RAIR FOUNDATION: Erdoğan's Daughter
Takes Aim at Christianity: 'The Crescent Will Win over Cross of the West' – By Amy
Mek - May 19, 2023 - Esra Erdoğan, the daughter of Turkish President Recep
Tayyip Erdoğan, has emerged as a vocal advocate for Islamic dominance and a
staunch critic of the West and Christianity. Following in her father’s
footsteps, Esra has taken to social media to express her disdain for Western
values and her belief in the ultimate victory of the Islamic crescent over the
cross of the West. (Comment: A large segment of the population follow Jesus for
a reason. Jesus performed miracles for thousands when he was alive, turned
water into wine, throughout demons from the possessed, raised Lazarus from the
dead, and died on the cross for our sins. He is the truth the light and the way
and no one comes to God except through him. His 12 disciples did the same as
Jesus after he was gone. God wins in the end if she only knew her Bible.) https://rairfoundation.com/erdogans-daughter-takes-aim-at-christianity-the-crescent-will-win-over-cross-of-the-west/

If you have faith as small as a
mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in
the sea,’ and it will obey you Luke 17:6.
Abraham had waited 20 years for the
son God had promised him. He and Sarah even had a son with the help of a
surrogate mother, but the Lord had told him Ishmael was not the son He had
promised. Finally Isaac was born, the one through whom God would bless all
mankind (Genesis 21:12). But some years later, before any of these blessings
came to pass, God directed Abraham to sacrifice Isaac as a burnt offering.
Though heart broken, Abraham took Isaac to the place the Lord had picked out,
built an altar there and placed his son upon it (Genesis 22:1-10).
The Prophet Elijah was beside
himself. The Israelites kept vacillating between worshiping God and Baal. Their
indecision was driving him crazy and he let them know it. “How long will you
waver between two opinions? If God be God then worship Him. But if it’s Baal, then
worship him.” After much prayer he arranged a public demonstration. Challenging
the priests of Baal to a contest, he had two altars built and two bulls
slaughtered and placed on the altars. The people gathered to watch. Then he
told them that whichever god sent down fire to consume the offering is the one
they should worship. Everyone agreed, and the priests of Baal began calling
their god.
All morning long they danced, cut
themselves with knives as part of their religious ritual and called out to
Baal. During the afternoon Elijah began taunting them , suggesting their god
was perhaps busy or traveling or in the bathroom, and they became even more
ecstatic in their worship, but alas, no fire. Then about sunset Elijah had his
altar doused in water three times and began to pray, reminding God of their
earlier agreement (1 Kings 18:16-37).
The court was in a panic. The King of
Babylon had just ordered the execution of all his advisers for failing to
interpret a dream. Daniel, like the calm in the midst of a raging storm,
promised the King’s assistant that he would interpret the King’s dream, thus
saving the lives of all the advisers. Then he ran home to pray with his
friends. He hadn’t a clue as to what the dream was or what it meant, and was
counting the Lord to tell him (Daniel 2:1-18).
What’s Reasonable?
I think it was Josh MacDowell who
said we don’t have to check our brains at the church door to worship God.
Christianity is a thinking person’s religion, and our Lord expects us to use
the intellect He has so generously given us. The examples I’ve given above are
meant to illustrate that point.
When Abraham took Isaac to Mt.
Moriah, he reasoned that since God had said all His promised blessings to
Abraham’s descendants would flow through Isaac, then if Abraham sacrificed him
there, God would have to raise him from the dead (Hebrews 11:17-19). He knew
that God could not break the covenant promise He had made. As he placed Isaac
on the altar, God stopped him and told him to use a ram that was caught in a nearby
thicket instead. Then Abraham and Isaac understood that they were acting out a
prophecy of the time when the Lord would offer His only Son as a sacrifice for
sin on that same spot. Abraham named the place “Jehovah Jireh” the Lord will
provide, and from then on it was said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be
provided” (Genesis 22:11-14).
When Elijah received his directions
during a private prayer, he reasoned that God, Who longed for the Israelites to
come back to Him, would not embarrass him in public (1 Kings 18:36). His faith
in God’s integrity allowed him to officiate over one of the greatest grandstand
plays of all time. When he began praying God sent the fire, and it consumed the
sacrifice, the altar, the water and even the stones around it. The Israelites
turned back to God and a three-year drought that God had sent as a judgment on
the people ended that very day (1 Kings 18:38-46).
