Nigerian Muslim kidnappers are increasingly bold
International Christian Concern reminds us this morning that 91 young women, who were kidnapped exactly ten years ago from their schools in Chibok in northeastern Nigeria, are still held in captivity. Islamic terrorists kidnapped 276 teenage girls a decade ago, many of whom were forced to marry their abductors.
That wasn’t the end of the persecutions however.
Just last month, Boko Horam terrorists kidnapped another 400 persons from a Borno State refugee camp, and another 287 students and teachers were abducted from a school in Kaduna State, reports Voice of America.
Nigeria, Africa is the sixth most dangerous country worldwide in which to be a Christian.
Knife attacks in Australia
Gun ownership in Australia is severely restricted by government licensing, but that hasn’t stopped knife attacks in that nation.
Six people were killed and 11 wounded by a knife attack in a mall last week. In addition, just yesterday, a pastor and four church members were stabbed during a Bible study at Good Shepherd Church in Sydney.
Iraq considers death penalty for adultery and perversion
The Iraqi parliament is considering a bill requiring life in prison or the death penalty for certain types of adultery or homosexual activity, reports U.S. News and World Report.
The nations of Israel and Iraq have the loosest laws of all Middle Eastern countries concerning homosexuality. Israel legalized homosexuality in 1988, and recognizes homosexual faux marriage performed in other countries. At least officially, homosexual activity was legalized in Iraq in 1969.
Homosexuality has been legalized by most Protestant and Catholic nations in Europe, North and South America, and Oceania which includes Australia.
Scripture in 1 Timothy 1:8-10 points out that “the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers.”
Trump in court over hush money payments
Former President and 2024 GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump is back in state court, defending himself from 34 charges of falsifying business records, in relation to alleged hush money payments made before the 2016 election.
The payments allegedly went to a film star who is known for promulgating violations of the seventh commandment. Trump has pleaded not guilty to charges and denies the accusations concerning the adulterous affair.
