Page 96 - MY GREAT LOVE FOR JESUS LED ME TO TROUTH

Shaving around the sides of the head on the sides of one's head, shaving the beard,
tattooing, practising divination and soothsaying are among the many practices the Bible
declares prohibited. In Leviticus 19/26-28, for instance, we read, "…nor shall you
practice divination or soothsaying. You shall not shave around the sides of
your head, nor shall you disfigure the edges of your beard. You shall not make
any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the
Lord."
It is crystal clear, therefore, that Muslims are the true followers of Jesus[6] and the
prophets of God before him.

[1]The number of practicing Muslims exceeds the total number of people practicing all
other religions put together. According to The Sunday Times, "Attendance at Britain's
mosques has outstripped the number of regular worshippers in the Church of England for
the first time. Figures compiled from government and academic sources show that
930,000 Muslims attend a place of worship at least once a week, compared with 916,000
Anglicans." See "Muslims Outpace Anglicans in UK", Nicholas Hellen and Christopher
Morgan, published on 25 January 2004; available at
http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/uk_news/article26788.ece. This is taking
place in a Christian country where Muslims constitute a minority.
[2] According to Genesis 17/9-14, "And God said unto Abraham, 'You shall keep
my covenant therefore, you, and your seed after you in their generations. This
is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your seed after
you; every man child among you shall be circumcised. And you shall circumcise
the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me
and you. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every
man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with
money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. He that is born in your house,
and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my
covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. And the
uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that
soul shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.'"
[3] We also read in Exodus 22/25, "If you lend money to any of my people who is
poor among you, you shall not be to him as a lender, neither shall you charge
him interest."