Daniel was a prince in Israel, one of
those in the line of succession for David’s throne, when at about age 16 he was
taken hostage to Babylon. The year was 605 BC and Babylonian King Nebuchnezzar
had just defeated Egypt and Assyria, making him ruler of the world. After
laying siege to Jerusalem, he took Daniel, his three friends, and some others
hostage to assure the compliance of the now vassal King of Israel.
Once in Babylon, the King put the
Jewish teenagers into a training program, as was his custom with foreign
royalty, to teach them the Babylonian system and culture. The King was
impressed with their intelligence and when they graduated, he appointed them to
his body of advisers. When the senior members of this group couldn’t interpret
the King’s dream, he issued an extermination order for the entire group.
Daniel reasoned that God hadn’t put
him in such an influential position with the Babylonian King just to see him
executed, so he took a leap of faith by telling the King’s assistant that he
could interpret the dream. And sure enough, after the prayer session with his
three friends the Lord gave Daniel the interpretation in a vision (Daniel
2:19). The King was so impressed that he elevated Daniel to ruler over the
entire province of Babylon and head of all his advisers. Daniel’s three friends
were named chief administrators over the province of Babylon (Daniel 2:48-49).
Some time later these three, who we
know as Sahdrach, Meshach, and Abednego were sentenced to death for refusing to
worship a pagan idol the King had fashioned. They reasoned that God could save
them from the punishment due them but even if He didn’t, it was better to die
in faith than live in idolatry (Daniel 3:16-18). Bound and thrown into a
roaring furnace, they were joined there by one whose form was like the Son of
God. When the King called them out, only the ropes that had bound them were
burned. The King published an edict requiring all his subjects to honor the God
of Israel (Daniel 3:19-30).
Many years later, when he was an old
man, Daniel himself was accused of refusing to worship the King. At sunset he
was thrown into a den of hungry lions as punishment. All night long he sat
there while the lions got hungrier and hungrier. Daniel’s moment by moment
faith sustained him until morning when the King released him, again honoring
the God of Israel (Daniel 6:16-23). Daniel and his friends reasoned that the
God Whom they honored with their faithfulness would not dishonor them by
withholding His.
Adult Lessons From Children’s Stories
… The Four Factors of Faith
These children’s stories always
encourage me and I could go on talking about them until you stop me. But my
point here is to draw attention to one fact. In each case, the people involved
had to think their way through a pretty serious situation. And when all their
emotions screamed for them to act one way, they applied a huge dose of reason
to justify acting differently.
In doing so they demonstrated four
tools for us to apply when facing a faith-testing situation. We’ll call them
the Four Factors of Faith.
1.They knew God’s will and understood
His ways.
2.Their leap of faith was based on
sound reasoning.
3.They asked His help early and
often.
4.They trusted Him for a successful
conclusion.
Based on man’s definition of the
word, there was nothing reasonable about the faith of these men, and that’s why
I didn’t title this study “A Reasonable Faith.” A faith grounded in reason is
extreme in every sense of the word. In fact, most would call it unreasonable.
But it’s the kind of faith that’s available to us for use when circumstances
require it.
More Examples
When Jairus, the synagogue ruler, was
told not to bother Jesus anymore about healing his daughter because she had
died, the Lord told him, “Don’t be afraid, just believe, and she will be
healed”. He did and she was (Luke 8:49-56).
When Peter asked the Lord to bid him
come out of the boat and walk across the water, Jesus said, “Come,” and Peter
did (Matt.14:28-29).
When the disciples told Jesus they
only had five loaves of barley bread and two small fish to feed over 10,000
people, Jesus gave thanks and told them to start passing the food around. They
did and there was enough left over after everyone was finished eating to fill
12 baskets. (Mark 6:32-44)
These are not reasonable requests to
make. And yet the Lord made them, giving each one the faith to obey, and seeing
them safely through the situation.
But the most unreasonable thing of
all is the one He reserved for us. He tells us to believe that He became a man,
lived a sinless life, and died for all the sins of mankind. Then He rose from
the grave to walk among His followers again. He did all this to purchase a
pardon that He’s promised to grant without condition or exception to all who
choose to accept it. Finally He invested us with the faith to trust Him in
this, the most important choice we’ll ever make (Ephe. 2:8-9), and promised to
see us safely through to a successful conclusion, eternal life with Him.
If you’re reading this article,
you’ve probably made that choice. And that means you’re betting your eternal
destiny on Him. You’re OK with this because you understand His will and know
His ways. Therefore, your leap of faith is based on reason. You pray often, and
are trusting Him for the successful conclusion He promised. The Four Factors of
Faith make yours a faith grounded in reason.
Now it is God who makes both us and
you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and
put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come (2 Cor.
1:21-22).
