I always thought Jesus was talking about traditional marriage between a man and a woman! I thought Jesus was trying to communicate that things were carrying on as before and then suddenly He returns! However, a Jewish Rabbi Charne Dov Keller has a different perspective! In the ‘Inside Israel Newsletter’, (Vol. 13, No. 7), he writes in the ‘Jewish Observer’, ‘The Midrash (Acharie Mos) tells us that the Generation of the Flood was wiped out only because they wrote marriage contracts between males just as they did for conventional couples! We can better understand the cultural expression ‘only because’ as meaning the ‘singular primary reason’ in importance as the cause why God brought the Flood upon the world at that time in antiquity! The next destruction was Sodom and Gomorrah for the same reason! The Apostle Jude warns us in verse 7 of our history and mentions going after strange flesh meaning homosexuality and bestiality! Is Rabbi Keller correct? If he is then that means we are very close to the Rapture of His Church and God’s hammer of Judgment coming on the world! Some Pastor’s claim all sin is the same? What about Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit which is the unpardonable sin! What ever my sin is or your sin is we need to repent quickly! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Muslim Conquests in India Create New Religion!
Muslim conquests of the Indian subcontinent mainly took place from the 12th to 16th centuries. There was a limited incursion by Muslims in the 8th century. The slaughter of Hindu’s and Buddhists was severe and the Indian culture was looking for a way to accommodate the convert and die demands of Islam! The beautiful thing about Christianity is it is not convert or die but convert and live! Guru Nanak (1469-1549), founded a religion that included Islam, Hinduism and some Sufi mysticism. He began teaching in 1515 A.D. and today has a following of about 30 million Sikhs! Sikhism combines these as a way of reconciliation with the Muslims. What I did find with boots on the ground 3 years in India that they are the most challenging people to witness the Gospel of Jesus Christ too! They are a very bold people but yet respectful! When Britain and the United States were fighting the Japanese in Burma during World War II were quoted as saying, “We do not fear the Brits or Americans but we do fear the Sikhs!” Sometimes they get upset with our Gospel Tract, Who is God? This is because we address both elements of their religion. I do not want any people group to miss out on Christ so I proceed at any cost! In Christ’s Love. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Who is God? Daniel 12:3
A very good question! There are a lot of different answers to this question. Some people say, “There is no God.” Your answer to this question will determine how you treat other people and where you will spend eternity! Our belief about who God is will also determine whether we worship God or worship ourselves. If we love God then we will love people! We have three major religions in this world. They are opposite each other, therefore they cannot be all true! Let me explain; 1. Christianity says, “That God died for man.” 2. Islam says, “That man must die for God.” 3. Hinduism says, “That God is who you make Him to be in your mind.” 4. Christianity says, “That God made man.” Islam= Self-worship Hinduism= Self-worship Christianity= God’s grace Self-worship is you trying to do for God what God has already done for you! Grace is God doing for you what you cannot do for yourself! By grace you are saved by faith and not of yourselves! See Ephesians 2:8 We all make mistakes! My worst mistake was rejecting Jesus Christ! My best decision was accepting Jesus Christ as my Savior! Jesus asked Peter, “Who do you say that I am?” Who do you say Jesus Christ is? See Matthew 16:16. How you answer the most important question in your life will determine your past, present and future life! Who do you say that He is? Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Christians Saved From Islam at Battle of Tours 732 A.D.
Precisely 100 years after the death of Islam’s prophet Mohammad in 632, his Arab followers, after conquering thousands of miles of lands from Arabia to Spain, found themselves in Gaul (modern-day France), facing a hitherto little-known people, Christian Franks. There around October 10-11, in the year 732 one of history’s most decisive battles took place, demarcating the extent of Islam’s western conquests and ensuring the survival of the West!

Story Behind 21 Coptic Christian Beheadings!
