Convert from Islam to Christianity Beheaded

This took place in Tunisia. One of the first countries of the so called "Arab Spring"

(Edit I ,thingsabove, have removed the link. Enough folks are now aware of what happened. you can do a search online and find it as well if you need to.)

A liberal host in tunisisa shows this video and denounces it.

Clicking on the link will give you the transcript you can then decide if you want to watch the video.

It appears that this brother was at peace when he was martyred.

I personally started to watch the video and felt I should not. I really want to caution anyone watching this, it is really not a good thing to become used to killing and murder. Such things are showing we are nearing the end times brothers and sisters.

I also could not bring myself to watch the video. I have a feeling we will see and experience the real thing before everything is said and done. I know this precious saint is in the arms of Jesus. I also found myself praying for his executioners. Namely God would forgive them and they would find Christ. As we are persecuted we are to forgive our enemies and pray they find Jesus. This is what Jesus did on the cross to those who crucified him. This is what sets us apart from Islam. For ours is a life of forgiveness. There's is a religion of hatred.

Somehow when something like this gets posted all the other threads become unimportant. Though I an not advocating watching this. Can we come out if our self centered bubbles and reflect on what just happened here. A brother just spilled his blood for Christ here.

Does this not mean anything to anybody here? Am I the only person who is impacted by this? Saints a brother had been martyred. Is anybody not moved by this?

Are there not those who weep and pray for the persecuted? Are there niot those who pray for the lost? Dies anybody not care what just transpired here? Is there no concern?

Somebody has rightly observed that the church in America cares nothing for the rest of the workd. Is this forum going to be silent over what just transpired here??

Does anybody not grasp what just occurred here? The silence here speaks volumes.

I was not for sure if I should have posted this news on SI but after seeing posts on cannibals I thought it would be ok to post.

I think most of us know that this is going on. We see news reports on whatever sites we visit.

However it is my opinion that some of us,not all, need a more pointed reality check from time to time on what is really happening.

I served two tours in Iraq. I have had exposure to certain things that have given me certain reality checks.

When Islam takes control of a country one of the first things is evangelism outlawed..how nice.

Sharia Law is of course implamented. One of the core of Islam is that you cannot leave Islam. Especially to go to Christianity.

In regards to the video post. Like abortion photo's or Holocuast photos they can be powerful reality checks as to whats really going on vs how we naturaly like to minimize or explain away certain realities.

Again I understand if some do not want to watch the video for whatever reasons. But some maybe need to see the reality of what is going on. What the end result of tolerating an intolrent religious system can bring.

Moves by certain states in America to prevent Sharia Law from getting a foothold in our legal system are warrented. Paul said a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

Also we can get great encouragement by the witness of this martyr. Just as when we read from "Martyrs Mirror" or Foxes book of martyrs we get encouragenment that we to can face persecution and martrydom for Christ. The great cloud of witness is here today as well!

Thank you for the disclaimer about this video guys and gals, I do not want to watch this it would trouble me for weeks on end, I still have images in my brain from years watching a beheading in a documentary.

Brother I am glad you posted this reality check. Though I could not watch the video I did read the account. But I think I will go give the video a look see to remind myself of those in Revelation who are beheaded because of their testimony in Jesus and because of the word of God. Indeed we do need this reality check.

I honor you and others who have served this nation in the armed forces. My uncle was a WWII and Korean vet. Be saw things he could not talk about.

Much blessing be on you as we do remember the martyrs.

Doug I agree that certain people should not watch this video. But brother, there is a persecuted church. We cannot ignore the reality that saints are spilling their blood daily for Jesus. It is said every 5 minutes a saint is martyred for Jesus. By the end of the day 300 or more souls will have passed under the altar for Jesus.

But I do agree that certain people should not watch this video.

Saints Tertullian wrote that the blood of the martyr is the seed of the church. Jesus said that unless a seed falls into the ground and dies it remains only a seed. But if it dies it produces many seeds.

This brother has spilled his blood for Tunisia. Now let us pray that there will be a gospel explosion in Tunisia and the Middle East. Let us not be shocked at what the evil one has done here. But what the devil means for evil let us pray that God will use for good. Let us pray for a gospel harvest in Tunisia.

As the old Moravians used to say may the Lamb that was slain recieve the reward of his sufferings.

Bearmaster.

