nationwide had been closed due to a significant decline in attendance.
That's almost 70 percent of their mosques!😯
Massive protests in Iran in recent years and open defiance of Islamic regulations, especially for women, proves there is a great dissatisfaction with the draconian religion of Islam. Many young people today in the Middle East are struggling to connect to a religion that has been forced upon on them.
Why would anyone accept a forced deity??
Actually, the right to choose our faith is a divine one granted by the one true Christian God. The cleric blames economics but clearly its deeper than that.
👉🏻Deuteronomy 30:19-20: "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I HAVE SET BEFORE YOU life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore CHOOSE life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”
👉🏻Joshua 24:15: And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, CHOOSE FOR YOURSELVES this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
Even though there are consequences for not choosing the God of Israel, the choice is still ours. Why people would call this "force" instead of a choice is beyond me. If someone told you a hurricane was coming and gave you directions toward safety, would that be force??
The living Bible explains what is going to happen to this world, so of course He wants us to choose life and to live with Him forever!
🔥 THE WORLD MAY LAUGH BUT ETERNITY IS COMING 🔥
So if you don't choose Him, then your choice is made to continue living as a stranger. But in the end, God is not going to allow strangers in His house.