Our church supports Pastor’s in the Middle East. Our Pastor in Egypt gave us some details about these executions. ISIS rounded up a group of Christian’s then one by one asked them to deny Christ or die! Out of this group these 21 men would not deny Christ! Notice there were no women executed? Muslim’s will keep the women for sex slaves either for themselves or sell them to other Muslim countries! A lot of young girl’s have been sold to the surrounding area’s such as to Saudi Arabia and others! Under the current political situation here in America some of us may have to make this choice also! You need to decide now what decision you would make if asked to deny Christ or die? In Christ’s Love. James and Hamsa Sasse GodWhoisGod.com
Creation Versus Evolution! Genesis 1:1
Meat left out too long will bear maggots or mold? These days we know the maggots hatch from fly eggs and the mold grows from spores that are carried in the air. However in the past the fuzzy growth and the wiggly bodies were believed proof that whole organisms could spontaneously arise from rotten meat or certain types of inanimate matter. In the early 1860’s French chemist Louis Pasteur proved that such spontaneous generation did not occur, but instead the air itself was full of bacteria, spores and other forms of reproducing life. In 1859 Charles Darwin promoted the notion that life forms were ever changing evolving into new species over time. Pasteur’s experiments and Darwin’s theory led to opposing conclusions regarding the origin of life here on the earth. Pasteur claimed that through his scientific experiments that there was support for belief that God created life! Just as life could not arise from spontaneously animate matter the first life on earth could not have arisen without the help of a Divine Creator! Source: Space.com Comments: According to Genesis 1:1, God created the Heaven first. The word Heaven comes from the Hebrew word, “Shamayim.” The word means the sky, clouds and atmosphere or air. Air itself has life and sustains and produces life! Try living without it ! I will never belief any theory whether Darwin’s or any other unless backed up with facts! If you get the origin of life wrong your whole perspective on life will be wrong and your decisions throughout life will be based on error! If you get this one wrong you get everything wrong! A denial of our Creator will be a hard choice especially when one day you will have to face Him! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
How Good is Your Memory? Putin and Obama!
Remember Obama’s words to Putin just before his re-election? After my re-election I will be able to do a lot more for you! Crimea is gone to Russia an important Black Sea port and Turkey is on the southern border of the Black Sea! Ukraine is falling fast to Russian conquest! Gog and Magog end times Bible prophecy is being fulfilled in the perfect storm created by Obama! The southern alliance of Islam is being strengthened as Eastern Europe is falling to Russia as she moves south in conquest towards Israel. Western Europe will not confront Putin because they know the United States under Obama will not back them! Israel knows that they cannot trust Obama! As Obama gives Iran the green light for atomic weapons Israel knows it will not get help from America! The trigger is set to pull on end times prophecy clear to us in the Scriptures! My friends we are in the end times now! Things will not continue as before! Sadly, the Church is asleep but our God in Christ knows all things and will protect His own! Thankyou.

If You Like Your God You Can Keep Your God!
Really! Another lie! The same Spirit that has removed Bibles from our schools and prayer from our schools in America is the same Spirit in Islam! The same Spirit that promotes abortion and removal of Crosses in America is from the same source! The same Spirit that sent Jesus to the grave is alive and well! The good news is the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you! Muslims that do terrible things to people are just following the Quran! This is their Holy Bible! Anything but Holy but simply practicing their Faith! Only 20 percent of the 1.4 billion Muslims have ever read the Quran! Hey! It is your lucky day! How many Christians read their Bibles? Even when the political right uses the term radical Islam they do not understand this is what normal Muslims do! They are not radical they are obeying the Quran! When I hear our political leaders say Islam is a religion of peace they are either ignoring history, ignorant or in denial? I am going to give you some sampler verses out of the Quran that will help you understand Islam! Chapters in the Quran are called Surah. So Surah 5:72 would be Chapter 5, verse 72. Here we go: Surah 5:72 Christians will be burned in the fire! Surah 5:73 Christians are wrong about the Trinity, they will have a painful doom! Surah 8:67 A prophet may not take captives until he has made a slaughter in the land! Surah 9:34 Give tidings and a painful death to Christians and Jews! Surah 24:5 It is okay for Muslims to have slaves! Surah 28:62-64 Allah will taunt Christians on the day of their doom, saying; Where are my partners you imagine? Surah 28:86 Never help unbelievers! Can Muslims in countries ruled by non Muslims be loyal to their country? Surah 30:13-14 Allah will tear Christians apart for ascribing partners to Him! Surah 47:4 Smite the necks of unbelievers wherever you fight against them! Those who die fighting for Allah will be rewarded! Surah 58:22 On the last Day good Muslims will not love their Muslim friends and family members, not even their fathers, sons or brothers (or their mothers, daughters or sisters). Surah 59:2-3 Allah will cut fear into the hearts of the disbelieving people of Scripture! Their home hereafter will be in fire! Surah 59:11 The disbelieving people of the Scriptures are liars! Surah 60:1 Do not be friends with unbelievers, they are your and Allah’s enemy! Surah 61:4 Allah loves those who fight for Him! Surah 62:5 A hypocritical Jew looks like an ass carrying books! Those who deny the revelation of Allah are ugly! I hope this sampling of the Quran will help you better understand Islam! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Caliphate Growing! Muslim Rule!
