Is that the root today's Christianity ..I mean look at that ancient Egyptian pagan symbol..

Why Do Christians Wear The Cross?

WAS IT A CROSS IN JESUS' TIME that the authorities used to nail outlaws on?or was it done simply by tree hanging?

Peter and Paul use the word XY'LON to refer to the torture instrument upon which the crucifixion took place, and this argues that it was an UPRIGHT STAKE WITHOUT A CROSSBEAM, for that is what XY'LON in this special sense means. (Acts 5:30; 10:39; 13:29; Galatians 3:13; I Peter 2:24) At Ezra 6:11 we find XY'LON in the Greek Septuagint (I Esdras 6:31), and there it is spoken of as a BEAM on which the violator of law was to be hanged, the same as in:*Acts 13:29 "And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him ,they took him down from the TREE ,and laid him in a sepulchre"*Galatians 3:13 "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law ,being made a curse for us : for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a TREE"*I Peter 2:24 " Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the TREE that we being dead to sins should live unto righteousness : by whose stripes ye were healed "*Luke 23:39;"And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him saying ;If thou be Christ save thyself and us "*Acts 5:30; "The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom ye slew and hanged on a TREE"*Acts 10:39."and we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem whom they slew and hanged on a TREE"

TREE HANGING IN Genesis & DEUTERONOMY IS A FORM OF CRUCIFIXION *Genesis 40:19 " within yet three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee."
*Deuteronomy 21:23 his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt surely bury him the same day; for he that is hanged is a reproach unto God; that thou defile not thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
BTW : Deut 21:23 was one of the reasons why Jews rejected the one they thought to be Jesus .


So should Christians start wearing a " Tree " instead of the "Cross" that never was?

Contradiction Between Classical Judaism & Zionism

Babylonian Talmud, tractate Ketuboth 111

Jews should not rebel against non-Jews, as a group should not massively emigrate to Palestine before the coming of the Messiah.


The Haredi objection to Zionism is based upon the contradiction between classical Judaism, of which the Haredim are the continuators, and Zionism. Numerous Zionist historians have unfortunately obfuscated the issues here. Some detailed explanation is therefore necessary. In a famous talmudic passage in Tractate Ketubot, page 111, which is echoed in other parts of the Talmud, God is said to have imposed three oaths on the Jews. Two of these oaths that clearly contradict Zionist tenets are: 1) Jews should not rebel against non-Jews, and 2) as a group should not massively emigrate to Palestine before the coming of the Messiah. (The third oath, not discussed here, enjoins the Jews not to pray too strongly for the coming of the Messiah, so as not to bring him before his appointed time.) During the course of post-talmudic Jewish history, rabbis extensively discussed the three oaths. Of major concern in this discussion was the question of whether or not specific Jewish emigration to Palestine was part of the forbidden massive emigration. During the past 1,500 years, the great majority of traditional Judaism's most important rabbis interpreted the three oaths and the continued existence of the Jews in exile as religious obligations intended to expiate the Jewish sins that caused God to exile them.

Holocaust In Yemen ..

From its introduction to Nadjrâne, the christianity had to undergo assaults of masters that reigned on the yémen ; they had probably to consider that the new religion brought in their States a ferment of disintegration, against which their threatened authority had necessarily to react. In Sanaa, Dhou-Nowâs , the restorer of the hymiarite magnitude , was converted to judaism, that he tempted to impose on his subjects. Following Ibn -al - Kalbi(102), the murder of two Jews, perpetrated by residents of Nadjrâne provides to Dhou-Nowâs the pretext that he waited to attack the city, that finishes by rendering, after a long siege, on the faith of an oath that lent Dhou-Nowâs to insure to residents the safe life and the integrity of their goods. But hardly was he in possession of the place, that the king divested them their wealth and gave them the choice between the judaism and the death. Nadjranites preferred the death. In the woodshed, lighted to the bottom of a long ditch ( okhdoud ) filled with combustible materials, Christians were precipitated. Others perished by the sword. The number of victims, according to Ibn-Ishâq(103), would have increased to twenty thousand persons, men, women and children. The terror that this act of cruelty inspired in Arabia, has reverberated later in the Koran (Sourat 85, 4-8)(104). It had to be the cause of the foreign intervention in the Yémen and to cost to Dhou-Nowâs the loss of his throne. With the instigation of the basileus, that provides it ships, an army of seventy thousand Abyssins, ordered by Aryât, beside of which was found already Abraha, the Axoumite of the chronic Muslims, crossed the Red Sea to 525 and conquit the Yémen. AT THE END OF a last battle that delivered his troops, Dhou-Nowâs, beat and desperate, pushed his horse in the sea and he drowns in. The hymiarite empire ended with him. Aryât, to insure his domination on the Yémen and Nadjrâne, made shave walls of cities and weigh on residents a regime of iron, that finishes by making them regret the time where the yémen was governed by princes of their race. Shaken by unceasing revolts of their subjects, the domination of Abyssins was elsewhere of courte duration. It is in this interval that places the attempt of the abyssin chief , Abraha al Achram, successor of Aryât, to conquer the territory of Mecca. A church, constructed in Sanaa, had to divert to its profit the great movement of pilgrimage, that attracted all years to the Black Stone Arabs of the Peninsula. To throw the discredit on this church, that risked to bankrupt its compatriots, a Mecquois soiled it with garbages, Abraha swore to destroy the Kaaba. The expedition that it directed, to the head of the elephant that it climbed, was stopped ahead the holy City; his army was knocked, according to authors, a rain of stones that carried in their beaks of Ababill birds (1O5). The Koran has preserved in its verses the echo of the indignation that raised Mecca against the abyssine threat (Sourate. 105, 1 and next.)(lO6).

