Hey guys, Colin here, and welcome back to Fight for Truth.
0:03
In this video, we're going to talk about a recent attack on a Christian that was caught on camera during a church livestream.
0:09
Bishop Marmari Emanuel is part of the Assyrian Orthodox Church.
0:13
And by the way, this video has absolutely nothing to do with my doctrinal agreements or disagreements with the
0:20
Because any time that someone is violently attacked for claiming that they believe in Jesus Christ, that ought to
0:26
matter to us as Christians, regardless of other doctrinal disagreements, however important they might be.
0:32
You see, this bishop was brutally attacked by a 16 -year -old with a knife in Australia.
0:37
I'll show you a few blurry photos, but I won't show the whole video, because it's extremely unsettling.
0:42
And as the attack took place, it is reported that the young man shouted, Allahu Akbar, which is a Muslim
0:48
phrase that means, God is great.
0:50
Watch this first -hand video that was captured just after the attack.
0:54
How was the first one to grab you?
0:55
You can't catch that on camera?
0:58
Well, you can just tell me.
1:04
I ran and grabbed him from behind and just pushed him down.
1:07
Oh, that's all his blood.
1:13
He kept saying, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.
1:18
Yeah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.
1:19
So, putting two and two together, we can clearly see that this young man charged at the bishop because of his radical
1:26
The question that no one in the media is willing to answer honestly is simple.
1:31
And the answer is clear, but the pro -multicultural elites don't want you to know it.
1:36
But we're going to say it in this video regardless.
1:38
First, for context, this bishop has come under fire because he said that God took him up to heaven
1:44
and Muhammad wasn't there.
1:47
Let me say this to Andrew Tate.
1:49
If you think that Christians are coward, you are mistaken.
1:54
The Lord, no one else, took me to heaven.
1:57
Let me tell you, there is no Muhammad.
2:09
The only one that truly is who he is is Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
2:15
and this has got nothing to do with Christians or anyone else.
2:18
It's got to do with the truth.
2:20
So essentially, this man is saying that other religious leaders will not be in heaven, including Muhammad,
2:26
because Jesus is the only way to get there, which is undoubtedly true.
2:30
In John 4 .16, Jesus says that no one comes to the Father except through him.
2:35
Regardless of what fake liberal Christians want you to think, there are not multiple ways to heaven, and not
2:41
everyone is going to be saved.
2:43
But this statement is undoubtedly going to frustrate any consistent Muslim, as Muhammad is their most revered
2:50
But in another strange turn of events, there was also a TikTok made regarding the bishop very recently.
2:56
It suggested that, for some reason, he only had two weeks to live.
2:59
Here was his response to that video.
3:01
I was extremely excited when I heard that I have two weeks to live.
3:05
This is not an escape, no.
3:07
I'm saying it with confidence in the Lord Jesus.
3:09
I love you, Lord, and I choose you any time of the day, all day long, to be with
3:16
I don't care about the world and whatever the world gives.
3:18
Now, to be clear, there is no evidence that I've seen yet implying that this two weeks to live message has anything to do
3:25
But it is a strange coincidence, no doubt.
3:28
And his response demonstrates that he genuinely cares more about his belief in God than about his physical life.
3:34
And to top it all off, it is reported that the man actually prayed for his own attacker shortly after the horrible
3:41
An incredible example of loving your enemies, Matthew 5 .44.
3:45
And by the way, try getting that treatment in a Muslim country.
3:48
See how that goes for you.
3:49
But you see, there is one thing about this situation that most Christians seem to be ignoring because of the modern
3:55
standards of political correctness.
3:57
The media and the global elites want you to believe that Islam is best defined as a religion of peace.
4:03
One that, like all religions, simply has a small, tiny strain of fanatics that give it a bad rap.
4:09
But this is simply not the case.
4:11
Islam has, from its very beginnings, been a religion of violent conquest.
4:16
In fact, after Muhammad received his initial visions from his god, Allah, he spent the next 12
4:21
years trying to peacefully convince people to follow his religion in the city of Mecca.
