Sinead O'Connor has revealed she's changed her name after turning her back on Catholicism and converting to Islam.
The Irish singer, who was once ordained a priest by the Irish Orthodox and Apostolic Church, made the announcement on Twitter telling fans she was proud to have become a muslim.
Sinead, 51, will now be known as Shuhada' Davitt - with shuhada meaning 'martyrs' or 'witnesses' in Arabic.
In a post to fans she wrote: "This is to announce that I am proud to have become a Muslim. This is the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian’s journey. All scripture study leads to Islam. Which makes all other scriptures redundant. I will be given (another) new name. It will be Shuhada."

Good one.
Moron.
She will respond to that. I hope. Let's pray for her.

The man that will be the final Antichrist was not around then.
I know there are supposed to be traditions that say he was, but those are not anywhere in Scripture.
And as I said, what John saw is arguably something in a script he didn’t know, Arabic, so he drew it as a picture. Those symbols look like that script with the crossed swords. These do also resemble Greek letters, but they need not be Greek letters is the point.
Debates about exactly what he saw aside, what John saw with respect to the Antichrist featured in Revelation didn’t concern his own times (I can say that simply because we are still here long afterwards). The letters to the churches concerned his own times. After these Revelation transitions to a future.
Closer to John’s own times the premier expression of the spirit of antichrist — which involves active rejection and opposition to Christ and His Gospel and not just being a false religion (Hinduism, for example, is a false religion that does not profit its adherents but didn’t arise in a time or place expressly rejecting Christ as Islam later did) — would be found in developments in Judaism contemporaneous to John (and Revelation) that were bent on rejecting Christ and keeping Jews from becoming believers, a strong statement of a starting point for this would be the declaration to put those confessing Christ out of the Synagogues, but as for how that developed even all that wouldn’t be codified / written down for some centuries.
Let me be clear: Israel had received a form of religion from the Lord and so I’m not talking about some false religion that has no valid source as a starting point for it in Scripture. Instead, if I may compare to a hypothetical, imagine if a substantial party in Israel had told Moses that they weren’t going to go along with the revelation that he’d got from the Lord in the form of the Law but were going to stick with the religion that their fathers had known since Abraham? Could these not be properly called antimoses, of working in a spirit opposed to Moses as intermediary? So having a valid form of religion from your ancestors but refusing the revelation of the Law compares to having the Law but refusing the Gospel. And as Moses said, the Lord would send another like him (Moses) and whomever would not listen to that man the Lord would require it of them.
And, to belabor the point, Christ said that Moses spoke of Him ... so if not there then when? This puts Him saying that the Pharisees had set themselves in Moses seat in greater clarity ... the seat of Moses properly belonged to the one Moses spoke of and that makes the Pharisees that Christ spoke of out to be theological squatters.
(Side note: Moses spoke of another like him after him arising from Israel ... Christ never did ... so not only is Mad Mo S.O.L. as prophets go for not being out of Israel he’s also condemned for being against Christ.)
Exactly.
Even when Paul listed off those who cannot enter the Kingdom he immediately followed that with and such were some of you. God is bigger than our sin ... it doesn’t scare Him one jot nor is He in the least impressed. God can make proverbial camels to fit through eyes of needles (which is good considering how historically mind bogglingly rich in their standard of living ordinary Americans really are).
But there is a danger someone who has known the Gospel, who has known about the Lord, faces in Romans 1:18-32 that doesn’t really reach to those like the old pagans Paul expressly wrote of who never had much in the way of valid knowledge of the Lord (particularly, I’m persuaded, that He is “Holy, Holy, Holy”) ... and I think we may be seeing this happening around us in society waaaaay to much. Or as I sometimes say, if it really, really looks like a Romans 1:18-32 era don’t be surprised to find out at the end of the day that it was.
Shebobo Dimwit, seems appropriate.
At least we won’t have to see her ugly ass hairdo anymore.
She has literally turned her back on Christ and embraced satan.
For Freepers who are reading along, this is the passage Rurudyne was referring to:
Romans 1:18-32>p? 18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
riiiight.
Amen!

LOL :-))
As stated: the script looks like Greek letters which are associated with numbers.
Also, Islamic Arabic script as we are talking of here is not the same as Syriac. Many consider it to be derived from Nabatean instead. Even then the script does not look like either Syriac or Nanpbatean but has many stylistic differences no matter which it came from.
In short, it is a script that John would not have known.
I have no idea how autocorrect jumped in to give me “Nanpbatean”. None at all....