Poem : No Bravery

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
Tears drying on their face.
He has been here.
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
Fathers lost without a trace.
A nation blind to their disgrace,
Since he's been here.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here
.Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel and accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Yes, he has been here.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness

"COLLAPSED" ...is the operative word

For those of you who speak the Arabic language:
please look at Surah # 9 of the Quran( Altawbah) & count 2001 words from the beginning -----> you'll reach chapter # 11
From there count an additional 10+5 words( South tower COLLAPSED at 10:05) THEN count an additional10+10 words ( Pentagon partially COLLAPSED at 10:10) THEN count an additional 10+28 words ( North tower COLLAPSED at 10:28) :you'll reach subchapter ( Hezb) #21 of the Quran AND you'll be looking at the word "COLLAPSED = " FANHARA" in Arabic ..& that word was mentioned once in the Quran
Put all the numbers together :
9 ,
11,
2001,
21st "century",
10:05 "EDT",
10:10 "EDT",
10:25 "EDT"
& COLLAPSED came to pass ..
COINCIDENCE? I think not ..we are looking at a Quranic miracle foretold 1400 years in advance ..what else does this great Holy Book have in store for us i wonder?

I know some of you will be tempted to say " Quran made the terrorists do it " ..but how on earth could the terrorists manipulate the collapse times ? impossible ..

OPPOSING TERRORISM

OPPOSING TERRORISM
Muslims in U.S. wary of protestsWhat would marches against extremism achieve?By Shahed AmanullahJuly 29, 2007


In the eyes of some, the greatest fault of Muslim-Americans since 9/11 has been a collective failure to make a strong statement against terrorism. Not satisfied with the hundreds of condemnations and fatwas that Muslims have issued since that dark day, people call for a more dramatic Muslim response to the rise of global extremism in the name of Islam.An oft-suggested response is for Muslims to stage a march against terrorism, one that would mirror the "angry Muslim street" that people are so familiar with from news footage. After all, what better way to stare down Al Qaeda and the rest of the extremists than to show them that we've got an even bigger group of angry Muslims right here, on America's side?Put aside for now a central question of why Muslims as a group should be required to prove themselves opposed to the barbaric shedding of innocent blood. Nobody suggests, for example, that Catholics must take to the streets to protest pedophilia among the clergy. Instead, the focus in the pedophilia scandals is on those criminally responsible. Law enforcement is involved, and the larger Catholic community is given the latitude to fix its problems.The Muslim-American community yearns for this kind of rational response.But even if we Muslim-Americans were able to pull off a grand protest -- and that's a big if -- would it do anything to curtail the rise of extremism? Would the terrorists care what we thought? More important, would such an action make the average non-Muslim American feel more secure?Muslims are understandably wary of any public displays of our anger toward extremism. For one, such a display would reinforce a tired stereotype: the "Rage Boy" Muslim who can find expression only by pouring into the streets.But the biggest reason behind a reluctance to march is that many Muslims see it as a setup for failure. Even if a march drew tens of thousands, would that mean that only those marching oppose terrorism? In the current climate of suspicion, the rest of the 2 million to 3 million Muslim-Americans would be portrayed as pro-terror.Take the demoralizing effect of years of suspicion, alienation and hostility that have been absorbed by Muslims in our role as a proxy for those "over there"; work in the geographic spread of Muslims in the U.S. -- we have no Muslim ghettos like the ones in Europe; and combine that with a lack of the organizing skills needed to pull off a demonstration, and you can easily see why such an event is doomed.A weak turnout would confirm for some the presence of a Muslim "fifth column" in the United States. The cycle of mistrust and fear would worsen.But if one still wishes to see mass protests against extremism by Muslims -- well, they have already happened, usually in response to tragic attacks. After all, Muslims themselves are still the most likely to be terror victims, whether it is in Bali or Baghdad.So, too, have authoritative scholars issued rulings against the use of political violence. But these actions have occurred in Muslim-majority countries such as Morocco, Turkey and Pakistan. And yet the violence continues.The sad truth is that hardened extremists are immune to this kind of pressure, and deep down, we all know it.Muslim-Americans have proven to be a lawful and productive community that believes in -- and lives by -- the American dream. These millions of Muslims feel they deserve better than to be used as a shield between America and Al Qaeda. There was much talk after 9/11 of America standing united in the face of terror. Singling out Muslims to protest in this way contradicts that noble response.Despite all this, Muslims in the U.S. do have a responsibility and a unique role in combating extremism. And it requires a comprehensive approach. It requires that Muslims identify and counsel those with identity issues who are most susceptible to extremist thought. It requires transparent and respectful cooperation between Muslim communities and our government, both of whom share the goal of keeping America safe. It requires that Muslims -- like all Americans -- keep an eye out for suspicious activity and have a zero-tolerance policy against extremist rhetoric.Many initiatives with these goals in mind already are quietly under way, because sometimes the most effective strategy isn't the one with the highest profile. These efforts require more of a commitment than a two-hour walk down Main Street.For these to succeed, it requires that the Muslim-Americans who engage in this struggle feel that our fellow citizens are covering our back, not standing on it.
