As A Christian Not An Infidel
According to the word of God (2 Corinthians 6:14-15), "infidel" refers to "unbelievers," opposing Christ,
bowing to idols. Now the word of men, and the dictionaries of men, may define infidel as a non-believer
"with respect to a particular religion," and "especially Christianity or Islam." (American Heritage Dictionary)
Therein is the deception, and the forged use of the word "infidel." Not even in jest do I refer to a Christian
as an infidel. Obeying God's word and becoming a Christian is the opposite of being an unbeliever.
Furthermore, 1 Timothy 5:8 identifies the infidels as accountable persons who are against Christ. Acts
4:25-26 speaks of rulers imagining vain things and heathens raging against. That sounds like Saudi
Wahabbi rulers supporting terror and Afghan Taliban training in terror. It sounds like jihadist Muslims
marching in the streets of London with signs "Death to America" and "Annihilate the Infidels." In Matthew 20:
25-28 Jesus shows His non-violent way, in contrast to the "rule by the stick" ways of the heathens. Based
on Mohammed and the Koran and history, jihadist Muslims are the infidels - fighting, ranting, and some
killing and committing suicide. This is against Christ, and even against basic decency.
In his famous novel 1984, author George Orwell wrote about Big Brother's "doublespeak." That is when
"war means peace" and "hate means love" etc. Well, it is doublespeak when journalists, satirically or not,
refer to American citizens in generals as infidels. Doing that plays into the hand of jihadist, who have
hijacked the word infidels to refers to non-Muslims. Thanks to the Savior Jesus Christ, one who obeys
Christ is not an infidel, but a Christian.