Brother respectfully I pose this question. Was one's mind defiled when they saw Jesus being crcucified?. Crucificon was pretty grizzly and the Romans were masters of it. Yet the Roman centurian looked upon Jesus and acknowledged he was God's son. Even the thief on the cross acknowledged Jesus had done no wrong in rebuking the other thief. He asked Jesus to remember him in paradoxes. I hardly think their minds were defiled.

What of the witness of the believers down through the centuries. Those martyred in the arena, burned at the stake, hung, beheaded, shot, etc. These woukd be gruesome. But for those who witnessed it who knows who was impacted to come to Christ.

I agree that a small child or a weak Christan should not see this video. But I pray that those who see this video throuhout the Middle East will see how a true martyr dies and come to Christ. For the word martyr means witness.

Just my thoughts.

Bearmaster.

Well, just a reminder of what I have posted before.

Initialy hesitated cuz didn't know how would be recieved.

Thought again and decided to post.

Warned and advised those to make their own choice on watching or just reading the transcript.

To paul and others concerned.
I agree that we should not watch things like this casually or to much. SOME SHOULD NOT WATCH IT AT ALL.

I will say Paul that I am not decieved.

I also respect that if Moderators feel need to remove initial link Then please do. No fuss from me on that choice. I am just given the privalige to post here not a "right".

These videos are posted to instill fear into anyone who would think of leaving Islam. They want to show they mean business. We should see and understand that Islam must not be allowed to influence our courts or laws.

As the Apostle Paul declared,

1Co 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

For those who are not aware www.jihadwatch.org is a good place to start on infromation concerning the truth about Islam. I monitor many different sites as well but this is a good start.

Last, as always "primary mission" is always to be proclaiming the Gospel that men might be saved.

Doug,

Whatever Mods decide to do is fine.

I would like to suggest to you that not everyone would experience the torment that you have.

I am not trying to minimize the impact the videos a few years back had on you. However certain things effect certain people different ways.

This is why on some things choice of the info is what we are dealing with not a blanket"no one should watch these videos"

If I were to post here,"Everyone SHOULD watch these videos period"! Well that would not be correct way of sharing info of this type and severity.

I remember a Voice of the Martyrs magazine that came out a little over a year ago. The magazine showed a picture of a little girl who had been horribly burned in an Islamic attack. The picture showed this precious child smiling with the love of Jesus. Reconstructive surgery had been done on the child's face. But it was still disturbing to see her face unless you looked past the scar tissue to see Jesus in her.

V.O.M. took much flack for showing that picture. They agreed to not put any such pictures on the front of their magazines.

As I read this thread I wonder if we would be offended at Richard Wormbrandt. Back in the 1960's he testified at a Senate committee meeting. He stripped to the waste to show the scars he had endured in his tortures for Christ.

I believe the anabaptist taught there children martyrdom as a way of life. Many woukd see there parents burned, hanged, or drowned. All the while exhorting their children to stay true to Christ and his word.

Saints how do you think the accounts of Martyrs Mirror came to be. Saints actually witnessed the martyrdom of their brethen slipping into the arms of Jesus.

Let us be honest with ourselves. Why are we really objecting so strenously to this post? Could it be we Americans don't won't to accept the reality of a persecuted church? Come on. Be honest. That must be the reason. Let's keep the shipping containers in Eritrea.and the death camps in N. Korea.

Brothers and sisters there is a persecuted church. And the tortures are horrendous. The sobering truth is persecution is coming here. We may be experiencing what this brother experienced.

While we debate the appropiateness of this, a saint has slipped into the arms of Jesus. Every 5 minutes somebody is martyred for Christ. Are we going to turn away from them because there horrendous tortures offend us?

Bearmaster.

Sister the link woukd not load into my Droid. But I imagine Ravenhill would hit the nail on the head with his answer.

So we will go along our merry way. Self absorbed in our pursuits if life, liberty, and happiness. Meanwhile precious souls continue to be martyred for the Lamb.

Praise God Jesus cares. Even if we don't. Now let this thread slip quietly into cyber space so we are not reminded of those who suffer for Jesus.

Bearnaster standing down.

Love you too bro. Be blessed in Jesus.

Bearmaster.

It seems a bit like the crew of the titanic arguing whether it would be best to not mention to the passengers that some of them were not going to survive. The reality is that wherever our brethren are martyred, the bell tolls for us all. We cannot view This as distant. The video is not the question. The question is, are we going to finally face the fact that we may not survive this, will we have the Grace to face this?
