Butchers of Peace

In London today, two men were seen butchering a man alive with a machete and meat cleaver. They shouted "Allahu Akbar" as the killing took place. The whole incident was videotaped and the police killed both men upon arrival. The victim was reportedly a British soldier.

These men were from "the religion of peace," called Islam. This religion claims that you must be a good person to get to Heaven... or commit an unspeakable act like the one observed today. The problem is that both ways to get to Heaven are opposed to each other and therefore both cannot be true. What does God really say?

According to the Bible, "No one does good, not even one" (Romans 3:12) and "As for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death" (Revelation 21:8). In fact, the Bible says that hating someone is the same as murder (see 1 John 3:15). Looks like everybody will die and go to Hell then, right? Well, that is true... unless someone who has never sinned takes our punishment for us.

Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, came to earth and lived a perfect (sinless) life. He was beaten and whipped, tortured and crucified until He died on the cross. Jesus came back to life three days later to defeat death and Hell. He now offers eternal life to anyone willing to repent and trust in Him. Read the Bible to find out the truth about Jesus Christ and what He did for you.