4:27
This preaching was not followed by any real mass conversion, certainly not of the nature that we see later.
4:33
In fact, Muhammad was hated by the people around him, and they eventually forced him out of Mecca.
4:38
It is only after the peaceful years, when he and his followers began to conduct brutal raids against
4:44
non -Muslim tribes, that we finally begin to see mass conversion to Islam.
4:50
Islam has many sacred texts that suggest that, quote, religion cannot be coerced.
4:55
But there are many other passages that say the exact opposite.
4:58
For example, the Quran, in Surah 2, 191, says, quote,.
5:02
And kill them, non -Muslims, wherever you find them.
5:07
Such is the recompense of the disbelievers, non -Muslims.
5:11
Essentially, if you stand in the way of Islam, you must convert, or you must die.
5:15
And Surah 9, 5 says, quote,.
5:17
Then kill the disbelievers, non -Muslims, wherever you find them.
5:21
Capture them and besiege them.
5:23
And lie in wait for them in each and every ambush.
5:27
And mainstream Islamic teaching says that the passages I just read for you, coincidentally the more violent
5:32
passages, should take precedent over the slightly older texts about not coercing religion, which
5:38
called for peaceful conversion.
5:40
So it is abundantly clear that Islam is a religion of violent conquest from its very origins, not
5:47
And despite the fact that there have been bad actors on both sides of this battle, Muslims have historically been the
5:53
primary aggressors against Christians.
5:55
This is undoubtedly true.
5:58
For example, the Crusades.
6:00
These are often misconstrued as being pointless wars in which extremists on both sides fought each other
6:05
needlessly for money and power and bloodlust, etc.
6:09
But this idea is absolute rubbish.
6:11
The Crusades actually happened because bloodthirsty Muslim empires had been slaughtering Christians and taking
6:17
over nearly two -thirds of the Christian world for centuries before the First Crusade ever took
6:24
For more on this, please see the many books that Raymond Ibrahim has written on the subject.
6:30
By contrast, Christianity does not have a long, consistent history of forced conversions.
6:37
Rather, Christianity has triumphantly converted massive amounts of people simply by the grace and
6:44
And so a religion that began with just a handful of confused followers has grown to millions and millions of
6:50
people primarily by preaching the true gospel of Jesus Christ.
6:54
That is overarchingly the theme.
6:56
The leaven is moving through the whole lump gradually and victoriously—Matthew 13, 33—and all
7:02
because of true conversion by God's grace and by His Spirit.
7:06
Islam simply cannot say the same thing whatsoever.
7:09
It would be laughable if they did.
7:11
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the source of the conflict in this livestream.
7:16
The sacred writings of Islam are littered with commands to violently destroy all people who oppose their
7:21
religion, while the New Testament is jam -packed with commands to preach the gospel and disciple the nations—Matthew
7:28
But you must realize everyone is an evangelist of something.
7:32
Everyone is serving some master.
7:34
It will either be a false god like Allah, or it will be the one true Lord and King of the universe—Jesus
7:41
That is the fundamental issue here.
7:43
And unfortunately, we have many political leaders, primarily in Europe, who think it's a good idea to import into their
7:49
country thousands of military -aged males who subscribe to a religion that, on paper,
7:54
explicitly calls for violence against non -Muslims.
7:58
Anyone with two eyes and a single functioning brain cell can tell you that this is a terrible.
8:04
Should we preach the gospel to Muslims and pray sincerely for their conversion?
8:08
But given the context of what their faith says, should we let them immigrate into our historically Christian
8:16
There's a reason why people are constantly trying to escape out of Muslim countries, and by contrast,
8:22
trying to flee into Christian countries.
8:25
It's because societies based in false religions do not yield peace, joy, blessing, and human
8:32
Instead, they yield sin, strife, and violence.
8:35
And remember that Christianity has a long track record of changing the world for the better, and it will continue to do
8:41
so—not through conquest or violence, but through the blessed gospel message of Jesus Christ.
8:47
Psalm 72, verse 11, sums it up beautifully when it says, May all kings fall down
8:53
before him, and all nations serve him.
