US Secretary Of State John Kerry: The US Is Not At War With ISIS


Now here’s a sure way to demoralize and discourage the coalition of the willing. If you’re not really at war with an enemy you’ve just declared war against, you’re already walking the path of failure …

James 1:8, “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”

By Elise Labott, Laura Smith-Spark and Ray Sanchez, CNN – “U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday would not say the United States is at war with ISIS, telling CNN in an interview that the administration’s strategy includes ‘many different things that one doesn’t think of normally in context of war.’

‘What we are doing is engaging in a very significant counterterrorism operation,’ Kerry told CNN’s Elise Labott in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. ‘It’s going to go on for some period of time. If somebody wants to think about it as being a war with ISIL, they can do so, but the fact is it’s a major counterterrorism operation that will have many different moving parts.’

Kerry made a distinction between ISIS and terror groups operating in Somalia and Yemen.

‘ISIL is an animal unto itself,’ he said. ‘And it is significantly such a threat because of the foreign fighters that are attracted to it — which you don’t see in Somalia or … Yemen.’ Most importantly, Kerry said, ISIL has attracted a ‘significant coalition’ that is determined to go and destroy it.

Kerry, in Jeddah for meetings with Arab leaders to enlist regional support for a coalition to defeat ISIS, defended the administration’s insistence that the 2001 authority to go after al Qaeda and affiliates applies to ISIS. He insisted that, despite the split between jihadist groups, the origin of ISIS as an al Qaeda affiliate is enough to consider them connected.

‘This group is and has been al Qaeda,’ Kerry said. ‘By trying to change its name, it doesn’t change who it is, what it does.’

Asked how much of the interpretation lets Congress get away from a vote on going after ISIS — a scenario lawmakers would like to avoid in an election year — Kerry responded ‘none.’

Kerry said the opposition battling the regime of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria has been outgunned and outmanned, but the administration believes that equation can change ‘if they receive proper training, if there are recruits that come in, and if it grows over a period of time.'” Read more.

    Then Kerry, Obama and John MC Cain are Baal worshipers. Muslims are Baal worshipers. Muslims on a mass scale must repent or be the lake of fire. No lost no lake of fire, Your crescent moon and star is the same as theirs. The devil speaks in the Quran. Turn your back to Islam. Islam is the worsts belief sytem that ever was or ever shall be. I will never lie. Lucifer inspired it. It is the most deceptive and violent religious that can ever be. The spirit in it wanted Jesus dead. Allah calls himself the best deceiver.There is only one deceiver.This is in the Quran.
    Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them (47:4.
    I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them, Qur’an 8:12.
    When a person who has reached puberty and is sane voluntarily apostasies from Islam, he deserves to be killed.
    Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them (47:4
    “The Qur’an in a variety of verses (2:225, 3:28, 3:54, 9:3, 16:106, 40:28, and 66:2) establishes the religious legitimacy of breaking oaths, lying, unilaterally violating treaties, and generally scheming against non-Muslims. Allah himself is described as “the best of schemers” (3:54, 8:30, 10:21), and Muhammad declared, as a justification for murdering unarmed prisoners after offering them safe passage, “war is deceit” (see the Hadith collection of Bukhari, vol. 4, book 52, numbers 268–271). So during the negotiations of Oslo I and II, Arafat’s willingness to acquiesce to Israeli demands was merely his acting as a good Muslim warrior, using taqiyya, deceit in warfare, to put his enemy at a disadvantage.” “Islam Permits Lying to Deceive Unbelievers and Bring World Domination!”

    “A recent example of tawriya in action is — because it is a “great sin” for Muslims to acknowledge Christmas — this sheikh counsels Muslims to tell Christians, “I wish you the best,” whereby the Christians might “understand it to mean you’re wishing them best in terms of their [Christmas] celebration.” But — here the sheikh giggles as he explains—”by saying I wish you the best, you mean in your heart I wish you become a Muslim.

    Quran ascribes to Allah is khayru al-makireen, that Allah is “the best deceiver/schemer/conniver” (cf. S. 3:54 ; 8:30. Satan is a deceiver. God is not a deceiver. ISIS people are Baal worshipers. They are idolaters. They have the same symbol crescent moon and star.

    My personal Biblical understanding is – that we are now in the time of massive ‘spiritual deception’ that is written of and warned about many times by “the Lord Jesus Christ”, all of the authors of the Epistles, and several of the Prophets in the Old Testament in “the truth”, “the word of the LORD” – the Holy Bible.
    Paul McGuire wrote – ‘According to the prophetic scriptures, one of the primary characteristics of the last days is spiritual deception, delusion and a falling away from truth.’
    YET – How few CHRISTians have ever considered – or even realize – that there is much more warning about ‘spiritual deception’ than there is about –
    – the ‘physical manifestations’ – earthquakes, wars, etc… in these ‘end-of-the-end times’ before “that day”, “the day of the Lord”, “the day of the LORD’S wrath”, “the time of Jacob’s trouble”, the “great tribulation”!

    It seems to me that nearly every ‘head of state’ – and their advisors – of the countries all around the world are either under strong Satanic influence’ – or directly under his control.

    “And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
    Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.”
    (Luke 17:26-29 | KJV)

    Me thinks that the whole world is becoming ever more and more rapidly ‘as it was in the days of Noah and of Lot’ – TODAY!

    The absolute truth and reality of “the words of the LORD” should be very clear:

    1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
    2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
    3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
    (Ps 14:1-3 | KJV)

    21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
    22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
    (Rom 1:21-22 | KJV)

    “The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.”
    (Ps 12:8 | KJV)

    =======================================================================
    CHRISTians – We need to put on – and keep on the “whole armor of God”
    (Eph 6:10-20 | 2 Cor 10:3-5 | James 4:6-10 | KJV)
    and pray often, with great sincerity, effectually and fervently, and in real humility for the protection, spiritual discernment, wisdom, and guidance of “the Lord God Almighty” – AND

    – for the few truly ‘God called’ Biblically sound Pastors and Teachers – the ‘true Shepherds’ that “the Lord God Almighty” has left to us – worldwide – in these increasingly perilous end times of greater and greater ‘spiritual deception’:
    (Amos 8:11-14 | KJV)

    – for all CHRISTians – in the MID-EAST, and wherever else we live
    (the ‘Big Satan’ of the Mohammadens)

    – for all of the JEWISH people and the land of ISRAEL
    (the ‘Little Satan’ of the Mohammadens)

    – AND for all “kings” – each and every one of the ‘heads of state’ – and for those in authority.
    (2 Tim 2:1-6 | KJV)

    – AND for MANY-MANY LOST people everywhere to accept the “free gift” of Biblical Salvation by true belief in “Jesus the Christ”!!! – remembering that:
    “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
    (2 Pet 3:9 | also 1 Tim 2:4 – KJV)
