Condolences to Sajih's Family

[Marwan]

On behalf of this board, I would like to offer condolences to Sajih and his family for the loss of his Brother.

Sajih's Brother passed away recently from a heart attack at a very young age of only 48. I've had the good fortune of meeting and knowing this man. In fact, it was because of links with him (and his wife) that Sajih and I got to meet in the first place. In some small way of fate, he had a hand in forming this church and this site because without him, Sajih and I would never have met. And if Sajih and I never had met, this site would not exist.

Apart from that...he was a kind person, always making people laugh (Sajih and I have a private joke about Adelaide thanks to an innocent comment he made during the filming of Sajih's wedding day). He was a gentle person and a loving Husband & Father. He will be missed by many. May he rest in peace.

Let us all pray for him. Let us all pray that God will overlook the false religious teachings that this man was a victim of, and accept his soul for eternal salvation with God. Amen.

My dear brother Sajih,

We are saddened to hear about the loss of your brother. Please know that we are weeping with you. I will pray for him and pray that God is merciful enough to accept him. I offer you this prayer right now:

Our One True God,
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.

Our God, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for Sajih's family,
relatives and friends,
and I pray that Sajih's Brother is known to You alone.
May he rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite him with his past loved ones again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.
Amen.

Dear Sajih,

Sorry to hear of your loss. You and your family are in our prayers.

May God the Almighty accept your Brother into his Kingdom.

With respect,
James Vilar and Jennifer Sepulveda

It is with a heavy heart that I write these words but my brother was one of the first people that was given a transcript of the presentation way before any priest or Bishop and it saddened me then as it bitterly saddens me at this moment in time that he dismissed it as if I had not given him anything at all and continued with his usual tradition.
As with anybody that sees or even hears of the documentary and of this website it is entirely their choice whether or not they read or not read what is in them.
What saddens me more and cuts me up inside; is that these false and bold teachers the priests parade in and out of our lives boldly looking us in the eyes and making Jesus and God bless his name forever; look like liars.
These very impotent creatures that could not give me a reply till this very second about any of the points I had made ; parade in and out of our homes and the ignorant fools that follow them blindly and every two seconds call them father which we know means God; bitterly upsets me.
These liars give people false hopes and assurances ;and these poor souls whom I feel sorry for such as my family; believe them and adore them.
This brings me way back to the parable of the sower Luke 8:11-15

Jesus said, "This is what the parable means: the seed is the word of God. The seeds that fell along the path stand for those that hear; but the devil comes and takes the message away from their hearts in order to keep them from believing and being saved. ( such as I am experiencing now with the priests)

The seeds that fell on rocky ground stand for those that hear the message and receive it gladly. But it does not sink deep into them; they believe only for a while but when the time of testing comes , they fall away.

The seeds that fell among thorn bushes stand for those who hear; but the worries the riches the pleasures of this life crowd in and choke them; and their fruit never ripens.

The seed that fell on good soil stand for those who hear the message and retain it in a good and obedient heart and they persist until they bear fruit.

My dearest Brothers and Sisters we are this Good Soil and you and all those who come to the Truth of the One True God and Jesus Christ whom he sent ; are the fruit.
Hold on to this faith with tooth and nail and you will certainly be rewarded eternal life as promised by our Master Jesus in John 17:3
As for my Dear brother I pray with a heavy heart and I beg our Lord God; the Everlasting; Compassionate ; and ever Merciful God; to look upon him with Mercy and forgive the transgressions he made against him so that he may enter his Kingdom Amen!

I deeply thank you for your comforting words in these hard times and I ask the Lord God to protect you and your families and friends always; Amen!

Our Dear Brother Sajih,

This terrible news make us to cry with you. Our hearts are in pain the same like you. My english no good, so sorry I must say this in my language...

Sono terribilmente dispiaciuto per quanto successo. Io e la mia famiglia ci uniamo al vostro dolore. condoglianze.

Sapendo quanto fosse grande l'affetto che vi univa, Prego che God vi dia la forza per superare questo triste Momento.

Your family in Italia,
Anthony & Maria

I haven't been here for a little while, and I just read this posting about Sajih's Brother.

Sajih, please accept my deepest condolences about the loss of your Brother. A death in the family is even more devastating when it happens to someone too young to die. I hope you and your family stay strong, especially in front of your Brother's children that he left behind.

I will join the others in praying for your Brother, and praying that God will show him mercy and grant him entrance into his Kingdom. It is indeed regretful that your Brother was shown the truth so early in your journey, even before the videos and this website, and yet chose to ignore it. But take comfort in the hope that maybe your words were retained in his mind & heart, and maybe he accepted the truth in his soul. Even if he believed it 1%...that might be enough for God to look favourably on him. I will end with a prayer we can all share:

Almighty God, hear our prayers for Sajih's Brother, whom You have called from this life to Yourself. Grant him light, happiness, and peace. Let him pass in safety through the gates of death, and live forever with all Your saints in the light You promised to Abraham and to all his descendants in faith. Guard him from all harm and reward him with all Your saints. Pardon his sins and give him eternal life in Your kingdom. Amen.

[Sajih]

I am deeply touched by your messages and especially the encouraging words of our dear brother Eric who is dear to all of us.

Matthew 12:46-50
Jesus was still talking to the people when his mother and brothers arrived. They stood outside asking to speak with him. So one of the people there said to him. "Look your mother and brothers are standing outside, and they want to speak with you."
Jesus answered,"Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?" then he pointed to his disciples and said,

"Look! Here are my mother and my brothers !

Whoever does what my father ( MY God) in heaven wants him to do is my brother my sister and my mother."

And this is also what I say to you; anybody that comes into this belief ; is also my Brother Sister and Mother

May God bless you all and keep you always in the faith of the One True God as One united family ; AMEN!

I would like to send my sincere condolences to you Sajih and your family. Losing a Brother is very difficult and painful. I know because I lost my Brother to cancer 6 years ago.

I can't think of anything to say that hasn't already been said by the others. Just know that I stand by you and will join in the prayers that the others have generously shared with us here.

May God have mercy on his soul and show him divine wisdom by accepting him into his kingdom. As Eric mentioned - perhaps your Brother took your words into his heart and saved himself during the last few seconds he had on this Earth.

Stay strong,
David Shore

[Sajih]

Thank you my dear brother David for your kind words. May your beloved brothers soul also be resting in Gods Kingdom;
Amen!

I'm sorry for my lateness, but Gareth just told me the sad news about your Brother. I cannot express in words how sorry I was to hear about this. Sajih, I wish I could be in front of you in person to give a comforting embrace and a shoulder to lean on. All I could do from here in Canada is leave you a message on this forum.

My deepest condolences goes out to your entire family. I will be praying for your Brother. It sounds like he was aware of the truth from you. You may have saved his soul by showing him that transcript of your presentation. He may have appeared to continue with his usual tradition...but that does not mean he didn't know the truth. Knowing something to be true and acting on that knowledge is two different things. He may have needed more time to act upon the knowledge he received from you. God would know if this was true, and we must pray that God's wisdom and mercy was enough for your Brother to enter God's Kingdom.

This incident has made me look at my own relatives in a different light now. How would I feel if a relative of mine died today without knowing the truth? I must learn from this feeling, and must try to share this important truth to everyone I care about. Maybe starting a group like what Gareth has done would be a good start for me. Even if I just save one person's soul...at least that would be worth any amount of effort that I make.

May God continue to give you the strenght you need to continue on.