The biggest foreign policy blunder by an American president in American history was made by Obama! To let the Arab spring grow and to depose the dictators of these regions was a lethal blow to American’s and to Christian’s world wide! Twenty one Egyptian Coptic Christian’s were beheaded yesterday by ISIS soldier in Libya! Yemen has fallen and ISIS is controlling 1/3 of Syria and Iraq! ISIS says it will conquer Rome! Many Egyptians left Egypt after the 2011 overthrow of the Dictator of Egypt to look for work. To add insult to injury our last Democracy in this area is Israel and Obama has a contempt for them? I made a prediction about a year ago the False Prophet (World Religious Ruler), would rule from Rome as the Bible declares but I believe he will be a Muslim and not a apostate Pope! We know from the Bible that the antichrist will be a Jew and gay! Our Messiah Jesus Christ is also a Jew! The world will be fooled because they will believe peace has finally come for a Jew and a Muslim have finally been wedded together! World history will always confirm the Bible! Thankyou.

False Christ’s! Matthew 24:24
A false Christ will use Christ for his own gain! He build’s on the world’s expectations of such a person, while he blasphemously appropriates these expectations and affirms them as his own promising these expectations are found in him. He is the same character as the antichrist who opposes the real Christ. He will usurp Christ’s office, presenting himself to the world as the true center of it’s hope and satisfier of all it’s needs and healer of all it’s ills! The false Christ promotes the antichrist! What are some warning signs of a false Christ? Be careful of any organization whether private, government or religious that promotes itself above Christ! I worry when someone is trying to promote their church above Christ? I love my church and my Pastor but neither can save me! No one can save this world except Christ! The one world government will soon arrive on the scene and the leader antichrist will demand worship from you! He make the same claims as the false Christ’s of today! Jesus goes on to say in verse 24 that the false Christ’s will perform miracles, signs and wonders! How are you going to tell the difference between the false and the real? The false Christ will always take credit unto himself! You are well because I pray for you! Only because you belong to this church or organization you are doing well! The false Christ will deny the Deity of Christ! The false Christ will say Jesus did not come in the flesh or he was just a good man but not God! Satan will never confess the truth! Remember there is only one Christ! If you have more than one Christ in the room you have a problem! Pastor Cho used to tell me that one out of twelve church members is a Judas! Why was Judas a false Christ? He wanted to promote himself at the expense of Christ! Self promotion always produces sin! My Bible says promotion comes not from the north, south, east or west but from on high! Christ promoted you by going to the Cross! My Bible says you and I were conceived in sin! Christ was conceived in righteousness by the Father because He had you in mind! God promoted you 2000 years ago on a bloody Cross but you must recognize it and accept it and live in Faith by Him and for Him! The false Christ’s will always use sin as the weapon of choice to promote self! Sin produces death! Islam is our latest example here on earth! To prevent me or you from becoming a false Christ we must follow the true Christ! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
