Faith Was Foundational for Queen Elizabeth II: 'I Have Drawn Great Comfort in Difficult Times from Christ's Words'
Christian Broadcasting Network ^ | September 9, 2022 | Brody Carter

Known for her pageantry as a royal queen, her exemplary leadership, and her public statements of faith in Jesus Christ, Queen Elizabeth even developed a friendship founded in faith with the late American evangelist Billy Graham.

In The Queen's Christmas Message from 2000, she said, "For me, the teachings of Christ and my own personal accountability before God provide a framework in which I try to lead my life... I, like so many of you, have drawn great comfort in difficult times from Christ's words and example."

Great Britain begins 10-days of mourning, Friday. The Queen's body will be sent by train to King's Cross Station. Charles will be there with Prime Minister Truss. The Queen will lie in state at Westminster hall and her funeral will take place at Westminster Abby.

Perhaps, as it is commonly said of Elizabeth II, as it was of her excellent royal predecessor great-grandmother Victoria, that she was saved by the letter "m".

"For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called" (1 Corinthians 1:26 AV).

If you’re going to be appointed as what is essentially the Pope of of the Church of England, the Pope of the Church of Scotland and the Pope of the Church of Ireland... You better have a lot of faith to go along with that.

Let’s hope that Charlie can give up talking to his flowers long enough to ponder that, as he has now become the King of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and ‘Defender of the Faith’.

Queen of England Is a Descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, Newspaper Claims

BY CRISTINA MAZA ON 4/12/18 AT 10:38 AM EDT
NEWSWEEK

The Queen of England, Elizabeth II, is a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, according to a Moroccan newspaper that claimed to trace the monarch’s genealogy back to the founder of Islam.

Queen Elizabeth And Royal Family Attends Easter Service At Windsor

The theory first surfaced in the late 1980s when a genealogy guide for the monarchy alleged that the Queen was related to the Muslim Kings who ruled Spain from around 711 until 1492.

“It is little known by the British people that the blood of Mohammed flows in the veins of the queen,” Harold Brooks-Baker, an authority on the British monarchy and the publisher of the royal genealogical guide, wrote to Britain’s then-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in 1986.

“However, all Moslem religious leaders are proud of this fact,” Brooks-Baker added.

... Defender of the faith.

LOL

The man is not present and fails in his history as to what made Great Britain Great and then made America greater. He’s failed as have most of his countrymen and Americans suffer the same demise. Thusly the pending collapse of both.

It’s Christianity which gave the G7 the leg up on progress, invention, technology and economy.

The time has well past to restore and defend that proud history and heritage.

Now, with the new generation buying the Marxist/Muslim invasion we can readily see the failings in both countries leading into their pending demise and collapse.

That’s nice, Liz, but is Jesus your Savior, and your Lord?

Nothing else is of consequence.

“Pope of of the Church of England, the Pope of the Church of Scotland and the Pope of the Church of Ireland”

The monarch is not the head of the Church of Ireland and the Church of Scotland is not an Anglican church.

Read her statement again:

"For me, the teachings of Christ and my own personal accountability before God provide a framework in which I try to lead my life..."
...and point out how this somehow is not a firm belief that Jesus is the mediator between her and God.

Related to Muhammed? That theory has been debunked:

Her statement was lukewarm and dodgy. It should have been based on this:

Romans 10:9-10 NASB1995
that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.

Anyone can have the teachings of Christ as a framework. The Mormons and the Jehovah’s Witnesses have that.

Is Jesus Lord? Yes or no. It’s that simple.

My, aren't you special.

Next time, deliver your condescension to her multi-cultural assembance of 54 British Commonwealth nations around the world, to whom was speaking.

Go ahead, make it a real snake-handling, fire-and-brimstone barnburner, and watch all the outrage in all those non-Christian nations, caused by serpent speech and dove wisdom, instead of the reverse, to those towards whom she was speaking softly to turn away wrath.

Which witness works better with the non-churched—ecclesiastical superiority, or quiet, heartfelt witness? She chose the latter.

Wisely.

Presbyterian, Anglican... Tomato, tomato... They’re all essentially the same heathen protosents, but I stand corrected. The monarch isn’t the ‘head’ of the Church of Scotland, but let’s face it... Scotland pretty much does anything that the English monarchs order them to do.

So the monarch is the de facto head of the Church of Scotland.

Regardless... All protosents, presbyterians and anglicans end up in the same inferno. They should have all stayed with the true church... Roman Catholicism. But that poor Henry needed a divorce, which he wasn’t granted, and poor Anne Boleyn paid the ultimate price. Then again... It was all her fault, or maybe the Pope’s for not granting that divorce.

History... After it’s over, it’s over.
