Silly Chain emails

Post by _GoodK »

I get several of these a week in my email box, I thought I'd start a post to see if some other people get their own silly, religious chain letters.

I got this one today:
Read down to the very bottom highlighted in green, IT'LL GIVE YOU GOOSEBUMPS!!!
You don't want to miss this! ((*_*) )

VERY INTERESTING-

1. The Garden of Eden was in Iraq

2. Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq, was the cradle of civilization!

3. Noah built the ark in Iraq

4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq

5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq!

6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor, which is in Iraq!

7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq

8. Jonah preached in Nineveh - which is in Iraq

9. Assyria, which is in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel

10. Amos cried out in Iraq!

11. Babylon, which is in Iraq, destroyed Jerusalem

12. Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq!

13. The three Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq (Jesus had been in Iraq also as the fourth person in the Fiery Furnace!)

14. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon saw the 'writing on the wall' in Iraq

15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq

16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq...

17. The wise men were from Iraq...

18. Peter preached in Iraq

19. The 'Empire of Man' described in Revelation is called Babylon, which was a city in Iraq!

And you have probably seen this one: Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible.

But do you know which nation is second?

It is Iraq!

However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible.

The names used in the Bible are Babylon, Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris

And Euphrates Rivers...

The name Iraq, means country with deep roots.

Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible.

No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy associated

With it than Iraq

And also, this is something to think about: Since America is typically represented by an eagle.

Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages...

The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible)

Koran ( 9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah;

And there was peace.

(Note the verse number!) Hmmmmmmm?!

I BETTER NOT HEAR OF ANYONE BREAKING THIS ONE OR SEE IT DELETED.

This is a ribbon for soldiers fighting in Iraq.

Pass it on to everyone and pray.

Something good will happen to you tonight at 11:11 PM.

This is not a joke.

Someone will either call you or will talk to you online and say that they love you.

Do not break this chain.

Send this to 13 people in

The next 15 minutes.

Nothing makes me delete an email faster than seeing something like the following at the bottom of the page:

"Do not break this chain. Send this to 13 people in the next 15 minutes."

I mean, just how stupid do people have to be? Who on Earth would...?

Oh wait... wait a second... if they believe the contents of the email, then maybe... that's right... hmmm... I see...
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Snopes is your friend:

That quote doesn't even ever appear in the quran, much less in 9:11.
WK: "Joseph Smith asserted that the Book of Mormon peoples were the original inhabitants of the americas"
Will Schryver: "No, he didn’t." 3/19/08
Still waiting for Will to back this up...

Koran 9:11 doesn't say that in my edition.

Hmm I shoulda looked at that.

Mine says...

Surah 9 (Repentance)

11, But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor due, then are they your brethren in religion. We detail our revelations for those who have knowledge.

Tsh.
