Quran 2:91. And when it is said to them, “Believe in what God has revealed,” they say, “We believe in what was revealed to us,” and they reject anything beyond that, although it is the truth which confirms what they have. Say, “Why did you kill God’s prophets before, if you were believers?”
92. Moses came to you with clear proofs, yet you adopted the calf in his absence, and you were in the wrong.
93. And We made a covenant with you, and raised the Mount above you: “Take what We have given you firmly, and listen.” They said, “We hear and disobey.” And their hearts became filled with the love of the calf because of their disbelief. Say, “Wretched is what your faith commands you to do, if you are believers.”
94. Say, “If the Final Home with God is yours alone, to the exclusion of all other people, then wish for death if you are sincere.”
95. But they will never wish for it, because of what their hands have forwarded. God is aware of the evildoers.
96. You will find them, of all mankind, the most eager for life, even more than the polytheists. Every one of them wishes he could live a thousand years; but to be granted a long life will not nudge him from the punishment. God is Seeing of what they do.
97. Say, “Whoever is hostile to Gabriel—it is he who revealed it to your heart by God’s leave, confirming what preceded it, and guidance and good news for the believers.”
98. Whoever is hostile to God, and His angels, and His messengers, and Gabriel, and Michael—God is hostile to the faithless.
99. We have revealed to you clear signs, and none rejects them except the sinners.
100. Is it not that whenever they make a covenant, some of them toss it aside? In fact, most of them do not believe
Did you go to church yesterday? Did you look around at all the well dressed, well fed, well groomed people? Did you look at the Bibles.... with that dust around the top corner of the leather binding where it sat on the shelf for a year? While the church was closed.... did that Bible come off the shelf? Oh I guess they used the internet like me. Or they were all talk and no action while their thumper sat on the shelf.
God knows who is going to walk thru the Sanctuary doors. God knows who they are and what they do when they are not acting pious. God knows what they do in their own home when no one is watching. God knows who thinks of Him every day all day long.... and who thinks of getting the best of so-'n'-so instead.
While Jesus was on the Cross..... He asked God to forgive the morons who put Him there. I'm pretty sure when those morons get to Judgement.... they won't be so eager to see anyone crucified.
